www.brodies.com: The Law Society of England & Wales will show you all office locations, contact information, and even languages spoken at the firm. There doesn't seem to be any other firms popping up in the search with similar names. That can't possibly be true of course. Howev...
www.calioclaims.co.uk: Those are two very different statements. Today while reviewing the website of Calio Claims we'll also be discussing branding. With that all in the past, why do law firms still use separate brand names and 'Trading As' statements? The most common reason is modern appea...

www.largeandgibson.co.uk: Not QS as a whole. We are dedicated to providing the highest quality legal advice and expertise for our clients, but in a way that's far friendlier, more accessible and clear-talking than you might expect from a law firm."< div>
That's the brief explanation on each fir...

www.fosterandcoleman.com: There are several similarly named firms such as 'foster & foster' and 'foster law' that popped up while we were searching. Foster Coleman do have https: www.fosterandcoleman.com testimonials" a testimonials page< a> on their website with comments such as:

www.girlings.com:
Girlings certainly comes under that description so 'specialist solicitors' is a deserved term in this instance. There are separate reviews for the Personal Injury Claims department if you type that in.. The first only guarantees that you won't have to pay anything if ...
www.harrisonssolicitors.com:
class="infoquote "Harrison's Solicitors underwent rigorous assessment by the Law Society to secure Conveyancing Quality Scheme Accreditation (CQS), the mark of excellence for the home buying process."< div>

One issue people might encounter at the moment is Google has separated the reviews so that you can only view reviews of each individual office. Many firms offer 'testimonials' o...
www.heritageparkfamilylaw.com: Today we're going to highlight the firm Heritage Park Family Law Ltd.
Also, be aware that Google has changed how you search for business displays and reviews. So on this occasion the person actually handling your case should have 30+ years of experience under their b...
www.horsleylaw.co.uk: Both list that the firm trades under Horsley Law so it's the same company .
However, while that is still good advice in our opinion - we know it can be difficult to find information and background on newer firms. While many people will quickly jump online to share th...
www.keesolicitors.co.uk: But we can confidently state it's not. So we know a lot of the changes that have occurred and Family Law representation has seen it's fair share of those.

Conversely, this next stateme...
www.lslegaluk.com: That's the difference to watch for.
One major feature is they list the actual qualification dates and area of law specialties of each individual solicitor registered with them.
This becomes even more important for cases such as Immigration where the law is co...
www.lyonslaw.co.uk: The same issues arise for positive reviews as well.
Prior to online searching, people would have to look up what law firms were local to them either in the phone book or Yellow Pages.
Worse than this are the firms that claim ancient founding dates such as 'esta...
www.mark-croft-solicitor.co.uk: A quick note on navigation though, because the official site is www.mark-croft-solicitor.co.uk with hyphens. For some reason, the buyer doesn't bother checking up on this before transferring the entire house deposit to the fraudster's bank account. If you look up the Law Soc...
www.mccarthy.ie: So what are they saying?
class="infoquote "Communication was always clear, professional, and friendly"
"very helpful and quick to respond to any of my queries"
"the team had my interest at heart"
"friendly manner distracted me from the court process"< div>

www.mpgqs.com: It not only provides greater insight into the process itself, but also highlights where you might be able to save time and money using a service such as MPG over hiring a law firm to litigate straight away.

www.murphysolicitors.co.uk: We had to search for the exact firm name which was entered as 'S.G Murphy' with the full stop. However the Law Society for Northern Ireland, like its Scottish counterpart, lags far behind in consumer help resources.
A quick note on navigation. At this point if you've b...
www.nerolegal.com: Sometimes simply on the basis of one email telling them the bank details had changed. Either they offer a unique type of service, handle a unique case range, utilise a unique setup, or stand out from the others in just their style or site language.

www.njslaw.co.uk: There is a theme of 'listening' and 'caring' repeated throughout many. Our poll a few years back was very clear about that .

www.oakwoodsolicitors.co.uk:
However, you need to be extra careful online these days especially if you are seeking help with a property matter .
If you want to look a little deeper into any firm in England & Wales though, we absolutely recommend checking out to see if The Law Society fo...
www.pcslegal.co.uk: Some only act as go-betweens and outsource that work to a separate law firm.
The firm's branding seems solid around the name PCS Legal Ltd based in Essex with the official site at www.pcslegal.co.uk which makes it easier to remember and to not make mistakes. But alway...
www.sarahandrewslaw.co.uk:
class="infoquote "... So make sure you know what type of firm you are dealing with. With this, you can always check the experience and expertise of the solicitor you're interested in. They want the veteran 'loophole finder' in their corner (despite the fact that is...
www.solidaire.co.uk: But you've probably seen most law firms claiming to offer 'bespoke' services and promise a 'positive outcome'.

Some more notes...
www.sternberg-reed.co.uk: Titles such as 'Summer holidays: The rights of parents and carers" and 'Til death do us part – financial provision when a spouse or former spouse dies' .
class="infoquote "The firm merged with David Charnley & Co in 2007, TNT Kelly Solicitors in 2009 and TNT Soli...
www.thomasandthomassolicitors.co.uk: That's actually a bigger deal than you might think. No matter how many offices it gets, most businesses in Wales tend to have a local feel to them. Certainly those are dates for which the firm can reasonably claim both 'experience' and 'fresh ideas'. This can be incredibly...
www.tlps.co.uk: Common variants such as www.tlps.com or www.thelawpartnership.co.uk are currently owned by different firms. We do not add every single firm out there into a database for you to flick through. Plenty of experience there. The Law Society have a data-packed user-side offerin...

www.waterstoneps.com: That got us thinking.
This can be incredibly useful because there are a lot of sneaky ways some firms can use to make it sound as if they have far more experience than they do. As some tend to pack their pages with nothing but sales pitches. Of course, if the firm's w...
www.wildcatlaw.co.uk: Alot of firms might state they are 'award winning' without ever actually letting you know whether that award was for best logo design or something actually useful for practicing law. If you've already been through a dozen law firm websites today you'll probably have noticed ...
www.wilfordsmith.com: This is because the majority of people involved in a property transaction experience problems, delays, and general misery. Clearly there is not a 200-year-old solicitor sitting behind the desk. Which makes these statements almost useless for a consumer trying to tell the fir...
www.wolflaw.co.uk: That seems very unfair to us. This is usually as a percentage of any compensation recovered.
We don't recommend using this as a deciding factor on its own though. So the information doesn't actually help you separate this firm from the thousands of others you could us...
www.wymlegal.com: That's because conveyancing is one of the services where people are usually upset about something. The official site is HTTPS secure though for submitting your details via their contact form. However, in this instance, CLC accreditation is not the only stamp of approval....
