Please check out the new US Law Firm Reviews section on our sister site.


All Law Ltd Review: For a start, most of them look the same with the same sales language, promises, and sometimes even the same images of people smiling and shaking hands. So how can you discern one firm from another? As an example we're going to cover a firm called Law based in Presto...


WYM Legal Ltd Review: Obviously with a w right after the www. For today's example we're in the world of property sales highlighting the firm WYM Legal. Tens of thousands of pounds being transferred to a fraudster's bank account simply because someone didn't check with their appointed solicitor ov...


Wolf Law Solicitors Review: So the merits of the firm as a whole should be taken into consideration. class="infoquote "handled in a professional manner and in a timely fashion" "Always available with advice and to answer any questions" "responsive, supportive, positive" "very profession...


Wilford Smith Solicitors Review: Many home buyers have https: www.takefive-stopfraud.org.uk conveyancing-scams " handed their entire house deposit< a> to a scammer sometimes merely because they received an official-looking email saying the bank details for payment had changed. This one from the Wilford ...


Wildcat Law Ltd Review: Wildcat Law are listed in The Legal 500 which is a very positive independent review of their services. The combination of the two avenues gives a much wider scope to potentially help clients faster and at a lower cost. However if you think about it no firm is ever going to...


Waterstone Partnership Solicitors Ltd Review: We've known several firms (us included) that needed to take a website offline for days or even weeks because of issues with hackers or just Google messing around with the indexing. So how old the firm's logo really doesn't help you know how experienced the actual staff are. ...


Walker Foster Solicitors Review: For an example today we'll use the firm Walker Foster who describe themselves as: class="infoquote "... 'walker foster skipton'. These are just some ideas on what to notice about a firm rather than relying on the sales-pitch. class="infoquote "extremely happy...


UVS Law Review: Be careful of such wording on other sites. You could end up with a 1-year qualified solicitor from a 50-year established firm, or a 40-year veteran lawyer from a brand new law office. https: www.legislation.gov.uk ukpga 1971 77 contents" The Act< a> also exempts individua...


TWB Probate Solicitors Review: Unfortunately, in the UK there are no good guidelines blocking people from calling themselves a 'lawyer' considering most are not aware it does not mean the same thing as a 'solicitor' or 'barrister'. Grants of Representation - Administration of Estates – And Nothing Els...


The Law Partnership Solicitors Review: Some of the largest conveyancing companies in the UK handling hundreds of transactions a month have star ratings in the 3s. With extra emphasis on good speed during house sales purchases. So please keep aware of where you are and who you're communicating with.. The official ...


Thomas and Thomas Solicitors Ltd Review: The age of a firm is irrelevant. The firm does have testimonials on their website. They all sound great descriptions, but as there are no firms claiming to be 'unfriendly', 'newbies', or 'out of date' - such terms don't really help you distinguish one firm from another. They...


Sternberg Reed LLP Review: class="infoquote "We are one of the largest law firms in Essex & East London, with offices in Barking, Romford and Grays."< div> That snippet is a quote from the Sternberg Reed solicitors' website and encapsulates alot of the type of language firms use when tryi...


Solidaire Solicitors Review: So what phrases can you use to separate one firm from another? What resources are available to help you? class="infoquote "We are experienced in what we do and aim to offer outstanding representation at affordable rates."< div> One resource we always recommen...


Sarah Rostamlou-Andrews Law Review: Therefore while your local takeaway might have hundreds of reviews , your local solicitor might only have a handful. If you are a landlord, making a connection or bookmarking the site might be a good idea if you're not currently in need of the services offered. With this, y...


PCS Legal Ltd Review: In the legal industry there is no one main legal body covering everything. Again, many people end up picking the conveyancer they like without checking with their mortgage provider first which can cause issues. Before going ahead with anything make sure you have spo...


Oakwood Solicitors Ltd Review: You could get a 1-year qualified lawyer from a 100-year-old brand name. For example, the .com version of the firm's site is not in use and they have a separate website for their property sales information at www.oakwoodpropertysolicitors.co.uk Noticing things like this are h...


Nicholson Jones Sutton Solicitors Review: For example, this snippet from the firm's front page: class="infoquote "For fast, friendly affordable legal advice - ask Nicholson Jones Sutton Solicitors​"< div> But no firm is ever going to say they are 'slow, unfriendly, and unaffordable' are they? So whi...


Nero Legal Ltd Review: Which is quite striking because when we checked, they had a 4.5 star rating with https: www.google.com search?q=nero+legal+glasgow&oq=nero+legal+glasgow&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqCggAEAAY4wIYgAQyCggAEAAY4wIYgAQyEAgBEC4YrwEYxwEYgAQYjgUyCggCEAAYgAQYogQyCggDEAAYgAQYogQyCggEEAAYgAQY...

