TSABI Ltd Solicitors: Again, something you might think everyone does, but they don't. If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 594070 tsabi-ltd" check out the page for this firm< a> you'll see a list of solicitors across their two offices and their qualifying dates. available to ...
Thorpe Wilson Ltd: class="infoquote "Exceptional Customer Care to accomplish the best results"< div> All companies have sales-pitch language on their websites. However a poll we ran a couple of years ago indicated that most people don't trust company's own testimonials anyway. For e...
Allsop Durn Dearlove: However after so many years of flicking through such sites, we've noticed quite a few distinctions the less regular browser may not. (No ... This firm https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation people 462483 allsop-durn?Solicitors=True" is registered with The Law ...
MTA Solicitors LLP: They are trying to get your details in order to sell them on as a 'case lead' to less scrupulous claims companies. If you're still struggling to decide between various firms, there are other things you can check independently too . It could be that the firm offers a s...
Apprise Legal Services: This seems to be be completely different company though.
One last snippet from the firm's site that seems to summarise:
class="infoquote "Do you want to reduce the Inheritance Tax (I.H.T) paid upon your death? Do you want to prevent your spouse partner from havin...
Aina Khan Solicitors: So maybe not a lot of people feel the urge to go online and share their feelings. 5,000+ cases.
class="infoquote "It is amazing that you were able to advise on my complex Surrogacy case while I was working abroad"
"My husband thought he could dismiss me with nothi...
Will Taborn Ltd: Just watch out for adverts Google slips in at the top as they allow advertisers to stuff matching keywords in sometimes.
Unfortunately, despite the firm having been running for some years now - there weren't any public reviews we could find on the regular review boar...
Hutcheon Law Solicitors:
Navigating can also get a little confusing if you're trying to research the firm yourself. They all have the same address, and either of the Hutcheon names should bring up relevant information reviews etc. R James Hutcheon Solicitors don't go that far , but they do hav...
Penn Chambers Ltd: You can usually find other information such as the practice's case range, staff, other offices, alternative contact details and so on. Also, in some of the searches we tested, the website of their parent company www.penngroup.co.uk showed up as the top result. The fact Penn...
Frank Rogers Motoring Solicitor: There is a Law Society website for each area. For example, 5 solicitors x 4 years experience each = 20 years' experience. Note that many law firm's websites will make a statement such as "40 years of experience within the firm" or "20 years of combined experience". But you...
OJ Solicitors Glasgow: Oana is a mature, experienced solicitor, holding law degrees in both Romania and Scotland, with over ten years of practice."< div>. Quite often you'll see negative ratings with comments that don't even sound as though they are talking about the correct firm. A last word to t...
Kudos Legal Solicitors: However, during our 20+ years working with law firms we've come across all sorts of dubious versions of this.
class="infoquote - "...
class="infoquote "Our knowledge, experience and dedication means we are the best to fight your case and ensure the best possible...
Serious Injury Law Solicitors: This is the same advice we've always given for people with Medical Negligence cases as well . Their staff pages do indeed have direct email addresses for each individual solicitor. Our Court of Protection services bring long-term support to seriously injured and vulnerable ...
5 Essex Court Chambers & Partners: But probably more so because Direct Access is unfortunately not as widely known as it should be considering how long it's been available. We've also seen some understandable variants in searches such as "no.5 essex court" and "5 essex street" for example. But many people mig...
Avery & Walters Ltd: In this case, Avery Walters definitely has well-experienced staff and a well-established firm . firms posting 5 star reviews about themselves and companies posting 1 star reviews of their competitors. If you read through them rather than just skipping through star ratings, ...
AWH Legal Ltd: The official company name is AHW Legal Ltd which is what shows on the Companies House records and The Law Society pages we linked to above. Of course, most people won't have any idea whether these are worth paying attention to. For example, their staff profile pages are he...
