Want Experienced Opinions from the Industry?

Not enough? Well not to worry. Here are some more of the helpful information articles our staff have drawn together and published on our main 1to1Legal website:

ABS Lawyers Ltd: They really actively target and can properly communicate with (and therefore surely better represent) Polish speaking claimants. If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation offices 600584 abs-lawyers-limited" check out the page for this firm< a> you'll se...


Aconveyancing Ltd: However from experience we and many other people have learned there is no 200 year old guru at any firm imparting all their wisdom to new staff. If someone calls or emails you about payments or bank details, you can always hang up and call the official phone number you ...


Allsop Durn Dearlove: For example, Allsop Durn have a good chunk of a page talking about their fees. Godfrey Newman qualified in 1979, David Durn in 1999, right up to Tracy Murgatroyd in 2014. We geniunely, 100%, not-making-it-up had a solicitor at one firm say to us "The Internet? No, we do...


Antony Hodari Legal Services: Almost a 'crusade' mentality. Something you'd want in any company really. We always recommend taking a quick look at the local law society page for any firm you're thinking of using. They even provide the qualification dates of any solicitors working at the firm whic...


Assured Probate Services: Unfortunately we're still unclear on the various qualifications than can be obtained. Plus many of the consultants have their own websites promoting their services. class="infoquote "APS Legal and Associates are one of the UK’s largest and most reputable will writing ...


Aspire Licensing & Administrative Services: But this shouldn't pose a huge amount of risk anyway due to the area of law they deal in. They also provide help with courses that will often be required in order to get certain licenses - if you don't have people already with those qualifications. Certainly we can't t...


Bilkus and Boyle: Fortunately there are resources online to help you distinguish between them a little better and hopefully make the decision easier. This could be a national one, county based, or city wide for larger population cities. The rest seem to refer to their actual services though...


BLZ Solicitors Ltd: Usually this does not affect compensation claims. You would think that these days with phone, email, and video chat - especially since the COVID pandemic - that any law firm could spare even just 15 minutes to discuss your case to see if it is something worth pursuing. ...


Catteralls in Wakefield: Catteralls are signed up with The Law Society of England & Wales which is great because they have a fantastic website full of consumer information on firms. For example, one firm we've written about previously claims a 150-year-history in the area simply because they moved...


DFA Law Solicitors: That simply means their marketing guy has added all the working years of the staff together. A last word from the DFA Law website which hopefully now sounds little more sincere after having checked through the extra bits and pieces above. DFA Law are with The Law Societ...


Dylan Nair Ltd Solicitors: 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 blurring for us. Legal issues are very personal. The official site we link to above is www....


Special Education Needs Lawyer: We've seen quite a few lawyers offering a full hour's face to face consultation to discuss your case for free. Criminal Injury and Uninsured Driver cases are often like this because they involved pursuing money from the government. That's still much better of course th...


Fair Result Divorce: But you never know what fraudsters are going to think up next though so just keep aware and never dicuss payments via email . At the moment https: www.halifax.co.uk aboutonline security protecting-yourself-from-fraud keep-your-home-safe-mortgage-deposit-scams.html" ...


Fieldfisher Solicitors LLP: No win no fee just means that if you LOSE there will be no fees. The firm has merged with others over the years including Martineau and Reid, Waterhouse & Co, Allison & Humphreys, etc. 100% compensation guaranteed means there will be no fees if you WIN either. They hav...


Hawkridge & Co Solicitors: As already pointed out in the last paragraph, the firm seems to be referred to quite interchangably online as both Hawk Law and Hawkridge & Company. These kinds of things are not automatically given to new firms or anyone that simply signs up to that organisation. Hawkridge ...


Howe and Co Solicitors: This can sometimes end up in reviews about the wrong firm being placed. A wide range of very seasoned, experienced practitioners alongside plenty of young blood to keep things fresh and moving forward. The official website we link to above is www.howe.co.uk, with www.howe....


Ian Mallon Solicitors Ltd: He attended the Institute of Professional Legal Studies Belfast in 2001 and was admitted as a Solicitor in Northern Ireland in 2002 and in the Republic of Ireland in 2003. When checking out review boards though, we always suggest you read comments rather than just look at s...


Jacobs Law Solicitors: The obvious idea they try to stick in your head is that the longer a firm had been established, the more experience must be within the firm. There are no 200-year-old solicitors sitting behind desks at these anciently established firms imparting guru knowledge to the re...

Allan Argue and Co Solicitors: It depends greatly on the case type. That leads us to another important factor when choosing a lawyer to represent you - enthusiasm . However it's easy to imagine getting lost in the numbers at a large firm as well. In this instance you're left to rely on the firm's ow...


Khan Law Glasgow: class="infoquote "Our Personal Injury Claims are dealt with on a 'no win no fee' basis."< div> It's something we've covered before but it's still causing confusion so we'll briefly cover it again: 'no win no fee' and '100% compensation' do not mean the same thing...

Deo Volente Legal: Debt recovery is another area where using a specialist non-solicitor-based company could be a better solution for your particular needs. Not every case requires a solicitor at a huge law firm. For example their Blog section is not just another excuse to push out extra sales ...


Levins Solicitors: Hopefully that can be sorted out soon. A good mix of seasoned wisdom alongside young blood eager to prove themselves. The firm has a range of experienced staff qualified over the past four decades such as David Woods (qualified in 1984), Tracy Morgan (2003), and Jonat...


