Here's the follow up list of review articles we've published on UK law firms that have turned out quite popular. Let us know what you think using the vote button:

www.2hb.co.uk: 2HB clearly has made no such misleading attempt with that almost slap-in-the-face attention grabbing statement. class="infoquote "Your case will be reviewed by a qualified Direct Access barrister within 48 working hours of the receipt of all relevant information."<...


www.abslawyers.co.uk: class="infoquote "In respect of Personal Injury & Housing Disrepair, we work on a No Win No Fee basis."< div>. class="infoquote "We ensure that customer service, rather than our profits, is the number one priority."< div> This is another claim every single f...


www.antonyhodari.co.uk: Something you'd want in any company really. . Almost a 'crusade' mentality. class="infoquote "We specialise in acting for tenants where their landlord has failed to repair their property or protecting deposits as the law requires."< div> Normally when that's the ...


www.argueandco.co.uk: You can read an article here where we cover the 'why' on that one. Be clear though: no win, no fee only means that if you lose there are no fees. You will find it more likely for an actual solicitor to answer the phone and talk to you at a smaller firm which clients te...


www.beersllp.com: Make sure you know what site you're on and never discuss payments via email . . Alongside their co-workers, the firm as a whole has a decent mix of seasoned professionals with some fresher legs and ideas. Again, a very good reason to read the comments fully first. Obviou...


www.blzsolicitors.co.uk: In our opinion you shouldn't count repetitive wording or stock images on a site against any of them.. You have to remember that your solicitor and their staff should be spending their time reading up on the newest matters in their field of expertise. One solicitor has expe...


www.branchaustinmccormick.com: If you've read any of our other articles before, you'll know that we don't put a lot of stock in 'established in ...' ancient date claims by law firms. But if a firm claims to handle a wide range of case types and then has individual solicitors handling each specific ty...


www.bridgemcfarland.co.uk: Depending on which browser you use a typo can end up with you seeing adverts for other firms if not simply pushing you directly to the wrong site. has held the Law Society’s quality standard accreditation mark, Lexcel, since 2008 demonstrating its high standards, excellent...


www.brownandcosolicitors.co.uk: However it's amazing just how similar law firm websites look these days with similar language and similar images of people smiling - all shaking hands. You'll get a lot of opinions on social boards or 'help' articles about the pros cons of using a large law firm, a small loc...


www.burtonlaw.co.uk: So Yates and Co became QualitySolicitors Yates and Co. We've always said that you can end up with a 1-year-experienced lawyer from a 200-year-old firm the same as you can get a forty-year-experience expert from a 1-year-old firm. It mainly discusses how a branding exer...


www.celsolicitors.co.uk: Can you check up on such things? Well, yes. To be fair, it's not as if a company can claim to be the opposite and still sound good - i.e. So whilst there are negative reviews about this firm too (and some with what sound like very valid complaints) - there are seve...


www.cooks-solicitors.co.uk: There are other law firms with 'cook' in them such as Cooks Lawyers and Mark Cook solicitors with similarly matching domain names. Regular variants such as www.cookssolicitors.co.uk or www.cooks-solicitors.com are not owned by the firm which is important to note becau...


www.davidstinson.co.uk: The only exception to this would really be a medical negligence case against the NHS. they are all forms of litigation and typically follow the same process for a successful conclusion. This is called a 'conditional fee arrangement' and is normally around 25% of your settlem...


www.disrepairclaim.co.uk: So it's probably a good idea to bookmark the correct site once you're on it to be sure you come back to the correct one. If a firm is regulated properly then they will state so along with their number on their website. Unless the law firm you're looking at states both on t...


www.dylannair.com: Legal issues are very personal. So when Dylan Nair make a public statement on their site like this, it's not something to be glossed over . On this occasion the fact this firm is offering considerable free time for non-litigation matters is the point of note. Make su...


www.fair-result.co.uk: class="infoquote "With an accumulation of over 70 years experience in commercial negotiation finance and law, we have totally unique offering."< div> There are two not-exactly-small claims in that snippet from the opening section of the Fair Result Ltd website. Ag...


