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: Sometimes based on just a couple of official looking emails telling them to suddenly switch to paying their huge house deposit into a completely different bank account. In this case, the solicitors certainly aren't 'green'. class="infoquote "ABS Lawyers are a law firm ...


Aconveyancing Ltd: But also because most people end up cross with their conveyancer at some point during the sale or purchase. https: www.theguardian.com money 2017 jan 14 lost-67000-conveyancing-scam-friday-afternoon-fraud-legal-sector-email-hacker" Scammers are taking millions from UK buy...


Allsop Durn Dearlove: However this is something you can often check yourself with independent sources . A quick note on navigation. As the firm has decided to use two surnames for their firm title - you're unlikely to get it mixed up with others. Anything about bank details or payments wou...


Antony Hodari Legal Services: We never know what fraudsters will come up with next though so just keep aware of the sites you're on and never discuss payments via email. class="infoquote "We specialise in acting for tenants where their landlord has failed to repair their property or protecting de...


Assured Probate Services: The main website is www.aps-legal.com and www.aps-legal.co.uk will redirect you there. We could email you from an @amazon.co.uk address right now saying your payments have failed. Either they are unbelievably niche in their target market, have achieved impressive growth...


Aspire Licensing & Administrative Services: But this shouldn't pose a huge amount of risk anyway due to the area of law they deal in. Obviously, never discuss such payments via email or even with someone that calls you up. provide advice and guidance should a contested hearing need to be arranged and assist wi...


Bilkus and Boyle: Never discuss payment or bank details via email. The number of scams relating to conveyancing and property in general have been increasing for years. For example, we have three 5 star reviews on Trustpilot but due to the way they calculate averages - we only have a 3.5 star...


BLZ Solicitors Ltd: If you've seen a firm with dozens of solicitors, some with over twenty years experience, across a wide range of case types - will they handle your case (and you personally) with better care than a smaller, newer firm? Is enthusiam for you and your case more important than ex...


Catteralls in Wakefield: The most common errors of www.catterall.co.uk, www.catterallsolicitors.co.uk, and to a lesser extent the dot coms as well are all owned by other companies too. But the reason we point out how easy it is to get mixed up is because this firm deal with Property Conveyancing mat...


DFA Law Solicitors: That simply means their marketing guy has added all the working years of the staff together. Right up to Michael Nadin (qualified in 2010) and Christopher De Luca (qualified 2019). It's clearly working for them too because https: suite.endole.co.uk insight company OC...


Dylan Nair Ltd Solicitors: As you can see from the snippets above, they're largely quite positive . But just keep aware whether you've come back to the correct site by either bookmarketing it for later or searching for the correct firm. You never know if that one star criticism is from an old opponen...


Special Education Needs Lawyer: It's just that people are much more likely to jump online to rant or rave about their new toaster than they are about such personal matters. We've seen quite a few lawyers offering a full hour's face to face consultation to discuss your case for free. Therefore the num...


Fair Result Divorce: As if on seeing 'established in 1821' on a law firm's site, the general public will believe a 200 year old solicitor is sat on a throne somewhere in the office imparting sage advice to junior members. Although according to our poll last year, not even single digit percentage...


Fieldfisher Solicitors LLP: One thing most people agree on is that seeing 'established in 1881' or some such ancient date proudly stamped across a firm's website - no longer provides much sway. It's pretty much a universal given at this point. class="infoquote "We are one of the UK's leading pers...


Hawkridge & Co Solicitors: Hawkridge & Company are another firm which may appear like a regular high street firm, but they actually tick a lot of boxes for us that you typically don't get from many other legal practices. Sometimes over something as simple as a couple of offical looking emails tellin...


Howe and Co Solicitors: All that put together clearly makes them a very established firm and it's hard to deny them the use of the word 'leading' with all that in mind. It can be quite difficult to dig out the pertinent details in order to make what feels like an informed decision. And by tiny,...


Ian Mallon Solicitors Ltd: Ian Mallon are signed up with both the Northern Ireland Law Society and The Law Society of England & Wales. The official site we link to is www.ianmallon.com with www.ianmallon.co.uk not currently showing anything. The idea is to find a handful of different types of law offi...


Jacobs Law Solicitors: We link to the official site for this firm which is www.jacobslaw.org, and not a standard tld ending for a law firm. It's not as though any would say the opposite either. For all we know, that could mean they know what email is. A great feature is being able to see the ...

Allan Argue and Co Solicitors: Litigation issues tend to follow the same pattern though and most Personal Injury firms will cover the majority of types. They make a further point about this on the Argue & Co website: class="infoquote "Allan's vision for Argue & Co Legal is to establish a small ...


Khan Law Glasgow: If you've already been through a dozen websites of law firms today, you'll probably have been disheartened at just how similar they all seem. That can make them sound very different from the public reviews and they are of course only ever positive comments: class="inf...

Deo Volente Legal: Reviews for property firms are therefore usually much lower than those for firms covering any other type of matter. A good mix of seasoned wisdom alongside new fresh blood. We try to offer varied legal service options across a wide range of case types. Something you'd li...


Levins Solicitors: At a 200-year-old firm you may get a 1-year qualified solicitor acting for you. Hopefully that can be sorted out soon. You can see the massive difference between the great information provided on the England & Wales law society website though when you check out alterna...


