https://disrepairclaim.co.uk: If a firm is regulated properly then they will state so along with their number on their website.

https://simperlaw.com: Last year we ran a poll asking people whether they paid attention to testimonials on company websites and only 8% of you said you did.

https://michaelleightonjones.com: Others include Peter FitzGerald who joined the UK legal system in 1996, right up to Sarah Price in 2003. A 200 year old firm could still stick you with a 1-year qualified lawyer. So if there are very few or even zero reviews for a firm - that shouldn't be taken as a negative...


https://milnerslaw.com: A good mix of wise old heads alongside fresh young legs. So how do the independent forums look? class="infoquote "Professional, supportive and very responsive" "have the kind of tenacity you want from a law firm" "offered thorough, honest advice and was so...


https://krsep.co.uk: There's obviously a massive range of variants people could attempt such as www.krs.co.uk or www.krsestateplanning.co.uk so we would recommend bookmarking the site just to be sure. But when it comes to Estate Planning there are some things to watch out for. I aim to offer h...

https://branchaustinmccormick.com: That's just ... Branch Austin McCormick has a wide range of experience amongst their staff with solicitors who started their careers in all five of the last decades. No, really. But we'll come back to whether Branch Austin McCormick fit this description later. However a...


https://trojansolicitors.com: That's not to say there weren't things we weren't so keen on. Whilst I don't think the public are naive enough to think there are 200 year old solicitors working within these law offices - it can push forward the idea that such a firm has more experience than a newer fi...


https://celsolicitors.co.uk: To be fair, it's not as if a company can claim to be the opposite and still sound good - i.e. But no-one's perfect. class="infoquote "We operate 99% paper free, unless the court or our clients request physical letters. The official site we link to above is www.cels...


https://fultons-scotland.co.uk: class="infoquote "With our estate agency and property conveyancing teams under one roof, we offer a seamless transition from initial valuation and marketing through negotiation and conclusion of the contract to the conveyancing and settlement of the sale or purchase."...


https://hooperhyde.com: But others may state something like 'over ten years of experience within the firm' - which could mean five staff members with just two years experience each. Sadly, some businesses use marketing jargon to try and cover up when they don't have a good deal of experience. But ...


https://antonyhodari.co.uk: But we didn't find out the spark that created Antony Hodari. But the name is so unique that if you type 'anthony hodari' into a search the correct firm still pops up. They even provide the qualification dates of any solicitors working at the firm which helps to highlight w...


https://fair-result.co.uk: Clients receive emails stating that the bank details for their deposit have changed and they apparently go ahead and send tens of thousands of pounds to those bank accounts without even checking with their solicitor first. Having worked in the legal industry for well ov...


https://dylannair.com: Often by simply emailing to tell say the bank details for their deposit have changed. On this occasion the fact this firm is offering considerable free time for non-litigation matters is the point of note. John Houghton at this firm qualified in 1975, Rajesh Nai...


https://mckielegal.co.uk: We're not sure about the Wigan office the law society is still showing, but www.mckielegal.co.uk is the official website which we link to above with www.mckielegal.com not currently being owned by anyone and most of the variants (e.g. But to be honest, in the legal industry ...


https://www.jacobslaw.org: So it may be an idea to bookmark the correct site once you're on it. If we did need that much legal help so often, then there would be something so seriously wrong with us that you shouldn't listen to a work we say anyway. That's unusual though because the majority of Conv...


https://argueandco.co.uk: class="infoquote "... Even zero reviews is not a bad sign. (And I'm missing a couple of those.) It's just that unlike reviewing the food or service at a restaurant - people are not nearly as quick to share their experience of being defended in criminal court, a mess...


https://springleandco.co.uk: class="infoquote "The law is complex but we explain everything in plain English."< div> Life is complicated and so is death it seems. This allows you some insight into whether a firm at least has some genuine experience in that area of law. Either national or lo...

https://www.pacificlaw.co.uk: We've been working with law firms for over twenty years now and some have confided that many negative reviews on their pages have been from people they beat in a case.

We've also seen anti-capitalist rants copy pasted across a dozen legal professional's review sections. Luckily Stenfield are members of ...


https://khanlaw.co.uk: The majority have the same sort of sales language, the same images of people shaking hands happily, and the same boasts. A firm can be a specialist by targeting just single area of law. class="infoquote "Raees ... But most tend not to be as picky about things li...


https://www.dvsolicitors.com: 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 "Our top-notch legal services are not limited to UK residents, but we are also delivering superior legal affair ser...

