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: Again, that may not be something you'd consider important when judging a firm . But we've also been in the legal industry for over 20 years now and some firms can get way too involved in their own branding. Make sure to ask up front about both arrangements with any f...


5 Essex Court Chambers & Partners: We've never understood why so many law firms feel the need to share all the staff's hobbies and favourite foods. In the meantime, there is no shortage of praise amongst the legal community: class="infoquote "a genuinely unstuffy, open and informal chambers" ...


Aina Khan Solicitors: Aina Khan's site says something similar: class="infoquote "Aina Khan OBE Solicitor is a world-renowned family Law specialist. In fact, out of the 200+ review articles we've put out over the past 20+ years of working with law firms - we can safely say that Aina Khan's s...

Will Taborn Ltd: A warning about the growing concerns over the number of legal aid Barristers leaving the Bar. Otherwise all we would list for you are the large brand named multi-office firms - and that too is not always the best fit or even available in the more rural areas. Please note tha...


Allsop Durn Dearlove: Whilst it would obviously be impossible for us to come up with enough legal matters to truly test every firm we review - we certainly do our background checks and quite often get to know people at a firm before having them on board. You're able to look up case ranges, any ot...


Apprise Legal Services: fully explained in easy to understand terms the various options available. 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 a...


Assured Probate Services: They should have the APS Legal logo on their website though and you can always check with the main office as to whether the consultant using that website is actually a qualified advisor on their books. The main website is www.aps-legal.com and www.aps-legal.co.uk will...


Autologistic Solutions Limited: We could imagine people carrying around insurance, breakdown firm, and accident management cards in their wallet or purse. ALS states quite a few times across their site about your right to have a like for like replacement vehicle. Quite often we get contacted by firms askin...


Avery & Walters Ltd: Another has been responded to saying no such person has ever been a client at their firm to begin with. For example, a firm with five solicitors each with only a couple of years' experience may state on their front page 'over a decade of experience in X law!' . Some people ...


AWH Legal Ltd: class="infoquote "We understand that the legal process can be daunting and the associated costs hard to keep track of, so we offer a clear price guarantee."< div> Luckily the old days of heavy hourly rates and surprise bills at the end of a case are pretty much g...


Briffa Intellectual Property Solicitors: I skimmed through about a dozen and didn't see a single bit of sales-pitchery thrown it. But as it's likely you'll be dealing with payments and sensitive documents - it might be an idea to bookmark the site to ensure you always come back to the correct place.. We're always l...


CFG Law: We will help to arrange housing modifications and adaptations or find appropriate alternative accommodation to aid discharge home and ongoing requirements."< div> Having the funds to take care of yourself properly right from the get-go has absolutely no downsides that ...


CSL Law Croydon: Certainly we get repeat visitors coming back to search for their contact details. This month, we noticed that when putting CSL Law into a search engine, Google brought back a mountain of irrelevant information . Certainly there are plenty of places for such people to air th...


Driscoll Kingston Solicitors: When you've finished scrunching up your eyebrows and narrowing your eyes at that last statement - let me explain. For example when we see that their website states 'established in 2011' but every company check website says they started in 2018 - we want to know why. It...


Hammond Trotter Solicitors Ltd: When it comes to motoring offences, people usually want a specialist hoping they'll know a simple loophole or trick to 'get them off'. So if the website you're on talks (or even brags) about such situations as their main selling point - then in our experience that usually in...


Fieldfisher Solicitors LLP: A very encouraging mix of experience alongside new blood eager to prove themselves. One thing most people agree on is that seeing 'established in 1881' or some such ancient date proudly stamped across a firm's website - no longer provides much sway. Establishment is s...


Frank Rogers Motoring Solicitor: It's a common misconception that general practice firms are always less able to handle a certain case type compared to a specialist. Of course if you see a very small law practice or even a sole practitioner stating they cover a simply massive range of cases - it's reasonab...


GloverPriest Solicitors Ltd: But still, it's an indication of a firm that puts communication and keeping people in the loop as a priority . A note on navigation as we're dealing with property matters. For more details on the plague of conveyancing scams, just search for "lost my house deposit to s...


HH Law Ltd: So for security's sake it's probably a good idea to bookmark the correct site once you're on it . We tried a few on Google and the majority of the time the correct firm showed up but none of the domain varients we tried did. Having spent more than a year 'face down on the ...


Helix Law Solicitors: I had an urgent matter that I needed advise on and Phoebe was a great help. Even on search engines you may find one word extra or wrong will bring up quite different results. A quality, carefully presented FAQs section for example is sadly a rarity. We actually ended up read...


Hodge Jones and Allen Solicitors: 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. The official address is www.hja.net as detailed above. At the time of writing there were 162 on TrustPilot, 81 on Reviews, ...


Hutcheon Law Solicitors: On top of that there are hundreds of third party firms that will 'manage' your case. Beware of law practices touting ancient founding dates. However a lot of people are under the impression that 'no win, no fee' and '100% compensation' mean the same thing. They don't. ...


Ian Mallon Solicitors Ltd: class="infoquote "The practice offers a highly personalised relationship, working closely with our clients to resolve the often complex range of legal challenges that can face individuals and companies."< div> So how are the firm being rated by previous clients? ...


