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: No variants we tried such as www.acslsolicitors.co.uk worked either. Little things like these can show a firm really interested in it's work, the people coming through their site, and that 'transparency' many claim to strive for. That's a big plus in our opinion and rarer th...


Amy King Solicitor: Most importantly you can see qualification dates. People are weird. class="infoquote "For more than 25 years, we have represented individuals in many areas of litigation"< div> < br> So when a firm makes a claim like this one on the Amy King website, you can ver...


Brian Barr Ltd: 'brian barr solicitors manchester'. Google has been moving towards a more local setup for reviews though, so sometimes you have to enter the location of the company as well as the name - e.g. The firm's branding is reflected in the web address with the official site being si...


Brodies Solicitors LLP: That may have been true a few decades back when the line between a large and small firm was obvious and fairly common.

Calio Claims by Lindsays: For example, our article on Lindsays which highlights the differences between a large firm with specialists, and a small specialist firm. That's probably why only 8% of people clicked that they trusted company provided testimonials in our poll last year. With that all...


Cook Law in Wirral: It's not always as easy to find reviews of legal companies though. But as they typically only post the positive comments - you don't get to see any potential negative themes if they exist. Google has changed how you find reviews of firms on their search though. Like wh...

Defank Solicitors Croydon: We have seen notes about a Defank Solicitor in Croydon but that seems to be the same firm as this one based slightly further north in Greater London. But you can get a 40-year veteran lawyer from a 1-year old law brand, and a 1-year newbie lawyer from a 200-year old law firm...


Dispute Resolver Consultancy: There are client testimonials on this firm's website. If the matter does go to court, sometimes using ADR beforehand can help define the issue and break it down to the specifics that are in dispute. 'dispute' and 'resolver'. We have plenty of regular multi practice fir...


Drummond and Miller Solicitors: That may sound like something you would never fall for. The law is constantly changing , but law firms themselves didn't really seem to change for a few centuries. class="infoquote "great value considering all the effort they expended on our behalf" "always willing ...


Eatons Solicitors Ltd: Many firms have testimonials on their websites, but that's not what people want to see. Sometimes it's just because they received a last minute official-looking email telling them the bank details have changed. So how can you tell whether the firm, or your individual solic...


EMD Law Solicitors: But all these changes and niche specialisations firms can now focus on thanks to being able to market their services online to a wider audience - has never negated the need for the standard 'high street' style solicitor's office. There's plenty of experience within t...

Eve Lake Conveyancing: Did you know that 'solicitors' and 'lawyers' are not the same thing in the UK? If you didn't know, don't worry. There are a lot of terms to contend with when searching for help with legal matters. class="infoquote "Reliable Conveyancing & Legal Services based in the H...


Frei Solicitors Ltd: So while a nationwide conveyancing firm might have 300+ reviews on an independent review forum such as Google, Trustpilot, or Facebook - a specialist divorce lawyer might have only a handful or even none. class="infoquote "extremely clear, concise, practical and cour...


Girlings Personal Injury Claims Ltd: The second guarantees you won't have to pay anything if your case wins. But are there any benefits differences in using a firm that has a split setup like this? class="infoquote "At Girlings we place the highest value on client care and the quality of our service an...

Heritage Park Family Law: If your family law matter is unlikely to require an actual court action - then that doesn't matter. If their name wasn't enough of a giveaway , the first line of their website: class="infoquote "Specialists in family law since 1994 representing clients in all aspects...

Kee Solicitors Family Law: Have you ever seen a legal practice saying they are outdated, lacking transparency, and unapproachable? Of course not. Apart from that though, the site is happily concise providing the information you would want to read rather than hundreds of pages with bland articles sim...


Large & Gibson Solicitors: Most of the time when firms are bought over or merge they also merge or drop one of the names. They then display the QS title before their own in any practice branding. class="infoquote "Meet your lawyer face-to-face and speak directly to staff familiar with your ma...


Lyons Law: That's how a firm can 'specialise' in a long list of cases. The most common complaint we hear is that they all look the same. that they are 'unfriendly' and 'outdated') then these great sounding words don't help in the pursuit of telling one firm from another. Because some c...


Mark Croft Motor Offence: You may see many references to 'time' on law firm's sites. While statements such as these on some solicitor websites are meant to give the impression of extensive experience - it's pretty much meaningless. There have also been concerted efforts to keep the amount a solicitor...


Marsden Rawsthorn Solicitors Ltd: Anything suspicious, make sure to call someone you know at the firm to check..

MPGQS: It would be great to see this from other regulatory bodies. The site is HTTPS secure for submitting your personal details via their online form. They assume a lengthy procedure and high costs. It not only provides greater insight into the process itself, but also highlight...

Crockett Solicitors: However we would not suggest putting as much stock in founding dates. You could end up with a 1-year green lawyer from a 40-year-old law firm and vice versa. There are so many scams involving law firms the SRA has a https: www.sra.org.uk consumers scam-alerts " search dat...


SG Murphy & Co Ltd: We had to search for the exact firm name which was entered as 'S.G Murphy' with the full stop. When was the last time you saw a firm admit to being 'rude', 'outdated', or 'lacking experience'? We've often praised the website of The Law Society of England & Wales for it...


Nero Legal Solicitors: 'nero legal glasgow'). Property law is the only time we see people leaving negative reviews on the other side's solicitor as well as their own. So searches for 'nero law' or 'nero solicitors' brought up the correct website just fine on search engines. class="infoquote...

Although people are quick to post a review of a movie they've just seen or a restaurant they've just eaten at - they are not as quick to ...


Solidaire Law Ltd: When firms had to rely on local word of mouth or distance between a customer and any advert they could place - legal practices would tend to try and take as many different case types as possible to ensure a steady stream of business. But you've probably seen most law firms c...


Sternberg Reed Solicitors: They offer a considerable amount of useful information to users. Titles such as 'Summer holidays: The rights of parents and carers" and 'Til death do us part – financial provision when a spouse or former spouse dies' . There are lots of other bits and piec...


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).
