2 Harcourt Chambers: Coming back to the differences in setup mentioned before, a law chambers is not like a law firm of solicitors. But make sure to check through each chamber's website and have a good chat with someone on the phone to get some clarity about the Public Access Scheme in re...


A City Law Firm: This doesn't always happen when a firm has non-unique words in the brand name. So make sure to keep an eye out. So if you're having trouble finding them bear that in mind. They have more information about their setup and what each award means https: www.legal500.com unite...


Backhouse Solicitors Ltd: As mentioned above Duffield Stunt Solicitors has merged into Backhouse Solicitors Ltd with the official site being the hyphenated and https protected www.backhouse-solicitors.co.uk However both www.backhousesolicitors.co.uk and the .com will redirect you there. (That's might...


Beers Solicitors LLP: Unlike hairdressers or restaurants, law firms can end up with negative reviews from the side they beat in a case. Alongside their co-workers, the firm as a whole has a decent mix of seasoned professionals with some fresher legs and ideas. class="infoquote "You have a...


Bellax Solicitors: class="infoquote "we offer, no win, no fee for all types of Accident & Injury Claims and Medical Negligence claims"< div> Whilst Bell Lax Solicitors makes a claim to have pioneered some of the great strides made in no win, no fee-ing - certainly this is now the...

Brown & Co Solicitors: However it's amazing just how similar law firm websites look these days with similar language and similar images of people smiling - all shaking hands. The full official website is www.brownandcosolicitors.co.uk with www.brownandcosolicitors.com redirecting you there. ...


Buchanan & Co Solicitors Ltd: For example, if a firm says they have '20 years experience within the firm' or '20 years combined experience' that could mean they have 5 solicitors each with only 4 years experience. class="infoquote "We're a family run practice with more than 25 years of experie...


Burton & Co Quality Solicitors: Burton and Co LLP https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 466124 burton-co-llp" are registered with< a> The Law Society of England & Wales which is great because it is by far the best. The QS site is https secure for submitting your personal details via the contact for...


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". With that all in the past, why do law firms still use separate bra...


Cook's Solicitors: There are other law firms with 'cook' in them such as Cooks Lawyers and Mark Cook solicitors with similarly matching domain names. Put simply, if a firm is doing really badly or has a bad reputation in a local area - then the branding will be changed. Such as the ...


Cullimore Dutton Solicitors Ltd: We have noticed that Google has been switching to more local targeting so if you can't get reviews to show up for a firm try entering the town name as well (e.g. So they are involved in some of the biggest life changes people can experience. That's a good checklist of in...

The Law Partnership Ltd: The comments for TLP are very positive . Always read the comments. That means you can look up how many years someone has been a solicitor for any of those firms and what areas of law they specialise in. But let's take two extremes to highlight this example. It's a dif...


David Stinson & Co Solicitors: It seems to be a unique name in the industry. They provide all trading names of a firm, alternate office locations, other contact details, languages spoken, and the qualification dates of any solicitors within the firm. As mentioned before, having different trading names w...


Disrepair Claims UK: There is a simply huge number of keyword related websites targeting this area of litigation such as www.housingdisrepairhelpline.co.uk, www.housing-disrepair-claims.co.uk, and www.housingdisrepairlawyers.co.uk (just to pick out the first three in a Google search). So whilst ...


Drummond and Miller Solicitors: That may sound like something you would never fall for. class="infoquote "We get to know our clients and understand the issues that are important to them so we can provide them with detailed, common sense legal advice and practical assistance."< div> But even w...


EDC Lord Solicitors: Far too many people https: www.theguardian.com money 2019 aug 24 the-45000-deposit-for-our-first-home-was-stolen-and-the-banks-did-nothing" new="target have handed their entire house deposit< a> to fraudsters after believing an official-looking email telling them the payme...

Frazer Coogans Solicitors: class="infoquote "The office has full disabled access."< div> Again, this may sound like a regular statement but you'd be surprised how many firms in older buildings are not able to say this. A quick note on navigation. The LawScot site only provides search ...


Goldsmith Bowers Solicitors Ltd: A quick note on navigation with the firm's official website being www.goldsmithbowers.com however www.goldsmithbowers.co.uk does not currently redirect there. Not every firm is upfront about their areas of law or years of experience like Goldsmith Bowers Solicit...

Guardian Law Ltd: To us that indicates the best qualities of a specialist firm in that they genuinely seem to care about businesses by trying to get as much useful advice out there. But you simply must make sure to read the comments left by people rather than simply glancing at star r...


Hill House Chambers Barristers: Hence the reason for us breaking with tradition over testimonials. Typically we refer, like most consumers, to the third party boards such as Google, Yelp, Yell, Trustpilot, etc. If you weren't aware - we are now quite far from the 'old days' of a high street solicitor's o...


JPS Walker Solicitors: These days with the internet people can instead search for the best representation for their particular issue from firms all over the country. That means each will only be covered very briefly, but hopefully it will provide a greater selection of things that might help w...


Lefevres Scotland Ltd: And above all, the comfort of knowing your best interests are protected."< div> These statements from the Lefevres website are claims made by practically every law firm. A quick note on navigation too. The number of years' experience your actual solicitor has and w...


