The people at 1to1Legal have been working in the industry for over 20 years and have worked with hundreds of firms and thousands of solicitors. Here are links to our colleagues unbias comments on firms we know:

A.C.S.L. Solicitors: However, that is not the case. class="infoquote "ACSL Solicitors launched in 2009. class="infoquote "Whenever we act for you we will provide you with a 'no fuss' service."< div> Of course all firms are going to claim being friendly and providing a simp...


Amy King Solicitor: The official website is www.amykinglegal.co.uk which we link to at the top. Many firms will display accreditations and awards: class="infoquote "appointed a member of the specialist panel of Personal Injury solicitors in 2001"< div> < br> Just keep an eye out for ...


Baker Hardman Ltd: Hopefully they will get their butts in gear and catch up to the English Welsh version soon. There are thousands of websites targeting potential law firm clients to try and get them to hand over their case details. So we always recommend reading through comments when lookin...


Brian Barr Ltd: There is only the one office so a search for their name will usually bring up their site, links to regulatory bodies, company reviews, and so on. The firm's branding is reflected in the web address with the official site being simply www.brianbarr.co.uk (www.brianbarr.com do...


Brodies Solicitors LLP: But there are other points about navigation we should cover as well. class="infoquote "Alzheimer Scotland has been our charity partner since 2020, and we are proud to have raised more than £150,000 with fundraising initiatives"< div> . They are clearly a well...


Calio Claims by Lindsays: We don't know a single firm that charges for losses. That's why we always recommend people read the actual comments and never just flick through star ratings when deciding which firm to use. That's probably why only 8% of people clicked that they trusted company provided t...


Cook Law in Wirral: Either way we always recommend reading the actual comments rather than flicking through star ratings. There are other firms with the name "Cook" in them. So you may wish to bookmark the site just in case you are coming back later. Law firms authorised to practice in Engl...


Cullimore Dutton Solicitors Ltd: Sadly due to the volatile nature of property buying and selling, there is usually one side of it that comes away less happy than they expected. Not so many firms are forthcoming with such details, especially those trying to disguise their levels of experience. So they are in...


CWJ Solicitors & Notaries: In particular - property sales clients. So you may see any of these on reference, review or information sites such as the Law Society or SRA. Underneath this snippet from the firm's website, it also states the firm was founded in 1875 before moving to Orpington, Kent in 1951...


Defank Solicitors Croydon: There are hundreds of websites out there pretending to look like an official law firm when they are actually simply gathering people's case details to sell on to solicitors. It's the person taking the case that's most important to you. If they have a valid SRA number (Soli...


Drummond and Miller Solicitors: That may sound like something you would never fall for. But just be wary and be careful about the things you do discuss via email. Make sure to read the comments to see what kind of things might be being complained about or what things the firm seems to get right. That's pro...


Eatons Solicitors Ltd: You don't see that for any other case type such as a disgruntled divorcee complaining their spouse's firm won. They also seem to have bought other variants such as www.eatonssolicitors.co.uk which is actually much more helpful and security conscious than you might think. D...


EDC Lord Solicitors: The site also includes a blog section that features articles and updates on legal topics of interest, such as employment law, family law, and commercial law. The home page provides an overview of the firm's services and areas of expertise, along with a brief introduction to ...


EMD Law Solicitors: Ones that provide at least a little insight into the firm's dealings with customers, like these snippets above. This means that if you ever find a firm only has a handful or even zero reviews, don't take that as a negative sign. But you might find law firms are never ...


Eve Lake Conveyancing: Both deal with preparing contracts, land registry searches, local authority access checks, money transfers, etc. Serving clients nationally."< div> That's the tagline for the Eve Lake website which is an example of a Licensed Conveyancer. For today's article we ...


Foster & Coleman Solicitors: But always be aware of the website you are entering your details into and never discuss payment details via email just in case.. The site is https secure for submitting your personal details on their contact form. This isn't as big an issue for this firm as their case ra...


Frei Solicitors Ltd: The firm's offical website follows the branding name www.freisolicitors.com, just watch the spelling or maybe bookmark the site if coming back later? The site is HTTPS secure for submitting queries through the contact form. We know of long established veteran law firms w...


Girlings Personal Injury Claims Ltd: Some examples: Girlings' Jeremy Burke qualified in 1988, Kathryn Kennell in 1996, Michelle Meakin in 2009, right up to Steevi Henderson's relatively recent qualification in 2017. class="infoquote "Hypermobility syndrome is genetic, and while you therefore can not cla...


Harrisons Thames Valley Solicitors LLP: You can also rely on our help in re-mortgaging, selling, or buying a home."< div> . So you need to be really careful and ensure you are on the correct site because property matters are one of the https: www.lloydsbank.com help-guidance protecting-yourself-from-fraud keep-...


HCR Law Solicitors: The Law Society lists Child and Parent Law, Eagle HR, Harrison Clark Rickerbys inc Gordon Lutton, Harrison Clark Rickerbys inc Shawcross, wills at work, HCR Hewitsons inc Houlden Sweeney, HCR Law, and HCR Legal LLP Licensing, all as trading names they have used or are using....

