https://davidstinson.co.uk: Written like that, it doesn't look nearly as impressive. At the moment most scams https: www.theguardian.com money 2019 aug 24 the-45000-deposit-for-our-first-home-was-stolen-and-the-banks-did-nothing" target clients engaged in a house sale< a>.

https://beersllp.com: That is not the case. The reason you need to be aware of potential issues is because there are lot of scams going around just now targeting case types where clients have to pay large lump sums - such as property matters. If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 46...


https://disrepairclaim.co.uk: So it's probably a good idea to bookmark the correct site once you're on it to be sure you come back to the correct one. 'No win, no fee' and '100% compensation' are two very different offers. To sum up, working with a CMC is an aberration for us but we wouldn't do...

https://taylorprice.co.uk: But there are still plenty of lawyers charging fees right from the start for other case types. . Such as needing to watch out for people who simply can't search properly. that handles nothing by those case types in the hope this gives them the best chance (i.e. A firm we've...


https://michaelleightonjones.com: For some reason, those clients go right ahead and send tens of thousands of pounds to the fraudsters without checking with the solicitor if that email was genuine. The official website is the full www.michaelleightonjones.com but at the moment the full site also pops up on w...


https://milnerslaw.com: If they sound a little different or slightly more zealous than the reviews you typically see on third party boards such a Google, Trustpilot, Yell.com or Yelp - we'd agree, but that's actually very common. Variants such as www.milnerssolicitors.com or .co.uk also are not rel...


https://krsep.co.uk: The official site which we link to above is www.krsep.co.uk with www.krsep.com not redirecting there. In the quote above the amount of experience is being attached to the actual person you will be dealing with - i.e. So since the owner of this firm states a solicitor backg...


https://branchaustinmccormick.com: No, really. Firms that handle a single case type call themselves 'specialists' giving the impression that firms handling a wider range of matters are not so.

https://trojansolicitors.com: That's not to say there weren't things we weren't so keen on. So when you see very few or even zero reviews for a law practice - that's not a negative sign.

https://fultons-scotland.co.uk: Of course many firms post testimonials themselves on their site. For example in the case of the firm we're writing about today ( Fulton's Solicitors & Estate Agents ) we couldn't find a dedicated page on the Law Society of Scotland's website. If a firm says 'we've been helpi...


https://hooperhyde.com: A quick note on navigation. But it can sometimes be difficult to get the information due to many firms using trading names. Sometimes you don't need a local firm. There are national, county, city, and even case specific societies which legal professionals can join. So ...

https://fair-result.co.uk: It's one of the few commercial sectors left where they believe an ancient founding date should give them some sort of boost in the minds of potential clients. class="infoquote "Within 2 weeks of appointment – we will assess the 'Marital Pot' and share the results of ou...

https://mckielegal.co.uk: Since the huge shake up to legal aid in the 90s, solicitors now mostly offer to run claims cases for free. The use of trading names is not something to worry about . It's also far more common to get misleading reviews about solicitors because a lot of times any case w...

https://blzsolicitors.co.uk: So if they take a few shortcuts in the marketing department - that's perfectly fine. www.blzsolicitors.co.uk is the official site we link to above and currently www.blzsolicitors.com doesn't seem to be owned by anyone. A switch of sides from a solicitor is not something...


https://www.hawklaw.co.uk: Very often a bunch of the negative reviews will be from the client of the other party. But frankly, no law firm is going to advertise themselves as the opposite of these things. Sometimes over something as simple as a couple of offical looking emails telling them to pay thei...


https://www.pacificlaw.co.uk: This is because whilst people are very happy to jump online and give praise about their new toaster - they are less likely to rush to a public forum to discuss how their recent divorce, will writing, criminal defence, or bankruptcy went.

https://khanlaw.co.uk: However we believe that should never be a dealbreaker. In fact the number of firms claiming to be 'award-winning' seems to far exceed the number of awards we could think possible. Usually that's because they have individual solicitors within the firm that handle specific c...

At the time of writing there were actually no reviews available on the regular sites such as ...


https://www.trustinheritance.com: A quick note on navigation as the firm uses two quite generic words in the branding - i.e. Clearly some mix up with company names in the area. But after checking up on the credentials of a firm and looking up whether the 'award-winning service' they tout has actually w...


https://bilkusandboyle.com: We always commend The Law Society of England & Wales for their excellent website providing a wealth of user-side data to potential clients.

https://www.searchbureau.co.uk: All other variants we tried such as www.searchbureau.com and www.thesearchbureau.com were owned by different firms.

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.

https://www.pumpcourtchambers.com: We trawl through dozens of law firm's websites every day. However to be qualified to handle such, the barrister you speak to should absolutely be capable of informing you quite early on if your case can be handled under those terms before you part with a single penny. So how...


https://www.masonbullock.co.uk: It's not just a side project either with the firm stating very clearly that it specialises in just three areas - CCJ removal, employment law, and it's related settlement agreements.

https://www.calioclaims.co.uk: Whenever we consider a firm for adding to our network there are several checks we perform to ensure we're not recommending a fraudulent or fake firm. So is this positivity reflected on the third party forums as well? class="infoquote "extremely responsive, hig...


https://aspirelicensing.co.uk: Obviously, never discuss such payments via email or even with someone that calls you up.
