Here are some more of the helpful information articles our staff have put together and published on our main 1to1Legal UK website:

My 33 Legal Limited: Both statements are true. Well for one thing, they focus on criminal injury matters . Sadly the focus is often money, money, money and it's all too common for marketing companies to push that ideal when trying to tempt you into using a particular firm. Again, that ma...


5 Essex Court Chambers & Partners: This may be partly because you really do deal one-on-one with the barrister rather than with the firm as a whole. But probably more so because Direct Access is unfortunately not as widely known as it should be considering how long it's been available. Many of our barristers ...


Aina Khan Solicitors: 35+ countries covered."< div> Another thing we see alot is firms stating they are 'Award Winning' with no further reference to what that award was for. class="infoquote "It is amazing that you were able to advise on my complex Surrogacy case while I was working ab...


Allsop Durn Dearlove: class="infoquote "Our solicitors provide personalised guidance and experienced representation throughout the legal process, always working towards your best possible outcome."< div> Again, claiming a large amount of experience is something practically every law f...


Apprise Legal Services: That way you are more likely to find something that appeals to your specific needs and budget. Quite often we've seen reviews about a firm that have clearly been put under the wrong company and even one star reviews with very positive comments (meaning someone has made a cli...


Assured Probate Services: We did see something being built at www.assuredprobateservices.co.uk too so just be careful when browsing to make sure you're on an official site and contacting a genuine APS Legal or Assured Probate representative. They should have the APS Legal logo on their website thou...


Autologistic Solutions Limited: Sadly we didn't manage to get any extra details such as how much adding it to their policy would cost, or which insurers - but it seems nearly a fifth of people would have a nasty shock after an accident. The official www.autologistic.co.uk web address is the one we've linke...


Avery & Walters Ltd: class="infoquote "Our expert team of Residential Conveyancers have over 50 years experience of buying and selling residential property all over the UK."< div> This is often where some firms can get 'clever' with their maths to mislead people. Just something to be ...


AWH Legal Ltd: However with anyone able to make a flashy website and write good sales pitches - how do you know the best options for you? If you saw one firm had a multi-level office space with a dozen staff dressed smartly and a string of qualifications posted around the walls - fine. F...


Briffa Intellectual Property Solicitors: Mini-articles stating how great the firm is at dealing with x, y, or z. One look at Briffa's website though with the large text, bright pinks, yellows, and flower images - we knew we were on to something. That's not to say they appear anything less than professional: ...


CFG Law: And obviously we think a lot of the firm otherwise they wouldn't be on our network. We've been recommending CFG Law to people with injury claims for some years now. Be aware that www.cfg.co.uk and www.cfg.com both are different firms, and searching for the three letters on t...


CSL Law Croydon: Of course CSL cover a niche case range of Divorce, Dispute Resolution, and Employment Law so the site shouldn't be large anyway. But in this case, we'd advice it anyway just in case your memory lets you down as you type and you end up going in circles for a little while and ...


DFA Law Solicitors: The www.dfalaw.com site is for a completely different law firm and several other possible variants people might accidentally try like www.dfasolicitors.co.uk were not owned by anyone. Whenever we discuss a firm that deals with property matters we always advise bookmar...

Ian Mallon Solicitors Ltd: Over the past few years having staff profiles on the company website has become more common. That might help you with your own research and suggest some general resources you can use to check up on law firms in general. (The fact we're a Scottish firm admitting that fact s...


Driscoll Kingston Solicitors: Whilst the firm has a 'Our People' section where you can read about staff members (something we encourage every law firm to have) it's not instantly clear from the main pages that Driscoll Kingston have some very experienced solicitors available. As always, we recomm...


Hammond Trotter Solicitors Ltd: Obviously with the double 'm' and double 't' there are possibilities of tired keyboard slips and misspellings so we would recommend bookmarking the main site to come back to later.. The longer a motor offence runs on for, the less options become available. Losing a license c...


Frank Rogers Motoring Solicitor: This is limited to 30 minutes."< div> They also appear to have a genuine Blog section. Note that many law firm's websites will make a statement such as "40 years of experience within the firm" or "20 years of combined experience". Make sure to find out first if you qu...


GloverPriest Solicitors Ltd: Typically when a firm gets quite large, they tend to hire a full time 'web guy' who then goes on to generate thousands of inner pages of a website targeting various topics, viral videos, celebrity-related law news and so on. It's useful tool to keep in mind when browsing fir...


HH Law Ltd: The only things we didn't like about this firm don't really bear much relation to their actual work as personal injury solicitors. So for security's sake it's probably a good idea to bookmark the correct site once you're on it . Do Hampson Hughes Solicitors do...


Helix Law Solicitors: Some will directly ask customers to provide something in writing using a 'customer feedback questionnaire' after the case has finished. So yes, the fact Helix Law have taken the time to produce such pieces is a positive indication. This is because the articles are mostly wri...


Hodge Jones and Allen Solicitors: It's a relative term. But when we use the word 'big' to describe Hodge Jones & Allen LLP, it's their presence we're talking about - which is the 'biggest' we've seen so far. A position we've only ever attained with 2 of over 100 websites we've worked on. Also, they are ...


IWC Estate Planning & Management Ltd: If you've gone to a solicitor there's a good chance you're already having a big problem and are already very aggravated. They then take that case to a third party solicitor to deal with whilst they act as a very-well-paid middleman. 2002 is a decent enough time for any firm ...


Jarmans Solicitors Sittingbourne: A quick note on navigation as the double 's' in www.jarmanssolicitors.co.uk could pose the possibility of errors. There are many things people can use to gauge whether a law firm stands out from the rest. No website came up for most we tried either. This typically resu...


