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: The issues are very personal so it typically doesn't occur to people to leave comments in the same way unless actually asked to do so by the solicitor. I hope it helped at least. So the fact 33 Legal (or any law firm for that matter) has only a handful or even zero reviews a...
5 Essex Court Chambers & Partners: You would take your case to a solicitor, they would run it, and they would hire a barrister to represent you. However it's not uncommon for random adverts to appear under this or related keywords. But many people might not be aware of some of the other benefits that come fro...
Aina Khan Solicitors: class="infoquote "It is amazing that you were able to advise on my complex Surrogacy case while I was working abroad" "My husband thought he could dismiss me with nothing after our divorce. It may have nothing to do with their actual legal expertise. We assume thi...
Will Taborn Ltd: Just watch out for adverts Google slips in at the top as they allow advertisers to stuff matching keywords in sometimes.
You'll have noticed that we are very selective about the firms we add to our database. Taborns went above and beyond to understand our requirements...
Allsop Durn Dearlove: However after so many years of flicking through such sites, we've noticed quite a few distinctions the less regular browser may not. As the firm has decided to use two surnames for their firm title - you're unlikely to get it mixed up with others. We're sad to say that our...
Apprise Legal Services:
class="infoquote "We offer a friendly, comprehensive service that specialises in all areas of Will writing, Trusts and Estate Planning."< div>
There are areas of law where specialists are always recommended such as Criminal Law and Divorce. So how can you tell th...
Assured Probate Services: Once you have the name of the law firm you can use the various resource we already recommend such as searching the relevant Law Society's website for background and qualification details. Of course, the positive reviews continue across the third party review sites such as Go...
Autologistic Solutions Limited: Again you may want to call your currently provider and check if you have to be a certain distance from your home or if there is an extra fee relating to accident recovery. Hopefully that last little snippet from the Auto Logistic's website demonstrates how we came to the co...
Avery & Walters Ltd: Just something to be mindful of when choosing a firm. (The latter being the actual registered parent name of the firm.) The Harrogate office is trading as Powell Eddison Solicitors.
Avery Walters Solicitors states having two offices and the one in Leeds certainly bears ...
AWH Legal Ltd: But we've been working with law firms for over 20 years now and can confidently say that any official Lexcel, Law Society or Legal 500 stamp of approval is a good sign . If you click on each person's name you can also see their qualification date and specialist areas. These...
Briffa Intellectual Property Solicitors:
Joshua Schuermann is from Paris and was a professional musician and production assistant before becoming a solicitor, moving to London, and studying Media and Entertainment Law. One look at Briffa's website though with the large text, bright pinks, yellows, and flower im...
CFG Law:
So, does that philosophical or sociological disagreement give me pause in recommending the firm? Absolutely not. Luckily the letters stand for Client First Group rather than a solicitor's name. Again, bias may come into play but I've been injured twice by negligence i...
CSL Law Croydon: Other public pages such as their Twitter feed are kept fresh with a good mix of self promotion, retweets, and links to relevant articles. We link to the official www.csllaw.co.uk above and there is no current website at www.csllaw.com or other tlds. There are similarly nam...
Driscoll Kingston Solicitors: The majority of solicitor's websites you'll visit today will say they understand the stress and care for their clients. It's all in the wording. You can't get '&' characters in web addresses anyway. The main website address www.driscollkingston.co.uk is linked to above and w...
Hammond Trotter Solicitors Ltd:
A few points on navigation. However, they state a success rate of 87% and I'm sure you've seen several firms stating successes in the 90-100% range. Obviously with the double 'm' and double 't' there are possibilities of tired keyboard slips and misspellings so we w...
Fieldfisher Solicitors LLP: There are various such organisations but this one has the best website in our opinion due to the scope and reliability of the data they provide user-side. A very encouraging mix of experience alongside new blood eager to prove themselves. No win no fee just means that if...
Frank Rogers Motoring Solicitor: So what are they saying about the firm?
class="infoquote "honest, straight to the point and put me at ease"
"I was looking at prison time for a traffic offence and in the end got a community order"
"successful in appealing my guilty charge, and I thankfully didn't ...
GloverPriest Solicitors Ltd: So seeing direct contact details for solicitors on the Glover Priest's site and text about solicitors dealing with matters from start to finish - is encouraging .
On the subject of reviews, you may find it a bit more difficult than usual to flick through third party re...
HH Law Ltd: Whilst mostly conveyancing firms get targetted by scammers, you never know what's around the corner.. My case was handled professionally, with quick responses and constant updates at every stage of my case"
"My solicitor was always happy to explain what was happening an...
Helix Law Solicitors: Please note, the spelling and typo errors are copy pasted directly:
class="infoquote "Helix Law are ha ppy to go the extra mile, provide accurate advice and layout all options clearly for a layman to understand. I spoke to Laura Albon who helped talk through my situati...
Hodge Jones and Allen Solicitors:
On the subject of their website, we should make a quick note about navigation.
We'll leave you with the obligatory final quote.
For example, solicitors typically don't get a lot of online reviews in the same way local shops or online service providers get. ...
Hutcheon Law Solicitors: Clear communication and speedy work seem to be the most talked about. Not just the legal industry either - in general. For example, if you've been injured in a car accident resulting in whiplash that gave you pain for a couple of weeks - it's not as if one firm might get yo...
Ian Mallon Solicitors Ltd: We didn't find any review separation between the Newry and Dublin offices.
Ian Mallon's website also has a Polish translated section showing an interest in their local population. Over the past few years having staff profiles on the company website has become more co...
