Bellax Solicitors: Bell Lax don't do this, which is probably just as well because in our poll last year only 8% of you said you trusted company-provided testimonials. These days however there is a third kind of firm. There were several other things about Bell Lax Solicitors we saw as pos...
JPS Walker Solicitors: That's because whilst people are more than happy to jump online and let people know about their lovely waitress or great local car wash - they are far less likely to rush onto the internet and broadcast about their messy divorce, bankruptcy, or life-destroying accident. ...
The Legal Practice Solicitors: People https: www.express.co.uk finance personalfinance 1497866 Lloyds-bank-scam-warning-fraud-money-box-uk" have handed tens of thousands of pounds of their savings< a> over to these fraudsters bank accounts. Sometimes simply because they received an official-looking ema...
Young & Co Solicitors: Most importantly, it does not pay out an up to date payment rate for solicitors. But even variants such www.youngandco.co.uk are owned by different firms. So what key points stood out about the Young's setup?
class="infoquote "Our team consists of The Law Society accre...
Lefevres Scotland Ltd: (Yes, it's THAT bad.) So if you see a firm saying they handle cases under Legal Aid - that can really be an indication of some genuine underlying care about people and the law . There is another website at www.lefevre-litigation.co.uk which seems to be an individual site fo...
David Stinson & Co Solicitors: 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>. It contains what we would call 'Case Studies' where brief explanations are made abo...
Cook's Solicitors: On the whole they are very positive but there were some negative comments as well. She is very good at clearing jams in the conveyancing process."< div>
We couldn't find a staff profile section on the Cooks Solicitors website at the time of writing. Not their own clie...
Swain and Co Solicitors:
class="infoquote "We provide a number of payment options: No Win No Fee, Legal Aid, Monthly payments, Fixed fee payment and other options."< div>
Law firms tend to focus on writing lots of good sales pitch statements on their website. If you want more specific inf...
Fentimans My Law Matters: It's certainly something to bear in mind. (No, really.)
Whilst there is a negative comment about this firm on https: www.google.com search?q=my+law+matters&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB926GB926&oq=My+Law+Matters&aqs=chrome.0.0i512j46i175i199i512l2j0i512j46i175i199i512j0i512j69i...
Frazer Coogans Solicitors: They provide alternate contact details, other trading names, languages spoking, qualification dates of all solicitors within the firm, and more. The most common typo we'd expect of www.frasercoogans.co.uk .com also does not seemed to be owned by the firm either. Watch out ...
Burton & Co Quality Solicitors:
class="infoquote "We combine the service you expect from a national brand with the local knowledge you need from our experienced legal team."< div>
They actually have solicitors at the firm who joined the legal profession in nearly all of the past six decades. Jo...
One Law Solicitors & Barristers:
Personally, we think people leaving negative reviews for those reasons completely undermines the whole goal of review forums. A solicitor that helps you with your immigration application may still have to hire a barrister when it comes to fighting the matter further. ...
Beers Solicitors LLP: Unlike hairdressers or restaurants, law firms can end up with negative reviews from the side they beat in a case. The official website we link to above is www.beersllp.com but www.beersllp.co.uk does not redirect you there. This is understandable because seeing any negative ...
Disrepair Claims UK: That means they do not have solicitors on staff but will take your details, discuss your case, then find a solicitor from their own panel of firms to process the matter on your behalf. 'No win, no fee' and '100% compensation' are two very different offers.
Disrepair...
Simper Law: The firm name is Simper Law Ltd and most branding follows that style. But it goes without saying that you can end up with a 1-year-qualified, completely inexperienced solicitor from a 200-year-old law firm just the same as you could get a 40-year-guru lawyer from a 1-year-ol...
RM Solicitors: A 200-year-old firm might still stick you with a 1-year qualified lawyer. This is quite common for more difficult matters such as medical negligence. There are various ways to have the case paid for , but as far as we're concerned no injury claim firm should even take any m...
Ullah Law Associates: It would be wonderful if all company reviews could be like that as you can get a real sense of the positive negative themes of each firm that way. It has not kept up with the rise in regular inflation fees at all. The official name is ULA Solicitors Ltd and if you see any me...
Taylor Price Legal Ltd:
It's also true that reading the positive comments can be enlightening as well. For example, when most people are charged with a motoring offence they will immediately look for a 'specialist' firm . Watch out for firms that claim ancient establishment dates such as 'f...
Michael Leighton Jones Solicitors: However it would still be fair to call this firm a group of 'specialists' as well.
It's a good idea to read comments when it comes to legal service providers as well rather than just checking star ratings.
class="infoquote "As a firm, our experience and expertis...
Milners Law LLP: Add to that people messing with things like using Milner's instead and we think it's a good idea to bookmark the correct site or using a search instead when coming back. A good mix of wise old heads alongside fresh young legs. not trying to jack-of-all-trades things. We d...