Joanna Connolly Solicitor Advocates: For example, when we checked their site it stated that during their firm's history they had: won 78% of cases, lost 2% of cases, had 20% of cases dropped, and recovered 75% of legal costs. Previously Head of Consumer Credit Litigation at MSB Solicitors, Joanna has had extens...


Stephen McCaffery & Catherine Stock: How he describes himself? class="infoquote "Renowned for my 'hands on' approach to all cases, I am fast to meet clients and become involved in case strategy and management from the earliest opportunity. This is how I get results. I hope you'll agree now that my ...


Kudos Legal Solicitors: If you click on the names of each person you'll see more information such as their specialist case types. However we tend to focus on third party independent review boards when doing our research which (according to our poll last year) is what most of you do as well with any...


Lawcommercial Trading Ltd: However they do cover a wide range of matters for both individuals and businesses . They are not always 100% in control but quite often take 100% of the blame. Their official website that we've linked to above is www.lawcomm.co.uk and it's an https secure site. However...


Leech and Co Solicitors Ltd: You could get a 1-year experienced solicitor from a 30-year-old firm and a 30-year experience solicitor from a 1-year-old firm. Even those who don't need the out of hours appointments appreciate the idea of flexibility and availability in their solicitor rather than imaginin...


Linkilaw Solicitors Ltd in London: The solicitors themselves also get scammed into paying out to the wrong people. So how does the modern Linkilaw stack up from that angle? class="infoquote "We have a varied skill set across a wide multitude of practice areas, sectors and also client types."< div> ...


AJLO Solicitors: The age of the brand name really has no importance at all, other than a marketing gimmick. www.liverpool-law.co.uk. That's not helpful and shouldn't really be allowed in our opinion. We ran a poll in the middle of last year and in this age of mobile phones, email, and 24-hou...


MTA Solicitors LLP: Another type of scam going round right now is https: www.theguardian.com money 2020 jul 18 homebuyer-loses-300000-to-fraudsters-but-gets-it-back-after-we-step-in" targeting people trying to buy or sell a house< a> in order to get them to accidentally deposit money i...


NV Legal Solicitors: The law firm then pursues the third party, or more often their insurer, for compensation. It's quite common for firms to use marketing jargon to obscure their real experience levels. 'No win, no fee' and '100% compensation'. Considering the wide range of case types within t...


OJ Solicitors Glasgow: class="infoquote "For personal injury claims and work accidents we have a "no win, no fee" policy, which means that if you do not win your case you won't have to pay us any fees."< div> One thing we always advise people is to ask up front about both "no win, no fe...


Penn Chambers Ltd: The firm's Blog section is also very client-oriented. class="infoquote "Penn Chambers Solicitors offer comprehensive legal advice and representation at court."< div> Another huge potential benefit of using this firm over some others is this ability to do bo...


Redwood Collections Ltd: Unfortunately there are companies out there that will charge you a fee for doing the threat letters but then simply hand the case back to you if those letters fail. class="infoquote "We supply all clients with regular reports in hard copy and 24 7 online access to your...


RSR Law Croydon: As we've mentioned before in other articles - No Win, No Fee does not mean no fees at all and firms are not always clear about this on their websites, often mixing in other catchphrases such as "100% compensation" as well. Which is neither clear or helpful. So we'll sti...


SBW Lawyers Ltd: The latter means there are no fees charged to the client at all, win or lose. Conditional fee arrangement are most common amongst more difficult cases such as medical negligence claims against the NHS or severe life-changing injuries. Having a business person running the f...


Serious Injury Law Solicitors: Over the last 31 years, we have dealt with some of the UK’s largest and most complex serious injury cases, achieving numerous multi-million pound settlements for our clients."< div> There are an unbelievable number of personal injury claims firms out there. A good mix ...


SR Law Solicitors London: That last snippet for example indicates that whoever took the reviewer's call must have listened properly and for some time . You'll find there are plenty of firms who state they have transparent fees, but not many that actually list examples on their site. However we've be...


Will Taborn Ltd: If you're a business person yourself , you've probably seen the numerous 'company furniture catalogues' that seems to list £200 chairs you know you can buy for £25 from your local Argos. On those occasions we have to use our 'gut' backed by 20+ years experience working wit...

Hutcheon Law Solicitors: Beware of law practices touting ancient founding dates. Plus none of the variants we tried such as www.hutcheonsolicitors.co.uk .com seemed to be owned by anyone yet. They all have the same address, and either of the Hutcheon names should bring up relevant information revi...


Johnsons Solicitors Nottingham: Just as an aside (and we'll probably get complaints about this) but the 1☆ review we saw where the client complained about his solicitor acting friendly with the police? We can't understand that. The first paragraph of the firm's website states: class="inf...


Thorpe Wilson Ltd: The firm's website is https secure for submitting your details via the online form. For example, the phrase 'No Win, No Fee' only means that there are no costs if your case loses. We would also recommend bookmarking the website if you plan on coming back to it. We sa...


TSABI Ltd Solicitors: On this occasion, it definitely seems to be the case with a range of experience indicated including Mohammed Asghar and Fleur Ohonbamu who qualified in 1993 and 1999 respectively - going all the way up to newer staff such as Elizabeth Downing (qualified in 2011) and Ruqaya...


Philip Nam White Collar Legal: Let's be honest, when it comes to legal services - White Collar Ltd being established in 2013 sounds like the paint hasn't even dried yet when compared to the "established in 1801" dates some solicitors come up with. Enough to have seen plenty of veteran-but-desk-bou...
