Want Experienced Opinions from the Industry?

Not enough? Well not to worry. Here are some more of the helpful information articles our staff have drawn together and published on our main 1to1Legal website:

ABS Lawyers Ltd: The official website we link to is www.abslawyers.co.uk and at the moment www.abslawyers.com is owned by a completely different firm in the US. class="infoquote "if someone wants to fight for compensation, their help will be a good choice" "the topic was already c...


Aconveyancing Ltd: Certainly the firm's expertise has been called upon by several news outlets for comment on various issues facing buyers sellers and the property industry in general. class="infoquote "We also provide expert legal advice ..."< div> If the firm you're checki...


Antony Hodari Legal Services: The issue with related domains not being owned or incorrect searches really only affects law matters where the client has to pay the solicitor large sums of money. They even provide the qualification dates of any solicitors working at the firm which helps to highligh...


Allan Argue and Co Solicitors: So how do you judge such things? Sadly in Scotland the Law Society does not provide nearly as much useful user-side information as their English Welsh counterpart. Litigation issues tend to follow the same pattern though and most Personal Injury firms will cover the majority...


Aspire Licensing & Administrative Services: But that's what you'd expect from a firm that deals day in day out with a single area of law. class="infoquote "We can take your initial instructions, provide relevant training to you and your staff, draft and submit applications to all relevant authorities, draft re...


Bilkus and Boyle: For example, we have three 5 star reviews on Trustpilot but due to the way they calculate averages - we only have a 3.5 star rating overall. But there are plenty of good indicators you may not have noticed between the lines. The majority of large conveyancing speciali...


BLZ Solicitors Ltd: One solicitor has experience with the immigration process whilst the other originally worked for the 'enemy' - i.e. If you look at the page for https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 6833 blz-limited" this firm< a> you'll see there are only two solicitors working with...


Branch Austin McCormick Solicitors: But if a firm claims to handle a wide range of case types and then has individual solicitors handling each specific type of case - then claiming to be 'specialists' seems perfectly fair. We've been reviewing law firms for over twenty years and have never seen a firm wi...

Trojan Solicitors: For example, they claim to be "award-winning" on their front page but there was no real clarity about what those awards are. Before that point you had to get a solicitor who would then hire a barrister on your behalf to represent you in court. class="infoquote "Newly e...


Catteralls in Wakefield: But the reason we point out how easy it is to get mixed up is because this firm deal with Property Conveyancing matters https: www.lawgazette.co.uk news police-warn-solicitors-about-phishing-scam 5106839.article" which have been the increasing target of scammers for years...


Cheshire Estates and Legal Ltd: So whilst there are negative reviews about this firm too (and some with what sound like very valid complaints) - there are several comments that are just weird or look like they are about the wrong firm. Many of which may not be the type of thing the regular consumer m...


Deo Volente Legal: But there are no 200 year old solicitors imparting wisdom. The idea being that people imagine a 200 year old amount of experience within a firm simply because their branding has existed for that long. Something you'd like to see in any legal practice you're thinking of usin...


Dylan Nair Ltd Solicitors: So much so that when people search for reviews about solicitors but see very few - they could think something was wrong. You never know if that one star criticism is from an old opponent who lost to them, or a disgruntled client who's fraudulant whiplash claim got thrown out...


Special Education Needs Lawyer: Some other resources will pop up as well that might be helpful with some of the basics at least, including www.childlawadvice.org.uk Plus some organisations that may not be able to help you at all - for example www.educationlawassociation.org.uk An organisation looking ...


Fair Result Divorce: So there is a massive difference between a firm saying they are 'one of the leading firms' versus something actually specific and therefore useful such as 'one of the top five personal injury firms in Wales'. We simply try to offer a sort of business insider view. That's whe...


Fieldfisher Solicitors LLP: As there are no extra generic terms such as 'fieldfisher law' or 'fieldfisher legal' to cause confusion, and with most people being able to get the i and the e in the correct order (as the defunct i before e rule only impedes words with a c in them) - we don't expect there ...


Fultons Estate Agents: But if a firm states 'we have thirty years of combined experience within the firm' - that could mean ten members of staff with just three years of experience each. (10x3=30) So do pay attention to wording. The full branding of this firm is Fulton's Solicitors & Estate Agent...


Hawkridge & Co Solicitors: For any legal matter there are often a range of options such as a general practice firm, a specialist provider, a direct access barrister, or even sometimes a non-law-firm solution such as for bankruptcy, wills, or debt collection. Frankly many issues are totally outside you...


Hooper Hyde Solicitors: But they're understandably less likely to share their experiences about a messy divorce, criminal charges they are facing, or suing their employer for sexual harassment. As stated above though, for legal services that should not be taken as a negative sign. If you https: ...


Howe and Co Solicitors: Other companies such as John Howe & Co Solicitors are using www.jhowe.co.uk, and The Howe Practice have www.thehowepractice.co.uk so it's probably a good idea to bookmark the correct site once you're on it just to be sure. But certainly Howe & Co are well-known with seve...


Khan Law Glasgow: Some review forums had zero negative comments . Some firms may take a cut of your compensation if you win. The majority of people would imagine there's a significant difference between a Motor Offence specialist and a general practice solicitor trying the same case. But t...


KRS Wills & Probate: If you're a thorough background checker (and we're acutely aware that many of you are) you'll notice that KRS Estate Planning Ltd is listed with Companies House as having a https: find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk company 10920582" start date in 201...


