Finding the Right Help in the UK
Ian Mallon Solicitors Ltd: A last word to sum up from the firm themselves: class="infoquote "Whether you are a company or an individual and need legal advice – the best way to find out how we can help is to contact us."< div>. We're sure the firm's extra step of translating the site to cat...
TSABI Ltd Solicitors: You never know what these scammers are going to think of next though so just make sure to pay attention to the email addresses you send receive from and never discuss banking details over email. However, on this occasion they have simply linked to the third party revie...
Thorpe Wilson Ltd: The Law Society of England & Wales has an excellent website offering a wide range of information about the legal professionals and law offices registered with them. There is an injured party who needs to get compensation from a third party or a third party's insurer. So yes,...
Allsop Durn Dearlove: Over the past few years there has been quite an upsurge of https: www.theguardian.com money 2020 jul 18 homebuyer-loses-300000-to-fraudsters-but-gets-it-back-after-we-step-in" property clients being targeted by scammers< a> trying to get them to use fake bank details. We ...
MTA Solicitors LLP: Usually around 25%. However, it should be available across their range of claims services as it's mentioned in the majority of their other advertising. Unfortunately MTA Solicitors seem to have been incorrectly blamed for a cold-calling scam which you can see detaile...
Apprise Legal Services: Rather than being a general practice firm that happens to do Will Probate matters as well - Apprise do nothing but such work. Whilst 'Apprise Legal' with and without the 'Services' on the end will still bring up the correct firm in the top organic results of search engines ...
Aina Khan Solicitors: If you've already flicked through a dozen solicitor sites today, you've probably asked the same question - "Is the same person writing all of these?" The constant repetition of marketing jargon such as 'modern but traditional', 'fast but not rushed', 'friendly but profession...
Will Taborn Ltd: Depending on your particular need one may be far more suited than the other. A discussion on a recent survey of over 130 in-house lawyers about their legal spend projections under the Coronavirus pandemic. We're just at a different point in the chain. We either try to provi...
Hutcheon Law Solicitors: For example, if you've been injured in a car accident resulting in whiplash that gave you pain for a couple of weeks - it's not as if one firm might get you £3,000 and another get you £10,000. If you do see an actual compensation calculator on a firm's site though, don't bot...
Penn Chambers Ltd:
class="infoquote "At Penn Chambers, we use Proteus 3 Case Management Software. Of course, finding them is the tricky part. It doesn't have as much information regarding the firm and obviously has different contact information. Don't underestimate the usefullness of suc...
Frank Rogers Motoring Solicitor: Do Frank Rogers offer this?
class="infoquote "Yes, we do, either by phone or, a Zoom video conference. That's very different from your own solicitor have 20-40 years' of knowledge behind them. This is limited to 30 minutes."< div>
They also appear to have a genuin...
OJ Solicitors Glasgow: Sadly, founding dates can be merely marketing ploys. So having plenty of independent reviews to go through is always helpful. It is certainly not the case that the standard high street law firm is the best option in every scenario. However we do try to make sure you have va...
Kudos Legal Solicitors: So despite many law firms making a fuss of their heritage - in our opinion it's meaningless in relation to the experiece of the actual staff working there. A lot of staff being mentioned by name in the reviews too. The only issue when looking such things up is that there do...
Serious Injury Law Solicitors: The last article we put out detailed a firm that had mountains of positive peer reviews, but very little client feedback available to view on the web. So we know to take un-explained negative ratings with a pinch of salt. Especially if you search for related terms such as 's...
5 Essex Court Chambers & Partners: To have such a great industry reputation certainly puts them head and shoulders above many whilst you're making a decision about which firm you should use for your own case. Many of our barristers are qualified to accept Direct Access instructions."< div>
That's from ...
Avery & Walters Ltd: This is done for founding dates too to make firms sound far more established than they are. In our last article we unfortunately had to point out a firm that had more than a dozen 5 star reviews, all written within the same month, and all by people with only 1 review ever wr...
AWH Legal Ltd: If you check the https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation people 594279 awh-legal-ltd?Solicitors=True" entries for AWH< a> you'll see a huge list of qualified staff. So yes, 15 minutes isn't the most generous offering out there but it's far from the worst .