MPG Quantity Surveyors Ltd Review: However, it should be pointed out that in the commercial sector it's not just Mr Anon or Ms Smith leaving such reviews. So they really should be given a bit more weight than regular consumer testimonials. Sadly, the UK's legal system was like that for centuries and has been ...


SG Murphy Solicitors Review: At this point if you've been searching for legal services for a few hours already you may be starting to think that they all sound the same. class="infoquote "Average time to receive a call back - 30 mins"< div> Keep your eye out for statements like these on fi...


McCarthy + Co LLP Review: But every little helps. This is especially important since the firm handles property matters. They are not the be-all and end-all of important things to check. class="infoquote "Our conveyancing department combines legal excellence and amazing customer service to he...


Marsden Rawsthorn Solicitors Review: Anything suspicious, make sure to call someone you know at the firm to check.. If a firm handles Property sales for example, they will often have lower scores as no-one is ever satisfied with their house sale. However, if you live in England and Wales this is something you...


Mark Croft Solicitor Review: It's a shame the Scottish and Irish do not have such a resource. This statement is clear as it means Mark Croft himself has 28 years of experience . So if you see any law firm's website saying they are willing to take on Legal Aid cases - don't just pass that over as ...


Lyons Solicitors Review: But the only way to check up on the quote above is to try and find feedback from previous clients. class="infoquote "We have teams of Solicitors and Lawyers based in our 3 offices situated in Westbury on Trym, Kingswood and Chew Magna. You could get a 1-year qualifie...


LS Legal Solicitors Ltd Review: class="infoquote "LS Legal Solicitors is a multi-service, specialist, diverse and dynamic law firm"< div> It's a misconception that any firm stating a wider case range must therefore spread their time between such cases and not have such a great amount of knowl...


QualitySolicitors Large & Gibson Review: We should point out though, that if a firm only has a handful of reviews it does not mean they are not a good firm. However our poll two years ago showed that there is very low trust for reviews provided by the company themselves. That's also how they are displayed on the we...


Kee Solicitors Ltd Review: 'kee solicitors in aberdeen'. Hopefully one day the Scottish database will be as good as the English (which is a tough thing to say as a Scottish firm ourselves!) class="infoquote "informative, professional and prompt in their communication" "handled my case very pr...


Horsley Law Review: For newer firms this might be more difficult. The snippets above are from testimonials posted on the firm's own site but many prefer to use independent boards such as Google, Facebook or Trustpilot. class="infoquote "For a free and confidential discussion about your c...


Heritage Park Family Law Ltd Review: That should not be held against them as it's simply people are not as keen to discuss their private lives compared to a pizza or toy store. You sometimes need to search for the firm name and city they are in to see that information pop up - e.g. A solicitor may not be able ...


HCR Legal LLP Review: So it may be best to bookmark the site if thinking of coming back.. However it's the independent forums most people turn to and prefer such as Facebook, Google and Trustpilot. Both sites are HTTPS secure for submitting your personal details in their contact form. Mo...


Harrison's Solicitors Review: For example, when we searched for "harrisons solicitors reading" the local listing simply would not pop up. So if you see that name at the top of things it is the same company . Property sales are also the only service we know of where people feel free to leave negative com...


Garden Stirling Burnet Solicitors Ltd Review: However, this is not the only way to end up with a specialist solicitor handling your case. You have to search for reviews on each office individually. Also note the spelling matches the town stirling, not 'sterling' after the money. However, Garden Stirling Burnet Lt...


Girlings Solicitors LLP Review: Be aware that www.girlings.co.uk is a totally different firm doing Lettings. As mentioned there are two sites. But are there any benefits differences in using a firm that has a split setup like this? class="infoquote "At Girlings we place the highest value on client...


Frei Solicitors Review: This is where being a niche firm can sometimes cause an issue. Not everyone with lots of valuable assets likes to burn money, despite how fashionable doing so seems to have become in this age of young youtubers getting rich and famous quick. Just always watch out an...


Foster & Coleman Ltd Review: This is the main way people judge a firm's 'reputation'. The site is https secure for submitting your personal details on their contact form. Whilst that may have been a good indication of a qualified firm during the last century, people move jobs now and create new firms ...


Farah Family Law Review: They want someone who only does these types of cases day in, and day out. But always pay attention to what site you are on and who is actually emailing you. If a solicitor is only handling one or two family law matters per year out of a larger case range, it is unlike...


