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: Most importantly they will show the areas of law and qualification dates of each lawyer within the firm. So if anyone knows about law firm's websites, we're surely in that list . We did see a few negative comments but they were unclear and the firm has commented the name a...


Amy King Solicitor: If you type in the name of a firm instead, you will be shown a list of all registered solicitors within the firm and can click for individual details. (Yes, even law firms use sneaky marketing tricks.) Is experience the only driving factor in choosing a solicitor? Of...


Baker Hardman Ltd: It sounds great, but most firms will make claims such as these on their websites too. As most fraud related to legal services happens via email. This is an older name so you may wish to bookmark the site you want to return to just in case. So when a firm states you have 'd...


Brian Barr Ltd: But expertise is not the whole story. However some firms are better at client testimonials than others. If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 490026 brian-barr-limited" look up the page< a> for this firm you'll see several staff with a range of qualif...


Brodies Solicitors LLP: We can't even link you to a page to view the details they hold. You can receive great attention from a large firm and some small specialist firms have amazing resources and experience to draw on . The firm's branding usually includes the main name even if it does sometimes ...


Cook Law in Wirral: Either way we always recommend reading the actual comments rather than flicking through star ratings. It's not always as easy to find reviews of legal companies though. The site is https: www.techtarget.com searchsoftwarequality definition HTTPS" HTTPS secure< a> ...


Crockett Solicitors: A theme of a caring attitude was most prevalent. In the past we've seen a divorce law firm get a negative review for refusing to take on someone's personal injury claim. We also recommend reading actual comments rather than flicking through star ratings when it comes to leg...


CWJ Solicitors & Notaries: There are also mentions of Clarkson Wright & Jakes Notaries. One of the great things about the birth of the internet is how it has impacted the legal service industry. That's a wide cross-section of seasoned heads with fresh eyes if you don't mind mixing some metaphors. Wh...


Defank Solicitors Croydon: class="infoquote "Our costs are completely transparent, competitive and always openly discussed ahead of all instructions."< div> Many Conveyancing firms will have costs listed right on their website. class="infoquote "Our firm is proud to serve the Londo...


Eatons Solicitors Ltd: Never compare average star ratings for legal services. Firms will try to express experience in many ways. The official site is currently www.eatons-solicitors.co.uk with www.eatons-solicitors.com redirecting you there. For example a firm might say it has '20 years of experie...


EMD Law Solicitors: We try to ensure we can recommend a range of services in each area, not just cram every single firm onto a page. But you might find law firms are never drowning in reviews - good or bad. class="infoquote "The firm has two offices; the Head Office is in Staplehurst, ...


England & Derbyshire Solicitors: It isn't always clear when this is the case though and the term "specialist" gets thrown around a lot. That could be because the firm's name uses terms usually associated with location - i.e. The official website is www.englandderbyshire.co.uk which we link to above. ...

Nero Legal Solicitors: We recommend never accepting such a huge change via email. So searches for 'nero law' or 'nero solicitors' brought up the correct website just fine on search engines. Some people have https: www.which.co.uk news article friday-afternoon-fraud-the-scam-that-wipes-out-your-h...


Eve Lake Conveyancing: We've even seen people leave reviews on the other side's solicitors trying to badger then into hurrying up with something. These are usually a lower cost option compared to a conveyancing solicitor. Both of these types should be trained, regulated and insured . Sadly that...


Farah Family Law: It does, but if you're not really a specialist - should you be using it? We think there are only two setups which should allow the use of the word "specialist" when it comes to law firms. Be alert and always ring up the official number you have if you have any doubts...


Frei Solicitors Ltd: People are simply not as quick to rush online and discuss how their criminal arrest, messy divorce, life changing injury, or child custody matter went compared to, for example, the pizza they just ordered. class="infoquote "Frei Solicitors is an international, boutiqu...


Girlings Personal Injury Claims Ltd: Today's article focuses on the firm Girlings which has a setup that might seem different and even unusual today, but which was completely common just a decade ago. Both are HTTPS secure for submitting your personal details via the contact forms. The Government has co...


Garden Stirling Burnet: Sometimes a law firm will be specialist in an area of law such as litigation, but such may have multiple case titles within it such as personal injury, medical negligence, professional negligence, etc. The Law Society's https: www.lawscot.org.uk find-a-solicitor ?FirmName=...


