Finding the Right Help in the UK
Ian Mallon Solicitors Ltd: Unfortunately today https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 591362 ian-mallon-solicitors" the page for this firm< a> on The English Welsh Law Society's website wasn't working properly. That's why we have local, international, large, small, general practice, niche bouti...
TSABI Ltd Solicitors: Again, something you might think everyone does, but they don't. So what are people saying on the public forums? class="infoquote "Staff are extremely professional, knowledgeable and responsive." "very good communication despite the language barrier, full of profe...
Thorpe Wilson Ltd: class="infoquote "Good company and they sorted everything like they should" "Excellent service, felt our issues were heard and met" "very helpful and kept me informed throughout the whole process" "They were extremely helpful, dealt with my queries swif...
Allsop Durn Dearlove: The official website we link to above is www.allsopdurn.co.uk with www.allsopdurn.com not currently in use. If you click the link to view details about the solicitors at the firm, you'll see there is certainly a range of experience amongst the staff. We also saw alot o...
MTA Solicitors LLP: What makes us unique is our people."< div> If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation offices 516825 mta-solicitors-llp" check the page< a> for MTA Solicitors you can click around for further details about the firm. class="infoquote "Local, friendl...
Apprise Legal Services: We also noticed a firm called Assured Wills, Trusts and Estate Planning in the very nearby town of Redditch kept popping up during our research. Thankfully these days there are a large number of indepedent review boards such as Google, Trustpilot, Yell.com, Yelp and so on. o...
Aina Khan Solicitors: But if everyone's saying it, how can you tell the firms apart?
We were therefore very happy to find the Aina Khan website to be far more unique in it's sales-pitching content. You can therefore do this with most firms you're researching if they are making large claims...
Will Taborn Ltd: Taborns is therefore much more of a business legal solutions provider than just a case handler . But Taborns has a very different approach to business law compared to the regular City-based commercial law firms. These are therefore some snippets from the company's own te...
Hutcheon Law Solicitors: Also The Law Society page we link to above will link you to a law firm called Hadcalry Ltd, although thankfully that branding does not appear to have it's own website. Why is that a big deal? Because there's a lot of sneaky marketing jargon used these days for such things....
Penn Chambers Ltd: Normally companies use the Blog section to write dozens of extra (very thinly disguised) sales pitches. Of course, finding them is the tricky part.
One thing that made us feel a certain kinship with this particular law firm was their T&Cs section.
At the moment i...
Frank Rogers Motoring Solicitor: He was fair and to the point"< div>
Thankfully the comments are mostly informative with helpful details about what they liked about the service and the outcome. Of course if you see a very small law practice or even a sole practitioner stating they cover a simply mas...
OJ Solicitors Glasgow: A one-year-old firm might have twenty-year-experienced solicitors on staff and a twenty-year-old firm might stick you with a one-year-experienced solicitor. Right now, a search for "OJ Solicitors" on search engines brings up the correct firm with the official www.oj-solicito...
Kudos Legal Solicitors: However we tend to focus on third party independent review boards when doing our research which (according to our poll last year) is what most of you do as well with any company. There are also variants such as Kuddus Solicitors. For some reason, people really do feel that a...
Serious Injury Law Solicitors: It's been some time since we've reviewed a firm that worked anything out of the old-fashioned 9am-5pm Mon-Fri blocks. But many people (quite a large percentage according to our poll last year) don't trust them nearly as much as those on third party review sites such as Googl...
5 Essex Court Chambers & Partners: We would therefore recommend bookmarking the correct site once you're on it just in case. Google currently lists them 4.6 5 stars, but there are only five ratings and no actual comments next to each. This naturally means a great opportunity to save both time and money:
...
Avery & Walters Ltd: However, you need the stable balance of experience in each firm as well to help things run smoother and stay focused. Some people just skip through the general ratings without really looking into how those ratings were gained. So how can you tell the jargon from the actual ...
AWH Legal Ltd: www.awhsolicitors.com does not redirect to it though and www.awhlegal.co.uk is just an information site about the company background. Of course, most people won't have any idea whether these are worth paying attention to.
class="infoquote "We understand that the legal...
