Here's a few more of the articles our staff have generated. They provide useful info, commentaries, comparisons, links, samples, examples and more:

33 Legal Ltd | Claim Services in Preston & Manchester: No really!) The majority of the text on any law firm's website is going to sound similar to the next. The 2017 date only references when the company became "Limited". On the other hand whiplash claims against insurers are rarely contested, quick, easy to research prove,...


5 Essex Court Chambers & Partners - Barristers in London: Until recently, the public didn't have any say in this. Usually when we review a firm we have to use a lot of our experience such as knowledge of the relevant agencies the firm might be registered with, tracking down alternate names, pinning down previous brands, browsing th...


Aconveyancing Ltd in Tamworth & Shirley (Solihull): As we're dealing with property matters is it absolutely vital that you check and triple check the websites you go to and the emails you respond to. None of that seemed to apply to Aconveyancing's reviews. In law industry terms, that might sound quite young with so ...


Aina Khan Law Ltd - Family Law Solicitors in Broxbourne, London: Most legal professionals in the UK are signed up with some local Law Society. If you've already flicked through a dozen solicitor sites today, you've probably asked the same question - "Is the same person writing all of these?" The constant repetition of marketing jargon suc...


Allsop Durn Solicitors in Ruislip: Us included. Whilst it would obviously be impossible for us to come up with enough legal matters to truly test every firm we review - we certainly do our background checks and quite often get to know people at a firm before having them on board. Sometimes when looking for ne...


Apprise Legal Services - Wills, Trusts, Probate & Estate Planning in Sutton Coldfield: You will then be shown their case expertise and typically how many years each solicitor has been qualified for. Therefore it's perfectly understandable that the number of firms that specialise in handling more than just those template Wills is on the increase as well. We als...


APS Legal & Associates Ltd - Will Advisors and Assured Probate Services: class="infoquote "In this unregulated environment, we have aligned ourselves with the Institute of Professional Will Writers (IPW)."< div> . There are hundreds of will writing service providers advertising on the web that have never even attended a course, much less a...


Aspire Licensing & Administrative Services in Whitley Bay, Newcastle: Much more than a firm that only covers a handful of such cases each month as part of their general commercial legal work. Mostly due to having recieved an email that looked official telling them to change over and send the house deposit money to a totally different bank acco...


Auto Logistic Solutions Ltd - Vehicle Accident Management: Again (and it's terrible that we're having to point this out but) many insurers put a surcharge in insurance policies for 'legal services', making you pay upfront to use their solicitors if you ever have an accident. We plan on testing this out and writing a full review art...


Avery & Walters Ltd - Solicitors in Leeds & Harrogate: In this case, Avery Walters definitely has well-experienced staff and a well-established firm . Most solicitors in the UK are registered with them in their respective areas. If you read through some of the negative reviews though, one accuses them of 'racism' because they...


AWH Legal Ltd - AWH Solicitors in Manchester & Blackburn: For example, their staff profile pages are heavy on the personal information such as the solicitor's hobbies - but lacking in personal details such as direct email phone numbers. class="infoquote "We provide a free 15 minute initial consultation for all of our service...


Briffa Legal Ltd Intellectual Property (IP) Solicitors in London: They also seem to have had prior lives and professions where Intellectual Property protection would have been important to them personally. To top it off, they have a wide range of case studies on their site. It's really not. Finally managing to convince Briffa Leg...


CFG Law Personal Injury Solicitors in Cheadle, Greater Manchester: Any negative points? Well, thinking outside the box has resulted in us agreeing with at least 99% of CFG's mentality. If you've tripped on a paving slab and scraped your knee, or if you only had a sore neck for a couple of days after a car accident - they are unlikely to dum...


CSL Law Ltd Solicitors in Croydon: Hopefully this should also point out the folly of thinking that a firm stating "Establish 1813!" has 200+ years more experience over a firm created in 2013. We link to the official www.csllaw.co.uk above and there is no current website at www.csllaw.com or other tlds. There ...


DFA Law LLP Solicitors in Northampton: There are a few little touches around their site too that indicate a firm with a vested interest in their public perception. We guarantee you there is no 200-year-old solicitor sitting behind the desk of any law firm in the UK. Our experienced lawyers have the knowledge and ...