www.frazercoogans.co.uk: With so many high street solicitors to choose from though, how do we at 1to1Legal decide which firms to include in our search database and which to skip over? Below are some criteria and resources we use. So if the following article seems a little bias - that doesn't m...


www.fultons-scotland.co.uk: Even though it wasn't the law firm's decision to pull out of the deal. class="infoquote "Many of our clients choose Fulton's because they have used us before, or because a family member or friend has recommended us."< div> This subsequent claim from the firm's we...


www.hawklaw.co.uk: class="infoquote "With highly trained experts on hand to advise on your particular case, you will always receive a fully informed, clear and professional service whatever your circumstances."< div> Again, all law firms will claim to have staff with the necessary ...


www.hillhousechambers.co.uk: As Hill House Chambers puts it: class="infoquote "The Direct Access (or Public Access) scheme allows members of the public to instruct an authorised barrister directly ... A chambers is more like a collective of individuals so whilst there will be a main office monitor...


www.hooperhyde.com: But it can sometimes be difficult to get the information due to many firms using trading names. This, and the odd search results, shouldn't be a huge worry though as most scammers tend to target property clients as apparently it's very easy https: www.manningrivertimes.com...


www.jacobslaw.org: That's why we can often point out things the average consumer wouldn't notice or consider. We know what we do best ..."< div> Coming back to similar names, this also means if you want to see reviews of the firm you need to be very careful what terms you use. class...


www.jpswalker.co.uk: Some go really overboard trying to claim ancient founding dates such as 'established in 1771'. www.jpslaw.co.uk which is a completely different firm). The difference is that a solicitor may take a cut of your compensation under a no win, no fee guarantee. So despite th...


www.krsep.co.uk: One last quote from the firm's site that is a good point to remember: class="infoquote "Choosing who to appoint is an important decision and best made by yourself and not left to the Courts."< div> . class="infoquote "As well as English, I can also offer a...


www.lefevres.law: Sadly in Scotland the Law Society website covering legal professionals is not as good as their English Welsh counterpart. In our honest opinion though, that's complete nonsense and any claims about founding dates should be utterly ignored. Such marketing language makes ...


www.macjones.com: Unlike companies that can talk endlessly about a product and provide specs - law sites have to fill the void with self-praise about their abilities because they are the product . But hopefully you'll be able to check up on what prior clients thought of the firm's communicat...


www.mckielegal.co.uk: The use of trading names is not something to worry about . But whether a solicitor charges a success fee or not shouldn't be the end-all of your decision to use them. www.mckiesolicitors.co.uk) being the same. It's very common even for firms with decades of history to hav...


www.michaelleightonjones.com: There are still plenty of firms out there that will charge a consultation fee or even full hourly rates for the first meeting.. When you are flicking through law firm reviews remember that people are far less likely to share their feelings about their messy divorce than the...


www.milnerslaw.com: not trying to jack-of-all-trades things. This becomes important to note because the firm handles property matters which https: www.thetimes.co.uk static connected-families conveyancing-email-scam-hackers-steal-house-deposit " have been the target of high value scams ...


www.mjvlaw.co.uk: If that's 2x solicitors with 25 years' experience = still pretty good and making sense. The Facebook reviews were a bit disorganised and not matching up with the star ratings. That's well over 50 years between just the two of them. If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org...


www.mylawmatters.co.uk: That's probably why only 8% of you voted last year that you took company website testimonials into consideration when evaluating a service provider. So what are third party boards like Google, Facebook, Yell.com, etc. A mix of genders, ages, and years of experience amongst s...


www.onelawchambers.com: Practically every firm will claim to be friendly and modern. OneLaw certainly has at least one other independent body backing up their claims as well, being https: www.legal500.com firms 232573-onelaw-chambers 232407-london-england " listed in the Legal 500< a>. Ev...


www.pacificlaw.co.uk: But the major mobile players we checked all direct 0800 for free now. The official website we link to above is www.pacificlaw.co.uk, however recently they changed this www.pacificlaw.org - but either will get you to the correct website. Either way should really ma...


www.rf-law.co.uk: This isn't too much of a concern though as Litigation firms such as RF Law are not really targeted by scammers as much as other areas of law (e.g. Just always make sure you know exactly which site you are on, which email addresses you are responding to, and we recomme...