...
HH Law Ltd: But there really are issues that need to be dealt with by mental health professionals. We tried a few on Google and the majority of the time the correct firm showed up but none of the domain varients we tried did. For example, we've always made our thoughts about 'online com...
Lawcommercial Trading Ltd: At the moment, them having quite a unique name means that if you make an error such as www.lawcomm.com nothing with show up so you'll know you'll have made a mistake. But in context these need to balanced and compared against how other property handling firms are portrayed. ...
Redwood Collections Ltd: Naturally, many of them charge much more but if you can find one like Redwood Collections that offer pay-on-completion promises - then it's a no brainer . Luckily there are dozens to look over with third party sources:
class="infoquote "We have used Redwood Collecti...
AJLO Solicitors: At the time of writing this, they only had a 3.8 star rating on Google which doesn't sound great. We're not fans of companies that fill their profiles with everyone's favourite foods, colours, hobbies and pet's names. This is always a useful tool to see what real resources a...
GloverPriest Solicitors Ltd: The website is concise with everything in it's place.
We've seen negative reviews for when the buyer seller pulls out, for incorrect local searches, for third party delays - all of which the client believed their solicitor should have been able to sort.
If you w...
Jarmans Solicitors Sittingbourne: Some have quite credible credentials to support their claims, and others state incredibly tenuous historical links involving someone's brother's sister's uncle's dog who once lived next to the office. Jay Sahota, a senior partner, worked in a City law firm before moving to J...
My 33 Legal Limited: That doesn't just mean length of time though, but actual specialisation in certain case types. But we've also been in the legal industry for over 20 years now and some firms can get way too involved in their own branding. So the fact 33Legal don't just handle these but acti...
Hammond Trotter Solicitors Ltd: They also have offices in two of the largest population centres in England. Working with the law and the court system is the simplest and most effective way of resolving a matter. In all honestly, I don't think there is another firm anywhere on our network with this many r...
Driscoll Kingston Solicitors: Before we get into any more pointers though, what do Driscoll Kingston say about themselves?
class="infoquote "Driscoll Kingston Solicitors' mission was to create a fresh, modern and dynamic law firm with a focus on client care and access to justice for all."< div>
...
SBW Lawyers Ltd: It doesn't mean non-lawyers can practice law. To be clear, 'no win, no fee' is not the same as '100% compensation guarantee'. Whilst there shouldn't be such issues with the case range SBW Law handle, you should always be in the habit of knowing exactly which site you are o...
IWC Estate Planning & Management Ltd: Of course, that's just when they registered as a "Ltd" company in Braintree.
For example the current official website we link to is www.iwcprobateservices.co.uk but www.iwcprobateservices.com doesn't redirect you there and they have switched to this from www.iwc-ltd.co...
Briffa Intellectual Property Solicitors: We love case studies in the same way teenagers love YouTube. The difference with Briffa's team is that they only do Intellectual Property day-in, day-out. They may also deal with divorces, personal injury, and criminal law in the same day. Roughly it's about half and half r...
Helix Law Solicitors: A quality, carefully presented FAQs section for example is sadly a rarity. Just with this alone we would highly recommend bookmarking the correct website once you're on it. If you factor in possible common errors we've already seen such as 'helixlegal', 'helixsolicitors' a...
Leech and Co Solicitors Ltd: We definitely throw a large wad of Kudos their way for bringing it up though. Google's lazy approach to spelling is also a problem because it could hinder you finding reviews online about the correct firm . Even if you don't want to Skype them, the fact they have obvious...
Joanna Connolly Solicitor Advocates: Whilst they don't say much about free initial consultations, the website does mention the Conditional Fee Arrangements (CFA's) I talked about before, but - again unusually - they also offer a Pay As You Go service. Joanna Connolly Solicitors is a sole practitioner law firm s...
CFG Law: Hence the reason for this piece. I may be bias (having sought out engineering myself at uni) but I would imagine that someone who came at their law degree from a different angle has probably influenced the way CFG has come at injury claims from a different angle. However, d...
