www.2hb.co.uk: Two Harcourt Building's official website is the helpfully short www.2hb.co.uk but www.2hb.com is not owned by them and there are several variants such as www.harcourtchambers.co.uk as well. We've been working in this industry for over 20 years now and have seen a huge amo...


www.abslawyers.co.uk: There should therefore be no confusion there, but currently most of the common error typo variations we would expect such as www.abslaw.co.uk, www.abslawyer.co.uk, or www.abssolicitors.co.uk .com are not owned by anyone. Plus alternative legal assistance such as barriste...


www.antonyhodari.co.uk: We've also seen many disgruntled reviews over solicitors refusing to take someone's case. Something you'd want in any company really. class="infoquote "We specialise in acting for tenants where their landlord has failed to repair their property or protecting deposits ...


www.argueandco.co.uk: That leads us to another important factor when choosing a lawyer to represent you - enthusiasm . So it would seem that both experience and expertise are with this particular firm. Litigation issues tend to follow the same pattern though and most Personal Injury firms will c...


www.beersllp.com: So how do Beers' solicitors fair in the public forums? class="infoquote "the whole team have been lovely and very helpful throughout our house purchase" "Efficient, straightforward and good value" "prompt friendly and reliable" "kept us updated throughou...


www.blzsolicitors.co.uk: A last sales-pitchy statement from the firm's site: class="infoquote "We are a friendly, approachable and professional firm that provides quality legal representation to those that need it."< div> Don't be too hard on firms when you see the exact same language use...


www.branchaustinmccormick.com: Firms that handle a single case type call themselves 'specialists' giving the impression that firms handling a wider range of matters are not so. As mentioned before, such a huge range of seasoned professionals mixed with fresh legs and ideas has not been seen by us in ove...


www.bridgemcfarland.co.uk: Make sure you're on the correct website and never discuss payments via email. Photos of people in suits smiling and shaking hands with bits of paper in their hands are very nice, but they don't help you decide one firm from the other. Not least so because it means they are r...


www.brownandcosolicitors.co.uk: People are handing tens of thousands of pounds over to fraudsters sometimes based solely on a single spam email stating the house deposit needs to be paid into a different bank account. This is a hugely important thing to remember because the firm handles conveyanci...


www.burtonlaw.co.uk: But the independent boards were also packed with positive comments as well. There are negative reviews from people who were told they didn't have a case. We can only assume they think they are complaining about an actual company called 'QualitySolicitors'. The age of the b...


www.celsolicitors.co.uk: We haven't looked in depth at their recruitment program so are unaware of any job vacancies available. But it's really, really not.
class="infoquote "As a law firm, we're a bit different but in a good way!"< div> There were several things that stood out to us ...


www.cooks-solicitors.co.uk: Fortunately all of Young and Co's offices The Law Society of England & Wales which is an excellent resource with a wealth of user side data . It also means yo...


www.davidstinson.co.uk: That should mean a considerable amount of experience to draw on. They are therefore obviously going to be very positive and sadly they rarely contain much helpful information about what the actual good points of the firm are. class="infoquote "very professional and go...


www.disrepairclaim.co.uk: for damaged belongings, such as clothes and electrical equipment ... for personal injury, such as pneumonia, asthma, gastrointestinal issues, or even anxiety and depression ... (No pun intended.) class="infoquote "The compensation you can claim is ... As we've already ...


www.dylannair.com: The main points people most want to see are typically a photo, case specialties, and relevant work history. That's not something we are so keen on. class="infoquote "very responsive and helpful in every way" "I eventually pulled out of the purchase, but was not...


www.fair-result.co.uk: Most lawyers will give you 15-60 minutes of their time over the phone before starting the billing clock. class="infoquote "We start at the end point. With the generic words in the brand name and the hyphenation, there are obviously dozens of other possibilities not to...


www.frazercoogans.co.uk: 'One of' doesn't distinguish how many is included in that group (compared to clearer statements such as 'top 10' might do). That doesn't look good, but this is why we always recommend you actually read the negative comments rather than just relying on star ratings. If ...


www.fultons-scotland.co.uk: (10x3=30) So do pay attention to wording. 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 website is also a type you will...


www.hawklaw.co.uk: For any legal matter there are often a range of options such as a general practice firm, a specialist provider, a direct access barrister, or even sometimes a non-law-firm solution such as for bankruptcy, wills, or debt collection. Frankly many issues are totally outside you...


