Allsop Durn Dearlove: We also noticed someone at the firm has been responding to the positive comments where possible, thanking them for the glowing feedback. The only issue would be perhaps mis-spelling the Alsop. You certainly don't want a firm that treats legal matters the same as they did 30 ...
MTA Solicitors LLP: Most lawyers in the UK are registered with a Law Society. However, it should be available across their range of claims services as it's mentioned in the majority of their other advertising. For some reason, the MTA Solicitor's website does not boast it's No Win, ...

Frank Rogers Motoring Solicitor: But having worked with law firms for over 20+ years now, we know that experience is far more of a factor in success when it comes to motor offences.

AJLO Solicitors: That's not helpful and shouldn't really be allowed in our opinion. We know several excellent firms that have 2 or 3 overall star ratings on some forums yet 5 star everywhere else. At the time of writing this, they only had a 3.8 star rating on Google which doesn't sound grea...

SBW Lawyers Ltd: As a very, very, very rough example: a good lawyer that takes 25% of a hard fought £5000 win is still a better option than a shoddy lawyer who takes 0% of a quick £2000 settlement. The most popular being https: www.google.com search?q=sbw+law&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB926GB926&...
IWC Estate Planning & Management Ltd: The blog section seems to be regularly updated as well.

CFG Law: To us, pulling together all these extra resources and making them part of the claiming firm's duty rather than the client's - seems utterly logical. Typically, unless we see specific terms popping up in our website's internal search function (e.g. Obviously we've linked to...
Hodge Jones and Allen Solicitors: But when we use the word 'big' to describe Hodge Jones & Allen LLP, it's their presence we're talking about - which is the 'biggest' we've seen so far.

Kings Court Trust Probate: Again, case examples are something law firms use on their website to great effect.

EHL Solicitors UK: Can law firms straddle the line between stalwart and modern?