Hodge Jones and Allen Solicitors: They've been one of the most successful fundraisers through JustGiving. Another factor could be that Patrick Allen founded the firm in 1977 and still runs it 40+ years on .
For example, solicitors typically don't get a lot of online reviews in the same way local shops...
CSL Law Croydon: It seems their only flaw is to have a popular acronym as their firm's name. Usually we only strongly advise people to bookmark a solicitor's site when fraud is a possibility such as scammers preying on property transactions.
So instead of questions like "What makes ou...
RSR Law Croydon: Advice. Variations on RSRLawLtd don't seem to exist as yet, but it seems as though the original firms that merged have simply closed their access rather than redirecting such as sapphireclaims.com
There is also an entirely separate site at www.ContestaWill2Win.com owned...
Johnsons Solicitors Nottingham: This time we spent hours flicking through stuff as usual, but everyone working on this research came to the same conclusion - i.e. Immigration, insurance, police officer, court work, accident investigation, solicitor, etc. It's not uncommon for smaller firms to take all of y...
Autologistic Solutions Limited: Neither the www.autologistic.com version or the full name www.autologisticsolutions.co.uk www.autologisticsolutions.com versions have actual websites on them. In fact, after entering your case type and postcode you can call straight through to any of the firms we recommend...
Philip Nam White Collar Legal: Their new job is merely to show you how to look up information on the CAB's website.
We get dozens of communications a day about joining the 1to1Legal network from various firms handling a range of case types from all parts of the UK and ROI. Providing Accessible and A...
Stephen McCaffery & Catherine Stock:
They provide a similar service for Taxi drivers if you've been refused a driver's licence or had it revoked suspended.
Whilst the firm's two barristers, Stephen McCaffrey and Catherine Stock, have over 20 year's experience between them - there's very little his...
Kings Court Trust Probate: The Guardian newspaper lists KTC as one of their https: www.theguardian.com money 2009 apr 18 probate-writing-a-will" Probate Best Buys< a>, stating:
class="infoquote "Instead of handing the work to solicitors, who can charge by the hour leading to a potentially ope...
EHL Solicitors UK: But at the start of the article we were trying to get across the point that most solicitors either throw themselves away and embrace everything they think is 'trendy' - or they refuse to change and seem 'out of touch'. Much more than your typical law firm.
Their case ...
Davey Law: We cannot stress enough the importance of using a firm that states expertise and experience in such cases by name. Because not seeking attention deserves some attention. If you've read through any of the previous 49 pieces, you'll know that we just love getting the unique, ...
Meresbrook Pollard Ltd: No photo opportunities of the staff feeding homeless people, no self-released 'news stories' with plenty of flattering descriptions of the firm. Not only does Meresbrook Pollard have a unique case range that we've not seen elsewhere, but the reason we wanted them on our netw...
Balfour and Manson Solicitors: However, when it comes to solicitors - people want the impossible. With the company's branding using plus signs now, you need to know that plus signs "+" and ampersands "&" cannot be part of a web address. Ian's father, Francis, joined as a partner in 1922. So www.balfour+ma...
MurrayHay Solicitors: No seriously. Some staff have been to university and some members of staff have caring responsibilities."
Just a quick note on navigation though. "
- "We both found you provided an excellent service at a good price – also you treated us like old friends though we ...
Thompsons Solicitors Glasgow: The average whiplash claim in the UK is currently £2500. www.thompsons-scotland.com, www.thompsons.law.com, www.thompsonsmedicalnegligence.com and so on - many of which don't work or redirect at all. If you want the NI office of this Thompsons, you'll need to go to www...
Alison Ashworth Solicitors: So you will be paying for your legal advice on this one with nearly every firm out there. Certainly, when a case is thrown out because something was not done correctly, it can feel like a loophole was found. If you try going to www.ashworthmotoringlaw.co.uk you will be redir...
Jackson and Lees Solicitors: etc. Instead, they have a list of https: www.jacksonlees.co.uk accreditations-and-awards" Accreditations & Awards< a>. Actions against the police, conveyancing, criminal law, divorce, employment law, family law, historic child abuse claims, immigration, insolvency, medica...
