Finding the Right Help in the UK
TSABI Ltd Solicitors: There has been a huge rise in clients of law firms being targeted by scammers. Again, something you might think everyone does, but they don't. The number of larger firms we know that still choose to work under the scheme are few and far between. Their website is http...
Thorpe Wilson Ltd: But it's not the right name. However the list above is actually a genuine specialist list because most of those case types come under the umbrella term of Litigation. A quick note about navigation. For example, Asda do not 'specialise' in Cereal, Milk, Chocolate, Unde...
Allsop Durn Dearlove: Whilst it would obviously be impossible for us to come up with enough legal matters to truly test every firm we review - we certainly do our background checks and quite often get to know people at a firm before having them on board. Godfrey Newman qualified in 1979, David Du...

Apprise Legal Services: There aren't nearly as many security concerns with a Wills & Probate specialist firm than with those that specialise in other matters such as Property (just seach for 'conveyancing bank details scam' to see how bad it is). No pressure." "A thorough and caring aproach. ...
Aina Khan Solicitors: While looking around for information about this firm you may see references to both Aina Khan Solicitors and Aina Khan Law Ltd. Most legal professionals in the UK are signed up with some local Law Society. These are the same firm and both phrases should bring up the correct...
Will Taborn Ltd: If you're a business person yourself , you've probably seen the numerous 'company furniture catalogues' that seems to list £200 chairs you know you can buy for £25 from your local Argos. A piece on the University of Oxford appealling for help with a legal dispute AI-based s...
Hutcheon Law Solicitors: For example, R James Hutcheon Solicitors' opening hours are 9.30am-7pm Mon-Fri . They don't. They all have the same address, and either of the Hutcheon names should bring up relevant information reviews etc. For example, if you've been injured in a car accident resulting in...
Penn Chambers Ltd: If you use up the hour asking questions you could have had the answers to for free online - then that's money down the drain. There's no shortage of law firms around the London area.
class="infoquote "At Penn Chambers, we use Proteus 3 Case Management Software. It does...
Frank Rogers Motoring Solicitor: That's very different from your own solicitor have 20-40 years' of knowledge behind them. One for Scotland, one for England Wales, and one for Northern Ireland as each has quite separate legal setups. He was fair and to the point"< div>

5 Essex Court Chambers & Partners: But on the whole, solicitors will tend to hire a third party barrister to do the actual court appearances for a range of matters - including 5 Essex Court's speciality of Criminal Law. We've also seen some understandable variants in searches such as "no.5 essex court" and "5...
Avery & Walters Ltd: Some people just skip through the general ratings without really looking into how those ratings were gained. Most solicitors in the UK are registered with them in their respective areas. Avery Walters on the other hand was a firm we identified as one we'd like to have on th...
AWH Legal Ltd: There are always a few things we would like to see from firms.
class="infoquote "We provide a free 15 minute initial consultation for all of our services except for immigration law. So yes, 15 minutes isn't the most generous offering out there but it's far from the w...
HH Law Ltd: But there really are issues that need to be dealt with by mental health professionals.
As you'll have seen on the Law Society page we linked to above, this firm also goes by HH Law Limited. Cases may take months or even years. So do we recommend Hampson Hughes?
...
Lawcommercial Trading Ltd: That will provide you better details about their expertise and experience. We then have to spend several paragraphs explaining and providing examples to show why conveyancers will always get an abnormal percentage of negative comments.
It's not surprising with all this ...
Redwood Collections Ltd: I say oddly because quite often it is the debtors that leave reviews on a debt collection firm and they are obviously bias in the opposite directly. Why it's taken so long for such firms to create apps and online admin areas to keep clients apprised of what's going on is any...
AJLO Solicitors: Accredited firms will typically display a logo stamp on their site saying so. So they're sort of a cross between what we do and TrustPilot.
Why is this more helpful than regular review forums such as Google or Facebook or Yellow Pages? Because they're moderated. This is...
GloverPriest Solicitors Ltd: These should consist of at least the professional's name, expertise and experience. They even state having roots in the area as far back as 1749, although clarify this is under a different trading name.
class="infoquote "We believe in being the expert local solicitors...
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. We would hope that most people will already realise that the age of a law ...
My 33 Legal Limited:
They also mention Legal Aid - another thing most solicitors won't work with any more - but the majority of personal injury claims will come under a no win, no fee arrangement anyway. They're also very emotional and often deal with horrible acts against the most vulnera...
Hammond Trotter Solicitors Ltd: In all honestly, I don't think there is another firm anywhere on our network with this many reviews listed on third party forums. You can search this firm's name on a news search and there's no fantastical articles about them getting the rich and famous off the hook for som...
Driscoll Kingston Solicitors: I would like to thank you all for the good service."

IWC Estate Planning & Management Ltd: The blog section seems to be regularly updated as well. But we've written in several articles before about how meaningless the age of a firm's branding is anyway. A 150 year old law firm might assign you a 1-year qualified solicitors to run your case. They then take that cas...
Briffa Intellectual Property Solicitors: Whatever you do, don't go to www.briffalaw.com (just don't) and the most common misspelling www.brifa.com and .co.uk are not currently owned by anyone either. But the firm's enthusiasm unashamedly spills out of their website anyway. The difference with Briffa's team is that ...
Helix Law Solicitors: Typically if there are grammatical errors and spelling mistakes - the reviews have been sourced from the latter.
Although we call review sites independent, that doesn't mean they can't have issues with fakery. The majority of Helix Law's positive reviews are from peop...

Joanna Connolly Solicitor Advocates: They do not act for banks or lending institutions, allowing them a clear focus on one side of the fence.

CSL Law Croydon: It seems their only flaw is to have a popular acronym as their firm's name. So why bring it up? Well, our editorial review articles on legal firms are created based on demand. However, 1to1Legal is not one of them. This month, we noticed that when putting CSL Law into a sear...
RSR Law Croydon: Confused? Well, take this example. In the case of RSR Law, it was things like publicly denouncing cold-calling and their cessation of personal injury claims handling that initially grabbed our attention.
class="infoquote "RSR Law is taking a stance against cold calling...
Johnsons Solicitors Nottingham: If you skim through our other articles, you'll see lots of varied information from varied sources expressed in varied ways about each firm.

Davey Law: We cannot stress enough the importance of using a firm that states expertise and experience in such cases by name. Firms will usually state such experience separately rather than just bundling them in under the general heading of personal injury. For example, as you'll no d...
Meresbrook Pollard Ltd: "Meresbrook Pollard Solicitors" and "Meresbrook Pollard Ltd" are the same people.

Brearleys Solicitors Brighouse: looks like an attempt at a modern mobile phone design. We know that for many people, it helps to have a mental image of what a person looks like when dealing with them over the phone. However, quite uniquely, Brearleys brings both of those concepts together, stating:

MacLachlans Solicitors Gillingham: I'm not saying that's a negative thing, just pointing out that they seem a lot more genuine despite the repetitive sentiments:
