David Stinson & Co Solicitors: class="infoquote "We work on road accident claims and workplace accident claims among others on a no win no fee basis."< div> All law offices that handle injury compensation claims should provide free initial consultations. That can be a trickier claim to navigat...
Cook's Solicitors: That's why there is only a small "Y" in the corner of the Cooks Solicitor logo rather than changing the name completely. They are certainly meaningless, but also often completely tenuous too. 99.9999% of people involved in a property sale (obviously exaggerating for effect b...
Swain and Co Solicitors: class="infoquote "Thank you so much for all you have done for me." "I can't praise Swain & Co and Dean Kingham enough." "I would like to thank you really very very much from the bottom of my heart for your work." "Thank you so much for the care and atten...
Fentimans My Law Matters: Bad firms will tend to just close down and start up a brand new operation to make sure they get completely away from the negative press. Either way we would still recommend bookmarking the correct site because the firm deals with property which has become a huge target...
Frazer Coogans Solicitors: We would imagine that having a mix of ages, genders, and experience levels is an enviable position for any company that deals with direct client services. For Personal Injury matters you should never have to pay anything up front or during the case at all. . The offi...
Burton & Co Quality Solicitors:
So Yates and Co became QualitySolicitors Yates and Co. It's meant to convey 'quality' services with minimum levels expected amongst all members such as flexible hours for appointments, free initial consultations , and so on.

One Law Solicitors & Barristers: This allowed clients to pursue cases against negligent third parties without having to be afraid of huge legal bills at the outset or if their case loses.

A quick note on na...
Beers Solicitors LLP: Whilst most of the time people may think of specialist firms as handling only one area of law such as Criminal or Divorce matters - these days it is very common for a firm to cover a wider range of case types but simply have individual solicitors within the group assigned ...
Disrepair Claims UK:
We've also detailed in other articles just how many high street solicitor firms also take a 25% cut of all compensation settlements.
Typically we don't add claims management companies to our network. To fix those missing floor boards. There are several good reasons...
Simper Law: At Simper Law they have legal professionals from each of the last three decades available.
class="infoquote "Between them, our solicitors have around 50 years' experience in law, and are passionate about working with all types of clients, both personal and commercial....
RM Solicitors: there are plenty of other firms using those two initials. However the term is being used correctly in this instance. So if a legal service provider has few or even zero reviews, don't take it as a negative sign .
class="infoquote "We have dealt with a wide variety ...
Ullah Law Associates: However this article on ULA Solicitors was nice and straightforward. It states Julian Groombridge qualified as a solicitor in 1998, Mohammed Ullah in 2004, Ines Azreyek-Diab in 2013, and others. It has not kept up with the rise in regular inflation fees at all. We've been to...
Taylor Price Legal Ltd:
If you typically just look at star ratings when researching companies online, it's something you shouldn't do when it comes to law firms. For example, if you saw a negative review for Burger King saying 'they wouldn't sell me a pizza!' - you'd think the reviewer was nut...
Michael Leighton Jones Solicitors:
Because the firm deals with conveyancing matters we would recommend bookmarking the site or using a search to make sure you get back safely. They provide a wealth of user-side data including all office locations, other trading names used, languages spoken, as well as...
Milners Law LLP: For example, it looked like one was by a law student who got turned down for a job. With any firm offering free consultations, it's always best if you can meet with the actual lawyer who would then be going on to run your case..
class="infoquote "Our partners have amas...
KRS Wills & Probate: There are a few other things that stand out about this firm over others as well.
class="infoquote "whilst everybody understands the importance of making a Will, statistics show that 2 3rds of us do not get around to preparing one"< div>
All those changes and optio...
Branch Austin McCormick Solicitors: As mentioned before, such a huge range of seasoned professionals mixed with fresh legs and ideas has not been seen by us in over twenty years of working with law firms. There were also several comments about how fast the process had been whether for a property sale or immi...
Trojan Solicitors:
A quick note on navigation.
That's not to say there weren't things we weren't so keen on. Since Brexit, having a lawyer with genuine enthusiasm and care for immigration matters is not just beneficial - but practically imperative. So when you see very few or even...
Cheshire Estates and Legal Ltd: It can also be hard to tell the various options apart at first glance with so many firms using trading names or practically identical looking websites. So, claim absolutely verified. That's something we see a lot of when firms claim to be 'award-winning' too and it makes us...
Fultons Estate Agents:
class="infoquote "With our estate agency and property conveyancing teams under one roof, we offer a seamless transition from initial valuation and marketing through negotiation and conclusion of the contract to the conveyancing and settlement of the sale or purchase."...
Hooper Hyde Solicitors: But they're understandably less likely to share their experiences about a messy divorce, criminal charges they are facing, or suing their employer for sexual harassment. We currently showcase the regular high-street-style solicitors people have come to expect, as well as s...
Antony Hodari Legal Services:
We always recommend taking a quick look at the local law society page for any firm you're thinking of using. But the name is so unique that if you type 'anthony hodari' into a search the correct firm still pops up. You might also see claims such as 'combined experience...
Fair Result Divorce:
The only issue with being a new firm is the lack of consumer reviews for people to flick through yet. With the generic words in the brand name and the hyphenation, there are obviously dozens of other possibilities not to mention common typos with double lettered middle...
Dylan Nair Ltd Solicitors: Of course some firms have started putting their pet's names and favourite foods in profiles. So whilst someone might be very quick to jump online and talk about a pizza they just ordered - they may be more reluctant to discuss how well their dead father's contentious proba...
Mckie Legal Solicitors Ltd:
It's not unusual for solicitors to have one or two trading names on the side.
We couldn't find any public reviews on McKie Legal at the time of writing this. But to be honest, in the legal industry it's very common for solicitors to move to larger populations to in...
Jacobs Law Solicitors: For example:
class="infoquote "Established in 2013, Jacobs Law Solicitors specialise in advising and supporting individuals, small companies and multi-nationals in the UK."< div>
This may seem like a standard opener on the Jacobs Law website, but to us it shows a...
Allan Argue and Co Solicitors: We've seen a criminal defense firm insulted for not taking someone's divorce case. There isn't even a stand alone page of information for most Scottish law firms on the Law Society site.
They make a further point about this on the Argue & Co website:

