Two Harcourt Buildings Chambers - 2HB Barristers in London: Two Harcourt Buildings may be a setup you're not familiar with because prior to recent changes in how the public can access legal help, you would have had to pay a solicitor just to get introduced to a barrister that can actually represent you in court. The latter is typic...


A City Law Firm Ltd in London: In fact, just a couple of years ago almost a quarter of firms on our own network were not https secure. If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 469218 a-city-law-firm-limited" check the page< a> for any firm you'll be provided any alternate brand names used, a l...


ACSL Solicitors Ltd in Liverpool: Even for property sales firms. If you've just finished flicking through a dozen of them before arriving here you'll no doubt have already worked out they all seem to say very similar things. If firm says they have been established for over 150 years for example, that doesn'...


Amy King Legal - Personal Injury & Litigation Solicitor in Gillingham, Kent: However that marketing ploy falls flat quite quickly when you realise there cannot possibly be a 200+ year old solicitor sitting behind a desk somewhere. https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk person 6540 amy-jane-king" In this case< a> you can see Amy King qualified ...


Backhouse Solicitors in Chelmsford, Essex: class="infoquote "Our experienced team offer expert help and advice to companies and individuals across Essex, London and surrounding areas, in all aspects of law."< div> We've long praised The Law Society of England & Wales for their user side provided data w...


Bell Lax Ltd - Solicitors in Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham: Many of which probably wouldn't interest members of the general public though unless it related to their actual case. They also have a section highlighting https: www.belllax.com site about_us reported_cases " their more prominent cases< a>. We've seen a crimi...


Brian Barr Solicitors Ltd Chronic Pain & Fibromyalgia Compensation in Manchester: There are plenty which simply string out a list of 'highly recommends!' which is of no use to anyone. The reason people prefer the public boards such as Google, Trustpilot, Facebook, etc. Many use similar wording, similar images, and make similar claims. class=...


Bridge McFarland LLP - Solicitors in Grimsby, Hull, Lincoln, Louth, and Market Rasen: They state alternative company names, all office addresses, specialist case types, and most importantly - qualification dates of each solicitor within the firm. The most common place people go to when looking up any firm is a search for reviews. That means if you see ...

Buchanan & Co Ltd Solicitors in Staveley, Chesterfield, Kiveton Park & Sheffield: Be careful though as some firms use sneaky marketing jargon to make you think they have far more experience than they do. So certainly their claims of decades of experience are well backed up . The official web address we link to above is www.buchananco.co.uk and although t...


Calio Claims Ltd - Personal Injury in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Perth & Dundee: But make sure you get fees absolutely clear at the outset and talk to more than one legal professional before deciding which firm to go with. With that all in the past, why do law firms still use separate brand names and 'Trading As' statements? The most common reason...


Cullimore Dutton Solicitors Ltd - Conveyancing & Legal Services in Chester: If a firm's is promoting the idea of their brand being 200-years old, it's obviously meant to infer they are incredibly experienced. 'cullimore dutton solicitors chester'). Thousands of people https: www.thetimes.co.uk static connected-families conveyancing-email-scam-hack...


Defank Solicitors in London: It's much harder to find firms that list general costs for other matters because of how varied they can be.

Eatons Solicitors in Bradford, Bingley, Yeadon & Leeds West Yorkshire: We don't think the age of the brand should sway you. Firms will try to express experience in many ways. You don't see that for any other case type such as a disgruntled divorcee complaining their spouse's firm won. Also 'eatons solicitors leeds' will bring up different revie...

WYM Legal Ltd Conveyancing Solicitors in Watford: This makes it tricky for people to use star ratings to judge between property firms.

EMD Law LLP Solicitors in Staplehurst & St Leonards-on-Sea: only 8% of you apparently trust company provided comments.

Frei Solicitors Ltd - Luxury Asset Law Firm in London: So while a nationwide conveyancing firm might have 300+ reviews on an independent review forum such as Google, Trustpilot, or Facebook - a specialist divorce lawyer might have only a handful or even none. The company provides quite a few on their testimonials page: cl...


Girlings Solicitors LLP & Girlings Personal Injury Claims Ltd in Sandwich, Ashford & Canterbury: Lastly some clarifications on navigation. As mentioned there are two sites. The word 'specialist' is thrown around alot and not always correctly in our opinion. Girlings point them out which is good to see. If a law firm with only two solicitors in it handles every c...


Goldsmith Bowers Debt Recovery & Litigation Solicitors in Bradford: The answer isn't completely black and white, but certainly there is enough anecdotal evidence from our 20+ years in the industry to make the claim that people have found better results with specialist Motor Offence, Divorce, and Medical Negligence firms.

Hill House Chambers - Barristers Based in London: A solicitor's firm will have all staff working as if it's one big company together.

Horsley Law Solicitors in Stafford aka Horsley Holdings Ltd: 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. They also state (at the time of writing): class="infoquote "99% trials won. We've often said that it's better to h...


JPS Walker Solicitors Ltd in Manchester: Prior to this date the law firm was called JPS Legal Ltd.

MJV & Co Solicitors Ltd - Law Firm in Thornton-Cleveleys, Blackpool: If that's 2x solicitors with 25 years' experience = still pretty good and making sense.

Smith and Graham Solicitors in Hartlepool, Peterlee and Middlesbrough: A quick note on navigation with the firm having an 'and'.

Sternberg Reed LLP Solicitors with Offices in Romford, Barking & Grays: It seems that no matter what a firm is, they can usually spin it to sound as though they are the best option.
