Aconveyancing Ltd: If the firm you are looking at does not cover these related areas, then they may be a more budget conveyancing firm. But if any issues come up - you may end up having to switch to a more widely experienced firm and starting all over again. So what can you use to judge ...
Antony Hodari Legal Services: The firm we covered yesterday were very explicit about how their divorce experiences had led them to create their alternative mediation service. If we do discover it, we'll let you know. Housing disrepair on the other hand are cases we've always understood to require consid...
Allan Argue and Co Solicitors: So when you see firms offering such on their website, don't just flick over it like it's nothing . Any half decent solicitor will explain if there are any success fees early on though. The reason for covering that little information nugget about case titles was also t...
Aspire Licensing & Administrative Services: Is this a negative point then? Licensing is an area of law where you can have help and be represented by a non-court-qualified person. The full firm's title is Aspire Licensing & Administrative Services with the official web address of www.aspirelicensing.co.uk, current...
Bilkus and Boyle: Whilst the firm's name is unique there are obviously quite a few possible typos. If you've already been through a dozen law firms' websites today searching for one to take your case, you'll probably have noticed the majority use the same types of sales language, images, and ...
BLZ Solicitors Ltd: But you never know what they'll think of next. No really, that last one actually happens more than we ever thought possible. Whilst most of us may assume it's a sign the firm has an online client area to check up on your case 24 7 - it could simply mean that the solicitors k...
Catteralls in Wakefield: In all honesty, no legal practice has a 200+ year old solicitor sitting behind a desk issuing sage advice. If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation people 412101 catteralls?Solicitors=True" check out the page for this firm< a> on there you'll see deta...
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. Quite often negative ratings are left by the side the law firm be...
Deo Volente Legal: One last snippet from the firm's site: class="infoquote "We are here to offer all the expertise and support you will need"< div>. class="infoquote "People rely on us, and we pride ourselves on our client-centered advocacy and representation."< div> The firm...
Dylan Nair Ltd Solicitors: On this occasion the fact this firm is offering considerable free time for non-litigation matters is the point of note. Make sure to read comments when it comes to law firms though, not just flick through star ratings. The official site we link to above is www.dylanna...
Mckie Legal Solicitors Ltd:
It's also far more common to get misleading reviews about solicitors because a lot of times any case will have a winner, and a loser.
class="infoquote "Ive been asked a few times already 'which Barrister did you use?'"< div>
This is a quote from the firm's ...
Special Education Needs Lawyer:
There are quite a few large firms that will take your Education Law case on. This is either because the types of cases are so niche, so complicated, or possibly not the most lucrative for a those considering their company's bottom line. Sometimes the only way to ensur...
Fair Result Divorce:
Enquiring about and researching what avenues are available should be anyone's first point of call before actually starting to weigh up which firm out of those options to use.
At the moment https: www.halifax.co.uk aboutonline security protecting-yourself-from-f...
Fultons Estate Agents: The worst comment in our opinion though, was a 3 star review for the company because the client believed the firm's offices were Hard to find" . The biggest conveyancer in the UK which we reviewed last week has a Google rating of just 3.1 stars at the time of writing. That'...
Hawkridge & Co Solicitors: However for this you are usually able to check this independently and get a good insight into the overall experience a firm may have. The official website we link to above is www.hawklaw.co.uk with www.hawklaw.com being about some WWII land renovation project.
One thin...
Hooper Hyde Solicitors: HooperHyde is the branding used but for some reason when you type various related phrases into search engines you sometimes get results for a service called Lawyer365 or Hooper Business Services. Unfortunately that's not always easy when it comes to law firms. Hooper Hyde st...
Howe and Co Solicitors:
There are hundreds of reports of people https: www.express.co.uk life-style property 1176297 property-for-sale-scam-fraud-warning-news-mortgage" being scammed into handing over money< a> that was meant to go to their solicitor.

Khan Law Glasgow:
class="infoquote "Specialist Personal Injury Solicitors"< div>
'Specialist' is another word that seems to be used a lot. In fact the number of firms claiming to be 'award-winning' seems to far exceed the number of awards we could think possible. The quote above ...
KRS Wills & Probate: Only just a couple of decades ago most people would expect to contact a high street solicitor for any legal issue and that those solicitors within the firm would have a wide range of expertise. Some have forced themselves to stay open an extra half hour one day a week or to ...
Branch Austin McCormick Solicitors: We've seen very tenuous links before including one firm that claimed their history went back 200+ years because they moved into the building previously occupied by an older firm.
class="infoquote "We get to know you and take the time to understand your unique needs"< d...
Levins Solicitors:
class="infoquote "For over 30 years now we have continued to build our reputation and to provide legal services of the highest professional standard."< div>
The firms website has a considerable number of pages. So how do Levins Solicitors stack up on such boards?...
Lindsays Solicitors Scotland: New blood with a steady hand is an enviable mix for any firm you might be thinking of using. But I'm guessing most people that see articles with companies holding large cheques being handed to a charity rep - have a little cynicism in them too. It's quite refreshing to see. ...
