Finding the Right Help in the UK
Penn Chambers Ltd: One thing that made us feel a certain kinship with this particular law firm was their T&Cs section. You can usually find other information such as the practice's case range, staff, other offices, alternative contact details and so on. It doesn't have as much informatio...
Frank Rogers Motoring Solicitor: We've linked to the official site www.frankrogerslaw.co.uk above. class="infoquote "Notices of Intended Prosecution can be defective and if you do not understand how to deal with them, you can end up with points on your licence that could have been avoided."< di...
OJ Solicitors Glasgow: Whilst there are hundreds of law firms proudly stating 'established in 1881' - it is impossible for there to be a 150-year-old solicitor sat behind a desk imparting his knowledge to the rest of the staff. A one-year-old firm might have twenty-year-experienced solicitors on s...
Kudos Legal Solicitors: There didn't seem to be a website for the London based Kudos Law Ltd. The official www.kudoslegal.co.uk website is linked to above and www.kudoslegal.com does not redirect to it. We would hope that the firm's ethos carries across the company as a whole though: cl...
Serious Injury Law Solicitors: A good mix of seasoned experience along with fresh minds and ideas. We manage their affairs to provide them with a future that is financially secure."< div> Naturally with such generic terms in the company name we did some digging about navigation. Serious injuries are...
5 Essex Court Chambers & Partners: There is a also a full list of the barristers available along with their experience and expertise. However this actually makes it much harder to find client reviews of the firm. To have such a great industry reputation certainly puts them head and shoulders above many whil...
Avery & Walters Ltd: (The latter being the actual registered parent name of the firm.) The Harrogate office is trading as Powell Eddison Solicitors. I would highly recommend them"< div>
Sadly review boards can be manipulated both ways - i.e. It's a very serious problem and with so many va...
AWH Legal Ltd: Again though, this will not count for many case types such as injuries and medical negligence which you won't have to pay anything up front at all. Whilst most scammers tend to target conveyancing firms, you never know what's around the corner.. Or you could end up speaking ...
HH Law Ltd: We've done our share of claimant interviews, and it's not uncommon to have someone try to tell you they've been emotionally-scarred-for-life by a two week whiplash injury.
class="infoquote "We can help secure access to expert rehabilitation services to ensure that you ...
Lawcommercial Trading Ltd: It's not as though there are some 200-year experienced solicitors sitting behind any of the desks. Neil Woolgar qualified back in 1982, David Roper in 1991, and Kelly Pragnell in 2010. They are not always 100% in control but quite often take 100% of the blame. Far too often ...
Redwood Collections Ltd: I was very pleased with the outcome ..."< div>
Oddly the vast majority of the reviews are positive on Google, Yelp, Yellow Pages and others. Redwood Collections is a debt collection firm based in Croydon. VERY fast turnaround ..."
"I had a long standing debt that I...
AJLO Solicitors: So how does Alexander JLO stack up? They have an excellent mix of experience and fresh blood, with qualifying dates ranging from 1975 (Peter Johnson) and 1998 (Daniel Mills) right up to 2013 (Matthew Johnson) and 2017 (Morgan Nicholas).
The firm's website ticks al...
GloverPriest Solicitors Ltd: on the ball the entire time, no stone left unturned. We've gone in depth on this issue in other articles (site search box below) however in short - Conveyance firms will always have far more negative reviews than firms in other areas of law.
We've seen negative reviews...
Jarmans Solicitors Sittingbourne: Obviously never discuss payment matters via email, and we'll have a last word from the firm:
class="infoquote "We think outside the box and punch above our weight to deliver top-notch advice and solutions to any legal issue. all followed a similar schedule too.
Mo...
My 33 Legal Limited: But if everyone is saying the same - what can you check to see what separates them? Not alot of people realise that there is a much more official way to see complaints about a firm than just skimming through Google reviews. Even Medical Negligence and Criminal Injury cases...
Hammond Trotter Solicitors Ltd: The website we link to above is www.drivingdefences.co.uk with the .com version working (www.drivingdefences.com) but only displaying and linking to the main site. The usual suspects such as Yellow Pages, Yelp, TrustPilot and so on show dozens of comments providing high pra...
Driscoll Kingston Solicitors: Anyway, back to this firm:
class="infoquote "98% of our Personal Injury Claims are on a no win no fee basis which means there is no financial risk to you"< div>
Some case types such as difficult medical negligence cases won't be able to be covered by a no win, no ...
SBW Lawyers Ltd:
We wouldn't recommend seeing such as a sticking point though. For example, here is a single sentence from the SBW Law website. First:
class="infoquote "Founded in 2006"< div>
Considering a huge number of law firms like to boast ancient founding dates such as...
IWC Estate Planning & Management Ltd: You have to be pretty confident in your customer service to do such a thing when it comes to legal matters. So seeing IWC offer limited extra hours on a Saturday might not look like much compared to your local hairdresser, restaurant, or supermarket - but it is something ...