Lindsays Solicitors Scotland: Lindsays deal with many cross border issues so have to deal with English law when it comes to things such as property sales. By that we mean there are many websites out there set up to look as though they are a legitimate personal injury or conveyancing firm - when in realit...


Linkilaw Solicitors Ltd in London: The flip side of this is that many commercial law firms can seem unapproachable regarding the smaller details of having your own business. If you check out https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 631933 linkilaw-solicitors-limited" the section for this firm< a> yo...


Mason Bullock Solicitors: The reason we were so keen though, was simply from one opening line on their website: class="infoquote "When you want fast, convenient and savvy advice on employment law or setting aside a CCJ, think Mason Bullock Solicitors."< div> This may look like an ordinary ...


McEwan Fraser Legal Scotland: We tried it with a few of our own home addresses and the quotes were in the ball park. Such availability by McEwan Fraser during a very stressful process hasn't gone un-noticed as you'll read in most of the comments across review boards such as Trustpilot, Yell.com,...


Mckie Legal Solicitors Ltd: Hence the popular no win, no fee slogan across all their websites. There are plenty of things you might not have thought of though that can identify a firm as offering more than another. But whether a solicitor charges a success fee or not shouldn't be the end-all of yo...


MGBe Legal Ltd: Not so with MGBe as https: mgbelegal.com blog " their blog section< a> articles seem genuinely intended to help with titles such as 'The 7 most common errors in EEA Permanent Residence applications' and 'For better or worse: the new Legal Aid Immigration contrac...


NV Legal Solicitors: The first simply means that if your case loses, there will be no fees. A very basic example, but hopefully illustrates that whether a firm offers 100% compensation or not should not be a dealbreaker. You can end up having someone's secretary as your only point of contact. We...


OTS Immigration Solicitors: These are on the national, county or often city level if the population is big enough. OTS Solicitors is one such firm. Including costs" "brilliant from the start and supported me every step of the way" "responded promptly and professionally to all correspondence"...


Pacific Law: However we have worked with some of the key players in the past. will probably continue for some time. Either way should really make no difference to your choice though. In fact there seems to be a very clear split in the industry, with one section of legal practices b...


Penerley Solicitors: The most common typos we'd expect would be www.penerleys.co.uk, www.penerly.co.uk or the dot com versions and currently none of those are owned by anyone. Whilst people are very happy to talk about their local hairdresser online - they are not so eager to discuss their div...


Pump Court Chambers Barristers: Even if someone phones you up asking about money, don't be afraid to politely decline and ring the firm back on the official number you have. not the very nice helpful receptionist at the start of your enquiry or the senior clerk that got everything organised. So how can you...


RD Costings Ltd: The focus is usually on Road Accidents, Work Injuries and Slip Trips. They're also not against an insurance company but against a goverment organisation - the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA). class="infoquote "RD Costings ... (Yes, we have experience i...


Reid and Black Solicitors: For a start, Military Claims are a much rarer case type to be taken on by most personal injury handling firms. But for now, if you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 508489 reid-black-solicitors-limited" take a look at the page< a> for this firm on The Law Society...


Suhail Ahmad at Richmond Legal: Of course, you should never discuss payments or bank details via email . For example, when we added the word 'reviews' to some of the search phrases we were shown a list of places called Middleton in Richmond - rather than companies called Richmond in Middleton. The f...


Robin Somerville Barrister: For any law office, a lack of public reviews should never be taken as a bad sign . If you've used our search facility before, you'll probably already have noticed that we do not cram our lists with thousands of practically identical legal practices. For example, an acco...


Conveyancing Search Providers: class="infoquote "We are a well established market leader in England & Wales dedicated to offering our clients the best solutions available on the market at the best prices in an accurate and timely manner."< div> That's a snippet from The Search Bureau's website....


Springle Solicitors: This can cause huge issues for those left behind who are already dealing with the death itself. class="infoquote "We're independently owned and we believe that smaller is better. The official website is www.springleandco.co.uk which we link to above, with www.springle...


SR Law Solicitors London: Sadly the number of people https: conversation.which.co.uk money scam-watch-property-housing-deposit-bank-transfer " falling for bank deposit scams< a> when buying selling a property is only on the rise. You'll find there are plenty of firms who state they have transparen...


Stenfield Solicitors Ltd: Also at the moment neither www.stenfieldsolicitors.com or the .co.uk version are owned by anyone. 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 ...


The Injury Solicitor Salford: 100% compensation guaranteed, on the other hand, promises no part of you compensation will be taken. But the start date of any law firm is not the same as having experience. There is no 200-year-old solicitor sat behind a desk imparting wisdom to the rest of the staff. You c...


Thorpe Wilson Ltd: As mentioned earlier, there are plenty of independent review boards to check such as Google, Trustpilot, Yell.com, Yelp, etc. Whilst the majority of scams at the moment https: www.thetimes.co.uk static connected-families conveyancing-email-scam-hackers-steal-house-deposi...


Trust Inheritance Limited: There is a whole section https: trustinheritance.toolboxx.co.uk #bereavement" offering various products< a> to tailor towards what you might need if you're looking to handle the matter by yourself as much as possible. We've talked a lot before about specialists versus gen...


TSABI Ltd Solicitors: For example, the last firm we reviewed had a lot of negative comments about how clients were constantly passed over to secretaries and junior staff rather than the solicitor that was meant to be in charge of the case. A quick bit about navigation. Whilst you may think ...