Accident Claims Scotland:
class="infoquote "Our solicitors only handle accident claims. This was an unusual one for us. Certainly whenever someone gets a speeding ticket they don't look up for a general law practice. www.accidentclaimscotland.co.uk and www.accidentclaimscotland.com (minus the ...
Lambert Pugh Conveyancing Solicitors: All of them returned an error and some had not even been bought yet. (No, that's not a real word.) Anyway, enough about their site. Their testimonials also seem genuine. Therefore, once you know you're on the correct site, we recommend you bookmark it to avoid problems retur...
Newry's McShanes Law Firm: - they also have a very specific list of case titles, such as Proceeds of Crime Investigations, Adoption, Assets Recovery, Defamation and Privacy, Equal Rights, Domestic Violence, and more. The name on its own will take you to different companies (i.e. www.mcshane.co.uk and ...
Taylor Rose Solicitors Limited TTKW:
I'm pretty sure most of you perked up at that last one.
This means there are lots of different names and websites connected with the firm. Also note that the firm was formerly called TTKW not MW for many years. Whilst most companies such as Argos, Asda, The AA, ...
Atkinson Rose (Amit Patel) Employment Solicitors: Therefore success rates can't be compared directly. His bio on the firm's website explains the experience he's gained in various large and small law firms during the 10+ years since qualifying as a solicitor. They also state:
class="infoquote "We charge fair, reasonabl...
BarristerDirect Ltd based in Manchester: You will not be passed on to a third party.
Barrister-Direct have years of experience dealing with Personal Injury cases in Court and negotiating the best possible settlement for their clients. They in turn will then often approach Barristers for advice and representati...
Hythe Solicitors Robson & Co, near Folkestone in Southern Kent: Anyway - we're making too much of this.
Robson&Co's Family Law experts, like all other firms, will either be the type you are looking for or not. Certainly, we think it is a good sign of a good firm when they do take on such cases, because they are often tricky - especi...
Brearleys Solicitors Brighouse: We're not overly keen on testimonial pages on company websites to begin with - but this one quotes reviews from back in 2013. Most of the time they are used in marketing campaigns - e.g. The newer testimonials near the top of the page are undated, but few provide any extra i...
Law in Cornwall Ltd: They offer family law services such as divorce, children and family cases. They can help with disputes between directors, intellectual property cases, partnership problems and shareholder disputes.
Their solicitors have over 20 years experience in Personal Injury Claim...

Anupamah Huneewoth Solicitors: On this occasion, the practice areas are not mentioned. Their information is hosted on the National Solicitor's network. They should also have a direct, company email address such as info@huneewothsolicitors.co.uk not ab41888998@hotmail.com
With all of that checked ...
MacLachlans Solicitors Gillingham: That's why firms who allow you to speak to your actual solicitor BEFORE deciding to go ahead are the best to contact. Hopefully they'll have done that by the time you're reading this.
A quick note on navigation because whilst typing this review I must have spelled 'ma...
Marcus Andreen Commercial Law: His website states an estimated saving of around 25% to 50% when compared to that charged by full service, general law firms.
Established in 2004, with the objective of offering small businesses and entrepreneurs a cost-effective counsel-type service, Marcus Andreen had...
Hartley Bain Solicitors in Stratford, Greater London: Their approach means that they are consistent in the standard of excellence they bring to their service and flexible enough to build into each relationship value that is meaningful for each client.
They operate on the principle that the needs of the client always come f...
Debt Solve UK: We're not sure what that means. Which means it is probably best to bookmark the site once you are positive you're on the correct one to save problems later. And when you're dealing with money and payments - being sure is always best!. The Track & Trace service works on a no ...
Taylor Bracewell Doncaster: But all the same, we recommend that you bookmark the correct site once you know you are on it to save potential problems in the future.. Here at 1to1Legal, we always like to see a focus on the needs of the Elderly. Their commercial law partner and head of the business team, ...

Countrywide Property Lawyers Ltd: So time for me to stop waffling and get on with it. Fortunately, both the media and public perception has changed. that have to be covered when reviewing a law firm. That's not a negative feature, it's just that generic statements don't always help when deciding to use a fir...
