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: That means they've added up the experience years of everyone within the firm. class="infoquote "ABS Lawyers are a law firm with over 85 years of combined experience"< div> There are typically three ways for firms to give the impression that they have the experienc...

Stenfield Solicitors Ltd: We absolutely recommend reading through comments about a firm rather than relying on star ratings. This includes Joan Thorpe-Anderson who qualified in 1993, Caspar Kennedy in 2008, Deepa Sevani in 2015, and so on. Luckily Stenfield are members of The Law Society of England &...


Aconveyancing Ltd: The Law Society of England & Wales has an excellent website full of user-side data for you to flick through. Such as when looking up news articles they had been quoted in. In Scotland, you'll see far less negative comments of that type due to the different laws preventin...


Antony Hodari Legal Services: We always recommend taking a quick look at the local law society page for any firm you're thinking of using. It will tell you alternative trading names they use, other possibly more local offices to you, languages spoken, speciality case types, and more. Antony Hodari ...


Assured Probate Services: class="infoquote "APS Legal and Associates are one of the UK’s largest and most reputable will writing and estate planning companies."< div> Most websites make claims like this using terms such as "estimated", "possibly", "one of the", "up to" and so on. cl...


Allan Argue and Co Solicitors: You will find it more likely for an actual solicitor to answer the phone and talk to you at a smaller firm which clients tend to feel better about . That brings us back to the tie-breaker we mentioned before and why we always recommend calling the firm to speak to some...


Aspire Licensing & Administrative Services: In fact, an experienced accountant could cost much less yet be far more effective . Obviously, never discuss such payments via email or even with someone that calls you up. A last word from Aspire's own site: class="infoquote "Aspire Licensing and Administrative Ser...


Bilkus and Boyle: Be aware that no genuine web address can have an ampersand such as www.bilkus&boyle.com and none of the name-only variants such as www.bilkusboyle.com or the .co.uk's seem to be owned by anyone. You may also find that many of the lowest ratings often have nothing to do...


BLZ Solicitors Ltd: class="infoquote "We specialise in data breach claims, noise induced hearing loss, immigration and PPI"< div> This, however, is a far more telling sentence from the BLZ Solicitors' website. Usually this does not affect compensation claims. If you want to check up...


Catteralls in Wakefield: In all honesty, no legal practice has a 200+ year old solicitor sitting behind a desk issuing sage advice. They stated as such on their about us page. class="infoquote "Catteralls Solicitors have been based in Wakefield, West Yorkshire for over 100 years."< div> ...


DFA Law Solicitors: Always a good sign. Alternative contact details, other offices, SRA authority information, practice case focuses and more. However the DFA Law news section has genuine articles intended to inform people about real matters. If you've been through quite a few solicitor's we...


Deo Volente Legal: A few articles back we covered a law firm that had a 5 star review for being such a great dog-friendly restaurant. DV Solicitors have other positive points. Far better than most others we've used. A good mix of seasoned wisdom alongside new fresh blood. We've even ...


Dylan Nair Ltd Solicitors: If a solicitor doesn't have a profile on their website. It's when people mistype directly into a browser bar that things can sometimes go wrong. class="infoquote "We understand you place a great deal of faith in solicitors; this is why we only use experts."< div...

Mckie Legal Solicitors Ltd: But when it comes to solicitors, no reviews should not be taken as a negative sign. class="infoquote "Ive been asked a few times already 'which Barrister did you use?'"< div> This is a quote from the firm's website relating to a review from another law firm (Scot...


Special Education Needs Lawyer: If you've already been through a dozen law firm's sites today looking for one to help and didn't notice - just try typing a few of their company names into Google and see the opening hours that pop up. A quick note on navigation as the firm uses quite generic terms for...


Fair Result Divorce: class="infoquote "It reduces the stress and emotion, speeds up the process and above all, it reduces costs."< div> At this point we started searching around for customer reviews about the firm. This includes direct access barristers, non-legal solutions, and media...


Fieldfisher Solicitors LLP: A quick note on navigation as always. class="infoquote "At Fieldfisher we cater for clients with complex, difficult and high value personal injury, medical negligence and asbestos claims."< div>. We therefore think there may be some confusion with the firm'...


Fultons Estate Agents: Being a Peterhead-based firm ourselves it's a tough thing to see even the basics such as Law Society databases being so much clearer and informative south of the border. class="infoquote "Many of our clients choose Fulton's because they have used us before, or b...


Hawkridge & Co Solicitors: A quick note on navigation because we are talking about a property dealing firm. 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 automatica...


Hooper Hyde Solicitors: There are many case types where people tend to seek out specialist firms almost to the avoidance of general practice firms. The only legal services we've seen consistent reviews on are conveyancing firms because people always have plenty to say about how their house ...


Howe and Co Solicitors: class="infoquote "Extremely professional, focused and experienced solicitor" "we're grateful, you are our life saver" "reception are always calm & on hand to help" "go above and beyond to ensure they provide professional service"< div> The majorit...

Jacobs Law Solicitors: You can get a 1-year-qualified solicitors handling your case at a 200-year-old firm.

