Two Harcourt Buildings Chambers - 2HB Barristers in London: We've been working in this industry for over 20 years now and have seen a huge amount of progress and changes. Thankfully the legal industry is modernising and progress is speeding up in some areas. Two Harcourt Buildings may be a setup you're not familiar with because pri...


ABS Lawyers Ltd Solicitors in Corby & Maghull, Liverpool: That means they've added up the experience years of everyone within the firm. There are also many things between the lines that the regular consumer might not notice - but we do. The problem with this is that ABS Laywers handle conveyancing which has been https: www....


Antony Hodari Solicitors Housing Disrepair Specialists in Manchester: Almost a 'crusade' mentality. You might also see claims such as 'combined experience of X years' which simply means all the staff's experience years added together. It takes all sorts I guess. But the name is so unique that if you type 'anthony hodari' into a search the corr...


Argue & Co Legal - Allan Argue Personal Injury Solicitor in Glasgow: Despite the owner's surname being a generic word (argue) the firm shows up fine for the majority of it's terms on search engines. If this were a Family Fortunes game, the top answer as to why someone chose a firm would be ethusiasm. Despite the long list of case types we s...


Backhouse Solicitors in Chelmsford, Essex: These redirects are an important service we think not enough lawyers pay attention to in order to protect their clients. So the fact Backhouse have only mentioned this statement tucked away on a separate section of the site is something we literally nod our heads in approv...


Beers LLP - Solicitors in Kingsbridge & Plymouth, Devon: class="infoquote "You have all been so efficient and made the whole process smooth running" "Always accessible for any queries or advice" "This was a much better experience than I have had with bigger firms in the past" "Both ladies professional, sympath...


Bell Lax Ltd - Solicitors in Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham: If one firm says 'established in 1991', whilst another says '30 years experience as a solicitor', and another says '30 years experience within the firm' - those are three totally different claims even though they sound the same. For all we know the poor rating is for somethi...


Bilkus and Boyle Solicitors & Estate Agents in Glasgow: We usually can't find specific pages on a firm but if you https: www.lawscot.org.uk find-a-solicitor ?Name=bilkus&Postcode=&type=firm" search a firm's name on their website< a> some information should pop up. It says 'established' without the exaggeration. Th...


BLZ Solicitors NIHL, PPI & Immigration Lawyers in Stockport: But on scrolling through the personal background information it quickly turns out to actually be quite relevant . Usually this does not affect compensation claims. One thing we have frequently quoted as a dislike on law firm's websites is the new wave of them sharing l...


Branch Austin McCormick LLP Solicitors in Mayfair, London: The main reason we dislike such claims is that typically a firm claiming to have hundreds of years history are doing so because they have nothing much else to boast about. There were also several comments about how fast the process had been whether for a property sale or imm...


Bridge McFarland LLP - Solicitors in Grimsby, Hull, Lincoln, Louth, and Market Rasen: If it was an award for best logo design, then that doesn't really help you as a potential client. The most common place people go to when looking up any firm is a search for reviews. class="infoquote "The firm ... There is also a huge difference between a firm ...

Woodstock Legal Services Ltd - Solicitors Law Practice in Poole: class="infoquote "impressed by the quality, professionalism and attention to detail" "kept fully updated along the way as well as offering great advice" "communication of where we were at with the process was crisp and timely"< div> Those are few snippets fr...


Brown & Co Solicitors in Greenwich, London: That's a lot of experience. Our poll from a few years back indicated that only 9% of you trusted testimonials provided by companies on their website. To check the individual experience amongst law professionals there is a great resource on The Law Society of England & Wal...


QualitySolicitors Burton & Co in Lincoln & Sleaford: To start off we should try to clarify that 'QualitySolicitors' is not an actual law firm with 100 locations. It doesn't stop there though. The age of the branding though whether pre or post QS signup is really unimportant though (in our opinion). It mainly discusses how...


Catteralls Solicitors in Wakefield: They stated as such on their about us page. If you look up reviews for Catteralls though on the third party sites, they also reflect the same very positive sentiments : class="infoquote "Efficient, professional and empathetic service" "very patient with my questi...


CEL Solicitors in Liverpool - Housing Disrepair, Knotweed, & Data Breach Claims: There are direct access barristers, non-law-firm based solutions, mediators - each with service providers local to you or at the opposite end of the country. The logos of each publication are there, but we couldn't see any links to click and confirm what it meant. cl...


Cooks Solicitors in Newcastle under Lyme & Stoke on Trent, Staffordshire: Put simply, if a firm is doing really badly or has a bad reputation in a local area - then the branding will be changed. But it stands out to us . When it comes to law firms though, we absolutely recommend that you read through the reviews and ignore any overall avera...