Levins Solicitors: We've worked with Levins Solicitors for several years now so obviously we have a very positive opinion of them as a firm. This is complete marketing jargon. Most reviews are about their Criminal Law help and Conveyancing work. We're not too fond of people sharing the...


Lindsays Solicitors Scotland: One last actually boastful sentence from the firm's site: class="infoquote "It's no coincidence that some clients have been with us for decades or even centuries"< div>. But also several more recent additions such as Ben Doherty (qualified in 2004) and Douglas Roberts ...


Mason Bullock Solicitors: Mason Bullock don't have a company-made testimonial section on their site either. There always are. It's a difficult area of work , often futile, and not a massively well paying job to take on. class="infoquote "most of our cases can be dealt with successfully via pho...


McEwan Fraser Legal Scotland: No-one seems to go for 'macewan' or hyphenated versions of the domain. Whilst MFL are mentioned in the https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation offices 6448 mcewan-fraser-legal" England & Wales database< a>, they are not actually based down there so full informati...


Mckie Legal Solicitors Ltd: Normally we would have a mini-rant about 'protecting clients from scammers', but that's not really necessary here. The main address is in Penrith but they've recently opened a local office in St Helens according to a recent Legal Futures article. We've seen negative reviews ...

Jacobs Law Solicitors: e.g. We know what we do best ..."< div> Coming back to similar names, this also means if you want to see reviews of the firm you need to be very careful what terms you use. It's not as though any would say the opposite either. There are many other overly used marketing ...


MGBe Legal Ltd: Someone who constantly updates themselves in the new legislation and guidelines. Here are a few of our reasons for doing so. Thankfully MGBe Legal is registered with The Law Society of England & Wales which offers a wealth of information user-side. Not so with MGBe as...


Michael Leighton Jones Solicitors: Others include Peter FitzGerald who joined the UK legal system in 1996, right up to Sarah Price in 2003. There are still plenty of firms out there that will charge a consultation fee or even full hourly rates for the first meeting.. Some even use identical images of people ...


Milners Law LLP: If you saw someone posting a negative review about Pizza Hut saying 'they wouldn't sell me a Big Mac!' - you'd think they were a little nuts. People recieve emails from scammers stating the bank details they need to pay their house deposit into have changed. People are very ...


OTS Immigration Solicitors: (Wherever that expression came from.) class="infoquote "OTS Solicitors is a well-known firm of UK immigration, Employment, Family and Litigation Solicitors, and the leading authority for many TV, radio and newspaper organisation"< div> Whilst many people will jus...


Pacific Law: Any possible errors such as 'pacific solicitors' or 'pacific legal' may bring up different results in the search engines. Either way should really make no difference to your choice though. We've seen one law firm get a stunning review that ended with the phrase 'best...


Penerley Solicitors: class="infoquote "At Penerley we are committed to providing the best possible level of service to our clients."< div>. class="infoquote "our innovative and less-stuffy approach to providing legal services ensure that the focus is always on results"< div> I...


Pump Court Chambers Barristers: There are dozens of types of cases where this is applicable and for most of them it will certainly be more time and cost efficient to use a Direct Access barrister whom you have chosen to work with yourself throughout the case. Words such as 'modern', 'leading', 'top', 'aw...


RD Costings Ltd: For example most people will want a specialist for Criminal Defence or Motor Offence work. Quite often a personal injuries practice will state no win, no fee and leave it at that. Criminal injury claims obviously require considerable tact in light of the t...


Reid and Black Solicitors: Whilst not actually based in England Wales, Reid Black will inevitably deal with a lot of other law firms, insurers and businesses in that area. Some of which have been past names but their current registered company name is Reid Black Solicitors Ltd. Never discuss bank...


Suhail Ahmad at Richmond Legal: It's pretty bleak though and only getting worse. class="infoquote "Contact us on 0161 637 7177 or 07956 113019 for emergencies"< div> Another sentence that might stand out to us more than regular consumers is this one. Sadly the tradition of 9am-5pm Mon-Fri wor...


Robin Somerville Barrister: You essentially end up paying for two people to do the work of one and dragging the case out for longer. However there are many situations where going direct to a barrister yourself will definitely save you considerable time and cost . We tried entering all the informa...


Conveyancing Search Providers: We think it's fair to say though that after 12+ years of them being in business, with the relationships they have with other renown service providers, and the single-product-focus they clearly have - it stands to reason they are good at what they do . to confirm past cl...


Springle Solicitors: Every client relationship matters to us."< div> Springle & Co is registered with The Law Society of England & Wales and if you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 632150 springle-co-solicitors" check out the page< a> on any given firm you'll be shown their loc...


Stenfield Solicitors Ltd: class="infoquote "very impressed with the efficient handling of our case" "We were kept informed throughout" "absolutely fantastic and made my move completely and utterly stress free" "Efficient, friendly and great value for money"< div> These are j...


Taylor Price Legal Ltd: class="infoquote "Emails have been sent misusing the name and contact details of Taylor Price Solicitors. It's not as if there is any firm out there claiming to have the complete opposite of these traits. The emails may contain a link to malware."< div> That quote...


The Injury Solicitor Salford: Immediate reaction to The Injury Solicitor may be that it looks like any other personal injury firm. So whilst some firms promise no win, no fee they may take a cut of your compensation at the end of a case. The Law Society of England & Wales have the most i...


Trust Inheritance Limited: There are dozens out there, but the most commonly used are Google Reviews, Yelp, Trustpilot and Yell. class="infoquote "excellent professional, prompt and accurate service every time" "Does what it says on the tin" "I have found to be excellent value for...
