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. Other common sales phrases many use include 'we are a modern firm', 'friendly staff', and 'very experienced'. We have often championed the website of The Law Society of those two countries for providing a w...


Amy King Solicitor: It's a great resource to bear in mind. Watch out for firms that use marketing jargon. But always make sure you are on the correct website and do not discuss bank details or payments via email - no matter how official the email might look. It is HTTPS secure for submitting...


Baker Hardman Ltd: Compare that with the abundance of legal professionals waiting to help you online, and the change is astounding. There were several negative comments left but they were difficult to get a grip on. As most fraud related to legal services happens via email. class="inf...


Brian Barr Ltd: However, if a firm is also dealing with family law, wills, criminal defence, and house sales at the same time - can they really be 'specialist' at anything? Certainly there are plenty of large firms that have specialist legal professionals within them. The firm's branding is...


Brodies Solicitors LLP: We can't even link you to a page to view the details they hold. Don't fall for this stuff. So those words are pretty much meaningless. It's only there you get to hear both sides. Rather than simply showing you all reviews for a company, they may show zero reviews when you fi...


Cook Law in Wirral: With todays video chat and secure online document services, the majority of cases don't require you to have to visit a lawyer's office at all. So when you see a solicitor's practice has hardly any reviews that doesn't always mean something negative. So if a law firm has seve...


Crockett Solicitors: A theme of a caring attitude was most prevalent. But beyond simply specialising, the other thing most people want in their legal representative is experience. So the fact this firm declares they will help people through Legal Aid within the first sentence of their website...


Defank Solicitors Croydon: 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. It's much harder to find firms that list general costs for other matters because of how varied they can be. A note for security. For today'...


Dispute Resolver Consultancy: The .co.uk versions for each are also not in use. We've seen this with law firms that use words such as 'law' or 'legal' in their name. For example, you might use ADR if you have a dispute with: a neighbour, family or an ex-partner, a company, trader or seller – this is ca...

CWJ Solicitors & Notaries: class="infoquote "We are committed to delivering expert legal advice and excellent client service."< div> The main place people turn to in order to confirm a firm's claims of 'excellent client service' is usually the public review forums. class="infoquot...


Drummond and Miller Solicitors: A quick but important note on navigation though. class="infoquote "With an expert team comprising property sales, letting and conveyancing all under one roof, our experts can help you on every step of your property journey."< div> That means you can che...


Eatons Solicitors Ltd: For example a firm might say it has '20 years of experience within the firm'. class="infoquote "we have expanded beyond our roots and branched out to serve the whole of West Yorkshire, setting up in Leeds, Bradford, Yeadon and Bingley"< div> Eatons law firm has ...


EMD Law Solicitors: So what are they saying about this firm on the web? class="infoquote "at the end of the phone most of the time when you need help" "may not be the cheapest solicitors around but you get what you pay for" "explained everything so that we had a good understanding of...


England & Derbyshire Solicitors: Many have handed their https: www.thisismoney.co.uk money beatthescammers article-13525673 Buying-home-Major-bank-warns-rise-scam-sees-fraudsters-steal-deposits.html" entire house deposit to fraudsters< a>. If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation people ...


Eve Lake Conveyancing: But most variants we tried such as the .com version or evelakeconveyancing.co.uk all returned domains owned by other companies or not at all. Both deal with preparing contracts, land registry searches, local authority access checks, money transfers, etc. For today's a...


Farah Family Law: But on this occasion the full quote "master of none, though oftentimes better than master of one" - usually does not apply. However, your ex burning in lava is not achievable by even the most skilled family lawyer. Family Law isn't just divorce and child custody. Be alert an...


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. But the thing about https: www.investopedia.com terms h hnwi.asp" ...


Girlings Personal Injury Claims Ltd: 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 and as one of Kent’s leading law firms, we are here to make it easy for ...


Garden Stirling Burnet: The website is HTTPS secure for submitting your information on their contact form. We can also assist with wills, power of attorney, executries, and trusts"< div> Typically if someone is searching for a "specialist" solicitor, this is the kind of firm they're after. ...


Harrisons Thames Valley Solicitors LLP: It provides a huge wealth of data to users on the firms and individuals registered with the organisation. Also note that the full name of the firm is Harrisons Thames Valley Solicitors LLP. If you look up the top conveyancing firms for the country then check their sta...


HCR Law Solicitors: Because on the site it states their Worcester, Birmingham, Hereford and Ross-on-Wye local offices specialise in this area of personal injury law. We're not satisfied unless we're making a real difference to peoples' lives"< div> That's a snippet from the front page of ...


Heritage Park Family Law: Heritage Park is listed on the other source we recommend, the website of the https: www.barstandardsboard.org.uk barristers-register 9A9F746B5CF632693D466CB8446CBB2C.html" Bar Standards Council< a> for reasons we'll come to in a moment. The most common port of call is The...


Horsley Holdings Ltd: Neither do any of the variants we tried such as www.horsleysolicitors.co.uk If you are going to look around for further information about the firm before making a decision, you'll notice that they are known as Horsley Holdings Ltd on both the Law Society and SRA pages...