David Stinson & Co Personal Injury Solicitors in Aylesford, Kent: Plus they focus on a single area of law - personal injury. A lawyer who is expert in one can usually handle any of the others just as well. On the David Stinson & Co website there is https: www.davidstinson.co.uk testimonials" a page marked 'Testimonials'< a> but ...


DisrepairClaim.co.uk - Housing Disrepair Claims Company based in Brighouse, West Yorkshire: We've also detailed in other articles just how many high street solicitor firms also take a 25% cut of all compensation settlements. We've talked a lot before about 'specialist' law firms. (No pun intended.) class="infoquote "The compensation you can claim is ... ...


DV Solicitors (Deo Volente Legal LLP) Law Firm in Bedford & Luton: We've even had a negative review for contributing to the UK's 'capitalist regime'. There are titles such as 'How Brexit is going to Affect the Immigration Policies for the UK (2021)', 'Cryptocurrency and Wills', and 'How to Video-Witness a Will'. However these ancient ...


Dylan Nair Solicitors Ltd in Preston, Lancashire: We obviously read through dozens of law firm's websites every day and the similarties between the content and the claims each make to set themselves apart as 'unique' can often end up blurring for us. Nor do any of the hyphentated variants (dylan-nair) or typical typos (dyla...


Fair Result Ltd Divorce Settlement Mediation Services in Leicester: Typically it's only cases such as litigation where firms may do considerable work upfront with an aim to getting paid near the end of the case instead. We also know all the industry specific marketing jargon a lot of lawyers use. When we searched for 'fair result', 'fair res...


Frazer Coogans Ltd - Solicitors in Ayr, Prestwick & Glasgow: Watch out for Google ads though as some keyword matching ads did pop up for us on some of the mis-spellings. Would definitely use again" "Dealt with everything professionally and nothing was too much hassle"< div> These are snippets from the firm's own website, mor...


Fulton's Solicitors & Estate Agents in Clarkston & Mount Florida, Glasgow: Those few extra case types and the conveyancing make up the firm's full case range. For all we know they called Fultons about a divorce case and was refused representation. Don't just flick through star ratings. But if a firm states 'we have thirty years of combined experien...


Hawkridge & Company - Hawk Law Solicitors in Gillingham, Medway: But frankly, no law firm is going to advertise themselves as the opposite of these things. This firm is signed to The Law Society of England & Wales which is great because https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 473274 hawkridge-company-llp" they offer a huge range< ...


Hill House Chambers - Barristers Based in London: class="infoquote "Are you a solicitor looking for a barrister to instruct, or a member of the public looking for the right direct access barrister for your case, what should you be looking for?"< div> That snippet from the Hill House website is certainly a good s...

Stowe Family Law - Divorce Solicitors in Harrogate, York, Beverley & Other Locations: Fortunately or unfortunately depending on your view, some review boards https: www.google.com search?q=stowe+vamily+law+beverley&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB926GB926&oq=stowe+vamily+law+beverley&aqs=chrome..69i57j46i13i175i199.6641j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#lrd=0x4878c74319a85dd...


HooperHyde Business Law Solicitors in Solihull: Unfortunately that's not always easy when it comes to law firms. As stated above though, for legal services that should not be taken as a negative sign. Sometimes you don't need a solicitor. A quick note on navigation. There are many case types where people tend...


Jacobs Law Solicitors: What we do offer that's quite unique ( and hopefully therefore quite helpful amongst a sea of online commentary) is our experience and expertise at having worked within the legal industry for more than twenty years. There are many other overly used marketing terms such...


JPS Walker Solicitors Ltd in Manchester: The official website is currently www.jpswalker.co.uk but www.jpswalker.com does not redirect there.

Khan Law - Raees Khan Personal Injury Solicitor in Glasgow: We can which again only has basic information. That can make them sound very different from the public reviews and they are of course only ever po...


KRS Estate Planning Ltd - Will & Probate Advice in Leicester: There are even options to resolve matters without using a solicitor at all such as Mediation in divorce proceedings. (Those are some of the more common complaints we see about law firms in general on the web.) class="infoquote "A very caring gentleman who took time ou...


Lefevres Law Firm - Litigation Solicitors in Edinburgh, Glasgow & Aberdeen: It's like trying to find a dentist that will work on the NHS funding. (Yes, it's THAT bad.) So if you see a firm saying they handle cases under Legal Aid - that can really be an indication of some genuine underlying care about people and the law . The official website we li...


Mackenzie Jones Solicitors in St Asaph, Menai Bridge & Chester: and recommendations"< div> A quick note on navigation as the firm uses a shortened version for the web address. For example: class="infoquote "provide expert timely advice and communicate in a way that is clear and responsive to your requirements"< div> Ag...


