ABS Lawyers Ltd Solicitors in Corby & Maghull, Liverpool: That doesn't mean we're just another directory with hundreds of high street firms competing for space on our pages. But I'm sure most of you are already aware about the wealth of review boards available these days such as Google Reviews, Trustpilot, Yelp, Yell, etc. If not, ...


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 official site we link to above is www.antonyhodari.co.uk but at the moment www.antonyhodari.com doesn't redirect there. The only c...


Argue & Co Legal - Allan Argue Personal Injury Solicitor in Glasgow: We've seen reviews posted by the opposing (losing) side in a case.

So when you see firms offering such on their...


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.

Bilkus and Boyle Solicitors & Estate Agents in Glasgow: For example, the review we saw criticising a Criminal Law firm for refusing to take on someone's Divorce case.

BLZ Solicitors NIHL, PPI & Immigration Lawyers in Stockport: You have to remember that your solicitor and their staff should be spending their time reading up on the newest matters in their field of expertise.

CEL Solicitors in Liverpool - Housing Disrepair, Knotweed, & Data Breach Claims: That's because legal professionals and law firms are not quite the same as your local restaurant, supermarket, or hairdresser.

DisrepairClaim.co.uk - Housing Disrepair Claims Company based in Brighouse, West Yorkshire: The second means that there are no fees to pay whether you win OR lose.

Fair Result Ltd Divorce Settlement Mediation Services in Leicester: Not every case requires a lengthy court process. In our opinion, the age of a legal brand is unimportant .

Reynolds Macdonald Solicitors in Hackney: If a firm tries to charge you to discuss an injury claim case, then move on to the next one quickly.

Trojan Solicitors Ltd Immigration & Family Law in London: The honest truth, however, is that you could end up with a 1-year-qualified solicitor from a 200-year-old firm. class="infoquote "In the fast changing, increasingly complex and highly politicised area of Immigration Law ..."< div> Again as a new firm who have chos...


Trust Inheritance Ltd Wills, Probate & Estate Planning in Weston-Super-Mare: For many case types people absolutely want a niche firm such as for Motor Offences, Immigration or Debt Recovery.
