Finding the Right Help in the UK
Ian Mallon Solicitors Ltd: There could be some common spelling errors such as 'Malon' or people looking up other variations such as ianmallonsolicitors.com - but it's always a good idea to bookmark any site you plan on coming back to anyway. Ian Mallon's website also has a Polish translated sec...
TSABI Ltd Solicitors: The branding has the longer name but you will find most things such as regulatory bodies mentioned above and review pages use the acronym version. Their website is https secure so should be fine for entering your personal details on the contact forms. This was back when th...
Thorpe Wilson Ltd: We saw a review recently where someone left a one star rating for an Immigration firm for refusing to take on their Divorce case. Whilst the majority of scams at the moment https: www.thetimes.co.uk static connected-families conveyancing-email-scam-hackers-steal-house-depo...
Allsop Durn Dearlove:
That's certainly the case for Allsop Durn as we'd worked with one of the titular staff members on a previous project. Is it a good thing? We think so. We've had someone rant about 'capitalist law firms!' on our reviews and seen someone give a 1 star rating to a D...
MTA Solicitors LLP: For example if all five of your local solicitor's offices have great reviews and well worded sales pitches on their website - you can check the background of the solicitors within each practice to see who may have the most experience. However, if you've already research...
Apprise Legal Services:
So are there any consumer reviews to go on? Certainly there are the usual testimonials on the company's website:
class="infoquote "David made it easy to do, easy to explain to my Mother and my family and for a price that was excellent value for money."

Aina Khan Solicitors:

Will Taborn Ltd: Taborns is therefore much more of a business legal solutions provider than just a case handler . We're just at a different point in the chain. If you're a business person yourself , you've probably seen the numerous 'company furniture catalogues' that seems to list £200 ch...
Hutcheon Law Solicitors:
You can always check the experience and expertise of most legal professionals using their area's Law Society database. We didn't notice any glaring signs of fraudulent reviews either - i.e. No win, no fee means that if your case loses you won't have to pay anything. We...
Penn Chambers Ltd: At a very difficult time he remained clear thinking when emotion was getting in the way of my better judgement."< div>
But according to our poll last year, less than 19% of you trust company testimonials on websites.

Frank Rogers Motoring Solicitor: It's a common misconception that general practice firms are always less able to handle a certain case type compared to a specialist.
Also keep an eye out for whether a firm offers a free consultation with the actual qualified solicitor who may be running your case . ...
OJ Solicitors Glasgow: We've experienced this personally when someone decided to have a rant about 'capitalist law firms!' on our review section. Whilst there are hundreds of law firms proudly stating 'established in 1881' - it is impossible for there to be a 150-year-old solicitor sat behind a ...
Kudos Legal Solicitors: There didn't seem to be a website for the London based Kudos Law Ltd. However we tend to focus on third party independent review boards when doing our research which (according to our poll last year) is what most of you do as well with any company. A 40-year-old law firm cou...
Serious Injury Law Solicitors: If you look at the page for Serious Law there is a range of experience levels, with solicitors from every decade over the past 40 years. Even if it's just to complain about missing contact details on individual team pages or a lack of expected website functionality. The pers...
5 Essex Court Chambers & Partners: On this site like most chambers you'll be presented with each barrister's case focus, experience and usually some testimonials for each individual rather than the firm as a whole. You would take your case to a solicitor, they would run it, and they would hire a barrister to ...
Avery & Walters Ltd: Most solicitors in the UK are registered with them in their respective areas. In this case, Avery Walters definitely has well-experienced staff and a well-established firm . Laura successfully navigated me through the process with the minimum of fuss,"
"found them to b...
AWH Legal Ltd: These are old names or names of firms they have merged with so should really no longer apply. Or you could end up speaking to a junior in-experienced staff member for the 'free' 30-60 consultation on offer. So how are AWH being rated across the independent third party review...
HH Law Ltd: Having spent more than a year 'face down on the wet pavements of Liverpool taking photos and measurements' he's more aware of the big differences between the various personal injury firms. My case was handled professionally, with quick responses and constant updates at eve...
Lawcommercial Trading Ltd:

We've focused a lot on the property side of this firm for (hopefully) obvious reasons. If a property sale delays or crashes because of the third party buyer...
Redwood Collections Ltd: Unfortunately there are companies out there that will charge you a fee for doing the threat letters but then simply hand the case back to you if those letters fail.
class="infoquote "We supply all clients with regular reports in hard copy and 24 7 online access to your...
AJLO Solicitors: This type of complaint should absolutely be ignored and should really be deleted.
A large number of firms will proudly display ancient establishment dates such as "Founded in 1881", yet on checking their staff records you'll see not one of them has more than 1-10 ...
GloverPriest Solicitors Ltd: Offer to completion was 12 weeks exactly" < div>
Those are just a few snippets from around the web. They even state having roots in the area as far back as 1749, although clarify this is under a different trading name. But the most important dates you should be looking a...
Jarmans Solicitors Sittingbourne: It could also mean they've researched what's possible and organised the most sought after information so people can view it. Jay Sahota, a senior partner, worked in a City law firm before moving to Jarmans Solicitors handling litigation matters up to £3.5billion. (That's a g...
My 33 Legal Limited: We work on a no win no fee basis meaning you get free expert advice regarding your potential claim."< div>
Sounds good, but obviously this is something all claims firms will state in one way or another. We've seen law firms sharing Strictly Come Dancing memes, swearing,...
Hammond Trotter Solicitors Ltd: Unfortunately, when you have a very low number of reviews from which to draw an average - just one even middle-ing review can cause a large slip. However, if it's something more serious and your whole life could change without the ability to drive yourself around - then the...
Driscoll Kingston Solicitors: In fact added together the firm has almost 100 years of combined experienced between the current solicitors.
It should therefore be noted that Driscoll Kingston have been very cautious and honest on their website by only stating they have 30 years experience (i.e. W...
SBW Lawyers Ltd: However the idea that a 200 year old firm has ten times the knowledge or experience than a 20 year old firm - is obviously nonsense. People have ended up handing over tens of thousands of pounds of their house deposit to fraudsters sometimes based on a single email telling t...
IWC Estate Planning & Management Ltd: Also whilst https: find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk company 04532330" the official name< a> seems to be IWC Estate Planning & Management Ltd, we see it compacted to IWC Probate & Will Services in some places with the further shortened IWC Probate Service...