Mckie Legal Solicitors in Penrith & St Helens (ConnectMeToaLawyer Ltd): The use of trading names is not something to worry about .

Michael Leighton Jones Solicitors in Bargoed & Tredomen, Wales: There is a firm call 'MLJ Legal Ltd' based in Hull, but at the moment searches including MLJ acronyms also brought up the michaelleightonjones website. For example, we did see one negative review about this firm on Google where the person gave one star and said simply that i...


Milners Law LLP Solicitors in Leeds, Harrogate & Pontefract: But it is something to bear in mind when looking at what other firms choose to boast about. Usually if we see a firm pushing the idea that they are better than other law offices simply because their branding is older - we tend to discover it's because that firm doesn't have ...


MJV & Co Solicitors Ltd - Law Firm in Thornton-Cleveleys, Blackpool: But one thing we did notice as a recurring theme across them all was 'Natalie' being named and thanked regularly. The first is simple. But it should be noted that some firms use less than clear language for such statements. The branding is mostly 'MJV Solicitors' but t...


My Law Matters from Fentimans - Solicitors in Wolverhampton, Manchester, Solihull & Waltham Cross: We've been writing law articles for over twenty years now and have therefore worked alongside hundreds of law firms in that time. class="infoquote "Our head office was established in 1986"< div> Compared to the huge number of legal offices claiming 'establi...


OneLaw Chambers - Solicitors, Barristers & Advocates in London: This is due to the fact most testimonials are obtained via some sort of post-service questionnaire. Practically every firm will claim to be friendly and modern. According to the law society website they have several trading names attached to them including OneLaw Solicitors,...


Pacific Law Estate Planning Solicitors in Manchester: Versus the other side proclaiming their distate for all things stuffy and blasting a thesaurus-worth of synonyms of the word 'modern' across their sales pages. You are just as likely to get a one year qualified solicitor from an ancient brand as you are to get a forty yea...


Penerley Commercial Lawyers in Islington, London: The quote above is from the website of a Commercial Law specialist called Penerley , based in Islington. Although https: www.theatlantic.com magazine archive 2020 05 kill-the-office-dress-code 609070 " there is one firm< a> that has a ban on their employees wearing...


Rose Fendlen Law - Solicitors in Wigan (Formerly LRose Law): So whilst an individual solicitor saying they are a specialist in Family Law, Wills, Injuries, Property and Criminal Law doesn't make a whole lot of sense - on this occasion it does. This is important because there are many websites on the internet designed to look like a ...


Richmond Legal Ltd Solicitors in Middleton, Manchester: That's because not all Immigration firms deal with clients the same.

Simper Law Ltd - Solicitors in Norwich & Great Yarmouth: Which makes it far more believable that a self-proclaimed "small firm" can have a decent level of expertise and experience in all of them.

Smith and Graham Solicitors in Hartlepool, Peterlee and Middlesbrough: So always read comments too.

Stenfield Ltd Solicitors in Norwich & Harrow on the Hill, London: We have niche practices, specialist consultants, barristers, and even non-law-firm related solutions to some problems such as debt or will writing.

Summerfield Browne Solicitors in London, Birmingham, Cambridge, Oxford, Market Harborough & Leicester: Plus, for the public boards things can get a little more complicated. The public reviews themselves are sometimes not very helpful either. Most firms will say they are modern with a unique setup. Sounds like the best of both worlds . Why not call us today for a free q...


Swain & Co Solicitors Ltd in Southampton, Liverpool & Havant: One reviewer for Swain & Co even ranted about how 'ugly' the staff were and that they should get rid of any mirrors. For a start there are hardly any law firms left willing to work under Legal Aid. We have over 200 firms in our database at the moment and only 22 of them...


Taylor Price Legal Ltd - Solicitors in Leeds & Levenshulme (Manchester): Great things to hear.

The Legal Practice Ltd - Solicitors in Rickmansworth & Wembley Park, Greater London: We don't recommend it just for this firm's website either, but for all law offices that handle property matters. For example searching for both Rickmansworth and Wembley London could provide a better overview. They typically provide any alternate trading names, all office lo...


Trojan Solicitors Ltd Immigration & Family Law in London: The legal services industry is a tough one for third party public review forums though because people are not as likely to discuss their experience of the legal system as easily as they share restaurant reviews. they won 'best company logo 1999'. class="infoquo...


Trust Inheritance Ltd Wills, Probate & Estate Planning in Weston-Super-Mare: For example Gillian Grinyer having qualified in 1980, Ekta Porter qualifying in 2010, right up to incredibly newbie Abraam Azir qualifying in 2021.

WH Law Ltd - Immigration Solicitors in Woking: However if they have seven solicitors and list seven specialist areas of law - that is still a very good choice to go for.
