Michael Leighton Jones Solicitors in Bargoed & Tredomen, Wales: Sadly though, it often does promote that idea and the legal industry is one of the last such places this discrimination exists.

Reynolds Macdonald Solicitors in Hackney: Please be aware though that reviews for law firms are very different to reviews for things like restaurants or hairdressers.

The Search Bureau from Premier Searches Ltd - UK Conveyancing Search Provider: All other variants we tried such as www.searchbureau.com and www.thesearchbureau.com were owned by different firms.

Thaxted Legal Ltd Immigration Solicitors in Chislehurst, London: That's always something to watch out for especially with multi-office firms or firms with non-unique names. We even have a list of the most 'problematic' firms based on the complaints databases. Sadly the government body doesn't even provide a good advisor search function an...


The Legal Practice Ltd - Solicitors in Rickmansworth & Wembley Park, Greater London: The three words of the firm's branding 'the', 'legal', and 'practice' are not unique terms such as when solicitors typically use their own surname.

Trojan Solicitors Ltd Immigration & Family Law in London: For Trojan they list Agnieszka Tomasikiewicz as having qualified in 2012 and Rameez Dar in 2017.

WH Law Ltd - Immigration Solicitors in Woking: So full time at just immigration asylum matters is decent enough to add up.

Woodstock Legal Services Ltd - Solicitors Law Practice in Poole: If you've already been through a few dozen today it's likely you've seen every single one of them make the claim quoted above from Woodstock's.