Khan Law Glasgow: Using an experienced lawyer who takes 20% of a £5000 hard fought win is better than having a less expert lawyer take 0% of a £2000 settlement. We can

Levins Solicitors: class="infoquote "We were established in 1986 as Keith Levin & Co, initially in Huyton village."< div> There is a trend amongst law firms to state the most ancient founding date they can no matter how tenous the link. We don't just gush about how wonderful they a...


Lindsays Solicitors Scotland: Search engines seem to bring up the correct firm no matter what variants we used. But one thing that impressed us about Lindsays is the same sort of lack-of-boasting as we saw with their testimonials page before. Most law firms are signed up to a national, county, or town ...


Linkilaw Solicitors Ltd in London: The internet provides access to information, stats, reviews and so on. Sadly there is a large chunk of business owners who will whole heartedly accept what a YouTube vlogger tells them is the correct way to do things. A few new types of business law firm have started em...


Mason Bullock Solicitors: Mason Bullock don't have a company-made testimonial section on their site either. There were obviously a few niggles in our research. So it's always a good idea to bookmark sites like this if you plan on returning and never discuss payments or bank details via emai.. ...


McEwan Fraser Legal Scotland: However, one of the properties showed a possible selling margin of £60,000 difference between a high and low estimate. If anyone emails or phones you about payments or bank details - do not respond. And that was only on a £260,000 house. Also be aware that it's very easy to ...


MGBe Legal Ltd: If you've visited a few dozen law firm websites already today you'll have seen most use the News or Blog sections to write a couple of lines about a common news article followed by twenty paragraphs of more sales pitches about why you should use their services. What about p...


NV Legal Solicitors: We've seen plenty of people complain about firms where you don't even get to speak to your solicitor directly. A very basic example, but hopefully illustrates that whether a firm offers 100% compensation or not should not be a dealbreaker. The first simply means that if your...


OTS Immigration Solicitors: These are on the national, county or often city level if the population is big enough. OTS' claims about their extensive media coverage are certainly true. There are quite a few ways to check the differences between firms though. It is a good hallmark of establishment...


Pacific Law: Pacific Law is very new addition to our database of law firms and they are a very new firm as well. However we have worked with some of the key players in the past. We've seen one law firm get a stunning review that ended with the phrase 'best dog-friendly restaurant ever'...


Penerley Solicitors: There were all positive , but none of the reviews had left any useful comments. class="infoquote "At Penerley we are committed to providing the best possible level of service to our clients."< div>. They naturally want to point out - that's not them. By that we mean ...


Pump Court Chambers Barristers: A quick note on navigation as there are many chambers using 'pump court' in their name. So choosing one is just as much a point of discernment as any other law firm selection. Ever since the new Direct Access scheme was introduced into the UK, we've been big fans of ...


RD Costings Ltd: No win, no fee just means that if your case loses you will not have to pay anything. Sadly, thousands of people are handing over their bank details https: www.telegraph.co.uk money katie-investigates has-68k-house-deposit-fraudster-hsbc " and paying deposits to fraudster...


Reid and Black Solicitors: One last clip from the firm's own website showing a further service they offer that many firms no longer help with: class="infoquote "undertakes Legal Aid and Private paying work"< div>. class="infoquote "We are here to look after you"< div> Again, most...


Suhail Ahmad at Richmond Legal: It's also become more of a pain to organise. Typically firms will handle a wide range of case types, or they will specialise. The main one for English Welsh legal professionals is The Law Society of England & Wales and it is simply an excellent resource for people to use. ...


Robin Somerville Barrister: Direct Access for the public to barristers has been a hugely welcome change in the legal system . 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. If you are thinking ...


Conveyancing Search Providers: We saw a few other related names including Premier Searches Limited and Conveyancing Compare, but they all have their own sites. to confirm past client opinions. However, as already mentioned at the outset of this piece, there often isn't as much to go on when it comes to se...


Springle Solicitors: The first port of call we usually recommend to help start telling them apart is The Law Society in your area. Just some star ratings. Rather than separate services with different firms, you sort out everything in one place. But how do you work out which firm might be b...


SR Law Solicitors London: Julian Cohen and Mark Feldmann for example qualified back in 1975 and 1970 respectively. How do you know which is best for you? How do you even know what to research in the first place? Obviously it's not possible for us to come up with a hundred or so legal issues each...


The Injury Solicitor Salford: We should briefly discuss this statement more generally though: class="infoquote "All claims are handled on a No Win No Fee basis"< div> Whilst the majority of law firms say this, there seems to be some confusion about what it actually means. A few other bi...


Trust Inheritance Limited: There are dozens out there, but the most commonly used are Google Reviews, Yelp, Trustpilot and Yell. "Estate Planning" firms on the other hand do much more. So why might you pick a niche firm like Trust Inheritance Ltd over your local high street firm that cover...


TSABI Ltd Solicitors: TSABI Ltd aka The Solicitors Advocates & Barristers Inc first caught our eye as being a larger firm that still handled Legal Aid cases. This was back when they were originally called Asghar & Co Solicitors. On this occasion, it definitely seems to be the case with a range ...
