www.2hb.co.uk: For example if a firm claims to be modern, efficient, and friendly - that sounds great. However barristers in the same countries are under The Bar Standards Board (BSB) which we've historically had much less positive words to say about. But of course they will all say that...


www.acitylawfirm.com: That last bit of data is hugely helpful when it comes to working out if a firm is experienced or not. We ran a poll a few years back which stated only 8% of you trusted company provided testimonials. Some firms may state they have '15 years combined experience' or...

www.buchananco.co.uk: class="infoquote "Our friendly and approachable team are here to help you deal with whatever legal issue you have"< div> Of course the first port of call for most consumers whenever checking out a company is the public comment boards https: www.google.com sear...

www.backhouse-solicitors.co.uk: This includes Minal Backhouse who qualified in 1997, Clare Sheeran in 2001, Nathan Gray in 2018, right up to Sarina Hayes in 2020. That's solicitors joining the profession in each of the last four decades. As mentioned above Duffield Stunt Solicitors has merged into Backhous...


www.beersllp.com: We would really recommend reading the reviews through, though, rather than just relying on star ratings when it comes to law firms. 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...


www.belllax.com: class="infoquote "Bell Lax are a long established firm based in Sutton Coldfield, just outside Birmingham City Centre."< div> Most firms will make a claim like this about some length of time which is meant to make them sound well established and well experienced. ...

www.bridgemcfarland.co.uk: However, in our last poll only 9% of you said you trusted any reviews on a company's own website. It's not worth the risk. . The negative ones all seemed to relate to delays in a house purchase. Just typing 'bridge mcfarland' currently shows nothing on Google, you have to t...

www.woodstocklegalservices.co.uk: So always makes sure you're on the correct site and never discuss payments via email. . The current official website is www.woodstocklegalservices.co.uk but www.woodstocklegalservices.com does not currently redirect. We've seen lawyers rated 5 stars for their great new me...


www.brownandcosolicitors.co.uk: Does this translate into happy clients?

www.celsolicitors.co.uk: We've seen someone leave a negative review about a Criminal Law firm for refusing to take on their Divorce. class="infoquote "We operate 99% paper free, unless the court or our clients request physical letters. There were a few things that we thought crossed the line...


www.cooks-solicitors.co.uk: Not their own clients. That's because when it comes to any legal practice handling property conveyancing matters - it's actually quite normal for them to have a poor rating. So how are Cooks Solicitors looking on the independent boards? class="infoquote "Graeme Tenna...


www.davidstinson.co.uk: For a name that's been around for a while, it may appear as though the number of reviews doesn't reflect that. It can also be to capitalise on the brand name the firm has locally even after merging with another firm. However, we've been reviewing and working with legal pr...


www.disrepairclaim.co.uk: for personal injury, such as pneumonia, asthma, gastrointestinal issues, or even anxiety and depression ... There are several good reasons for this, but the main one being that the majority of them simply take your details and sell them on to the highest bidder. As we've alr...


www.fair-result.co.uk: There were some testimonials on the company's own website: class="infoquote "the whole process was dealt with so smoothly" "I got the best outcome possible" "the contrast in their services between my first traditional divorce using lawyers was astounding" ...


www.fosterandcoleman.com: The site is https secure for submitting your personal details on their contact form. The idea being that the older the firm, the more established and experienced. They have a huge amount of user side data about the firms and people registered with them. class="inf...


www.frazercoogans.co.uk: One last clipping from the firm's website: class="infoquote "Free initial consultation"< div> This actually is becoming more common amongst UK law firms which is great, but there still are firms out there that will charge for a proper discussion about your case w...

www.jpswalker.co.uk: That date however is simply when that particular name started to be used. There are other firms with 'jps' in the name and therefore other websites too (e.g. That's because whilst people are more than happy to jump online and let people know about their lovely waitress or ...


www.krsep.co.uk: But when it comes to Estate Planning there are some things to watch out for. As you would expect, all testimonials that companies post on their site are always 100% positive. In the quote above the amount of experience is being attached to the actual person you will be deal...


www.lefevres.law: well, we think so anyway. So how does this law office fare on the third party forums? The most common ones people visit are https: www.google.com search?q=lefevres+edinburgh&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB926GB926&oq=Lefevres+edinburgh&aqs=chrome.0.0i355i512j46i175i199i512j69i59.2970j...


www.lslegaluk.com: Hence why we were happy to recommend them across our network. If a firm has only 1-2 solicitors but handles every case type under the sun - then it's fair to assume they are not as experienced or up to date as a firm with several solicitors each focusing on one or two areas...

www.mjvlaw.co.uk: Alan Vincent shows a qualification date in 1978 with the son, Michael Vincent, qualifying in 2011. Sometimes due to just one official-looking email convincing the property buyer that they need to suddenly change the bank account they pay their deposit in to. Just ask and, if...


www.mylawmatters.co.uk: Sometimes they end up pushing the original name into the background in favour of the new branding. The client then handed tens of thousands of pounds over to the fraudster without bothering to check with the law firm whether the change was correct. Because quite often a low ...


www.onelawchambers.com: This is due to the fact most testimonials are obtained via some sort of post-service questionnaire. class="infoquote "ONELAW CHAMBERS ... prides itself in being accessible, user-friendly and innovative legal service"< div> Most law firms make claims like the one ...

www.stowefamilylaw.co.uk: The official site we link to above is www.stowefamilylaw.co.uk with www.stowefamilylaw.com not currently showing any firm.

www.swainandco.com: Quite often when a firm merges with another they will either merge the names too or simply drop one to move forward with the most recognisable strong branding out of the two. Young and Co have their own branded location though so any research is probably best served us...


www.taylorprice.co.uk: We will try to show you how to find information between the lines and point out research resources you may not be aware of.