Harrisons Thames Valley Solicitors LLP: That includes any alternate business names (we'll come back to that), contact details, areas of law covered, and most importantly - qualifications of staff within the firm. So if you see that name at the top of things it is the same company . class="infoquote "And i...


HCR Law Solicitors: class="infoquote "Clients value our honesty, commercially focused advice and hard work."< div> To check up on any statements a firm makes about happy clients, people usually turn to the public review boards . The Law Society lists Child and Parent Law, Eagle H...


Heritage Park Family Law: In fact, we would say the majority we know of still work 9am-5pm Mon-Fri. As you can see the majority are positive . It's very important to https: en.wikipedia.org wiki Phishing" keep aware< a> of where you are on the web.. Heritage Park are obviously specialising in Fam...


Horsley Holdings Ltd: Pay special attention if the firm you're looking into handles property matters because they are often targeting by fraudsters and https: www.ncsc.gov.uk collection phishing-scams" phishing scams< a>. . Horsley's website is HTTPS secure which means your personal details...


Kee Solicitors Family Law: 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 simply for trying to get more pages into search engines. But the 'high street solicitor office' handling a wide range of c...


Large & Gibson Solicitors: Clearly there is a great deal of potential experience within the firm, spanning the past six decades . We are dedicated to providing the highest quality legal advice and expertise for our clients, but in a way that's far friendlier, more accessible and clear-talking than yo...


Divorce Coaching in the UK: Knowing you have someone who is 100% on your side could make the world of difference.. Divorce coaching is a specialised support service designed to help individuals navigate the emotional, practical, and legal aspects of divorce. It's particularly beneficial for those strug...


Lyons Law: Other variants we tried such as lyonslaw.com also were not for this firm. It's common for companies in any industry to provide customer testimonials on their website. The age of the logo is not important. How old the brand name of a firm has zero bearing on whether you'll g...


Mark Croft Motor Offence: While statements such as these on some solicitor websites are meant to give the impression of extensive experience - it's pretty much meaningless. class="infoquote "I have been involved in the criminal justice system for over 28 years."< div> First is this quote...


Marsden Rawsthorn Solicitors Ltd: However, if you live in England and Wales this is something you can easily check up on. There is no way to see overall reviews and ratings on larger companies as far as we can see. That's because the independent boards such as Google, Yelp, Trustpilot and Facebook allow nega...


McCarthy and Co Solicitors: Never, ever discuss payments via email and call the person you normally deal with to ask if any change is valid. But searches for variations of the firm's name on it's own will provide no local business information. It took us a few attempts on the Irish Law Society website...


MPGQS: But the RICS do not supply the level of consumer help we see on sites such as The Law Society of England & Wales. For many people across the UK, the idea of obtaining legal services still brings to mind a downtown high street office with people with big desks and expensive s...


SG Murphy & Co Ltd: 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's wealth of user-side data helping thousands to properly research firms in those countries b...


Oakwood Property Solicitors: If you have access to the possible services of 100,000 solicitors nationwide rather than just the few local law firms around you - surely you are better off? Yes, there is more choice. that they are out of date, inexperienced, and inefficient) those descriptions are...


PCS Legal Conveyancing: While the internet has provided consumers with a far wider reach of service providers. However most people prefer the independent forums such as Facebook, Trustpilot, and Google. Especially when it comes to property matters where one side is usually unhappy. Just remember ...

The firm provides a considerable number of help articles on their website across a range of cases and subjects. For example, Sternberg Reed are listed in the Legal 500 which you can rea...

Walker Foster Ltd: If all firms claim to be modern, friendly, and experienced (which they will because none will claim to be unfriendly, out of date, or inexperienced) then it's not useful information for decision making. class="infoquote "Our vision is to always be the first choice fo...


Waterstone PS: 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. This can be incredibly useful because there are a lot of sneaky ways some firms can use to make it sound as if they have...


Wolf Law Ltd: It sounds great, but if you think about it there won't be a single firm that claims to be 'nonsense spouting', 'dishonest', or 'uncaring'. So the merits of the firm as a whole should be taken into consideration. For example the https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office ...


WYM Legal Solicitors: The official site we link to above is www.wymlegal.com and www.wymlegal.co.uk does not currently redirect there. This makes it tricky for people to use star ratings to judge between property firms. If you've trawled through even just a handful of law firm websites today look...