IWC Estate Planning & Management Ltd: From regular wills and probate, to funeral plans, genealogy searches, power of attorney, contesting a will, and more. We'll be expanding on 'why' in a later article.
class="infoquote "Our Will writing and probate staff are fully qualified probate practitioners who hold...
Jarmans Solicitors Sittingbourne: However, most of the testimonials Jarmans have displayed are quite in-depth:
class="infoquote • "We should like to thank you and all Jarman's staff ... (That's a generalised example, not specific to Jarmans.)
We also personally put more faith in reviewers w...
Joanna Connolly Solicitor Advocates: For consumer credit disputes, they also list themselves as consumer credit specialists, helping consumers when court proceedings are either being threatened or already issued.
Joanna Connolly (LLB Hons) herself, is a Solicitor Advocate - qualified to represent clients ...
Kudos Legal Solicitors: A 40-year-old law firm could assign you to a 1-year-experienced solicitor.
Kudos Legal is the type of firm we've recently trying to get on to the network though as they are essentially an 'international' law firm - being able to represent clients in both Scotland and ...
Lawcommercial Trading Ltd:
Lawcomm should also get a couple of thumbs up for having a proper Blog section. Another stated how they had been serving the local community for over a hundred years simply because they bought the building from a longer established firm. (Yes, really.)
You can al...
Leech and Co Solicitors Ltd: It would be a shame if public perception continues that way because there is no real benefit in choosing a 100-year-old firm versus a 10-year-old firm simply based on the date they say they were founded.
class="infoquote "We are a small, independent, modern law firm,...
Linkilaw Solicitors Ltd in London: Never discuss your bank details with someone that calls you up. On this occasion the alternate www.linkilaw.co.uk does not link to the main site. But with a new branding setup, web address change, and expansion into more areas of corporate law - we thought it better to write...
AJLO Solicitors: But on the whole, firms that are comfortable displaying their team's experience, expertise and direct contact details are not just creating a more open and friendly dynamic with potential clients - but also confirming the capabilities of the firm as a whole. There's plenty o...
MTA Solicitors LLP: So even though injury claim clients don't seem to be being targeted in that way, it's still probably a good idea to bookmark the correct site we link to above . They ask us about car accidents we've never been in then hang up when we ask them to repeat their company details...
NV Legal Solicitors: That can only have positive implications for the final outcome of your case.
If you check https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 555160 nv-legal-limited" the page for this firm< a> you'll see their two main solicitors, Nicholas Davis and Victoria Davis, qualifie...
OJ Solicitors Glasgow: The Scottish version https: www.lawscot.org.uk find-a-solicitor ?Name=oj+solicitors&Postcode=&type=firm" only lists names and some contact details< a> within a search function. For example, if a firm does not actually state Medical Negligence as a case type they handle an...
Penn Chambers Ltd: Of course, finding them is the tricky part. Just the fact they kick it off with "We know it is boring, but we have to do it" really matched our own sensibilities. For all intents and purposes, long establishment claims are mainly a marketing ploy. Meaning customer engagemen...
Redwood Collections Ltd: I was very pleased with the outcome ..."< div>
Oddly the vast majority of the reviews are positive on Google, Yelp, Yellow Pages and others. Redwood Collections was created in 2009 and states it has helped over 17,000 clients so far. Some are only set up to send threate...
RSR Law Croydon: We saw a couple of articles recommending people remember "F.A.C.T.S!" In one instance it stood for "Family. this means you pay no upfront costs and we only get paid only if you win your case. Or as we normally do - state conclusions that could be drawn and why they probably ...
SBW Lawyers Ltd: It's not a perfect system on any of the review forums, so make sure you do your best to filter the useful from non-useful comments left by people. Either way though, such things really should be decided by the people on the receiving end of that friendliness - i.e. clients. ...
Serious Injury Law Solicitors: Typically if the firm's website does not have 'Serious Catastrophic Injuries' as a specific case title on the front page of their website along with at least one full page about their abilities and experience in that area - we would suggest moving on to the next firm. Plus o...
SR Law Solicitors London:
If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation people 594908 simons-rodkin-solicitors-llp?Solicitors=True" check out the page for this firm< a> for example, you'll be shown a wealth of information including alternative contact details, lists of all their off...
DFA Law Solicitors: always very approachable, both personal contact and by email"
"very courteous , explained everything thoroughly ..."
"... However the DFA Law news section has genuine articles intended to inform people about real matters. A really good mix of old, wiser heads run...
Johnsons Solicitors Nottingham: Both www.johnsonpartnership.co.uk and www.johnsonpartnership.com are owned by other people too so it's probably best to bookmark the site once you're on it to save time later. Whilst many of the firm's clients will be innocent and just good people caught in bad situations, t...
Thorpe Wilson Ltd: The official website is www.thorpewilson.co.uk which we link to above.
A quick note about navigation. This is usually through a Conditional Fee Arrangement (CFA) such as taking a 25% cut of your compensation. There are also links to each staff member to see their own ...
TSABI Ltd Solicitors:
However, on this occasion they have simply linked to the third party review site Trustpilot and are showing the public reviews from there. In fact we saw at least two pages worth of examples of case types and associated fees declared up front for people to check out be...
Philip Nam White Collar Legal: They certainly have all the expected social profiles, but they are mentioned peripherally around the website. It's "more than" the Citizen's Advice Bureau. I've done a fair bit of court work myself on both sides and behind the scenes. Is there enough history and information...