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 ... If you weren't aware - we are now quite far from the 'old days' of a high street solicitor's of...


www.hooperhyde.com: class="infoquote "HooperHyde is a trading name of CLP Group Limited"< div> On the law society's website you'll be able to see a great deal of information about their registered firms and professionals. But it can sometimes be difficult to get the information due...


www.jacobslaw.org: But that's simply not true. However Jacobs has already provided this information on the website. So seeing such a huge amount of highly positive reviews about a Conveyancer is almost the stuff of Twilight Zones.. Again, you would think this to be common practice amongst all ...


www.jpswalker.co.uk: It's really very common. That date however is simply when that particular name started to be used. A quick note on navigation. JPS https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 597491 jps-walker-solicitors-ltd" are registered with< a> The Law Society of England & Wales...


www.krsep.co.uk: The Direct Access scheme allows members of the public to hire barristers themselves rather than having to pay a solicitor who would then hire one for certain types of court work. The Law Society of England & Wales has the best user-side offering we've seen from such...


www.lefevres.law: That way when you search our database for help in your area we can show you everything such as a regular high street general practice solicitor, a specialist firm, a direct access barrister, a non-law-firm based solution, and others. Either way, just be aware of which site y...


www.macjones.com: (More on that later.) Staff profiles are something we always recommend law firms to provide and these are excellent examples of the information consumers really want. Unlike companies that can talk endlessly about a product and provide specs - law sites have to fill the vo...


www.mckielegal.co.uk: The legal industry is one that really hasn't moved swiftly and easily into the modern digital available-all-the-time age. Please note though that 'no win, no fee' and '100% compensation' are two totally separate offers. We've covered many firms that proudly start off their w...


www.michaelleightonjones.com: The majority are positive and most related to property matters. This includes the partners Hugh Thomas (qualified as a solicitor in 1977) and Michael Jones (qualified in 1985). The official website is the full www.michaelleightonjones.com but at the moment the full site al...


www.milnerslaw.com: The best way we recommend to research any legal service provider is through their local law society website if possible. They have three offices in Leeds, Harrogate, and Pontefract. They handle private individual matters including Employment Law, Conveyancing, Personal ...


www.mjvlaw.co.uk: The site has other sales language that is definitely common across those of its peers. Make sure you're on the correct site and never discuss payments via email. . But if it's 10x staff members with an average of only 5 years' experience - we think that's quite a differen...


www.mylawmatters.co.uk: The titular Nicholas Fentiman qualified in 1979, with various other solicitors joining after - right up to Nila Brailey who qualified in 2007. A good place to get information on this is actually a firm's local law society. We can honestly say that in the past two decades we...


www.onelawchambers.com: There have been a lot of negative moves by the government over the past two decades that have impacted the ability for regular people to obtain justice. They often sound very different from regular third party review forums as well. 'one' and 'law') most search terms will br...


www.pacificlaw.co.uk: 0800 numbers should now be free from every mobile service provider in the UK. As we said, this is a new firm. Our technology takes care of the stuff in the background so our legal team can focus on what's important - you."< div> Again this is something many firms clai...


www.rf-law.co.uk: One last point: class="infoquote "Get in touch now For a free, no obligation consultation."< div> For general litigation matters we would never expect a law firm to charge you for the first consultation. On that last one: class="infoquote "Specialising ...

