A.C.S.L. Solicitors: class="infoquote "you will never be left feeling uninformed and we respond promptly to each stage of your file"< div> A quick note on navigation as you'll have seen from above that the official site uses the atypical tld www.acsl.org.uk rather than www.acsl.co....


Brian Barr Ltd: This firm, like many others, provides customer testimonials on their website: class="infoquote "Highly recommend this firm for their expertise in fibromyalgia" "made what was an extremely stressful time in my life easier to deal with" "found me a fantastic CBT the...


Brodies Solicitors LLP: Not many will be able to boast these sorts of numbers. This is true for all services from barristers to baristas. With the birth of the internet, people can now choose from hundreds of thousands of legal service providers across the nation rather than being tied to their l...


Calio Claims by Lindsays: For the new generations of potential clients looking up a law firm on the internet, they are simply more likely to want to use a firm called "Swift Claims" compared to "Swift & Johnson Solicitors Ltd". class="infoquote "Wherever possible, we aim to deal with claims on...


Cullimore Dutton Solicitors Ltd: If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation people 591481 cullimore-dutton-solicitors-limited?Solicitors=True" check out the page< a> for Cullimore & Dutton's staff for example you'll see a full list with clickable names for further information on eac...


CWJ Solicitors & Notaries: For example at this firm you can see a range of legal professionals with experience stretching over the past five decades. While most companies list customer testimonials on their websites, our poll a few years back indicated that they were not trusted nearly as much as the ...

Baker Hardman Ltd: This is an older name so you may wish to bookmark the site you want to return to just in case. However, some firms employ paralegals to do most of the work and interact with the client. While many firms provide customer testimonials on their website, most people tend to ig...


Defank Solicitors Croydon: For today's example we're using the website of the law firm Defank: class="infoquote "At Defank Solicitors, we are committed to providing expert legal services tailored to meet your specific needs."< div> A couple of things to watch out for when you're going thr...


Dispute Resolver Consultancy: class="infoquote "Dispute Resolver is an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) consultancy and not a law firm. There has been a rise in the use of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) in the UK. Google has also made changes so that reviews of a firm will often no...


Drummond and Miller Solicitors: class="infoquote "Words can’t express our gratitude for your kindness" "we had chosen the right lawyer to handle our application" "I had met a true professional who actually cared about our case"< div> It's an odd thing that company provided testimonials ca...


Eatons Solicitors Ltd: Many firms have testimonials on their websites, but that's not what people want to see. Never compare average star ratings for legal services. class="infoquote "Bradford-based Eatons Solicitors has merged with Bingley law firm Weatherhead and Butcher Solicitors, expan...


EDC Lord Solicitors: There is also a frequently asked questions (FAQ) section that addresses common questions and concerns clients may have. EDC Lord & Co Solicitors is a UK law firm that provides a variety of legal services to clients. 'edc lord and co solicitors southall'. Far too many people ...


EMD Law Solicitors: class="infoquote "At EMD Law we have a strong commitment to client care and aim to offer a friendly, efficient and cost effective service to all our clients."< div> Typically the first thing people do when checking up on a firm is to view the public comment boar...


Eve Lake Conveyancing: These are usually a lower cost option compared to a conveyancing solicitor. Sadly that difference is often not explained well by either. Be aware though, in either case, most mortgage lenders will only deal with certain conveyancers and solicitors https: www.lender...

Amy King Solicitor: class="infoquote "We represent each claim individually and invest our very best minds in every case we take on."< div> < br> This is often the centre of the argument between using a large or small firm to handle your case. https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk ...


Foster & Coleman Solicitors: If you've already flicked through a dozen law firm websites today looking for one that can help you with your case, you may have noticed that most of them have the same sort of language which makes it difficult to tell them apart. But always be aware of the website you are e...


Frei Solicitors Ltd: This brings us to today's tip which is not to judge a law firm by the number of reviews. The majority of clients that would use such a service will want recommendations. The firm's offical website follows the branding name www.freisolicitors.com, just watch the spelling or m...


Girlings Personal Injury Claims Ltd: Big thumbs up. Girlings certainly comes under that description so 'specialist solicitors' is a deserved term in this instance. class="infoquote "At Girlings we embrace change and are quick to adapt to meet the needs of our clients."< div> There are four ...


Harrisons Thames Valley Solicitors LLP: Also note that the full name of the firm is Harrisons Thames Valley Solicitors LLP. So if you see that name at the top of things it is the same company . Their areas of law also show they specialise in Property matters. For example, when we searched for "harrisons so...


HCR Law Solicitors: class="infoquote "We put our trust in the medical professionals who look after us. The database states Paul Broad qualified in 1979, Simon Biggin in 1983, Julie Acock joined the profession in 1991, Lynne Adams in 2005, Syed Alam 2012, all the way up to Hannah Akhtar ...


Heritage Park Family Law: Certainly a lot of firms will promise free initial discussions on their website. Since the explosion of the internet, we are now a good few decades away from people being forced to use the law firm on their local high street. The most common port of call is The Law Society o...


Horsley Holdings Ltd: That's more important than you might think as not all websites that take your details for a legal case are actual solicitors. Neither do any of the variants we tried such as www.horsleysolicitors.co.uk If you are going to look around for further information about the ...


Kee Solicitors Family Law: But we can confidently state it's not. But in the variants we tried the correct firm came up in searches. The site is also https secure for submitting your details via that callback form. Hopefully one day the Scottish database will be as good as the English (which is a to...


