Jarmans Solicitors Sittingbourne: She was completely professional and sensitive throughout the process, keeping me updated on progress regularly. When we first started reviewing law firms 20+ years ago, that was standard because solicitors basically were open the same times as courts. We checked several vari...
My 33 Legal Limited: As if following their local solicitor is something anyone outside the industry gets excited about. So the fact 33 Legal (or any law firm for that matter) has only a handful or even zero reviews about them - doesn't indicate anything negative. I still feel that the extra bits...

SBW Lawyers Ltd: We've also seen an immigration firm get 5-star reviews for it's wonderful food (we assume because they have a name associated with a local eatery). Typically people tend to check out only the public reviews of service providers when researching them. To be clear, 'no win, no...
IWC Estate Planning & Management Ltd: There are very specific pieces such as "The Chain of Representation" or "A Precatory Trust". In divorces, it wouldn't be uncommon for both sides to end up disappointed with their solicitor.

Briffa Intellectual Property Solicitors: Roughly it's about half and half right now. It's an awkward shape and the colours are too pale to display around our site easily.

Helix Law Solicitors: Even on search engines you may find one word extra or wrong will bring up quite different results. If people are reading the firm's website, the first thing they want to know is - 'do you handle my case?' Helix Law does have a similar style intro to most firms:

RSR Law Croydon:
Hopefully you'll now see why we thought this firm would be a good addition to the 1to1Legal network - e.g. Other funding options are available, such as a fixed fee agreement, meaning you pay no unexpected costs. So is it a new firm with little experience? No, becau...
Johnsons Solicitors Nottingham:

Philip Nam White Collar Legal: Some firms definitely try too hard to be trendy whilst others almost regress, focusing on their 200+ year history and their founder Mr William Whittington-Smith-Smythe III.

Those are the three that stood out and which we feel give you a good overview of ho...
Brearleys Solicitors Brighouse: Individual solicitors somehow claiming 'specialism' in multiple areas of law, increasingly more so. We use the Legal Ombudsman's report a lot in the work we do, and if there is one important thing we've learned: law firms with good reputations can drop the quality of their s...
Law in Cornwall Ltd: www.lawincornwall.co.uk was the web address we were provided by the firm and www.lawincornwall.com is owned by another firm. They can work on appropriate claims under a Conditional Fee Agreement, a.k.a. 'No win no fee' is not the same thing as '100% compensation', despite bo...

MacLachlans Solicitors Gillingham: A lot of the cliches and common exaggerations we see on most firm's websites are happily missing. This distinction is not always made clear.

Countrywide Property Lawyers Ltd: That's not a negative feature, it's just that generic statements don't always help when deciding to use a firm.