KRS Wills & Probate: 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.
class="infoquote "As well as English, I can also offer advice in Gujarati and Hindi, b...
Branch Austin McCormick Solicitors: The majority of people search the third party review boards such as Google, Trustpilot, Yell.com, Yelp, etc. If you've read any of our other articles before, you'll know that we don't put a lot of stock in 'established in ...' ancient date claims by law firms. What we don't ...
Trojan Solicitors:
class="infoquote "We have expertise at all levels of immigration."< div>
Reading through the firm's website there are several statements like this along with clarifications about how well they are acquainted with the immigration system in the UK. Before that poi...
Cheshire Estates and Legal Ltd: So, claim absolutely verified. There were a few things that we thought crossed the line in trying to be modern though, such as describing their staff as "a pretty cool gang" and stating their Liverpool based office was "complete with neon sign and think-swing" . Today we...
Fultons Estate Agents: So if you see reviews relating to such, it's not an error by the reviewer. Even though it wasn't the law firm's decision to pull out of the deal. Despite not being overly 'nationalised' about most things, this is something we do feel a little frustrated at. Why is that impo...
Hooper Hyde Solicitors:
A quick note on navigation. Hooper Hyde state each lawyer has at least 10 years' experience. Sometimes you don't need a local firm. The only legal services we've seen consistent reviews on are conveyancing firms because people always have plenty to say about how their ...
Antony Hodari Legal Services: Just watch out for ads using keyword matching to display. To us that's a bit of a cheat.
As specialists go, this is an unusual one to find. We've also seen many disgruntled reviews over solicitors refusing to take someone's case. Antony Hodari's claims in the snippet a...
Fair Result Divorce: However if both sides simply want to get it over with and find the fairest way out - FairResult believe their services will save you considerable time and money. FairResult state that if you do decide to go ahead at that point a fixed fee will be agreed upon. It's one of the...
Dylan Nair Ltd Solicitors: No win, no fee just means that there will be no fees if your case loses. Although the branding name used is quite unique and the possible spelling typos not likely to be too multitudinous.
A quick note on navigation.
John Houghton at this firm qualified in 1975, ...
Mckie Legal Solicitors Ltd:
It's not unusual for solicitors to have one or two trading names on the side. But whether a solicitor charges a success fee or not shouldn't be the end-all of your decision to use them. It's just far less likely that someone will rush online to discuss how they feel abo...
Jacobs Law Solicitors: For example:
class="infoquote "Established in 2013, Jacobs Law Solicitors specialise in advising and supporting individuals, small companies and multi-nationals in the UK."< div>
This may seem like a standard opener on the Jacobs Law website, but to us it shows a...
Allan Argue and Co Solicitors: If this were a Family Fortunes game, the top answer as to why someone chose a firm would be ethusiasm. Normally there is just a few bits of basic inforation in some https: www.lawscot.org.uk find-a-solicitor ?Name=argue&Postcode=&type=firm" search results< a>. So when you...
Springle Solicitors: We have written on a wide range of multi-practice firms over the years. We don't push any one estate planning firm as being better than another for you, however we will certainly pushing the idea planning properly is important. Springle's reviews were all positive at the...
BLZ Solicitors Ltd: Their site is https secure though so entering your information on the contact form should be fine. Not spending hours re-writing their website content. If you look at the page for https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 6833 blz-limited" this firm< a> you'll see ther...
Hawkridge & Co Solicitors: For any legal matter there are often a range of options such as a general practice firm, a specialist provider, a direct access barrister, or even sometimes a non-law-firm solution such as for bankruptcy, wills, or debt collection. These kinds of things are not automatically...
Pacific Law: Don't just rely on star ratings. Being able to communicate through Whatsapp or other text services has been seen. Our technology takes care of the stuff in the background so our legal team can focus on what's important - you."< div>
Again this is something many firms cl...
ABS Lawyers Ltd:
For example legal matters such as a wills or debt recovery or bankruptcy don't always result in a solicitor as being your best first point of contact. So finding feedback from previous clients about how true these statements about quality customer service are, should ...
Stenfield Solicitors Ltd: We've also seen anti-capitalist rants copy pasted across a dozen legal professional's review sections.
It's very important these days to keep fully aware of what site you are on and the legitimacy of the emails you receive. Sometimes it has taken only a single email fro...
Khan Law Glasgow: For example, you don't get individual pages on firms or their solicitors. So, yes. So Khan Law clearly stating the actual award is therefore quite a rarity and should not be overlooked. However, please note that when checking reviews of any firm you absolutely must read th...