www.belllax.com: To be honest, we didn't read more than a couple and even then we skimmed. For example Richard Kerry qualified in 1993, Natalie Bradshaw in 2009, Saira Walji in 2017, right up to Wioleta Dworak who qualified as a solicitor just in 2020. We would just always recommend that yo...


www.rmsolicitors.com: That means should the case lose, the insurance policy pays your solicitor for the work they did. However the term is being used correctly in this instance. In fact the review on Yelp wasn't even about the correct firm, but the link to it still popped up in the top search r...


www.simperlaw.com: Personal Injury, Neighbour Disputes, Medical Negligence, etc.) just different types of cases that can be brought within that area of law. For example several are related litigation matters (e.g. Kim Simper comes up as having qualified as a solicitor in 1992, with Sally Riche...


www.smithandgraham.co.uk: We've seen companies claim 150-year origins simply for moving into the old premises of a much older firm. As we only review the legal industry and it's professionals from our experience working with them over the past 20 years - that's the only thing we can comment on. ...


www.springleandco.co.uk: Plus more and more people are owning their own business which brings an entirely different set of issues to consider should you pass on while that business is running. Not someone in a call centre with very specific products to sell you. For example, it states Claire Sprin...


www.stenfield.com: Unfortunately when no feedback is left it's hard to know if that person was even rating the correct firm. Not to mention that Trustpilot's rating calculations mean that a firm with four 5 star reviews will end up with an average of 3 stars total. For the past few years...


www.stowefamilylaw.co.uk: A large firm that gives you a free interview to discuss your case and costs before making you sign the dotted line is actually rarer than you might think . We always recommend speaking to someone at the firm before going ahead. class="infoquote "Within our 80-plus ...


www.swainandco.com: If you want more specific information about your local office, you need to include the town name when you search - e.g. There are unhelpful positive reviews too, such as: class="infoquote "Easy to find, parking near by, less than one minutes walking from the train stat...


www.taylorprice.co.uk: You may think it's standard for all solicitors to provide free initial chats. For example most firms will also claim a certain amount of experience, although not always in the clearest of way. Surely an ideal mix for any legal service provider? class="infoquote "Our te...


www.thaxtedlegal.com: it more often than not a successful way to think. This kind of offering demonstrates two things (to us at least). With them only handling immigration matters it's also safe to assume they will be more up to date than a solicitor trying to handle a dozen different case types ...


www.theladybarrister.co.uk: She also has an LLM in Legal Practice."< div> You'll find that barristers are much more embedded in the legal process which is why their photos are often of them in wigs and robes whilst solicitor websites are more likely stock photos of people in various coloured sh...

www.summerfieldbrowne.com: We've always said to ignore average ratings and always read comments . However, since this firm handles business matters as well we gave them a little more weight as the company's own brand is stated behind their praise. Why not call us today for a free quote."< div> ...


www.thelegalpractice.co.uk: So whilst there is no solicitor in the firm with the full 50 years' experience, we certainly can't say they are lacking it. This is because most people buying selling a house will always feel that the process should have gone much, much faster and been far, far less co...


www.trojansolicitors.com: Millions and millions have been lost worldwide by https: www.theguardian.com money 2021 jan 02 homebuyers-scams-stamp-duty-holiday-" people sending property deposits to fraudulent bank accounts< a>. To us at least, that makes such firms where they have individual solicito...


www.ulasolicitors.com: Those are the types of cases scammers tend to target. It has not kept up with the rise in regular inflation fees at all. class="infoquote "The team members are experts in their analytical approach to cases, probing the evidence, and being prepared to challenge statute,...


www.woodstocklegalservices.co.uk: We've seen lawyers rated 5 stars for their great new menu and a divorce specialist given 1 star for refusing to take a criminal defence case. There are several other things that stood out to us about this firm as well such as the professional https: www.woodstocklegal...


www.youngs.law: As our poll last year indicated - only 8% of people seemed to take company provided testimonials into account when making up their minds about a firm. The English Welsh law society site is still a simply indispensable resource for background and deeper information abo...