HH Law Ltd: As always, we advise giving more weight to reviewers who are marked as having reviewed several other firms as well.
class="infoquote "We can help secure access to expert rehabilitation services to ensure that you have the quickest recovery possible."< div>
We wis...
Lawcommercial Trading Ltd: Always a good sign.
class="infoquote "Reliable legal services for start-ups and small-to-medium-sized businesses (SMEs)."< div>
We've focused a lot on the property side of this firm for (hopefully) obvious reasons. We then have to spend several paragraphs explain...
Redwood Collections Ltd: VERY fast turnaround ..."
"I had a long standing debt that I could not get paid. I was very pleased with the outcome ..."< div>
Oddly the vast majority of the reviews are positive on Google, Yelp, Yellow Pages and others. This focuses our staff on achieving the res...
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: GloverPriests cover most of these. We also read in the reviews about how Glover Priest have an online tracking system for clients so they can log in at any time to see where their case is at or if anything is required of them. No, we're not exaggerating and no, we're not a...
Jarmans Solicitors Sittingbourne: installed confidence in me from the very first meeting and had a new approach" < div>
Many also name the specific person they were dealing with as well:
class="infoquote • "Rajinder Rai is a credit to Jarmans solicitors ..."
• "I would like to comme...
My 33 Legal Limited: That can only benefit in the long run, surely?
. That doesn't just mean length of time though, but actual specialisation in certain case types.
We've often said that it's better to get a 20-year experien...
Hammond Trotter Solicitors Ltd: So they certainly could have the experience to be the country's leading motoring firm.
Even if you decide not to use a solicitor, at least call one to discuss what options are available. Oddly there are only a handful of reviews on Google and each office is treated ind...
Driscoll Kingston Solicitors: For example many would prefer to have a dozen reviews all saying "Would totally recommend!" rather than a varied selection of comments such as "Timely manner", "regular updates", "solicitor always available and happy to answer questions", etc - i.e. Three of them seem to be...
SBW Lawyers Ltd: Having a business person running the firm whilst the solicitors focus on their solicitoring (spellcheck says that word doesn't exist, but it should) seems like an obviously positive idea to us. It's not a perfect system on any of the review forums, so make sure you do your b...
IWC Estate Planning & Management Ltd: Now if only the banking industry could start to be open a decent number of hours a week - society could be revolutionised ....
class="infoquote "As we provide services for overseas clients enquiries are often answered outside of normal office hours."< div>
. For a sta...
Briffa Intellectual Property Solicitors: But as it's likely you'll be dealing with payments and sensitive documents - it might be an idea to bookmark the site to ensure you always come back to the correct place.. I skimmed through about a dozen and didn't see a single bit of sales-pitchery thrown it. Do you?) Briff...
Helix Law Solicitors: It's not a foolproof system and there are other ways to spot fake reviews which we'll be covering in a more in depth articled to be rolled out shortly.
class="infoquote "gave me some free advice on our rights and made suggestions on how to handle the disagreement"
...
Leech and Co Solicitors Ltd: Even if you don't want to Skype them, the fact they have obviously put thought and action into how they communicate with their clients is still a big plus in their favour .
Leech and Co's Blog is actually more information-oriented than we typically see from law firms ...
Joanna Connolly Solicitor Advocates: Make sure to ask and discuss in depth how and when the solicitor taking your case expects to get paid.
If you are experiencing debt problems and being threatened with possible court action Joanna Connolly Solicitors naturally advise you to seek legal advice immediately....
CFG Law: etc.' disclaimer is relevant in this instance. The fact more firms don't include them on their websites boggles the mind.
class="infoquote "CFG Law is a law firm unlike any other. I had to get another member of staff to come and explain why I'd stopped him too, becaus...
Hodge Jones and Allen Solicitors: Of course, some firms do go a bit far sometimes detailing hobbies, music preferences, and even favourite colours. Indeed, we have a couple of firms on our panel just now that still work under such conditions. Despite this, HJA https: www.hja.net events access-justice-pursu...
