TSABI Ltd Solicitors: So just pay attention to where you are and what you type in. It avoids stagnation and (considering how stuffy law firms can be) having young blood on the team is often the only way forward.

Thorpe Wilson Ltd: There is an injured party who needs to get compensation from a third party or a third party's insurer. However the list above is actually a genuine specialist list because most of those case types come under the umbrella term of Litigation. So how can you tell which might...
Allsop Durn Dearlove: We geniunely, 100%, not-making-it-up had a solicitor at one firm say to us "The Internet? No, we don't do that." Naturally, we have not recommended that firm to people.

Will Taborn Ltd:
Unfortunately, despite the firm having been running for some years now - there weren't any public reviews we could find on the regular review boards. Never more than a handful of law practices within the same area covering the same case types.

Hutcheon Law Solicitors:
One thing we're not very fond of are compensation calculators. There is an unbelievably huge number of personal injury firms out there. We think they can be very misleading and they reduce the claims to simply being a money-fixes-everything mentality which we're agains...
Penn Chambers Ltd: It doesn't have as much information regarding the firm and obviously has different contact information. If you use up the hour asking questions you could have had the answers to for free online - then that's money down the drain. You could end up with a 40-year experienced s...
Frank Rogers Motoring Solicitor: One for Scotland, one for England Wales, and one for Northern Ireland as each has quite separate legal setups.

OJ Solicitors Glasgow: For example, if a firm does not actually state Medical Negligence as a case type they handle and have at least a few paragraphs talking about it - it would be best to move on to the next firm.

Newry's McShanes Law Firm: Fee quotations are focused not just on price, but on speed. There are four at the time of writing this. McShanes claim such a reputation but (thankfully) do not cover their website with crass stories about the, often uncommon, super-large payouts achieved.