Briffa Intellectual Property Solicitors: With Briffa though, there's bucket loads. Most people won't bother clicking the 'Blog' link on commercial websites because typically that's exactly what they are - i.e. It's as if they knew exactly what we look for in a firm, and did it.
Any negatives? I don't like th...
Helix Law Solicitors: Again, this is rarer than you would think and another very positive point for Helix Law as a firm that goes beyond.
A quick note on navigation because, as you can see, the official website of the firm is hyphenated - www.helix-law.co.uk - with the www.helixlaw.co.uk v...
Leech and Co Solicitors Ltd: Apparently there are over 2000+ such locations across the UK so I imagine the majority of solicitors dealing with Wills, Court of Protection and Power of Attorney matters are aware of them. Because of the UK tld this can result in www.leechandco.uk type errors (which we see ...
Joanna Connolly Solicitor Advocates: They do not act for banks or lending institutions, allowing them a clear focus on one side of the fence. For example, a loan may prove to be unenforceable in the courts by a creditor if hidden commissions have been paid without your knowledge, payment protection insurance (P...
CFG Law: (No really, a lot of firms do that.) If you go to the Managing Director, Alastair Fernie's, profile you'll read that he:
class="infoquote "... We will help to arrange housing modifications and adaptations or find appropriate alternative accommodation to aid discharge ...
Hodge Jones and Allen Solicitors: Another factor could be that Patrick Allen founded the firm in 1977 and still runs it 40+ years on . Even if you’re not sure that your circumstances warrant legal action, it’s always worth discussing the matter with a member of our team to see what your options might be."< ...
CSL Law Croydon: It's universally understood that people are more inclined to scour the web for places to leave a review if they've received bad service. Certainly there are plenty of places for such people to air their grievances. Impressively their FAQs section is not a list of fake questi...
RSR Law Croydon: Then in the next it was "First Aid. Contact. ;)
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>. All will be explained prior to entering into any agreement."< d...
Johnsons Solicitors Nottingham: This is the kind of contact you'll probably not want to be faffing around trying to find details for when the time comes.. Often clients were not told of the substitution.
class="infoquote "We have experienced teams of criminal defence solicitors in all of our offices...
Autologistic Solutions Limited: No bake sales for charity covered in the local newspaper, etc.
Hopefully those descriptions have helped you generally, not just for understanding what this particular firm does. Other than that, the site talks alot about https: www.get4sight.co.uk " their 4Sight app...
Philip Nam White Collar Legal: site's owner is a private businessman, the website is a Limited company, and there isn't much readily available information as to what being 'approved' actually means?) As White Collar themselves are also a Ltd company though, there is lots of public information available su...
Stephen McCaffery & Catherine Stock: So what about the barristers themselves?
Stephen McCaffrey is Head of Chambers at Kings View Chambers having become a barrister in 2007. (If you haven't read any articles on fake solicitor email scams - find one and get aware.) It has always been a popular idea among...
Kings Court Trust Probate: Obviously there would have been a lot of changes soon after becoming an ABS, not least because capital investors Smedvig http: www.smedvigcapital.com smedvig-capital-backs-second-abs-kings-court-trust " plunged £4million< a> into the firm just a few years back. Agai...
EHL Solicitors UK: But the pages about case types, how they work, staff and so on are also just as extensive.
Their case range is just as wide, with help offered in Conveyancing, Right to Buy, Remortgaging, Probate, Contested Probate, Lasting Power of Attorney, Wills, Trusts, Family Law,...
Davey Law: It uses one of the new .expert extensions. He is also on the Law Society's Personal Injury Panel since 1999, and was a key-note speaker at the Cambridge Medico-Legal conference. We cannot stress enough the importance of using a firm that states expertise and experience in s...
Meresbrook Pollard Ltd: Have we been wrong before? Yes. Of course, that could have been cleared up by the time you read this, but unfortunately the fact that their website is not mobile friendly and uses Flash is something of note considering how prolific the use of these devices are.. The two prim...
Balfour and Manson Solicitors: And the office in Carden Place is perfect for us, right in the heart of the city's business area." < font>
In our opinion, the highest possible profile case for Balfour Manson in the Aberdeenshire region came when they were instructed by Donald Trump to try and block th...
MurrayHay Solicitors: They have 25 years behind them in the area, which will have given them plenty of time to have a wide, loyal, local client base. Read our other reviews of firm's websites and you'll see that we rarely have "ooh!" responses to them. To finish it off, we spotted this statement:...
Thompsons Solicitors Glasgow: The web address we link to above is www.thompsons-scotland.co.uk, which sure enough is the one that shows up if you search for Thompsons Solicitors in Scotland. So what are people saying on the public boards?
class="infoquote • "Mr White was very efficient, al...
Alison Ashworth Solicitors: 'loopholes'. but we'll get to that ...