Mason Bullock Solicitors: If you ever want to look up the specialties or qualification dates of the solicitor you are thinking of using, there is usually that information on the firm's local Law Society website. When it comes to personal injury it seems that many solicitors are just pushing clients t...
McEwan Fraser Legal Scotland: But you'd be wrong. They also have an online valuation tool. However, one of the properties showed a possible selling margin of £60,000 difference between a high and low estimate. We tried it with a few of our own home addresses and the quotes were in the ball park. The onl...
MGBe Legal Ltd:
Not so with MGBe as https: mgbelegal.com blog " their blog section< a> articles seem genuinely intended to help with titles such as 'The 7 most common errors in EEA Permanent Residence applications' and 'For better or worse: the new Legal Aid Immigration contrac...
Michael Leighton Jones Solicitors: A good mix of ages, experience, and case focus. Scammers email clients saying they are the solicitor and telling them the bank details for payment have changed. However it would still be fair to call this firm a group of 'specialists' as well. Some even use identical ima...
Milners Law LLP: In this new generation ruled by Facebook and Instagram, we know that seeing such information can make a difference in a potential clients selection process. To us it seems quite irrelevant as you could get a 1-year-qualified newbie solicitor at a 200-year-old firm or a forty...
OTS Immigration Solicitors: This designation is possible for such firms because whilst they do list several types of legal matter to be dealt with, the individual solicitors within the practice may only handle one case type and will therefore genuinely specialise in it. Including costs"
"brillian...
Pacific Law: As we said, this is a new firm. This is because whilst people are very happy to jump online and give praise about their new toaster - they are less likely to rush to a public forum to discuss how their recent divorce, will writing, criminal defence, or bankruptcy went.
...
Penerley Solicitors: They naturally want to point out - that's not them. Unfortunately this has not really spread to law firms as much as everywhere else.
Their site is https secure for submitting your personal details on their contact form. We really don't advise relying on any individu...
Pump Court Chambers Barristers: These are not just other offices of the same group of barristers. Prior to this you would have to hire a solicitor, tell them all about your case, then they would go hire a barrister and get them to handle court side of the matter.
class="infoquote "Chambers are groups...
RD Costings Ltd: This is a costs drafting firm aimed at lawyers themselves.
The short version of all this is simply that RD Costings' transparency about the 25% being declared on their website is a very good sign about the type of setup they run and ethos they hold . A whiplash claim ...
Reid and Black Solicitors: Alongside Criminal Injuries, Untraced Drivers and Medical Negligence matters - Military Claims can take a long time, be less likely to suceed, and pay out much less for both the client and the solicitor.
It should be mentioned that Reid Black have moved away from the u...
Suhail Ahmad at Richmond Legal: This is especially true for Personal Injury and Immigration cases. The information provided user-side rivals anything we've seen from other Law Societies across the UK. Over the past two decades the number of law firms willing to work for the drastically reduced pay that L...
Robin Somerville Barrister: We tried the following week and it still didn't work. Not just for the legal industry either. They would then contact a barrister to actually do the work and court representation. The official site we link to above is www.robinsomerville.co.uk with www.robinsomerville.com no...
Conveyancing Search Providers: It probably doesn't occur to employees of a firm to jump on the web to write a review about a service their company uses. But that's the case for most related service providers such as this conveyancing searches company or others such as law costs drafting firms. We saw a fe...
Springle Solicitors: Some snippets:
class="infoquote "got the outcome we needed in a very short space of time"
"would highly recommend and will definitely use again"
"very professional throughout and we are so grateful for all the hard work"
"Professional and supportive people"< ...
Stenfield Solicitors Ltd: Also at the moment neither www.stenfieldsolicitors.com or the .co.uk version are owned by anyone. Never discuss payments or bank details via email and remember that even the most official looking email addresses can be faked. A last word from the firm's site:

Taylor Price Legal Ltd: We will try to show you how to find information between the lines and point out research resources you may not be aware of. Certainly the majority are positive with the main themes being the apparent dedication of the staff and the speed at which the work is accomplished...
The Injury Solicitor Salford: 100% compensation guaranteed, on the other hand, promises no part of you compensation will be taken. You can end up with a a 1-year-experienced solicitor from a 200-year-old firm, or a 40-year-experienced veteran solicitor from a 1-year-old law office.
It's probably a ...
Trojan Solicitors:
These days there's a huge number of firms who have chosen to focus on a handful of sometimes completely unrelated case types such as bankruptcy and probate together. As mentioned before - when it comes to Immigration these days it's probably a very good idea to make s...
Trust Inheritance Limited:
A quick note on navigation as the firm uses two quite generic words in the branding - i.e. For many case types people absolutely want a niche firm such as for Motor Offences, Immigration or Debt Recovery. But after checking up on the credentials of a firm and looking u...
Ullah Law Associates: all came up with the same site. The official name is ULA Solicitors Ltd and if you see any mentions of Ullah Law Associates (U.L.A.) - that was the name of the firm prior to 2018. The main resource people check out for this is the public review boards such as Google, Faceboo...