Deo Volente Legal:
For example they have solicitor Dorothy Turner with a qualifying date back in 1985. One last snippet from the firm's site:
class="infoquote "We are here to offer all the expertise and support you will need"< div>. With so many Pakistan citizens within the UK, mak...
Suhail Ahmad at Richmond Legal: The number of 'award-winning' law firms we've seen also defies all logic as to just how many awards there have to be out there for them all to have won so many. 'Jack of all trades, master of none' springs to mind.
A quick note on navigation though as when we tried sea...
Trust Inheritance Limited: However we hope the information and links provided above at least show why we were more than happy to add Trust Inheritance to our database of recommended firms. They can certainly help.
class="infoquote "As market leaders, we are passionate about the customer servi...
Bilkus and Boyle: The forty years Bilkus Boyle quote is therefore very reasonable and an understandable sort of figure. If you've already been through a dozen law firms' websites today searching for one to take your case, you'll probably have noticed the majority use the same types of sales...
Catteralls in Wakefield: Spending all day on the phone repeating the same (often upsetting) story to several solicitors is not ideal. More importantly, which solicitors are actually well established with experience in your matter. If you look up reviews for Catteralls though on the third party sit...
Penerley Solicitors:
To check whether someone is a qualified solicitor or that a firm has one on staff, you can always use your local law society website. They naturally want to point out - that's not them.
class="infoquote "Penerley provides first-rate legal services to businesses a...
Conveyancing Search Providers:
Each of these partners also have established connections of their own to make their systems just as reliable, effective and efficient including ties to the Environment Agency, Ordnance Survey, and the British Geological Survey. All other variants we tried such as www....
Special Education Needs Lawyer: Therefore the number of firms helping in those areas are much fewer . It was still very positive :
class="infoquote "excellent on the day ... At the moment most scammers are https: www.eveningexpress.co.uk news business home-movers-warned-scammers-could-be-targetin...
Pump Court Chambers Barristers: The official website for this chambers is www.pumpcourtchambers.com which we link to above with www.pumpcourtchambers.co.uk redirecting you there nicely. Prior to this new setup, quite often the first time a client would meet their barrister is about 10 minutes before walkin...
Mason Bullock Solicitors: The most obvious mistake people might make because it's a law firm is to try searching for 'Mason & Bullock' instead. There are far better paying areas of law which is probably why so few firms get involved. The situation was at least slightly covered in https: www.dailyma...
Lindsays Solicitors Scotland:
We've seen much worse though, such as a Criminal Law firm with a negative review for refusing to listen to someone about their divorce case. Search engines seem to bring up the correct firm no matter what variants we used. So is this positivity reflected on the third ...
Aspire Licensing & Administrative Services: Certainly we can't think of one that's more niche off-hand, but we've been doing this for over twenty years now. We promote the same sort of alternative help in other areas of law as well. For example you don't always need a lawyer to deal with your Tax HMRC problem. At the ...
OTS Immigration Solicitors: OTS Solicitors is one such firm. At the time of writing they had over 450+ reviews on Google which is quite unheard of for a law firm . It is a good hallmark of establishment and an indication of adherence to good standards. Not so with OTS, who have a wide range of exp...
Reid and Black Solicitors: But Reid Black state they will give you a free interview for 'any legal issue' which is a lot less common than you might think. For a start, Military Claims are a much rarer case type to be taken on by most personal injury handling firms.
Whilst not actually based in ...
Howe and Co Solicitors:
A quick note on navigation as was mentioned before - there are other legal companies with Howe in the name.
There are hundreds of reports of people https: www.express.co.uk life-style property 1176297 property-for-sale-scam-fraud-warning-news-mortgage" being sc...
Robin Somerville Barrister: A last word from Robin's site:

Levins Solicitors:

An online resource we always highly recommend is The Law Society of England & Wales' website.

Aconveyancing Ltd: Of course, there will be several other variants available such as www.aconveyancy.com or using "a-conveyancing" as the web address.
The official site we link to above is www.aconveyancing.com with www.aconveyancing.co.uk redirecting you there no problem. Aconveyancing ...
The Injury Solicitor Salford:
Immediate reaction to The Injury Solicitor may be that it looks like any other personal injury firm. Whilst the majority of legal https: www.thisismoney.co.uk money mortgageshome article-3385825 Sarah-Ritchie-saved-45-000-dream-home-lost-devastating-new-scam.html" sc...
RD Costings Ltd: For others you may be better off with a Direct Access barrister to save some time and money. They're also not against an insurance company but against a goverment organisation - the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA). At the moment the bulk of fraud is aimed at ...
MGBe Legal Ltd:
However, as this firm only deals with immigration and the site is https secure - we don't envisage any real problems with scammers. If you've visited a few dozen law firm websites already today you'll have seen most use the News or Blog sections to write a couple of lin...