HH Law Ltd: 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. From Ian Troop and Carlos Lopez (both qualified in 2000), to Paul Hampson (2005) and Gary Doward (2019) it's a good sign of tempered experience mixe...
Lawcommercial Trading Ltd: When searching for reviews and information about this firm yourselves elsewhere, please note that Lawcommercial Trading Limited is the full company name. So what are people saying on the independent review forums:
class="infoquote "I have found their services extremely...
Redwood Collections Ltd: Some are only set up to send threatening letters. Redwood managed to get my money back. There aren't too many possible variants to worry about and scammers tend to target other legal matters such as property and wills anyway so no concerns to raise here. VERY fast turnaround...
AJLO Solicitors: On the AlexanderJLO site each staff member has a direct email address displayed and a link to their personal reviews with the Good Lawyer Guide.
class="infoquote "We would be delighted to offer a free initial appointment but are unable to assist with Legal Aid applic...
GloverPriest Solicitors Ltd:
If you want to know more about any particular solicitor at any firm you can usually get it from The Law Society website. Overall though, each office has positive reviews:
class="infoquote • "... We offer you face-to-face appointments and also remote dealin...
Jarmans Solicitors Sittingbourne: Even so far as responding to reviews on third party site. 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. That's a genera...
My 33 Legal Limited: Not by a long shot. On the other hand whiplash claims against insurers are rarely contested, quick, easy to research prove, and therefore more profitable.
class="infoquote "33 Legal have a dedicated and specialist CICA Claim team with specialist lawyers working solely ...
Hammond Trotter Solicitors Ltd: However, they state a success rate of 87% and I'm sure you've seen several firms stating successes in the 90-100% range. The more you know the easier it will be to understand your options and choose the right person to help you. We've been working in the legal industry al...
Driscoll Kingston Solicitors: Their firm, it's staff, and the legal industry as a whole mean a lot to them. More than a dozen snippets packed with odd grammar, spelling mistakes, and a mix of quotes commentaries. But the fact it's not simply a pile of extra sales pitches disguised as articles - speaks...
SBW Lawyers Ltd: We've seen a criminal law firm get a negative review for not handling divorces. First:
class="infoquote "Founded in 2006"< div>
Considering a huge number of law firms like to boast ancient founding dates such as 'established in 1881', a firm founded in this centur...
IWC Estate Planning & Management Ltd: If a firm you're interested in doesn't say they do home visits or out of hours appointments on their website (IWC do state such) then you can always ask. That's a big deal. You have to be pretty confident in your customer service to do such a thing when it comes to legal...
Briffa Intellectual Property Solicitors: They also seem to have had prior lives and professions where Intellectual Property protection would have been important to them personally.
To top it off, they have a wide range of case studies on their site. One look at Briffa's website though with the large text, brig...
Helix Law Solicitors: Some will directly ask customers to provide something in writing using a 'customer feedback questionnaire' after the case has finished. Typically if there are grammatical errors and spelling mistakes - the reviews have been sourced from the latter.
Although we call revi...
Leech and Co Solicitors Ltd: The firm's website obviously states they've been helping clients for over 25 years .
I'm sure you've seen many law firms quoting a heritage harking back to Victorian times. So when Leech & Co are writing blog articles entitled "Can the insurance company check my Faceb...
Joanna Connolly Solicitor Advocates: No conflicts - which is nice. Whilst many firms offer no win no fee and 100% compensation guarantees for things such as personal injury - the same is not always offered for other case types. They also cover mortgage mis-selling by brokers and lenders, financial mis-selling, ...
CFG Law:
class="infoquote "CFG Law is a law firm unlike any other. The downside is, they aren't looking to help everyone who's been injured.
There aren't a lot of indications as to why this firm decided to be different. Typically, unless we see specific terms popping up ...
Hodge Jones and Allen Solicitors: I don't think anyone can argue that!
There also seems to be an active interest in law generally and in helping people. All above 4☆. Everything from Legal 500 UK Firm of the Year, Legal Aid Team of the Year, Personal Injury Team of the Year and even individual awa...