Driscoll Kingston Solicitors in Liverpool: It would look odd if they didn't. When you've finished scrunching up your eyebrows and narrowing your eyes at that last statement - let me explain. But specialists in any case type can only be a plus. We don't demand perfection from any firm but we do our regular chec...


Hammond Trotter Solicitors Ltd | Motor Offence Lawyers in Manchester & London: We first added Hammond Trotter Solicitors to our list of recommended firms back in 2015. Hammond & Trotter are not exactly cheap, but at least they'll listen to your circumstances for free before quoting you a price for whatever work they think is needed to resolve the mat...


Fieldfisher LLP Personal Injury Solicitors in Manchester & London: Even more odd was the comment about them having 'very understanding traffic wardens'. The firm has merged with others over the years including Martineau and Reid, Waterhouse & Co, Allison & Humphreys, etc. Not only that, they even have their own Wikipedia page. Such fi...


Frank Rogers Law Ltd - Motoring Offence Solicitor in Birkenhead: This should be stated clearly on their website. So if you do ever see a law firm with only a handful of reviews - we don't think you should take that as a negative sign. class="infoquote "I have represented clients facing prosecution for driving offences throughout Eng...


GloverPriest Solicitors Ltd in Birmingham (Great Barr), Stourbridge, Wellingborough & Tamworth: For more details on the plague of conveyancing scams, just search for "lost my house deposit to scammers" in the news. class="infoquote "GloverPriest have a wealth of experience and expertise in representing our valued clients, in personal and business legal matters, i...


HH Law Ltd - Hampson Hughes Solicitors in Liverpool: For example, we've always made our thoughts about 'online compensation calculators' very clear. However there is a host of possible misspellings using 'Hamson' or 'Hughs' by accident. However, even though Hampson Hughes has one of these on their site - they do state a focus ...


Helix Law Ltd - Solicitors in Brighton & Eastbourne: Or they may actually copy paste positive comments made on other forums such as Google, Trustpilot, Yell.com or Yelp. Why is that of note? Because any effort to provide free information to people is a good indication of a firm's general mindset. It's not a foolproof syste...


HJA.net - Hodge Jones & Allen LLP Solicitors in London: We list firms that process £millions in cases. The downsides of constantly changing staff and leadership can be easily seen in how our government is run. For example, solicitors typically don't get a lot of online reviews in the same way local shops or online ser...


Howe + Co Solicitors in Brentford, London: Gushingly so on occasions, as I'm guessing they were in relation to situations such as immigration where people can feel literally in the middle of life death struggles. The firm did have testimonials on their website as well but at the time of us viewing they were ...


R James Hutcheon Solicitors - Law Firm in Liverpool: reviews that have clearly been posted by the company themselves. Unfortunately, the bits and pieces that we think are really important are often a couple of pages in, only hinted at, or sometimes not even mentioned at all. For example if a site says 'with 40 years experienc...


Ian Mallon Solicitors Ltd in Newry and Dublin: class="infoquote "All individual email addresses for each member of staff is in our Meet The Team section above."< div> The fact Ian Mallon list direct contact details for each staff member on their website is a much bigger deal than you might think and somethin...


IWC Estate Planning & Management Ltd - Probate & Will Services in Croydon, Bristol & Braintree: Obviously these days many services can be provided without you ever having to visit the offices of the legal service provider you choose. class="infoquote "There are various of ways to contact us, including Telephone, Skype, Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp, BBM, Mail, Web...


Jarmans Solicitors Ltd in Sittingbourne, Kent & Chancery Lane, London: Jarmans even ended up saving me more money through good advice ..." < div> In all honesty, there aren't many downsides we could spot and only two worth mentioning. Our clients receive City of London expertise at Kentish rates."< div>. Unfortunately most solicitors are fo...


Joanna Connolly Solicitors in Liverpool, Merseyside: For consumer credit disputes, they also list themselves as consumer credit specialists, helping consumers when court proceedings are either being threatened or already issued. Make sure to ask and discuss in depth how and when the solicitor taking your case expects to get pa...


Kings View Chambers, London with Stephen McCaffrey & Catherine Stock: A barrister has to be qualified to do so, but being able to hire a barrister directly to represent your interests in court can save both time and money for a huge range of cases where a solicitor would usually have to hire someone on your behalf. So why have we sought out ...


