https://defanksolicitors.com: It's the person taking the case that's most important to you.

https://medicalaccidentgroup.co.uk: Everything from a one-person sole practitioner setups to multi-office practices with hundreds of staff.

https://horsleylaw.co.uk: So where can you regularly get useful information about lawyers and legal practices? For example today we're using Horsley Law: class="infoquote "A Law Firm With a Difference"< div> As they claim at the very top of their website. The snippets above are from te...


https://your.law: The official site for this firm has a less usual ending to being www.your.law and no other websites currently redirect you there. But the first thing we would recommend when searching for legal help is not to get taken in with marketing jargon. The firm has some testimonials...

https://evelake.co.uk: We've even seen people leave reviews on the other side's solicitors trying to badger then into hurrying up with something.

But how can a member of the public tell an experienced solicitor from a non-experience one? If a solicitor is registered with The Law Society of England & Wales you are...


https://heritageparkfamilylaw.com: On the face of it this will make most people imagine a good 30 plus years of experience. Also, be aware that Google has changed how you search for business displays and reviews. If your family law matter is unlikely to require an actual court action - then that doesn'...


https://mccarthy.ie: That's terrible and we'll explain more about why later. It didn't even link to the secure version of the firm's website either. That's tens of thousands of pounds at a time. But searches for variations of the firm's name on it's own will provide no local business information...


https://oakwoodsolicitors.co.uk: It doesn't help that so many law firms repeat the same sales pitches, use the same language and even seem to use the same stock photos. Especially the fact they offer direct contact details for each staff member as well. It's hard to know if a firm is friendly from their web...


https://acsl.org.uk: You can easily end up with a 1-year qualified solicitor from a 150-year-old firm. That's nearly a century of experience between them. If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 469101 a-c-s-l-ltd" check out the page< a> for any firm they will show you alternate t...

https://wymlegal.com: But 'leading' without stating what you are leading in or in what area - not so much. Either the length of time taken, delays that no-one will take the blame for, extra reports being ordered, and more. You can usually check this using websites such as The Law Society for that...


https://thomasandthomassolicitors.co.uk: Or 'founded in 1920' which makes the firm sound as though they have experience, but the solicitor you get could have qualified 6 months ago. So for a firm to have consistent 4+ star ratings in the real estate industry is unusual. So making sure you are on the correct sit...


https://wolflaw.co.uk: If one firm says they will charge a 'success fee' of 25% while another says they will give you 100% of the compensation - there will be a temptation to go with the latter on that basis alone. This is usually as a percentage of any compensation recovered. Always take care whe...


https://murphysolicitors.co.uk: a results focused legal firm with clients across Northern Ireland."< div> Since all law firms seem to use language such as 'friendly', 'modern', or 'experienced' in their websites it sort of devalues the claim.

https://harrisonssolicitors.com: That's a solid foundation. People have handed millions in mortgage deposits to fraudsters sometimes simply because they received an official-looking email stating the bank details of their solicitor had changed. If you look up the top conveyancing firms for the country then...


https://girlings: An excellent firm that fights hard for £10,000 with a 25% cut is better than a bad firm that quickly settles for £5,000 but takes nothing. They have the Lexcel quality assurance mark given by The Law Society, specific accreditation for Personal Injury and also C...


https://uvslaw.co.uk: Be careful of such wording on other sites. class="infoquote "We understand that the immigration process can be complex and confusing, which is why our experienced solicitors are dedicated to guiding you through every step of the way."< div> Typically when resear...


https://keesolicitors.co.uk: This is more important for clients hiring lawyers that deal with property matters than family law clients really. Their front page was a little more cluttered than we'd usually find on solicitors' websites. But in the variants we tried the correct firm came up i...


https://waterstoneps.com: It's not as if 'no site' means the company has shut down for a while. This includes any alternative trading names, contact details, areas of law covered, languages spoken and so on. But we can't stress enough the importance of reading actual comments and not just re...


https://mark-croft-solicitor.co.uk: Another is the more useless of claims (in our opinion) such as 'established in 1881'.

https://emdlaw.co.uk: That of a sizeable, high street office with experienced professionals - but not in the old style of solicitors some of us might remember from the pre-2000s.

https://lyonslaw.co.uk: The age of the logo is not important. Sometimes simply because they received an official-looking email telling them the bank details had changed.

https://cullimoredutton.co.uk: So it's not as dramatic as on first glance. 8 staff with 5 years' experience = 40 years.