LS Legal Solicitors: LS Legal is an interesting case study and a helpful way to explain how law firms can be set up these days. So what are the independent forums saying? class="infoquote "highly professional and super helpful" "professional and approachable, explaining anything ...


Mac Jones Solicitors: Please remember to forgive law-related websites that use a lot of the same language or that make claims that practically every other law firm is making as well. Normally you have to dig through several 'Excellent! Would recommend!' quotes to get to something useful. Un...


MJV Law Solicitors: So how can you check this? class="infoquote "In many cases we can offer fixed fees, out of hours appointments and home or business visits. It wasn't until we researched MJV Solicitors that we realised there was a once-hugely-popular phrase now seemingly missing from t...


Fentimans My Law Matters: According to the law society website, the solicitors behind My Law Matters have a range of entry dates into the legal professional. My Law Matters do display customer reviews on their website: class="infoquote "They are fast and understanding and they do explain everyt...


Nicholson Jones Sutton Solicitors Ltd: Our poll a few years back was very clear about that . If you visit the NJS Law website it may look exactly like a dozen other law firm sites you've visited today. Unfortunately there are a limited number of colours, images, and ways to express professionals doing a pr...


One Law Solicitors & Barristers: All of the common variants you'd expect such as www.onelawsolicitors.com .co.uk also seem to be owned by different companies though not currently in use. When a company posts positive feedback they've received on their own website pages, it's usually listed as 'testimonial...


LRose Law Ltd: None of the variants we tried such as www.rflaw.co.uk or www.lroselaw.com seemed to be owned by the firm. class="infoquote "Rose Fendlen Law is Authorised and Regulated by the SRA (Solicitors Regulation Authority)"< div> This statement placed right at the botto...


RM Solicitors: On this occasion there are two main solicitors: Michael MacDonald who qualified as a solicitor in 1993, and Thomas Reynolds who joined the legal profession in 1999. This is quite common for more difficult matters such as medical negligence. But keep in mind that a good lawye...


Simper Law: Our article today is about Simper Law which turns out to be much more of a unique offering than expected. class="infoquote "our practice has quickly gained a good reputation within the legal world"< div> In most industries these days people praise the 'new'. ...


Smith & Graham Solicitors: So the fact Smith and Graham solicitors have a wide range of seasoned professionals alongside fresh blood is something much more of note. Smith & Graham however seem to fit neither of these descriptions and look unscathed by the recent developments . The first is t...


Stowe Family Law Solicitors: So the name is still quite unique. It explains the firm's reach and capabilities with specifics which we always like to see. As you can see there is a wide range of experience within Stowe, with solicitor's start dates covering all of the past five decades such as Mar...


Summerfield Browne: 'summerfield browne birmingham') to get reviews only on that office rather than the firm as a whole. Most of the variants we tried brought up the correct site in the top search results spot but many brought up adverts for other firms. This is a very good example of why. Whe...


Swain and Co Solicitors: The article before that was about a firm that has merged four times causing big branding changes each time. We have over 200 firms in our database at the moment and only 22 of them will help with Legal Aid. The official site we link to is www.swainandco.com but www.swainan...


Thaxted Legal Immigration: So make sure to always read through ratings rather than just glancing at average stars. There are countless numbers of fraudsters https: www.telegraph.co.uk money consumer-affairs how-protect-property-fraud-landlord-bank-scam-2022-uk " attempting to coerce property client...


The Lady Barrister: As she works on her own her website is therefore much more focused in providing information about her. But what about experience? Normally we're able to point you to several resources to help you check the background of law firms such as The Law Society website in your are...


The Legal Practice Solicitors: That should mean the practice has a very good mix of seasoned, wise old heads but with eager, fresh ideas thrown in . Indeed at the time of writing this, The Legal Practice's website opens with: class="infoquote "Over 50 Years of Legal Experience. There is also a huge...


WH Law Ltd: But not all specialists are the same. Especially for certain case types such as Divorce, Criminal Law, Motoring Offences, Conveyancing, and Immigration - the latter of which is what the firm clearly handles. If there is only one or two solicitors in the practice and t...


Wildcat Law Solicitors: The combination of the two avenues gives a much wider scope to potentially help clients faster and at a lower cost. The most important part in our opinion though is the qualification dates of solicitors within the firm. For the entirety of the 20th century people had to ta...


Wilford Smith: For example: one of the largest Conveyancing firms in the UK (My Home Move) have a current rating of 3.1 stars out of 500+ reviews on Google. Clearly there is not a 200-year-old solicitor sitting behind the desk. We think it's quite a pointless claim which Wilford Smith and ...


Woodstock Legal Services Ltd: Our poll a few years back resulted in only 8% of you saying you even read them. Some law firms list hobbies, pets names, and even favourite colours which we think is not only pointless, but a little off putting on a serious legal services site. So when we came across ...


Young & Co Solicitors: Therefore most of them refuse to work with Legal Aid. The whole firm and all staff can focus on a single area of law such as Motoring Offences - that's obvious specialism. That's because practically every house purchase sale in England and Wales takes longer and is more comp...