Springle Solicitors: Then on top of that, families are much further away from the stereotypical husband wife 2.6 children arrangement of old. As well as ensuring the advice you get is from a qualified and experienced professional. The dog's ... Every client relationship matters to us."< div>

BLZ Solicitors Ltd: Their site is https secure though so entering your information on the contact form should be fine.
This is where the balancing act in your brain can get a little wobbly. So if they take a few shortcuts in the marketing department - that's perfectly fine. But you neve...
Hawkridge & Co Solicitors: Because we spotted a few negative comments that were followed by Hawkridge & Co stating that person was not a client of theirs. Some examples, for this firm you'll see David Johncock qualified in 1981, Tristan Alder in 2004, and Michael Oduwole in 2012. Very often a bunch of...

ABS Lawyers Ltd: Sometimes based on just a couple of official looking emails telling them to suddenly switch to paying their huge house deposit into a completely different bank account. However you should notice the 'translated' note next to those. That doesn't mean we're just another direct...
Stenfield Solicitors Ltd: If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation offices 597818 stenfield-limited" check out the page< a> for any firm on their site you'll be shown any alternative trading names, the various office locations available, staff details, what case types they specialis...

As mentioned before, the number of...
Deo Volente Legal: Most interesting to us though are the qualifying dates of the legal professionals within the firm as these can provide an insight into the general levels of expertise and experience that can be expected. They currently have two offices in Beford and Luton covering typical ...
Suhail Ahmad at Richmond Legal:
Don't expect this to change very quickly though. At the time of writing there were actually no reviews available on the regular sites such as Google, Trustpilot, Yell, Yelp, etc. Therefore any legal professional still willing to help clients apply and then work under t...
Trust Inheritance Limited: However we hope the information and links provided above at least show why we were more than happy to add Trust Inheritance to our database of recommended firms. The Law Society of England & Wales is actually one of the best we've seen for this sort of user-focused data ...
Bilkus and Boyle: For example, we have three 5 star reviews on Trustpilot but due to the way they calculate averages - we only have a 3.5 star rating overall.
We usually can't find specific pages on a firm but if you https: www.lawscot.org.uk find-a-solicitor ?Name=bilkus&Postcode=&ty...
Catteralls in Wakefield:
Whilst getting on with your solicitor and feeling like they genuinely care about you will often be the ultimate final deal breaker, there is a lot of research you can perform to narrow down the number of firms you end up calling to begin with. Most law firms are signe...
Penerley Solicitors: You don't actually have to be a qualified solicitor to sell someone some employee contract templates or provide advice on setting up your small business. For some reason, thousands of people have easily fallen for this. For as long as we can remember (and after working in th...
Conveyancing Search Providers: So sadly there isn't a lot of independent comments floating around on the third party forums such as Google, Yelp, Yell, Trustpilot, etc.

Special Education Needs Lawyer:
A specialist like the Education Law Service that does such cases day in, day out (again, just like specialists for other legal matters) will likely cover a much wider range of work within that area of law. It's just that people are much more likely to jump online to ran...
Pump Court Chambers Barristers: Huge numbers of them state they provide their services 'nationally' in the hope of getting as many clients as possible. But the setup of chambers barristers across the UK and why their names are all so related is for another article. not the very nice helpful receptionist at...
Mason Bullock Solicitors: Typically we research a firm completely unbias and make the decision based on several factors such as their setup, case range, reviews, standing with the relevant regulatory bodies, and so on. Mason Bullock Solicitors was an unusual situation for us when it came to decidin...
Lindsays Solicitors Scotland: However we thought it could be very helpful to take you through a few of the reasons we chose to work with them. A couple of years ago we ran a poll and (as we actually expected from our own experience) the huge majority of people didn't trust testimonials on company websi...
Aspire Licensing & Administrative Services: They also provide help with courses that will often be required in order to get certain licenses - if you don't have people already with those qualifications. There are certainly more quality, cost-effective, and quicker solutions to legal problems these days. Certainly we c...
OTS Immigration Solicitors: For some reason we can't quite fathom, the buyers sellers don't question this and simply hand all their house deposits over to the fraudsters. It could have been for 'best logo design' for all we know. OTS Solicitors are signed to The Law Society of England & Wales which is...
Reid and Black Solicitors: But Reid Black state they will give you a free interview for 'any legal issue' which is a lot less common than you might think.

Howe and Co Solicitors: Howe & Co seem to have solicitors from every decade of their history including Martin Howe (qualified in 1983), Mark Collins (1991), Nicole Bowler (2003), right up to Charlie Rose in 2019.

Robin Somerville Barrister: For each case type in your area we will try to have a couple of good regular high street firms, a barrister, a specialist and often an alternative type of help.

MGBe Legal Ltd: It's just that whilst people are quite willing to post about how bad or well their house sale went, they are far less likely to jump onto the internet to declare how their divorce, or criminal trial, or mental capacity claim is going.