So whilst it's easy to find the confirmation of expertise and experie...


https://www.trustinheritance.com: Be warned though that you really need to read the comments and not just rely on star ratings. For example Gillian Grinyer having qualified in 1980, Ekta Porter qualifying in 2010, right up to incredibly newbie Abraam Azir qualifying in 2021. There is a whole section https: ...


https://bilkusandboyle.com: we are proud to serve the community and clients all over Scotland, UK and abroad"< div> These days there are dozens of review forums online such as Google Reviews, Yelp, Trustpilot, Yell, etc. (Yes, it's that comparable.) So a firm still willing to work with people who ...


https://www.catteralls.co.uk: No seriously. Potential clients tend to rely more on the independent public offerings such as Google Reviews, Trustpilot, Yell, Yelp etc. We're not a fan of is this idea of ancient establishment dates because it can so easily be misleading. They stated as such on their about...


https://penerley.co.uk: The Law Society of England & Wales has a great user-side display of information and the majority of legal professionals will register with their national, county and sometimes even city law society.

https://educationlawservice.com: In the past this usually only applied to cases that would be run on a no win, no fee basis anyway such as Personal Injury matters. But if you make sure to have the 'Ltd' part at the end of the name when searching, you should get the correct firm to pop up. But since Legal Ai...


https://www.pumpcourtchambers.com: you'll see that many of the reviews are about specific individuals rather than a whole firm. Pump Court Chambers don't handle property matters, but you never know what scammers will come up with next. It doesn't matter to them. Even if someone phones you up asking about mone...


https://www.masonbullock.co.uk: The official site is www.masonbullock.co.uk with www.masonbullock.com not currently being owned by the firm. This can be compared to a Will and how it is worded and the way the finances are passed on in order to ensure your family receive it rather than the bulk going to the...


https://www.calioclaims.co.uk: A couple of years ago we ran a poll and (as we actually expected from our own experience) the huge majority of people didn't trust testimonials on company websites. The firm uses the singular name of 'Lindsays' (not Lindsay's) in all it's branding and it's official website...


https://aspirelicensing.co.uk: However even then there are options such as hiring a barrister through the new Direct Access scheme instead of going through a solicitor. In fact, an experienced accountant could cost much less yet be far more effective . Certainly we can't think of one that's more niche of...


https://www.otssolicitors.co.uk: class="infoquote "our team of solicitors are described as 'professional' and 'extremely knowledgeable'"< div> In every area of the UK there are various Law Societies which legal professionals can sign up to.

https://www.theinjurysolicitor.com: But several things stood out to us which we thought we would share. (Generally known as 'resellers'.)

https://will-trusts-probate.co.uk: If you've read a few of our other articles, you'll know there is usually something unique or alternative about the firms we choose to review.

https://linkilawsolicitors.com: They obtain the relevant phone email contact details then contact the buyer seller pretending to be from the solicitors office and tell them new bank details to pay any deposits into. Never discuss your bank details with someone that calls you up. Chances are most review sit...


https://www.nvlegal.co.uk: You can end up having someone's secretary as your only point of contact. Certainly that last comment is very impressive. Usually people expect the term specialist to apply to firms that deal with more niche titles such as Wills or Motor Offenses. class="infoquot...


https://www.sr-law.co.uk: We will consider fixed fees and for legal dispute work No Win No Fee (or partial no win no fee) arrangements in appropriate situations."< div> Thankfully it's becoming increasingly common for firms to be more open about their fees up front.

https://www.dfalaw.co.uk: Titles such as "The end of ‘furlough’ – what now?", "Employment Tribunal fees abolished with immediate effect" and "Commercial Property – Changes to the Use Classes Order" are just that extra flourish we think shows mindfulness towards their industry and consumers as a...


https://www.ianmallon.com: Some are certainly more interesting than others. Over the past few years having staff profiles on the company website has become more common. We didn't find any review separation between the Newry and Dublin offices. class="infoquote "All individual email addresses for...


https://tsabi.law: The official site we link to above is www.tsabi.law but www.tsabi.co.uk is owned by someone else and their old branding at www.asgharandco.com is still currently live. Whilst you may think Legal Aid is something like the NHS (i.e. available to all, just slower) over the past...


https://www.thorpewilson.co.uk: Obviously with the dozens of firms we review on this site, it's impossible for us to come up with dozens of legal matters to test them with as a consumer. We've seen hundreds of errors over the years with people posting negative reviews that are clearly about a completely di...


https://allsopdurnllp.co.uk: They list standard rates and some examples based on various case types. Is that uncommon? Yes. Godfrey Newman qualified in 1979, David Durn in 1999, right up to Tracy Murgatroyd in 2014. We geniunely, 100%, not-making-it-up had a solicitor at one firm say to us "The Internet...
