Antony Hodari Solicitors Housing Disrepair Specialists in Manchester: That's because law firms are one of the few service providers where the losing side often comes online to criticise the firm that beat them. The issue with related domains not being owned or incorrect searches really only affects law matters where the client has to pay...


Argue & Co Legal - Allan Argue Personal Injury Solicitor in Glasgow: It depends greatly on the case type. (And I'm missing a couple of those.) It's just that unlike reviewing the food or service at a restaurant - people are not nearly as quick to share their experience of being defended in criminal court, a messy divorce, or dealing with the ...


Beers LLP - Solicitors in Kingsbridge & Plymouth, Devon: If you've read through any of our other law firm cover articles, you'll hopefully know that we do our best to write unbiased information.

The second is about how ...


Bilkus and Boyle Solicitors & Estate Agents in Glasgow: Whilst the firm's name is unique there are obviously quite a few possible typos. For example, the review we saw criticising a Criminal Law firm for refusing to take on someone's Divorce case. One last stand out phrase from the firm's site: class="infoquote "We pride o...


BLZ Solicitors NIHL, PPI & Immigration Lawyers in Stockport: That's not the case though and there are hundreds of firms out there that still charge full rates just to meet with them. If you look at the page for https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 6833 blz-limited" this firm< a> you'll see there are only two solicitors workin...


Branch Austin McCormick LLP Solicitors in Mayfair, London: However according to our poll last year, only 8% of you trust the testimonials that companies display anyway.

QualitySolicitors Burton & Co in Lincoln & Sleaford: But this sort of mixup on the review boards is certainly something to keep in mind when doing some due diligence on law firms, not just Burton & Co. Each Saturday we offer a drop in service where you can come in and meet our legal experts and learn more about our services."<...


Catteralls Solicitors in Wakefield: You are just as likely to get a one year qualified newbie solicitor from a one hundred year old practice as you are to get a twenty year well-seasoned solicitor from a one year old law firm brand. Catteralls are signed up with The Law Society of England & Wales which is gre...


CEL Solicitors in Liverpool - Housing Disrepair, Knotweed, & Data Breach Claims: We know firms that don't have a website or won't accept email communications, and the amount of printing and letter posting is simply absurd in this day and age. Quite often negative ratings are left by the side the law firm beat in court. We typically don't quote reviews li...


Cooks Solicitors in Newcastle under Lyme & Stoke on Trent, Staffordshire: But if you would like to look up the individual experience and expertise of a solicitor within any firm, you can often get the information at the local law society website. It also means you've got the best of both worlds - i.e. There are other law firms with 'cook' in ...


David Stinson & Co Personal Injury Solicitors in Aylesford, Kent: It can also be to capitalise on the brand name the firm has locally even after merging with another firm.

DisrepairClaim.co.uk - Housing Disrepair Claims Company based in Brighouse, West Yorkshire: But remember, the compensation in housing disrepair matters is an extra sum on top for having had to live with the issues and any health problems or injuries resulting from living in poor conditions.

For exam...


Dylan Nair Solicitors Ltd in Preston, Lancashire: So whilst someone might be very quick to jump online and talk about a pizza they just ordered - they may be more reluctant to discuss how well their dead father's contentious probate went.

Frazer Coogans Ltd - Solicitors in Ayr, Prestwick & Glasgow: Since the 90s the government has been stripping Legal Aid massively so that these days very few people qualify for help and the lawyers working under legal aid are paid a fraction of what they would normally charge for their services.

JPS Walker Solicitors Ltd in Manchester: which sounds great. So if you see one written on a solicitor's site it does not mean both are on offer.

Lefevres Law Firm - Litigation Solicitors in Edinburgh, Glasgow & Aberdeen: The only reason this might cause concern to some people is because of the huge number of law firms still making ancient founding date claims such as 'established in 1881'.

Mackenzie Jones Solicitors in St Asaph, Menai Bridge & Chester: We try our best to provide a range of options for people searching for help.

Milners Law LLP Solicitors in Leeds, Harrogate & Pontefract: Variants such as www.milnerssolicitors.com or .co.uk also are not related. By 'regular' we don't mean they are average.

MJV & Co Solicitors Ltd - Law Firm in Thornton-Cleveleys, Blackpool: It usually relates to the length of time the firm has been running or the highest number of years a specific lawyer at the firm has been working at the job.

OneLaw Chambers - Solicitors, Barristers & Advocates in London: The biggest difference being that these are all very positive comments handpicked by the firm to appear on their website.

Pacific Law Estate Planning Solicitors in Manchester: But the major mobile players we checked all direct 0800 for free now. It's the brand that's been around for centuries - not the people. But sadly the confusion over 0345, 08000, 0808, 0871, etc. Either way should really make no difference to your choice though. c...


Penerley Commercial Lawyers in Islington, London: Penerleys only had three online reviews that we saw after digging through Google, Yell, Yelp and Trustpilot. Obviously during lockdown though everything is a bit haywire. There were all positive , but none of the reviews had left any useful comments. Unfortunately thi...


Richmond Legal Ltd Solicitors in Middleton, Manchester: Whilst we have nothing against firms that try to cover a multitude of services, there are some that clearly go well beyond their capabilities. It also states fluency in Urdu and Punjabi as well as English. So a public display (it's actually capitalised on the Richmond Legal ...


Reynolds Macdonald Solicitors in Hackney: there are plenty of other firms using those two initials. A 200-year-old firm might still stick you with a 1-year qualified lawyer. This may sound like a lot and you may find a solicitor that agrees to run the same case with a 100% compensation guarantee. However if a single...


The Search Bureau from Premier Searches Ltd - UK Conveyancing Search Provider: If you've read some of our other articles where we research solicitors, barristers and law practices across the UK - you'll probably be used to seeing far more in depth information, resources, and opinions than what's been provided here.

Springle & Co Solicitors Estate Planning Wills & Probate in North Shields, Tyne and Wear: Springle & Co.

Stenfield Ltd Solicitors in Norwich & Harrow on the Hill, London: We ran a poll a few years ago which came back in the single digits for people that actually trusted the testimonial pages of company websites.

The Legal Practice Ltd - Solicitors in Rickmansworth & Wembley Park, Greater London: But let's be honest.

Trojan Solicitors Ltd Immigration & Family Law in London: This firm does list customer testimonials on their website: class="infoquote "first class service, excellent interpersonal skills, highly analytical" "They always advised me of the perfect route" "thorough professionalism throughout our case so far"< div> ...

WH Law Ltd - Immigration Solicitors in Woking: That's good. The firm's official website is www.whsolicitors.co.uk but www.whsolicitors.com is for a completely different firm.
