Two Harcourt Buildings Chambers - 2HB Barristers in London: But of course they will all say that. Such as one law firm we saw claiming a 150 year history in their town simply for moving into a building previously occupied by a much older firm. class="infoquote "Her calm yet firm demeanour instills confidence in clients from th...


A City Law Firm Ltd in London: Sometimes even for big brands we've had to type in the location of the head office to get the correct reviews to show up. But they certainly sound as if they take their role in consumer information seriously. Today's article also focuses on things you can do to research a f...


ACSL Solicitors Ltd in Liverpool: Little things like these can show a firm really interested in it's work, the people coming through their site, and that 'transparency' many claim to strive for.

Amy King Legal - Personal Injury & Litigation Solicitor in Gillingham, Kent: 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 probably more important but they have less resources. There is no hard and fast rule....


Backhouse Solicitors in Chelmsford, Essex: An actual sit down with an experienced solicitor to talk for free before deciding to go ahead is rarer than we think it should be.

Bell Lax Ltd - Solicitors in Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham: On the other hand, an individual solicitor who tries to handle a huge range of case types cannot really call themselves a specialist. Despite all three statements seeming to indicate 30 years of 'something' - it is only the second statement that is a real indication that th...


Brian Barr Solicitors Ltd Chronic Pain & Fibromyalgia Compensation in Manchester: The firm's branding is reflected in the web address with the official site being simply www.brianbarr.co.uk (www.brianbarr.com does not redirect there).

Bridge McFarland LLP - Solicitors in Grimsby, Hull, Lincoln, Louth, and Market Rasen: Take this example: class="infoquote "Bridge McFarland LLP is a leading regional law firm that holds an exceptional local, national and international reputation"< div> It sounds good, but what does it mean?

Cullimore Dutton Solicitors Ltd - Conveyancing & Legal Services in Chester: They've also ensured www.cullimoredutton.com redirects to the main site www.cullimoredutton.co.uk which is great as many firms don't bother.

Property sales are the only area of law where we have seen pe...


EDC Lord & Co Solicitors in Southall: The comments and reviews seem mostly positive: class="infoquote "took the time to explain the entire process clearly and concisely" "exceptionally helpful and patient with us, there was a lot that we didn't understand" "about to use them again in a property sale" ...


EMD Law LLP Solicitors in Staplehurst & St Leonards-on-Sea: But a lot of firms can seem to fit into that box with many using similar site wording, making similar promises, and even using similar images on their pages. Certainly for legal services it will be the case that people are more likely to leave a comment mainly if something w...


Foster & Coleman Ltd Solicitors in Bromley, Greater London: There are several similarly named firms such as 'foster & foster' and 'foster law' that popped up while we were searching.