Eve Lake Conveyancing & Legal Services Review: This is actually more significant than you might first think. Be alert throughout your transaction. But most variants we tried such as the .com version or evelakeconveyancing.co.uk all returned domains owned by other companies or not at all. class="infoquote "Here a...


England & Derbyshire LLP Review: "england" and "derbyshire". The firm could have www.englandandderbyshire.co.uk but as you can see, that looks really easy to mis-type. The longest serving seems to have served 33 years as a solicitor. That's not actually as easy to answer as you might think. With all this ch...


EMD Law LLP Review: Ones that provide at least a little insight into the firm's dealings with customers, like these snippets above. There are a lot of review sites with billions of comments. class="infoquote "Initial free 30 minute consultation on some matters"< div> This probabl...


EDC Lord & Co Solicitors Review: The official site uses only the edclord part which is important to note because the firm handles property matters. This is an excellent way for potential clients to get to know the lawyers at EDC Lord and determine whether they have the experience and expertise needed to h...


Eatons Solicitors Review: So absolutely, for law firms at least you need to read the actual comments for context. Domain names are only around £10-£15 a year, so we don't understand why so many property firms don't buy at least a few of the variants to avoid their clients getting tricke...


Drummond Miller LLP Review: Sometimes for something as simple as an official-looking email telling them the bank payment details have changes. For example, www.drummond&miller.co.uk could not exist, it would be www.drummondandmiller.co.uk The site is HTTPS secure for submitting your contact det...


Dispute Resolver Consultancy Review: They often need the name of the town they are based in as well before they will show extra details. It's possible this could be because the firm is using generic terms in the name - i.e. But here is a explanatory snippet from the https: www.citizensadvice.org.uk scotland...

Clarkson Wright & Jakes Ltd Review: class="infoquote "We are committed to delivering expert legal advice and excellent client service."< div> The main place people turn to in order to confirm a firm's claims of 'excellent client service' is usually the public review forums. Variants such as www.cw...


Defank Solicitors Review: Their site is HTTPS secure for submitting your personal details in the contact form. If they have a valid SRA number (Solicitors Regulation Authority) listed on their website then that should be fine. We have seen notes about a Defank Solicitor in Croydon but that seems to...


Cullimore Dutton Solicitors Review: Not so many firms are forthcoming with such details, especially those trying to disguise their levels of experience. The importance of all this is because for many years now property sales have been the biggest target of scammers when it comes to legal matters. Howeve...


Crockett & Co Solicitors Review: 'crocketts solicitors in leeds'. Today's article covers a specialist law firm. class="infoquote "If you are based in Leeds, then visit our free, legal advice drop-in clinic any Tuesday and Thursday between 2pm and 4:30pm"< div> The actual details of the advice c...


Cook Legal Ltd Review: They handled a wide range of services and if you wanted something done, you went down or rang for an appointment. Google has changed how you find reviews of firms on their search though. With todays video chat and secure online document services, the majority of cases don'...


Calio Claims Review: But, no-win-no-fee is not the same thing as 100% compensation . Today while reviewing the website of Calio Claims we'll also be discussing branding. You can also only view details as pop ups which gets very difficult on a mobile device. Some firms do charge a fee if they wi...


Brodies LLP Solicitors Review: Hopefully it's apparent that 1to1Legal is not just another directory of law firms. That can't possibly be true of course. We can only direct you to https: www.lawscot.org.uk find-a-solicitor ?FirmName=brodies&FirmPostcode=&AreaOfLaw=&type=firm&sortOrder=" the search funct...


Brian Barr Solicitors Review: Google has been moving towards a more local setup for reviews though, so sometimes you have to enter the location of the company as well as the name - e.g. So does that instantly make them a better choice? Certainly a specialist for any case type is preferrable whether it'...


Scotland Injury Solicitors from Baker Hardman Review: The official main site is www.bakerhardman.co.uk but the .com version does not redirect you there. There were several negative comments left but they were difficult to get a grip on. It sounds great, but most firms will make claims such as these on their websites too. But lu...


Amy King Legal Review: Or at least, less understanding. Most importantly you can see qualification dates. It's always seen as if you have to make the choice between a) using a large firm with greater resources but you're just another case number, or b) using a smaller firm where each client is pro...


ACSL Solicitors Ltd Review: If firm says they have been established for over 150 years for example, that doesn't mean there is a 150 year old guru solicitor sitting behind the desk running everything. Thousands of people each year end up https: www.theguardian.com money 2023 oct 07 i-lost-240...


A City Law Firm Ltd Review: In fact, just a couple of years ago almost a quarter of firms on our own network were not https secure. So such testimonials might be worth a browse in those circumstances? class="infoquote "My family and I have used the firm for several years" "advice, support, ...