IWC Estate Planning & Management Ltd: Titles such as "Writing the Ideal Will", "Can you Refuse to be an Executor", or "What Happens if you Don't Apply for Probate". to try and balance the negative reviews people were posting about them. Even if someone calls you to confirm bank details, don't feel embarrassed ab...


Jarmans Solicitors Sittingbourne: No website came up for most we tried either. Unfortunately most solicitors are fond of vague and adjective-filled praise devoid of any useful information. Not to mention Skype Facetime consultations where physical appointments are not possible. Some have quite credible crede...


Joanna Connolly Solicitor Advocates: That last one is quite important. Make sure to ask and discuss in depth how and when the solicitor taking your case expects to get paid. If you are experiencing debt problems and being threatened with possible court action Joanna Connolly Solicitors naturally advise you...


Kudos Legal Solicitors: For the Glasgow office you can check The Law Society of Scotland. The only issue when looking such things up is that there doesn't seem to be a clear separation between their Preston and Glasgow offices. At 1to1Legal we do our best to provide a good mix of firms for people...


Lawcommercial Trading Ltd: Usually when we write an article on a firm that handles conveyancing, people are often confused to see us promoting and praising a firm that may have hundreds of complaining reviews. Even so, we would still recommend bookmarking the correct website once you're on it ...


Leech and Co Solicitors Ltd: That's just when they became a limited company. Google's lazy approach to spelling is also a problem because it could hinder you finding reviews online about the correct firm . There are some error addresses that the firm own and which redirect you to the correct site such ...


Linkilaw Solicitors Ltd in London: So what does the firm's site say about their goals going forward? class="infoquote "Bridging the gap between business and law, we advise anyone from start-ups through to established entrepreneurs."< div> With the ever increasing amount of free articles, document t...


AJLO Solicitors: These each typically have their own individual website and sometimes branding - e.g. We would therefore recommend bookmarking the site rather than trying to search for it later. We're not fans of companies that fill their profiles with everyone's favourite foods, colours, ho...


MTA Solicitors LLP: As you'll see, one of the solicitors at the firm called Michael Taylor has been a qualified solicitor since 1983 . It's a hugely helpful resource. Usually around 25%. class="infoquote "Local, friendly, experts. class="infoquote "At MTA Solicitors, customer servi...


NV Legal Solicitors: It absolutely is possible for a firm to be a specialist in this area in the same way a Family Law specialist will be expert in both Divorce and Child Support matters. There are two frequently used catchphrases when it comes to Personal Injury matters. A very basic example,...


OJ Solicitors Glasgow: So having plenty of independent reviews to go through is always helpful. On top of that, both solicitors at the firm are qualified to represent you internationally for cases here or in Romania. Not just for the legal industry either. OJ Solicitors is a good exam...


Penn Chambers Ltd: Just the fact they kick it off with "We know it is boring, but we have to do it" really matched our own sensibilities. Not just for the legal industry either. One thing that made us feel a certain kinship with this particular law firm was their T&Cs section. Normally ...


Redwood Collections Ltd: One of the benefits of using a debt collection company such as Redwood over, say, a firm of solicitors - is usually savings in both time and cost . class="infoquote "An effective approach to debt collection"< div> The opening line on the firm's website does refle...


RSR Law Croydon: The offered service seems identical to that promised on the main site, but with extra clarifications regarding things such as home visits where needed, that they only cover England Wales, and so on. When choosing firms for us to recommend potential clients to, there is a che...


SBW Lawyers Ltd: But there are some statements which may say more than you think. is an Alternative Business Structure authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority"< div> There are three things in there but the one you may not have seen before or know much about is SB...


Serious Injury Law Solicitors: class="infoquote "These include your financial needs, mobility and rehabilitation considerations, specialist medical care, case management and emotional support."< div> In our experience, a huge number of personal injury firms out there do not have the expertise ...


SR Law Solicitors London: Naturally, the ones listed there are all incredibly positive and lengthy in their praise. Not only that, when it turned out the staff member couldn't actually help with the problem - they gave some helpful advice and passed them on to someone that might be able to deal wit...

DFA Law Solicitors: In any industry, not just for law. A last word from the DFA Law website which hopefully now sounds little more sincere after having checked through the extra bits and pieces above. The www.dfalaw.com site is for a completely different law firm and several other possible...


Johnsons Solicitors Nottingham: Whilst many of the firm's clients will be innocent and just good people caught in bad situations, they will have a huge amount of clients that are not nice people at all. Often clients were not told of the substitution. No, really. If you use our enquiry form on the right, y...


Thorpe Wilson Ltd: There is an injured party who needs to get compensation from a third party or a third party's insurer. But it's not the right name. when there is only one actual qualified solicitor at that firm to handle them all. For example, the phrase 'No Win, No Fee' only means that the...


TSABI Ltd Solicitors: This means that solicitors still choosing to work under Legal Aid typically get paid a lot less than for cases with regular private paying clients. The case was a success." "would always answer calls nomatter how many times we needed reassuring or didn't understand so...


Philip Nam White Collar Legal: APR on finance and sugar content in food). Enough to have seen plenty of veteran-but-desk-bound solicitors run rings round by younger legal professionals who practically live in the court room. What first appealed to us with White Collar Legal is probably the same thin...
