Looking for Some Opinions or Research?

Fed up of endless over-capitalised and excessively punctuated public review boards? Then try some of our law firm review articles. Written by staff with over 20 years experience in the industry having worked with thousands of solicitors. All compiled into our main site:

A City Law Firm Ltd in London: That's very different to a firm having a 10 or 15 year experienced lawyer on staff. Don't make assumptions because for all you know it may be an award for best logo design and nothing to do with their actual law experience. But they certainly sound as if they take their rol...


ACSL Solicitors Ltd in Liverpool: Always make sure you are on the correct website and never discuss payment details via email.. 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. This so...


Amy King Legal - Personal Injury & Litigation Solicitor in Gillingham, Kent: But how can a member of the public tell an experienced solicitor from a non-experience one? If a solicitor is registered with The Law Society of England & Wales you are able to look up alternate trading names, contact details, areas of law covered, and languages spoke...


Backhouse Solicitors in Chelmsford, Essex: Without devaluing their acheivement, we should point out why this is unusual.

Brian Barr Solicitors Ltd Chronic Pain & Fibromyalgia Compensation in Manchester: The firm's site is HTTPS secure for entering your details on the contact form but always be aware of what site you're on and never discuss payments via email these days. Experience is also a massive part of a successful and swift outcome to your case. Many use similar word...


Brodies LLP Solicitors in Aberdeen, Glasgow, Edinburgh & Inverness Scotland: So those words are pretty much meaningless. The official site is www.brodies.com and at the moment www.brodies.co.uk does not redirect you there. There doesn't seem to be any other firms popping up in the search with similar names. However, how can you check whether th...


Buchanan & Co Ltd Solicitors in Staveley, Chesterfield, Kiveton Park & Sheffield: (Quite often not even from their own clients but from impatient buyers sellers on the opposite side!) class="infoquote "People often feel that Conveyancers get paid for doing very little.

EMD Law LLP Solicitors in Staplehurst & St Leonards-on-Sea: That of a sizeable, high street office with experienced professionals - but not in the old style of solicitors some of us might remember from the pre-2000s. Ones that provide at least a little insight into the firm's dealings with customers, like these snippets above. So kee...


England & Derbyshire LLP Solicitors in Guildford and Woking, Surrey: This can be either the number of years the firm has been running, the number of years the longest serving solicitor has been working, or the number of years of the staff members combined together.

Farah Family Law Solicitors in Birmingham: But the "specialist" most people probably expect when they see that word, is a firm which focuses on just one area of law. Like many perfectly good words in the English language, the word "specialist" has been ruined by marketing firms. The law is not something you ...


Foster & Coleman Ltd Solicitors in Bromley, Greater London: For example you'd obviously be much better off with a 40-year veteran lawyer from a 1-year old firm than a 1-year qualified newbie solicitor that happens to work at a 200-year old brand name. Whilst that may have been a good indication of a qualified firm during the last c...


Frei Solicitors Ltd - Luxury Asset Law Firm in London: The amount of legal work required to buy, sell and just own a house is huge. We try to find a range of professionals in various sections of law.

Girlings Solicitors LLP & Girlings Personal Injury Claims Ltd in Sandwich, Ashford & Canterbury: However, we do not recommend picking a firm based on whether they guarantee you 100% compensation versus taking a 25% 'success fee' (the average percentage).

Lyons Solicitors - Law Firm in Kingswood, Westbury-on-Trym & Chew Magna (Bristol): That's how a firm can 'specialise' in a long list of cases. How old the brand name of a firm has zero bearing on whether you'll get a good solicitor . The same issues arise for positive reviews as well. That included a small range of firms and often you'd just get a firm's ...


Mark Croft Driving Offence Solicitor in Derby: For some reason, the buyer doesn't bother checking up on this before transferring the entire house deposit to the fraudster's bank account. There is not going to be some 200+ year old solicitor within the firm monitoring everything. That's how uncommon it is. It's a shame th...


Marsden Rawsthorn Solicitors Ltd in Preston & Chorley: Because this firm has multiple offices you may need to search individually for reviews.

McCarthy + Co LLP Solicitors in Dublin, Cork & Clonakilty: Never, ever discuss payments via email and call the person you normally deal with to ask if any change is valid. So the phrase 'award-winning' is not of itself meaningful. We had an issue trying to get reviews to come up on Google's site. In the end, all it showed us was th...


MPG Quantity Surveyors Ltd in London - Chartered Surveyors for Construction Dispute Arbitration: But the RICS do not supply the level of consumer help we see on sites such as The Law Society of England & Wales.

Oakwood Solicitors Ltd & Oakwood Property Solicitors in Leeds: Modern technology has brought services from across the UK to our fingertips.

PCS Legal Ltd Conveyancing Solicitors in Basildon, Ongar, Wickford, London, Rayleigh &Harlow: Before going ahead with anything make sure you have spoken to both parties to ensure they are willing to work together.

For example: one of the largest Conveyancing firms in the UK (My Home Move) have a current rating of 3.1 stars out of 500+ reviews on Google. For example, if you see a firm statin...


Wolf Law Solicitors Ltd in Wirral: So when you see a firm claim to have experienced staff or specialists - you can actually check and compare. That seems very unfair to us. If one firm says they will charge a 'success fee' of 25% while another says they will give you 100% of the compensation - there will be a...


WYM Legal Ltd Conveyancing Solicitors in Watford: No 'wym solicitors' variants seem to exist separately.