Kee Solicitors Family Law: Sadly, that resource is the Law Society of England & Wales which doesn't cover this Scottish firm. So if you have flicked through a dozen firms saying they are experts in family matters, how can you tell which is best - or at least best for you? For example, this quote abo...


Large & Gibson Solicitors: Many firms provide client testimonials on their website and Large & Gibson do this as well. 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 you might ex...


Lyons Law: In the middle of this are firms with multiple solicitors, each specialising in one or two areas of law. This firm's branding is 'Lyons Solicitors' but the official web address is www.lyonslaw.co.uk not www.lyonssolicitors.co.uk (which shows no site at the time of writing). ...


Mark Croft Motor Offence: There is not going to be some 200+ year old solicitor within the firm monitoring everything. We've been working with law firms for over twenty years now and out of over 200 firms currently on our network, only 15 work with Legal Aid. If you look up the Law Society of England...


Marsden Rawsthorn Solicitors Ltd: There is no way to see overall reviews and ratings on larger companies as far as we can see. But since there won't be any solicitors claiming to be backward-thinking or that they offer the wrong type of fees - it may not help convince you to use them instead of someone els...


McCarthy and Co Solicitors: There are various levels starting at Q1000 with Q9000 https: lqsi.ie the-q9000 " being the top tier< a> of quality assurance. class="infoquote "An Award Winning Team of Solicitors With A Personal Touch"< div> So what can you do to discern which legal service...


SG Murphy & Co Ltd: As we've pointed out in other articles, firms that are involved in buying and selling properties tend to have lower star ratings simply because hardly anyone thinks their sale is going fast enough and each side is always blaming the other. If they all claim to be that way, t...


Nero Legal Solicitors: You'll see why that's important to note in a moment. So what other things can you look for when trying to pick out the best legal professional for you? Often what a firm focuses on can reveal differences between them. For example, the Nero website contains various ...

MPGQS: It would be great to see this from other regulatory bodies. class="infoquote "MPG have developed an international capability to handle all the financial, commercial, contractual and engineering aspects of any project, from inception to completion and beyond."< div> ...


Oakwood Property Solicitors: The firm's name is actually quite unique so various searches such as "oakwood law" brought up the same firm. It doesn't help that so many law firms repeat the same sales pitches, use the same language and even seem to use the same stock photos. Those were some snippets from ...


PCS Legal Conveyancing: But at the time of writing the firm had an average star rating of 3.9 which might be confusing. A whole picture is needed. This is because unlike most legal services, much of the buying selling process for property is not in the control of the firm. Barristers with the Bar S...


Landlord Eviction Solicitor in Southport, Lancs: 'sarah andrews law southport' . This includes contact details, office addresses, languages spoken, areas of law covered and the number of years each solicitor at a firm has been a qualified solicitor. For legal professionals such as solicitors, paralegals, or barristers cha...


Solidaire Law Ltd: class="infoquote "We aim to provide a fast and efficient service, with Settlement Agreements often completed within 24-48 hours."< div> Some more notes on navigation. One positive benefit of the internet has been the rise in specialist law firms . If you've com...


Sternberg Reed Solicitors: So what independent facts can you rely on to work out the best firm for you? class="infoquote "For the past 40 years, we have offered a wide range of legal services to both individuals and businesses."< div> Again, most firms will state a number of years on th...


Thomas & Thomas Solicitors: For example 'thomas and thomas solicitors port talbot' will bring up different reviews to another office name while entering no office location at all can end up with you being shown zero reviews. Beyond that, you have firms claiming to be 'local' which sounds great...


TWB Probate Solicitors Ltd: class="infoquote "... That's not to say there aren't alot of well experienced people such as paralegals out there who can help. As you can see from https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 2235 twbprobatesolicitors-limited" the page on this firm< a> - solicitor ...


UVS Law Ltd: So how do you find the best immigration service for your particular needs? class="infoquote "We are committed to providing exceptional legal services to individuals and businesses seeking immigration solutions."< div> That's a quote from the UVS Law website. E...


Walker Foster Ltd: That's a big positive in our opinion. When looking these up though, Google has made some changes. We're bombarded with marketing at every turn. These are just some ideas on what to notice about a firm rather than relying on the sales-pitch. If you https: solicitors.lawsoc...


Waterstone PS: 'waterstone partnership bradford'. Also for finding the correct reviews you sometimes have to enter a firm's location in Google - e.g. For example www.waterstoneps.co.uk currently does not redirect you to the correct site. This is all the more important if you are looking fo...


Wolf Law Ltd: We have no idea why someone wouldn't call the law firm to check, but that's what happens. It's a good place to get independent background about a legal service provider. So the information doesn't actually help you separate this firm from the thousands of others you could ...


WYM Legal Solicitors: It's not uncommon to see even some of the country's top conveyancing companies with 2 star or 3 star average ratings. class="infoquote "We provide the best customer service in the industry, combined with modern-day processes and technology to ensure you are kept updat...


Law Solicitors: class="infoquote "We focus on ... The official site for this firm has a less usual ending to being www.your.law and no other websites currently redirect you there. Common variants such as www.law.co.uk or www.alllaw.com are being used by other firms. If you see a webs...