Joshua Schuermann is from Paris and was a professional musician and production assistant before becoming a solicitor, moving to London, and studying Media and Entertainment Law. We love case studies in the same way teenagers love YouTube. If you don't know how passionat...

Joanna Connolly Solicitor Advocates: For example, when we checked their site it stated that during their firm's history they had: won 78% of cases, lost 2% of cases, had 20% of cases dropped, and recovered 75% of legal costs. No conflicts - which is nice. Whilst many firms offer no win no fee and 100% compensat...

Hodge Jones and Allen Solicitors: The firm actually opened a club in their basement called Club Inegales:

CSL Law Croydon: If we see a lot of people using our internal search to seek a review article on a particular firm - we write one.
Yet despite CSL Law having been on our network since 2014, no-one has asked. However that is only the date the 'Limited' version of the company was incorpor...
RSR Law Croydon: That along with the fact they switched their focus from the often-deemed-easier task of processing whiplash claims to dig into dismissal cases and contentious probate - meant we had to get in touch to see about getting them on board.

Johnsons Solicitors Nottingham: Everyone detained in a police station or interviewed under caution qualifies for legal advice and assistance free of charge, irrespective of means."< div>

It's written in large print, right at the top of the main page. White Collar director Philip Nam's profile states his more than a dozen years of legal and admin...
Stephen McCaffery & Catherine Stock: She also lectures in advocacy training for solicitors and police officers. Technically speaking if you remove the 's' from the https: part of the web URl in an old browser you'll see a site displayed, but obviously the 's' indicates a level of 'security' so that removal i...
Kings Court Trust Probate: This apparently lets you check the progress of your case at any time through a password protected admin area. 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:

EHL Solicitors UK: It's unique. Can law firms straddle the line between stalwart and modern?

Meresbrook Pollard Ltd: Not only does Meresbrook Pollard have a unique case range that we've not seen elsewhere, but the reason we wanted them on our network and are recommending them to you - involves a considerable amount of 'intuition'.
Why should you trust our gut about this firm? We've ...
Balfour and Manson Solicitors: This is a historic firm, embedded not just in the local communities - but in some high profile news as well. Okay, with this review we have a lot to get through. They have expanded their Aberdeen operations in 2016 by merging with the 25-year-old law firm http: www.duthiew...
MurrayHay Solicitors: Luckily, the website is the firm's name, the name is simple, and it's a regular tld with the .co.uk - however the www.murrayhay.com address does not seem to belong to them and was displaying some weird stuff when we looked. Wills and probate, commercial and residential prope...
Thompsons Solicitors Glasgow: They have offices in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Peebles, Galashiels and Dundee. Then there is www.thompsonslaw.co.uk which seems to just link to all the other sites they own.

Accident Claims Scotland: In Scotland there is often some confusion about "no win, no fee" and "100% compensation". www.acs.co.uk and www.acs.com are two totally different IT companies. However, before the 1to1Legal brand came into being, we ran a similar but different service referring people to sol...
Lambert Pugh Conveyancing Solicitors: However, don't assume that Will writing is a simple process. As you'll have gathered from our piece, whilst the logo has 'pugh' all in lower case and attached to the 'Lambert' - they are in fact two separate solicitors. The Residential Conveyancing team is headed up by John ...
Newry's McShanes Law Firm: They talk about their ongoing training and development programmes to "maintain the highest standards at all times".

Hythe Solicitors Robson & Co, near Folkestone in Southern Kent: Team - we're impressed. Be sure you remember it right if you decide to search later. The same does not often apply to things such as motor offences.

Brearleys Solicitors Brighouse: However, many people prefer a more local presence for other case types such as divorce or property matters.

MacLachlans Solicitors Gillingham: (Metaphor not intended.) During our 20 years in the industry we've seen the most tenuous links used to exaggerate shorter timelines.

KTPSolicitors: This doesn't just keep costs down, but also stress and timescale. The only reference we could find was a local news website mentioning that the firm was http: www.walesonline.co.uk news local-news santa-jog-dozens-take-cardiffs-6359640" sponsoring a local run to raise fun...
Countrywide Property Lawyers Ltd: www.countrywide.co.uk is also available, however www.countrywide.com goes to an American firm.

Michael Jefferies Injury Lawyers @ Jefferies Solicitors Ltd: They point out that things such as depreciating value of the car, road tax increases, and so on are yet to be discovered.
