www.2hb.co.uk: A chambers is more like an introduction umbrella between clients and possible representation. On the Bar Standards Board's site you can't always look up by overall firm name and even when you do find a page on an individual chamber's member the information is certainly...
www.antonyhodari.co.uk: But the name is so unique that if you type 'anthony hodari' into a search the correct firm still pops up.

www.argueandco.co.uk: class="infoquote "... the person they spoke to simply seemed more interested in their case. This splinter naming isn't nearly as prolific amongst other areas of law such as divorce or crime. we will correspond with you using whatever platform suits you best ... Esp...
www.backhouse-solicitors.co.uk: Not in a nasty way about the actual text. We want to change that."< div> Rather than disecting every word on the firm's site like we do, most consumers immediately turn to third party review boards when they want to research a firm. To start us off we're going to...
www.beersllp.com: But you can always end up with a 1-year-qualified lawyer from the 200-year-old firm in the same way you could be provided a 40-year-guru lawyer from a 1-year-old legal practice. Obviously alternatives such as www.beers.com or .co.uk bring up beverage related websites and non...
www.belllax.com: In fact for most of them no comments were left at all - just a low star rating which we always think is just plain unhelpful. But absolutely no solicitor should charge you any fees for running the case or if the case loses. The majority of them were very positive with help...
www.blzsolicitors.co.uk: Not their secretary or junior staff who joined the firm yesterday. A switch of sides from a solicitor is not something to be taken lightly and should really mark as a big plus when comparing services. BLZ Ltd is the same firm, it's just their official Limited register...
www.branchaustinmccormick.com: The boxes that need to be ticked off for inclusion do mostly revolve around things that benefit the client . 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 f...
www.bridgemcfarland.co.uk: That's a good mix of seasoned heads with fresh eyes . The first means the firm or the solicitor within the firm has been going for at least 40 years. The other two mean they've simply added up the years of all the staff (e.g. Some people have handed over the entire deposit ...
www.woodstocklegalservices.co.uk: It's not as if any firm is going to claim the opposite - i.e. However on this occasion we have because they are not just hand-picked and solicited client remarks but actual comments from industry peers who have worked with the firm.

www.brownandcosolicitors.co.uk: That's a lot of experience. Here are some of the resources we use that you might not have known about or things to watch for you might not have thought about.
class="infoquote "Brown and Co Solicitors is an experienced firm of solicitors offering legal services acros...
www.burtonlaw.co.uk: We can only assume they think they are complaining about an actual company called 'QualitySolicitors'. An enviable group of staff to have at any firm surely? Legal-based or not. We've always said that you can end up with a 1-year-experienced lawyer from a 200-year-old firm t...
www.celsolicitors.co.uk: Especially if this was the umpteenth law site you've visited today as they can start to appear unbelievably similar after a while. This may sound like it should be the standard for most companies across all industries by this point. We therefore searched the various publicat...
www.cooks-solicitors.co.uk: No really, firms claiming they are three hundred years old as if that gives them some sort of bonus experience above other firms really winds us up. When it comes to law firms though, we absolutely recommend that you read through the reviews and ignore any overall average st...
www.davidstinson.co.uk: It can also be to capitalise on the brand name the firm has locally even after merging with another firm. We love case studies on a law firm's website. We have discovered recently though that many potential clients also enjoy case studies and find them useful in getting...
www.disrepairclaim.co.uk: 'No win, no fee' and '100% compensation' are two very different offers. So whilst we still are not keen on the whole CMC thing as a general rule, in this instance using a company like DisrepairClaim.co.uk may be the only available option for many. Because we're trying to...
www.dylannair.com: Just remember that 'no win, no fee' and '100% compensation' do not mean the same thing. We obviously read through dozens of law firm's websites every day and the similarties between the content and the claims each make to set themselves apart as 'unique' can often end up blu...
www.fair-result.co.uk: On top of that they provide free work up front to show what they can do and then fixed fee agreements. Typically we haven't used any of the services of the firms we write articles on. We simply try to offer a sort of business insider view.

Having worked with law firms for over two decades now and seen many of them merge or buy out other firms, 9 times out of ...
www.fultons-scotland.co.uk: But we would have thought it common sense to phone your actual conveyancing firm to confirm such BEFORE transferring tens of thousands of pounds to bank details you've just been emailed. The biggest conveyancer in the UK which we reviewed last week has a Google rating of j...
www.hawklaw.co.uk: That's because whilst people are quite happy to jump online and rave about their new toaster, they aren't so quick to discuss their divorce, bankruptcy, debts, or criminal defence case. This is important to note because in any property transaction there is usually at least...

www.jpswalker.co.uk: Some go really overboard trying to claim ancient founding dates such as 'established in 1771'.
So if you see a law firm with barely a handful, or even zero, reviews - don't take that as some sort of negative sign. The official website is currently www.jpswalker.co.uk bu...
www.krsep.co.uk:
A quick note on navigation as we're dealing with an acronymed company name and non-branded web address.

www.mjvlaw.co.uk: Plus any firm that deals with property will always, always have negative comments about delays. If that's 2x solicitors with 25 years' experience = still pretty good and making sense. We've also seen some sites refer to the firm as MJV & Co Solicitors. Just ask and, if w...