CSL Law Croydon: It seems their only flaw is to have a popular acronym as their firm's name. From a statistical and sociological standpoint - that's a positive thing.
The typical review sites such as Yell, 192, Yelp, and Google have only a handful of comments and (at the time of writing...
RSR Law Croydon: 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 and ope...
Johnsons Solicitors Nottingham:
The firm has actually had quite an extensive amount of media coverage including mentions in TV and Radio documentaries. Again from the Johnson's official website:
class="infoquote "We have over 60 Criminal Advocates, over 25 Accredited Police Station Advisors an...
Autologistic Solutions Limited: Quite often we get contacted by firms asking us to remove or reword things - so we must be doing something right!
The point is, for this firm, the basic information and pros and cons didn't seem like they'd be useful information under the circumstances. We plan on tes...
Philip Nam White Collar Legal: with access to a nationwide network of solicitors and barristers, we can also refer your legal issue to the appropriate person should we be unable to do the work for you."< div>
If it sounds like we're being overly positive about what seems to be a very small, new fi...
Stephen McCaffery & Catherine Stock: If you are a nurse or midwife being brought before the Nursing & Midwifery Council (NMC) as the result of a complaint or allegations of wrong-doing. Prior to practice at the Bar he worked in a criminal defence firm covering difficult cases.
They provide a similar servi...
Kings Court Trust Probate: We had to crawl the web to find all this out about them (you're welcome). We also would like to see some case examples. Therefore it is probably best to bookmark the correct site once you're on it just in case.. In these days of Facebook and LinkedIn, an increasing number of...
EHL Solicitors UK: They are not very good for actual useful communication when it comes to legal issues.
We will respond to emails received within 24 hours. That's my point.
If I had to pick something to criticise (and what review would be complete without a bit of nit-picking) I'd pref...
Davey Law:
Davey Law has even created an extra website on the subject at www.seriousinjury.expert where you can read some http: seriousinjury.expert success-stories " success stories< a> and testimonials from previous clients.
On that subject, navigation is something we n...
Meresbrook Pollard Ltd: But here's what we did discover about this particular firm:
Their case range includes Immigration (e.g. No photo opportunities of the staff feeding homeless people, no self-released 'news stories' with plenty of flattering descriptions of the firm. We've done work for h...
Balfour and Manson Solicitors: The firm's executive chairman chairwoman chairperson (pick your favourite) Elaine Motion, stated:
color="green "Alastair and Richard are both very well-known and well-respected lawyers in Aberdeen with deep roots in the city. This is a historic firm, embedded not jus...
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. Ian has 30 years experience in residential and comm...
Thompsons Solicitors Glasgow: They have offices in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Peebles, Galashiels and Dundee. I was lettered regularly on any updates. If this amount doesn't impress you, then you've been watching too many American lawyer dramas. The web address we link to above is www.thompsons-scotland.co.uk,...
Alison Ashworth Solicitors: prefix. Wherever you are in England or Wales, their motoring law solicitors are on hand 24 7 and believe that almost every motor prosecution can be successfully defended. At 1to1Legal, we love specialists! And we can think of no greater case type where a specialist would be ...
Jackson and Lees Solicitors: etc. The Group as a whole apparently donate two percent of profits to the foundation. As you may or may not know, Jackson Canter is now Jackson Lees solicitors. They were not all like that. This was not the first such move for JC though. These include Tough Mudder, 5km, 10km...
Accident Claims Scotland: This should be made clear to you from the outset though once the details of your case are known. 'accident', 'claims', and 'scotland') Google might mess you about when searching for them.
class="infoquote "Our solicitors only handle accident claims. If you're not sure...
Lambert Pugh Conveyancing Solicitors: I have said I never want to move again but if I do I will definitely come back to Lambert Pugh and will be recommending them to anyone else I know wanting to move. However, don't assume that Will writing is a simple process. well, genuine. Whilst we can't review Lambertpugh ...
