Finding the Right Help in the UK
Will Taborn Ltd: Unfortunately, despite the firm having been running for some years now - there weren't any public reviews we could find on the regular review boards. Just watch out for adverts Google slips in at the top as they allow advertisers to stuff matching keywords in sometim...

Frank Rogers Motoring Solicitor: There is a Law Society website for each area. But how do you find out more information about a firm if it's your first time ever coming across them? If you're feeling bold, just ask - even if it's just a quick email. We saw that www.frankrogers.co.uk is a different firm deal...
OJ Solicitors Glasgow: 100% compensation promises mean that if you win, the law firm will not take a cut of your compensation. However www.ojsolicitors.co.uk is owned by a different firm.

Kudos Legal Solicitors: (No, really.)
We guarantee you that there is no 200+ year old lawyer sat behind a desk with all the wisdom any legal professional could possibly have . For all we know, Glasgow are getting all the good reviews and Preston are simply average. Some sections kept flicking...
Serious Injury Law Solicitors: Please note that www.seriousinjurylaw.com is a completely different firm and currently www.seriouslaw.com shows nothing at all.

5 Essex Court Chambers & Partners: However with 5 Essex Court there seems to be a wealth of information, articles and reviews available right from the outset. This may be partly because you really do deal one-on-one with the barrister rather than with the firm as a whole.

GloverPriest Solicitors Ltd: on the ball the entire time, no stone left unturned. We've gone in depth on this issue in other articles (site search box below) however in short - Conveyance firms will always have far more negative reviews than firms in other areas of law.

My 33 Legal Limited:
Unfortunately when it comes to legal matters, people are not as motivated to leave reviews compared to their local Chinese Take-Away or the online Trampolines-R-Us type firms. So the fact 33Legal don't just handle these but actively push to get such cases - says so...
Hammond Trotter Solicitors Ltd: However, if it's something more serious and your whole life could change without the ability to drive yourself around - then the cost is less of a factor.

Briffa Intellectual Property Solicitors: Most people won't bother clicking the 'Blog' link on commercial websites because typically that's exactly what they are - i.e. (I really don't care what my solicitor's hobbies, pets or favourite colour are. Do you?) Briffa's staff profiles are actually quite revealing as to ...
Helix Law Solicitors: The majority of Helix Law's positive reviews are from people that have reviewed a wide range of firms indicating they are most likely genuine. Solicitors second. It's as if a website can't be considered 'official' unless you have a bunch of articles no-one ever reads. Some...
Leech and Co Solicitors Ltd: I genuinely spoke to a solicitor a few years back who called the internet a 'fad' which probably wouldn't last much longer.

Hodge Jones and Allen Solicitors: I will point out that altruism is often more easily afforded by well established firms with a solid income.

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. There's not much they can do about that now.
That brings us to navigation. That's not unusual for Google, but in this instance it ...
RSR Law Croydon: Contest. Sometimes however, we run into a firm during the course of our day-to-day dealings that simply piques our interest. They also promote and back events programs relating to their chosen fields, such as as the No Time to Lose campaign from the IOSH (Institution of Occu...
Johnsons Solicitors Nottingham: It's not uncommon for smaller firms to take all of your information, hire a third party barrister, but you only get to meet that barrister for the first time on the day of your trial.

Philip Nam White Collar Legal:
The owner's profile isn't full of hobbies, favourite books, or pet's names either. Okay, so the following is not my most objective or impartial review of a firm. Of course such rules usually don't work out as you'd expect - (e.g. We also found the firm listed on Bus...

EHL Solicitors UK: They'll be the ones with lots to say ... Rather than continue with standard boring paragraphs like we do here in our reviews - they use lists. If you do peruse the firm's website, there is an abundance of information. and yes, I'm seeing the irony being tapped out in front ...