www.belllax.com: We would just always recommend that you read actual comments rather than taking notice of average star ratings. We've seen a criminal lawyer get a negative review for refusing to take on a divorce case. So within the firm there will be a solicitor expert in Family La...


www.rmsolicitors.com: class="infoquote "We have dealt with a wide variety of cases."< div> Is there a way to find out how experienced a solicitor is? Glad you asked. That means should the case lose, the insurance policy pays your solicitor for the work they did. Normally you will be a...


www.simperlaw.com: The age of the firm's brand name is pretty much meaningless and often tenuously worked out to begin with using the wife's-cousin's-dog's-next-door-neighbour approach to linking up the current firm with an older name. Tech companies, restaurants, social media providers, and s...


www.smithandgraham.co.uk: They also have actual prices listed on their website which is rare and great to see . The best resource we've found is The Law Society of England & Wales website which is packed with useful details such as contact details, all office addresses, practice areas, and ...


www.springleandco.co.uk: People are less likely to jump online and write a review about their divorce, will, or criminal offence compared to praising the pizza they just got delivered. Just some star ratings. Always keep aware of what site you're on and who you're chatting with - either by email or ...


www.stenfield.com: For the past few years https: www.actionfraud.police.uk alert fraudsters-hacking-into-emails-to-divert-house-purchase-payments" thousands of people have handed over millions of pounds< a> to scammers during property sales purchases. We did see a couple of complaints. Sear...


www.stowefamilylaw.co.uk: So what are people saying about Stowe Family Law? class="infoquote "very supportive during otherwise difficult times" "She tells it like it is so I always know where I stand" "kept my costs to a minimum throughout my separation" "service was efficient and very r...


www.swainandco.com: They are usually much more full of praise too, which is probably why only 8% of you voted in our poll year saying you took company-own testimonials into account. Entering such will bring up an error or redirect you elsewhere depending on what browser you are using. Thankful...


www.taylorprice.co.uk: Taylor Price has a group of lawyers who joined the profession in every one of the last four decades. However some firms with long case lists can still absolutely be 'specialists' as long as there are individual lawyers within the firm focused on certain niche case types...


www.thaxtedlegal.com: etc. But the phrase 'no news is good news' has stood the test of time for a reason - i.e. Sometimes, like many consumers, we just have to go with our gut. This kind of offering demonstrates two things (to us at least). Sadly the government body doesn't even provide a ...


www.theladybarrister.co.uk: This is even more difficult for people working under their own name instead of a chambers because Google wants to match company names and locations with each local business search. Barristers are setup quite differently to regular law offices in that there typically a...

www.summerfieldbrowne.com: We've been hoping that for many years and it's getting there . You may be surprised in this day and age to learn that there are still hundreds of such firms about the UK with antiquated views on women in the workplace and even an aversion to the internet. This has the obvio...


www.thelegalpractice.co.uk: There is also a huge amount of people that leave negative reviews about the other side's solicitor during a house transaction which seems incredibly unfair because they've usually obtained their negative opinion from their own solicitor blaming every issue on the other side....


www.trojansolicitors.com: So when you see very few or even zero reviews for a law practice - that's not a negative sign. Most importantly, they also https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 617768 trojan-solicitors-ltd" provide a list of solicitors< a> within each firm along with their qua...


www.ulasolicitors.com: There is a difference (and we'll tell you how to spot it below) between a firm where all the solicitors try to handle all the various case types - and a firm where each of the solicitors are specialists in their own area of law. The official site we link to above is www.ul...


www.woodstocklegalservices.co.uk: People have been handing tens of thousands of pounds in deposits to fraudsters simply on the basis of one official-looking email stating the bank details for payment have changed. So, do the independent review boards reflect this positivity? class="infoquote "our chai...


www.youngs.law: The official website for Young & Co is www.youngs.law with www.youngs.co.uk being for a brewery and www.youngs.com not having any website at all. As our poll last year indicated - only 8% of people seemed to take company provided testimonials into account when making up th...