Kudos Legal Ltd Solicitors in Glasgow and Preston: If you visit https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation people 592260 kudos-legal-limited?Solicitors=True" the page for this firm< a> you'll see the qualified solicitors of their Preston office listed including everything from the 2009 qualified Yasin Bagas, right u...


Lawcomm Solicitors Services in Fareham, Whiteley & London: Their official website that we've linked to above is www.lawcomm.co.uk and it's an https secure site. That will provide you better details about their expertise and experience. If you look up https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation people 591051 lawcommercial-trad...


Leech & Co Solicitors Ltd in Manchester: You can contact us by e-mail, telephone, SKYPE or Facetime and we can offer a home appointment if required." < div> This facility certainly separates old-school thinking solicitors from the more modern, client-focused firms. So when Leech & Co are writing blog articles e...


Levins Solicitors in Huyton, Liverpool: If you read the actual comments for a firm rather than just checking star ratings, you can usually tell the people with a genuine complaint versus those that just wanted things to have gone a bit quicker. class="infoquote "Our reputation for solid and reliable pr...


Lindsays Solicitors Offices in Edinburgh, Glasgow & Dundee: A quick note on navigation. New blood with a steady hand is an enviable mix for any firm you might be thinking of using. Lindsays deal with many cross border issues so have to deal with English law when it comes to things such as property sales. class="infoquote ...


Linkilaw Solicitors Ltd: The flip side of this is that many commercial law firms can seem unapproachable regarding the smaller details of having your own business. Linkilaw is one of them and Linkilaw Solicitors is their newest version. You never know where the next scam might come from th...


Alexander JLO Solicitors - AJLO in London, Birmingham, Chelmsford, Norwich & Liverpool: But on the whole, firms that are comfortable displaying their team's experience, expertise and direct contact details are not just creating a more open and friendly dynamic with potential clients - but also confirming the capabilities of the firm as a whole. This is not one...


Mason Bullock CCJ & Employment Solicitors in Coventry: The reason we point out common errors is because of how easy it is for people to think they are on the correct site or being emailed from an official address when they are not. class="infoquote "most of our cases can be dealt with successfully via phone and email...


MGBe Legal Immigration Lawyers in London: class="infoquote "I’ve been so lucky to find such an extraordinary professionalism and human availability, in helping me for several video calls, even the day before Xmas, for applying across the newest and complex Work Permit forms for EU citizens before Brexit, the ...

McEwan Fraser Legal Property Conveyancing in Edinburgh, Aberdeen & Inverness: Either way www.mcewanfraser.co.uk and www.mcewanfraser.com are also not currently being used. If anyone emails or phones you about payments or bank details - do not respond. We tried it with a few of our own home addresses and the quotes were in the ball park. class=...


MTA Personal Injury Solicitors LLP in Bromley, Kent - Greater London: (That's actually a really depressing statistic but we'll leave that discussion for another day.) So aside from the negative side-effects of the cold-calling scam detailed above - what are people saying about the firm on the third party forums such as Trustpilot, Google, Ye...


NV Legal Ltd Personal Injury Solicitors in Watford: Also, there aren't many scams targeting personal injury claimants at the moment. As the branding efforts by the firm are clear and consistent , there shouldn't be many obvious alternatives or common errors cropping up such as 'nvlaw' or 'nvsolicitors'. They're mostly https...


OJ Solicitors Ltd English & Romanian Solicitors in Glasgow: He always went the extra mile for myself and my family." "Cel mai bun Avocat din Scoția"< div> These are some reviews from the public review boards. Just make sure to read the comments and not just flick through star ratings. OJ Solicitors is a good examp...


OTS Solicitors Ltd Immigration & Family Law in London, UK: class="infoquote "OTS Solicitors is one of the UK's leading law firms located in the City of London."< div> No matter how many law websites you've already dug through today, you'll have seen such a statement on all of them. A quick note on navigation. So not...

Reid Black Solicitors Ltd in Belfast, Antrim & Ballyclare: The Law Society of England & Wales also have a much better website than most Law Societies, with a wealth of user-side information. Northern Ireland, like much of here in the celtic-relative land of Scotland, has a couple of large population centres with most others spread...