Jackson and Lees Solicitors: The number of staff has doubled, with nearly 300 people employed by the firm at the time of writing. In 2011, they merged with another Liverpool firm, creating the largest criminal defence team on Merseyside. Some did seem unsolicited:

Accident Claims Scotland: But there are sometimes fees if the case wins. However, before the 1to1Legal brand came into being, we ran a similar but different service referring people to solicitors. For almost a decade now, we've only ever allowed actual law firms on our panel for people to search fo...
Lambert Pugh Conveyancing Solicitors: However, don't assume that Will writing is a simple process. All of them returned an error and some had not even been bought yet. So whilst we checked the www.lambertpugh.com version, we also checked the www.lambert-pugh.co.uk and www.lambert-pugh.com versions. Their testimo...
Newry's McShanes Law Firm: McShanes claim such a reputation but (thankfully) do not cover their website with crass stories about the, often uncommon, super-large payouts achieved. The name on its own will take you to different companies (i.e. Established in 1973, McShanes is one of the leading legal f...
Taylor Rose Solicitors Limited TTKW:
Taylor Rose MW actually started off as a bit of a conundrum for us.
When considering whether we should recommend this particular firm to people , the first thing we noticed was that they didn't seem to have the greatest scores on common review sites. It's just ...
Atkinson Rose (Amit Patel) Employment Solicitors: Some are not so directly relevant but simply give an impression of the type of people they are, such as writing articles for the rightsinfo.org website or speaking three different languages.
Second, are there any features offered by specialists that you tend not to see...
BarristerDirect Ltd based in Manchester: They aim to explain clearly the merits and risks of a case with you up front. They handle all the usual types of accident claims such as road traffic accidents, public liability claims, slips and falls, accidents at work, and more.

Brearleys Solicitors Brighouse: However, many people prefer a more local presence for other case types such as divorce or property matters. The newer testimonials near the top of the page are undated, but few provide any extra insight into the firm beyond the usual "very happy" type sentiments.

Anupamah Huneewoth Solicitors: Information and statements like these are crucial to putting a potential client's mind at ease, and show a level of client understanding.

RJGill Solicitors: On it's own, many people mistake the phrase no win, no fee as meaning there are no fees at all. Now a dozen years later the firm has relocated to Skelmersdale and has around 20 staff. Local and national, specialist and general law, large and small. Either way, it's probably ...
