A City Law Firm: The Legal 500 is one name you might have spotted on a lot of legal professional websites. Some people have https: todaysconveyancer.co.uk conveyancing-fraud-red-flags " lost tens of thousands of pounds< a> by falling for a single official-looking email that said th...


Backhouse Solicitors Ltd: (That's mighty praise from our Scottish firm!) It means that when you see statements like this (above) on a lawyer's website you can actually verify their claims about expertise and experience. i.e. But it does highlight some issues when searching for a legal practice to hel...


Beers Solicitors LLP: Very positive with many of them quoting and praising the staff member involved by name. Unlike hairdressers or restaurants, law firms can end up with negative reviews from the side they beat in a case. Unfortunately that needed to be said because there isn't much nega...


Bellax Solicitors: Then the third is simply them adding up the years of experience of all staff members together. Luckily (again) you can use the Law Society website to look up whether the solicitor you've been chatting to does actually focus on your type of case. However Bell Lax's news sect...


Bridge McFarland Solicitors: The negative ones all seemed to relate to delays in a house purchase. However, in our last poll only 9% of you said you trusted any reviews on a company's own website. Don't be afraid to call the official number you already have if anything you receive seems even remotely su...


Brown & Co Solicitors: It's clear someone didn't do that because one of the law firm's reviews states 5 stars and: class="infoquote "really upped it's game on the food recently"< div> The geniune reviews on the firm's legal services seem very positive. All that said, we'll give the fi...


Buchanan & Co Solicitors Ltd: But according to our poll a few years back only 8% of you put any stock in company provided reviews. (Quite often not even from their own clients but from impatient buyers sellers on the opposite side!) class="infoquote "People often feel that Conveyancers get paid fo...


Burton & Co Quality Solicitors: We've always said that you can end up with a 1-year-experienced lawyer from a 200-year-old firm the same as you can get a forty-year-experience expert from a 1-year-old firm. Therefore they believe leaving the negative review anywhere is 'probably fine'. That's quite someth...


Calio Claims by Lindsays: That's why we always recommend people read the actual comments and never just flick through star ratings when deciding which firm to use. First is that every personal injury firm should charge you no fees at all if they lose your case. class="infoquote "All of the s...


Cook's Solicitors: They are certainly meaningless, but also often completely tenuous too. However the problems of usually come from emails or people typing the wrong web address directly in to their browser. in a p...


Cullimore Dutton Solicitors Ltd: Never discuss payments via email. Never be afraid to ring up the official number you have to check on anything. . The majority are positive which is actually surprising for a Conveyancing firm. But they do specialise in legal areas that relate to family life including Div...

The Law Partnership Ltd: 'Divide the number of case types by the number of solicitors' is in no way a perfect rule. So what are the independent boards https: www.google.com search?q=The+Law+Partnership+Ltd&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB926GB926&oq=The+Law+Partnership+Ltd&aqs=chrome..69i57j0i22i30l3j0i22i30...

This c...


Disrepair Claims UK: There are so many people living with severe issues in their homes out of either fear of their landlord or an inability to get their landlord to do anything. To fix those missing floor boards. To sum up, working with a CMC is an aberration for us but we wouldn't do it u...


Drummond and Miller Solicitors: There are usually easily spottable 'themes'. 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 od...

This isn't as big an issue for this firm as their case range focuses on business co...


Frazer Coogans Solicitors: Watch out for Google ads though as some keyword matching ads did pop up for us on some of the mis-spellings. It's one of those marketing jargon phrases that sounds great but essentially could be said by any firm. There are also many positive things to pick out between the ...


Goldsmith Bowers Solicitors Ltd: Therefore if you see a law firm has hardly any or even zero reviews online, that shouldn't necessarily be taken as a negative sign. So don't dismiss such offers lightly. Sometimes over just a single official-looking email telling them the bank account details to pay th...

Guardian Law Ltd: class="infoquote "our specialist employment lawyers can advise and represent you"< div> Today's article is on Guardian Law, an Employment Law specialist based in Nottingham working on the businesses side of the aisle. This firm's official website is www.guardi...

JPS Walker Solicitors: So if you see a law firm with barely a handful, or even zero, reviews - don't take that as some sort of negative sign. class="infoquote "request a free consultation from our experienced legal team"< div> Obviously we think highly of JPS Walker Solicitors ot...


Lefevres Scotland Ltd: (Yes, it's THAT bad.) So if you see a firm saying they handle cases under Legal Aid - that can really be an indication of some genuine underlying care about people and the law . It's still very much a specialty though. class="infoquote "At Lefevres we have access to a...


LS Legal Solicitors: In times gone by (we've been banned from writing 'in the old days') there would be a high street solicitor that would generally handle a wide range of case types. So what are the independent forums saying? class="infoquote "highly professional and super helpful" "p...


Mac Jones Solicitors: Even better: get an actual solicitor with both. (More on that later.) Staff profiles are something we always recommend law firms to provide and these are excellent examples of the information consumers really want. If you check the https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk org...


MJV Law Solicitors: We therefore turn to the same places most consumers do which is the public review board such as https: www.google.com search?q=mjv+law+Thornton-Cleveleys&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB926GB926&sxsrf=ALiCzsalxGo7bn__bt5tCtdwUowu1oS7AA%3A1663791418678&ei=OnErY_-GKaWShbIP6JWx0Ao&ved=0ah...

RM Solicitors: class="infoquote "Reynolds Macdonald Solicitors was established in 2007"< div> Considering there's still a huge number of law firms quoting ancient founding dates such as 'established in 1771', a firm that opened in 2007 may sound almost brand new in comparison. H...


Simper Law: But it goes without saying that you can end up with a 1-year-qualified, completely inexperienced solicitor from a 200-year-old law firm just the same as you could get a 40-year-guru lawyer from a 1-year-old firm. This is showcased by the number of law firms still boasting a...


Smith & Graham Solicitors: class="infoquote "always available when we had questions" "Fair priced and transparent in their dealings" "responsive and always kept me updated with the developments of the case"< div> The independent review boards were mainly positive comments like this...

Wildcat Law Solicitors: But a quick note on navigation. This lets you gauge the amount of actual experience a law firm might have at its disposal. If you've already been through a dozen law firm websites today you'll probably have noticed a lot use the same sort of 'sales language'. The combination...


Wilford Smith: Clearly there is not a 200-year-old solicitor sitting behind the desk. Which makes these statements almost useless for a consumer trying to tell the firms apart. For example: one of the largest Conveyancing firms in the UK (My Home Move) have a current rating of 3.1 stars ou...