Newry's McShanes Law Firm: Obviously trying www.mcshane&co.com will never work, but neither will www.mcshaneandco.co.uk it seems. McShanes claim such a reputation but (thankfully) do not cover their website with crass stories about the, often uncommon, super-large payouts achieved. There are a few dif...
Taylor Rose Solicitors Limited TTKW: Their recent history is packed with more changes and growth than we typically report regarding our 100+ year established firms. Most of the old and merged websites now link to the current one. And more recently in 2015 they merged with Tucker Turner Kingsley Wood LLP which i...
Atkinson Rose (Amit Patel) Employment Solicitors: They are usually to try and scam you out of property money, but you never know what they're going to think of next. 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. re...
BarristerDirect Ltd based in Manchester: They in turn will then often approach Barristers for advice and representation if your case proceeds to Court. Then, should your claim actually go to Court, you will continue to be represented by the same people you've already been working with. They handle all the usual typ...
Hythe Solicitors Robson & Co, near Folkestone in Southern Kent: That is rare. Also, according to Edward Hasted -- the author of The History and Topographical Survey of the County of Kent (1778–99) -- a French fleet approached Hythe in 1293 and landed 200 men, but "the townsmen came upon them and slew every one of them: upon which the res...
Brearleys Solicitors Brighouse: Brearleys have offices in Batley, Birstall, Cleckheaton and Brighouse.
It is not unusual for companies in any industry to create specialist or mini-sites. All that can happen in the space of a few months, let alone several years. Not a national spread of locations if yo...
Law in Cornwall Ltd: 'No win no fee' is not the same thing as '100% compensation', despite both being thrown around in various law firm's adverts.
They cover the usual personal injury types of claims, such as work accidents, accidents in a public place, back or spinal injuries, slips trips ...
Julia Brown Solicitor @ Family Legal Solicitors: They offer all clients an initial low-cost advice session where the first hour of our time is charged at just £75. The practice regularly features in the legal 500, and was honoured to be nominated as Best family law firm in the UK (lawyer monthly magazine in 2015).

Anupamah Huneewoth Solicitors: They use the word 'experienced' to describe themselves in reference to family law and immigration. There is no About Us page for us to look at though, so we started reading through the information.
Huneewoth Solicitors are based in Croydon - a large town in South London...
MacLachlans Solicitors Gillingham: But Debt Recovery, Employment Law, Motoring Offences, Powers of Attorney and Residential Property are a mix we've never seen at any other law firm, ever. MacLachlans don't do that. But unless they had a negative experience or have been encouraged by the firm to go and leave ...

Hartley Bain Solicitors in Stratford, Greater London: Clearly a slight lean towards immigration matters, but the articles may diversify more over time.
Lastly we would point you to their testimonials page with reviews such as "Some of the characteristics that come to mind are: professional, courteous, competent and thorou...
Debt Solve UK: This is for businesses who have lost touch with their debt owing customer completely. Subsequent to that would be their absconder tracing service. And when you're dealing with money and payments - being sure is always best!. That's why we started getting barristers on board ...
Taylor Bracewell Doncaster: More specifically, they received accolades for their charity law, family law and employment law work. So are they simply different?
In 2014, 2015 and 2016 Taylor Bracewell were recommended in Legal 500 - an annual guide judging the top law firms, lawyers, attorneys, adv...

Countrywide Property Lawyers Ltd: Alternative business structures were introduced back in 2007, but didn't actually get going until 2012. We link to www.countrywide-conveyancing.co.uk from this page (www.countrywideconveyancing.co.uk is blank) but the main websites seem to be www.cwpl.com and www.cwpl.co.uk ...
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.
The main people to note would probably be Michael Jefferies (Managing Director), Nina Ramsden (Director), and Kathryn Harland (Personal Injury Solic...