Penn Chambers Ltd - Solicitors in London: You could end up with a 40-year experienced solicitor at a 1-year-old law firm, or a 1-year-experienced solicitor from a 40-year-old law firm. Not all barristers are able to take instructions from members of the public. Of course, finding them is the tricky part. class...


Pump Court Chambers Direct Access Barristers in London, Swindon & Winchester: Statements like the one above are displayed on practically every legal firm's website. The fact Pump Court Chambers state a target demographic of their local area is a good sign (to us at least) that they do not overstretch themselves or want to provide lower quality s...


RD Costings Ltd - Criminal Injury Claims based in Portishead: This may sound like a reasonable fee at first. Two of our staff worked on such cases for years including CICA matters.) But if firm took on a lot of less simple cases such as medical negligence, uninsured drivers, or criminal injury matters - then the 25% commission i...


Redwood Collections Ltd - Debt Recovery Services based in Croydon: No disrepect meant to the many law firms that handle debt collection, but using a firm that is solely built to handle this single case type does generally provide more speedy results. class="infoquote "Commission is only charged upon successful collections. The usual t...


Robin Somerville Direct Access Barrister & Mediator in Barnet, Greater London: But you never know what might be thought of next so make sure you are on the correct website and never discuss bank details via email. Whilst there may be some common typos regarding the last name, the few we tried still brought up the correct website in search results. We t...


RSR Law Ltd in Croydon: ;) class="infoquote "RSR Law Ltd's focus is on getting you, our client, the best possible outcome for your case in a timely and stress free manor [sic]."< div>. There are also websites at www.rsrltd.co.uk and www.rsrltd.com but those are different firms as well. The us...


SBW Law Ltd - Solicitors in Liverpool: People have ended up handing over tens of thousands of pounds of their house deposit to fraudsters sometimes based on a single email telling them the bank details have changed. It's not a perfect system on any of the review forums, so make sure you do your best to filter the...


Serious Law LLP - Serious Injury Law Solicitors in Bolton: class="infoquote "We are the firm of choice for many other legal professionals who recognise our depth of expertise in catastrophic cases."< div> You can always check https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 473855 serious-law-llp" The Law Society's< a> websi...


Simons Rodkin Solicitors LLP in London, Finchley & Hatfield: A quick note on navigation. We also saw that neither www.srlaw.co.uk or the .com redirected you to the correct site. That last snippet for example indicates that whoever took the reviewer's call must have listened properly and for some time . But as they deal in proper...


Taborns Legal Business - Will Taborn Ltd in London: But Taborns has a very different approach to business law compared to the regular City-based commercial law firms. class="infoquote "We assemble the most efficient legal team for your specific needs; by combining the most suitable people for the matter at hand we cen...


The Injury Solicitor Ltd - Road Accident Claims in Salford, Manchester: If you've used our legal help search service before or read any of our articles on law firms, you'll know we like to detail a range of firms. We should briefly discuss this statement more generally though: class="infoquote "All claims are handled on a No Win No Fee bas...


The Johnson Partnership Solicitors in Nottingham, Sheffield, Doncaster & Derby: Again, when trying to search for their largest piece of coverage by Channel 4 entitled "Partners in Crime" - there is nothing but information about the far more recent David Walliams drama from the BBC that shares the same name. So coming back to what I said at the star...


Thorpe Wilson Ltd Solicitors in Rochdale: So context is key. On the Law Society website and the firm's own footer notes you'll see that the firm can go by Thorpe Wilson Ltd or Thorpe Wilson Solicitors. For example, Asda do not 'specialise' in Cereal, Milk, Chocolate, Underwear, Toys and Bottled Water. The Law Societ...


TSABI Ltd - The Solicitors Advocates & Barristers Inc in Southall, London & Slough: For example, the last firm we reviewed had a lot of negative comments about how clients were constantly passed over to secretaries and junior staff rather than the solicitor that was meant to be in charge of the case. We also recommend that if someone calls you to discuss mo...


White Collar Legal & Admin Ltd in Wirral, Merseyside: Okay, so the following is not my most objective or impartial review of a firm. He has Specialist Paralegal Qualifications in Civil Litigation and Personal Injury, holding a general practising certificate as a Tier 4 Member of the http: ppr.org.uk " Professional Paralega...