CSL Law Croydon: So why bring it up? Well, our editorial review articles on legal firms are created based on demand. Certainly there are plenty of places for such people to air their grievances. "Can I change the locks to the family home?", "What are the consequences if I were to move out o...
RSR Law Croydon: Other funding options are available, such as a fixed fee agreement, meaning you pay no unexpected costs. The use of acronyms isn't limited to the firm's own name though. Contact. As we've mentioned before in other articles - No Win, No Fee does not mean no fees at all and fi...
Johnsons Solicitors Nottingham:
The firm has actually had quite an extensive amount of media coverage including mentions in TV and Radio documentaries.
All this is to hopefully provide a good overview and a wide range of facts to help people decide whether to use this firm.
So when you se...
Autologistic Solutions Limited: We plan on testing this out and writing a full review article later on. If you've got good insurance cover, it could be two. That doesn't mean the 18 year statement is false. I could probably go on and on about the problems with everything being separate. If you've got amaz...
Philip Nam White Collar Legal: That's not an exaggeration - there genuinely are a large amount of solicitor site profiles packed with personal information in an attempt to seem more approachable.
What first appealed to us with White Collar Legal is probably the same thing everyone who visits their w...
Stephen McCaffery & Catherine Stock: The aim is not just to better serve barristers in doing their job but more importantly to better serve solicitors and clients."< div>
Being able to work directly with clients rather than having to go through a solicitor is the result of the still-fairly-new 'Direct Acc...
Kings Court Trust Probate: This will offer a fixed-fee service, based on the amount of work required, with the bill clearly shown upfront during a no-obligation meeting."< div>
Kings Court Trust was the third alternative business structure licensed by the Council for Licensed Conveyancers (CLC), ...
EHL Solicitors UK: Obviously, using the 'and' in the name would make for a long web address, and you can't have '&' characters in domain names. They are not very good for actual useful communication when it comes to legal issues. Can law firms straddle the line between stalwart and modern?
...
Davey Law: It uses one of the new .expert extensions.
Mark Tawn became a solicitor in 1994 and for the past 20 years has specialised in personal injury litigation. Their contact page not only provides details about available parking nearby, but also alternative postcodes to use i...
Meresbrook Pollard Ltd: 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.. We also had trouble with some bits on the si...
Balfour and Manson Solicitors: However, it does this without looking stuffy or ten years out of date. They have a Twitter feed at where we spotted that some of BalfourManson's staff play for the Parlex Group's football team. Duthie Ward's pa...
MurrayHay Solicitors: Colum came to the firm after working in Hong Kong and having his own private practice in Wimbledon. Lisa Mansfield has 25 years at the firm, handling mostly residential property matters. So as usual, best practice is to bookmark the site once you know you're on the correct o...
Thompsons Solicitors Glasgow: This ability is certainly more helpful to people with serious life-changing injuries that may be out of work throughout the entire running of the case. From that we would say the overall customer experience must surely be very positive . Certainly they list quite a few in...
Alison Ashworth Solicitors: There is no such thing as no win, no fee for cases like this either. They have also commented on the BBC, Channel 5 and other media outlets programs. The clue is in the name. So you will be paying for your legal advice on this one with nearly every firm out there. But certai...
Jackson and Lees Solicitors: The addresses in Liverpool and Manchester are still the same. I really don't know how I would have managed without them ..."< div>
etc. If you're not familiar with the QS branding, QualitySolicitors is a network of law firms who all have to offer the services promised a...
Accident Claims Scotland: The correct web address is www.accidentclaimsscotland.co.uk, but www.accidentclaimsscotland.com shows exactly the same website. For almost a decade now, we've only ever allowed actual law firms on our panel for people to search for. There are several law firms that have page...
Lambert Pugh Conveyancing Solicitors: She replied to any messages promptly and kept me fully updated throughout the whole process. The site says that the quotes are 'free', but really, we've never seen a firm that charges to give you a quote.
They operate out of their Norwich office, but like the majority o...
Newry's McShanes Law Firm: Unusually for a law firm, whilst they do have the general vague case descriptions in places such as Family Law, Personal Injury, etc. Again, the first firm in Northern Ireland to achieve such.