Large & Gibson Solicitors: class="infoquote "We have been meeting the legal needs of those in Portsmouth, Hampshire and beyond for over 120 years."< div> So when you read about the actual firm or check out reviews of them, you will be reading about Large & Gibson themselves. Most of the...


LS Legal Solicitors: class="infoquote "LS Legal Solicitors is a multi-service, specialist, diverse and dynamic law firm"< div> It's a misconception that any firm stating a wider case range must therefore spread their time between such cases and not have such a great amount of knowl...


Lyons Law: Lyons do this as well, but the majority of people (in fact, everyone we know) prefers to read the comments left on public boards such as Google, Trustpilot or Facebook. However, despite it looking slightly odd for a law firm to claim it specialises and then rattle off a long...


Mark Croft Motor Offence: Because if you've already flicked through a few dozen legal service websites today, you'll have noticed that many use the same wording, make the same promises, and even used practically the same images of people shaking hands and smiling. They are too busy https: www.daily...


McCarthy and Co Solicitors: It took us a few attempts on the Irish Law Society website just to get https: www.lawsociety.ie find-a-solicitor Solicitor-Firm-Search ?filters=t_tab2!q_McCarthy+%26+Co.+LLP#tab2" the search function< a> to work properly. So always make sure you're on the correct site. S...


SG Murphy & Co Ltd: On the law society's website they are listed as S.G Murphy & Co Ltd. In the last piece we wrote the firm had multiple complaints about feeling fobbed off onto junior staff. As we've pointed out in other articles, firms that are involved in buying and selling properties tend ...


Nicholson Jones Sutton Solicitors Ltd: That's not a criticism. A quick note on navigation as while the main branding is Nicholson Jones Sutton Solicitors, the official website is www.njslaw.co.uk and is https secure for submitting your contact details via the online form. If you https: solicitors....


Oakwood Property Solicitors: class="infoquote "Our Solicitors, Paralegals and support staff take great pride in the service we offer to our clients."< div> This is especially useful in working out whether a firm has actual real experience . class="infoquote "Our dedicated team of ...


PCS Legal Conveyancing: Before going ahead with anything make sure you have spoken to both parties to ensure they are willing to work together. Solicitors may work with The Law Society. class="infoquote "Welcome to PCS Legal. For example, you can see that PCS Legal https: solicitors.law...


Solidaire Law Ltd: One positive benefit of the internet has been the rise in specialist law firms . But with people able to just look up any firm across the whole of the UK, firms that specialise in one or two areas of law can keep their focus and still do well. Solidaire Solicitors is the tr...


Sternberg Reed Solicitors: Neither of the variants such as www.sternbergreed.co.uk get you to the correct place though and we spotted a specialist site for the firm's family law department at www.srfamilylawsolicitors.co.uk Keeping an eye out to make sure you know where you are at all times is b...


Thomas & Thomas Solicitors: That's because hardly anyone is ever happy with how long it takes and there are always problems (most of which are outside the solicitor's control but still they get the blame). The same for anything in Scotland above the Edinburgh Glasgow line. Beyond that, you have ...


The Law Partnership Ltd: The official site we link to above is www.tlps.co.uk and is HTTPS secure . 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". With extra emphasis on g...


TWB Probate Solicitors Ltd: But could your loved ones end up having to foot the bill for your penny-pinching later on? First issue to cover is that there are not just two options - i.e. However, considering the changes governments can make and even the huge difference between how life insurance p...


UVS Law Ltd: While it's very (very, very) easy to assume all government officials are corrupt and take bribes, it shouldn't be necessary if your lawyer has the skills required. class="infoquote "We understand that the immigration process can be complex and confusing, which is why...


Walker Foster Ltd: The Law Society of England & Wales has an amazing site rivalling anything their counterpart organisations currently offer. How many times have you read 'award winning' with no mention of what the award was for? If it was for best logo design then it's clearly not an award ...


Waterstone PS: Today's article is based on the firm Waterstone PS or Waterstone Partnership Solicitors to give it the full title. But we can't stress enough the importance of reading actual comments and not just relying on star ratings when it comes to comparing firms. Because al...


Wildcat Law Solicitors: Sometimes simply because they received https: todaysconveyancer.co.uk newlyweds-duped-into-handing-over-45000-house-deposit-to-fake-solicitor-account-after-scam-email " an official-looking email< a> saying the payment details had suddenly changed. Sound results."< div> ...


Wilford Smith: For example 'wilford smith solicitors sheffield' brings up totally different reviews to 'wilford smith rotherham'. However other companies may use clever wording to try and make their claims seem bigger than they are. A firm covering personal and business matters with local ...


Wolf Law Ltd: That seems very unfair to us. Wolf Law show a mix of abilities with solicitor Nadeem Akhtar qualifying as such in 1999 and Lyndsy Sword joining the profession in 2019. This is usually as a percentage of any compensation recovered. Fresh eyes in wise heads? Either way...


WYM Legal Solicitors: But 'leading' is one of those words that doesn't really give you a specific metric you can measure against another firm. That includes any alternate trading names, contact details, all office locations, and languages spoken. So what things can be useful? First it sh...


Law Solicitors: But the first thing we would recommend when searching for legal help is not to get taken in with marketing jargon. So how can you discern one firm from another? As an example we're going to cover a firm called Law based in Preston. The worst currently target propert...