Lindsays Solicitors Scotland: People who take your details and sell them on to actual firms to do the work. So is this positivity reflected on the third party forums as well? class="infoquote "extremely responsive, highly knowledgeable and very reassuring" "got everything done in no time and...


Linkilaw Solicitors Ltd in London: We might even have to disagree with them on the strength of that assessment as we have seen some very positive moves by even the stuffiest of established firms in recent years. On this occasion the alternate www.linkilaw.co.uk does not link to the main site. You never k...


Mason Bullock Solicitors: Mason Bullock Solicitors was an unusual situation for us when it came to deciding on whether to add them to our network. But www.mason&bullock.co.uk can't exist because you're not allowed ampersands in web addresses. To make sure you don't think we fast-tracked even just thi...


McEwan Fraser Legal Scotland: The Law Society of England & Wales have an amazing website that provides a huge amount of data user-side . Both in text and with little badges further down the page. Neither of which would impress you enough to use their actual services would it? McEwan Fraser Legal on...


Mckie Legal Solicitors Ltd: Usually with just a single email too, which is disturbingly easy . Not vice versa. There are plenty of things you might not have thought of though that can identify a firm as offering more than another. class="infoquote "Ive been asked a few times already 'which...


MGBe Legal Ltd: Here are a few of our reasons for doing so. The list official recommendations for using MGBe Legal are therefore quite high. Law Society accrediations are not simply stamps given out for show either. Author of numerous articles on EEA law and trainer with ILPA and HJT."< ...


NV Legal Solicitors: To ensure there are no fees at all whether you win or lose, a firm has to promise you both of these 'No win, no fee' and '100% compensation' statements. So how can you check the real background of a legal practice? Most legal professionals will be signed up to a Law S...


OTS Immigration Solicitors: class="infoquote "OTS Solicitors is one of the UK's leading law firms located in the City of London."< div> No matter how many law websites you've already dug through today, you'll have seen such a statement on all of them. (Wherever that expression came from.) ...


Pacific Law: This could include breaking away from the typical 9am-5pm Mon-Fri working hours and offering some late night appointments. Being able to communicate through Whatsapp or other text services has been seen. But the major mobile players we checked all direct 0800 for free now....


Penerley Solicitors: The official site we link to above is www.penerley.co.uk and www.penerley.com redirects you there as well. Never discuss bank details via email with anyone. Whilst people are very happy to talk about their local hairdresser online - they are not so eager to discuss their d...


Pump Court Chambers Barristers: So how can you work out the best one for you between the lines? class="infoquote "Our barristers and clerks are approachable, straightforward and focused on solving problems quickly and cost-effectively."< div> At the bottom of most of their website pages Pump Cou...


RD Costings Ltd: These can include Sexual Abuse, Emotional Abuse, Domestic Abuse, Assaults, and even the death of a loved one at the hands of another person. (Your solicitor needs to get paid, right?) However your solicitor will typically already be recovering their fees and expenses from th...


Reid and Black Solicitors: Quite often this is not reflected in the public reviews of those firms. If you compare it to https: www.lawsoc-ni.org reid-black-solicitors-limited528" the page about this firm< a> on the Northern Ireland Law Society website I think you might agree. Made my whole experien...


Suhail Ahmad at Richmond Legal: So when you see a law firm with only a handful or even zero reviews, just bear that in mind and don't take it as a negative sign . It's pretty bleak though and only getting worse. The most common typos we'd expect would obviously be www.richmondlegal.co.uk and the .com and ...


Robin Somerville Barrister: You essentially end up paying for two people to do the work of one and dragging the case out for longer. Not just for the legal industry either. We tried entering all the information it asked for and then different bits and pieces. Direct Access for the public to barris...


Conveyancing Search Providers: However, as already mentioned at the outset of this piece, there often isn't as much to go on when it comes to service providers to the law firms we often write about. The correct firm tends to come up at the top of search results for the majority of phrases we tried. ...


Springle Solicitors: As well as ensuring the advice you get is from a qualified and experienced professional. As the percentage of people writing a will has increased in recent decades, the idea of really thinking about what happens after you're gone has become more acceptable. class="infoqu...


SR Law Solicitors London: Julian Cohen and Mark Feldmann for example qualified back in 1975 and 1970 respectively. Always be aware that a law firm should never ask you about bank details in an email if you get one. So what about the public boards? class="infoquote "He advocated robustly on my b...


Stenfield Solicitors Ltd: Not to mention that Trustpilot's rating calculations mean that a firm with four 5 star reviews will end up with an average of 3 stars total. In this instance Stenfield have solicitors on board that started their careers off in practically every decade over the past thi...


The Injury Solicitor Salford: class="infoquote "The Injury Solicitor is a niche law firm specialising in recovering compensation for our clients who have been involved in a Road Traffic Accident"< div> Sadly, many people still can't tell the difference between an actual law firm and a websi...


Thorpe Wilson Ltd: So whether your case is an injury at work, in a car, or on a pavement - the core practice is the same. On the Law Society website and the firm's own footer notes you'll see that the firm can go by Thorpe Wilson Ltd or Thorpe Wilson Solicitors. So context is key. when there i...


Trust Inheritance Limited: We've talked a lot before about specialists versus general practice firms. The article we wrote just before this one was about a solicitor with 5 star reviews for being an excellent dog-friendly restaurant. They can certainly help. The most common reason is the expectati...


TSABI Ltd Solicitors: The branding has the longer name but you will find most things such as regulatory bodies mentioned above and review pages use the acronym version. This was back when they were originally called Asghar & Co Solicitors. Certainly if you see the same thing repeated a few times ...