Certainly, the firm is very much focused on quality as you read through their...
Taylor Rose Solicitors Limited TTKW:
There's a wide range of https: www.taylor-rose.co.uk media case-studies " information articles< a> available with step-by-steps and typical costs noted where possible. All across our site you'll see the stated goal of 'choice for clients'. The same goes for their so...

Atkinson Rose deal with Employment issues and are one of the many specialist fir...
BarristerDirect Ltd based in Manchester: They are not a traditional law firm, so whatever pre-conceptions you have about dealing with legal professionals - working direct with a barrister is unlikely to match them. They also determine one point of contact for your claim within the firm, and aim to answer or respond...
Hythe Solicitors Robson & Co, near Folkestone in Southern Kent: If you flick through Robson's staff list, you'll see a range of experience - some 20-30 years as qualified solicitors. But personally, taking the rest of the content into consideration (and as the person actually writing this review) I believe it is gender-free expression. A...
Brearleys Solicitors Brighouse:
For example: color="green "You advertised home visits which were essential for us." < font> is a very helpful review for people visiting the site. it is rare for a new practice to open with four offices. We know that for many people, it helps to have a mental image o...
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. Based in Truro, they are near the Threemilestone Industrial Estate, with visitor parking nearby.
They offer free initial consultations in cases w...
Julia Brown Solicitor @ Family Legal Solicitors: I have and would be happy to refer people to her when seeking legal guidance"
"Julia was always approachable and easy to communicate with, although my situation was personally uncomfortable and at times demoralising I always felt at ease with her.
The chances are ...
Anupamah Huneewoth Solicitors: The clinching piece of information? The fact that she defined the case types she had 'experience' in, as opposed to those for which she felt she had the necessary 'expertise'. They offer to help with criminal defence, divorce, family law, immigration, probate, and wills. mo...
MacLachlans Solicitors Gillingham: 5 staff members with 10 years experience equalling 50 years of combined experience). www.maclachlansolicitors.com is not owned by them.

Marcus Andreen Commercial Law: His website states an estimated saving of around 25% to 50% when compared to that charged by full service, general law firms.
Established in 2004, with the objective of offering small businesses and entrepreneurs a cost-effective counsel-type service, Marcus Andreen had...
Hartley Bain Solicitors in Stratford, Greater London: This allows them to build an innovative and bespoke service to suit each relationship. The attentiveness to detail that you consistently displayed served to eliminate many potential issues from arising in the first place. Corporate Immigration - with in depth knowledge and a...
Debt Solve UK: We're not sure what that means. Even after a decade though, it sounds as though DSL has remained a grounded firm with the directors still being involved in the case work and day-to-day running. That's also why we've reached out to bring on board some non-law-firm partners to...
Taylor Bracewell Doncaster: When relationships break down, often there are more than just the two people affected and the considerations are far reaching. Sara Ellison, Head of HR and Employment Law, was called "down-to-earth" with the whole team at TaylorBracewell receiving general comments like "...
KTPSolicitors: This is typical practice though and they should give you a detailed run down of any potential costs to you. The www.ktpsolicitors.co.uk variant just seems to jam things up, and www.ktpsolicitors.net (which we sometimes see used for email addresses with the firm) has no actua...
Countrywide Property Lawyers Ltd: considerable. This resulted in a poll asking people if they would use an ABS coming back with only 1% saying 'yes'. Fortunately, both the media and public perception has changed. But this time I only have to cover one thing - conveyancing. There's also www.cwconveyancing.co....
Michael Jefferies Injury Lawyers @ Jefferies Solicitors Ltd: That means customers whose flights have been cancelled or delayed can claim up to 600 Euros from the airline.

CBTRL Wendy Amey: They try to address the biological, psychological, and even social factors (I think that's more about social interactions rather than whether you're middle class or not). This is offered throughout the UK and Ireland. Trained to a post-graduate level in cognitive and behavio...
RJGill Solicitors: We seek them out, research them, and if they offer something we don't already have on our network - we include them.