Horsley Holdings Ltd: They also state (at the time of writing): class="infoquote "99% trials won. However, while that is still good advice in our opinion - we know it can be difficult to find information and background on newer firms. Pay special attention if the firm you're looking...

Law Solicitors: Currently, we are helping clients with their Wills, Probate, Divorce and Conveyancing needs."< div> One of the best independent resources we are always recommending to people is The Law Society of England & Wales. Most importantly it will tell you the qualific...


Kee Solicitors Family Law: 'kee solicitors in aberdeen'. But the 'high street solicitor office' handling a wide range of cases was more common. We can't even link to an actual page detailing just the solicitor's names. The property conveyancing market has been plagued for years by scammers https: ww...


Large & Gibson Solicitors: Large and Gibson claim to have been serving locally for over 120 years. A quick note on navigation. It is HTTPS secure though for submitting your https: www.sessions.edu notes-on-design what-is-https-and-why-is-it-important " personal information< a> on the conta...


Lyons Law: You can also check the cases each handles. But if a law firm states they have '20 years of combined experience' or '20 years of experience within the firm' - that means they've added up all the years between all staff members. The quote above is from the https: www....


Mark Croft Motor Offence: That's how uncommon it is. Another is the more useless of claims (in our opinion) such as 'established in 1881'. But it does have necessary and useful information http: www.mark-croft-solicitor.co.uk fee-guidance.html" such as fees< a>. However, if you see phrasing...


McCarthy and Co Solicitors: Even this quote above from the McCarthy & Co site about being award-winners is a claim made by so many of its rivals. So the phrase 'award-winning' is not of itself meaningful. Sometimes simply because they received an official looking email that said to change the bank pa...


SG Murphy & Co Ltd: However a poll we ran a few years back indicated that only 9% of people trusted company provided reviews. Including each side leaving negative feedback on each other's firm. If they all claim to be that way, then it doesn't help anyone to tell them apart. There is an https:...

Oakwood Property Solicitors: Those were some snippets from the firm's own website where they list several such testimonials. Especially the fact they offer direct contact details for each staff member as well. For example https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation offices 470186 oakwood-solicito...


PCS Legal Conveyancing: This is because unlike most legal services, much of the buying selling process for property is not in the control of the firm. class="infoquote "Our property lawyers have extensive legal experience in all fields of property law and are suitably qualified to deal with ...

Dispute Resolver Consultancy: They offer a 30 minute free consultation to discuss your issue and see if ADR can help get the matter resolved without the need for court.

Landlord Eviction Solicitor in Southport, Lancs: In 25+ years of working in the legal industry, we've never seen such a firm. Therefore while your local takeaway might have hundreds of reviews , your local solicitor might only have a handful. A solicitor is a qualified position. Another note on navigation. ...


Solidaire Law Ltd: For example, as we were searching today using just the name "solidaire law" we go no results at all. They provide information such as each firm's trading names, alternate contact details, areas of law covered, languages spoken by staff, and more. So if you don't get reviews ...


Sternberg Reed Solicitors: However you can actually look up the level of experience within most legal practices of England & Wales. The site is HTTPS secure for submitting your details on their contact form. Stating a larger size of firm can convey the idea of considerable resources for your case an...


Thomas & Thomas Solicitors: Conveyancing firms normally have the lowest ratings out of legal services on the web. Be aware that Google has changed how it displays reviews and nowadays you sometimes have to enter the location to see any reviews at all. So for a firm to have consistent 4+ star ra...


The Law Partnership Ltd: With the firm having generic terms in the branding it does mean you're less likely to get the correct firm when making errors too, such as searching for "the legal practice". We did an entire article on Conveyancing reviews because the majority of firms that handle conveyanc...


TWB Probate Solicitors Ltd: So what's the difference between using a firm like this and simply buying a "Will Kit" off Amazon? Certainly the immediate cost to you will be far less as it costs much less for one of these kits than to hire a professional. The Law Society of England & Wales howeve...

Walker Foster Ltd: That's a big bit of praise considering we're a old Scottish company. That's a big positive in our opinion. a long-established and respected general practice law firm founded in 1919, with offices in Skipton, Barnoldswick, Silsden, Settle, Ilkley, Northallerton and Harrogate....


Waterstone PS: However in our poll a few years back only 8% of you said you https: consumer.ftc.gov consumer-alerts 2022 09 should-we-trust-online-reviews" trusted such pages< a> on company sites anyway. Of course, if the firm's website is down then there will be no testimonials pages f...


Wilford Smith: A firm covering personal and business matters with local offices in Sheffield and Rotherham. They are a good example to use in order to provide insights and help into ways people can research law firms and ensure they get one that matches what they are looking for. Please ...


Wolf Law Ltd: Wolf Law don't make any such claims which is a good sign to start off with. We have seen some sites peg the firm in Birkenhead, Hoylake, Prenton, and Oxton. We don't recommend using this as a deciding factor on its own though. class="infoquote "Our expert te...


WYM Legal Solicitors: and an unusual three letter start - we've seen plenty of typos in our search function. . The official site we link to above is www.wymlegal.com and www.wymlegal.co.uk does not currently redirect there. Most will be cautious about what they say on a legal services website....
