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: So how can you tell the actual experience levels within a firm if founding dates are meaningless? That's actually quite easy if you live in England and Wales. class="infoquote "you will never be left feeling uninformed and we respond promptly to each stage of ...


Amy King Solicitor: 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 verify whether this applies to the actual solicitor which will be hand...


Baker Hardman Ltd: class="infoquote "we bring together a wealth of industry-specific knowledge and expertise"< div> There will be no law firm on the internet claiming they have zero experience. Just always try to keep aware of which site you are on and who you are emailing back a...


Brian Barr Ltd: But expertise is not the whole story. The firm's site is HTTPS secure for entering your details on the contact form but always be aware of what site you're on and never discuss payments via email these days. This firm, like many others, provides customer testimonials on th...


Brodies Solicitors LLP: So those words are pretty much meaningless. Hopefully it's apparent that 1to1Legal is not just another directory of law firms. Don't fall for this stuff. That's why most people turn to the independent comment boards such as Google , Trustpilot or Facebook rather than simply...


Cook Law in Wirral: class="infoquote "kept us well informed the whole time" "answered all of our questions promptly and with full clarity" "extremely supportive and incredibly efficient" "we received regular communications and advice"< div> Those are a few snippets from thir...


Crockett Solicitors: So no matter how old the firm is, it's the experience of the solicitor that matters most . For example the founding solicitor at https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation people 468290 crocketts-limited?Solicitors=True" at Crocketts< a>, Helen Crockett, qualified ...


CWJ Solicitors & Notaries: But you can end up with a 40-year veteran lawyer from a 1-year old law firm or a 1-year novice solicitor from a 200-year old brand name. If you look up a dozen or so law firms that handle property matters, you'll find most of them have negative comments. The Law Soc...


Defank Solicitors Croydon: For today's example we're using the website of the law firm Defank: class="infoquote "At Defank Solicitors, we are committed to providing expert legal services tailored to meet your specific needs."< div> A couple of things to watch out for when you're going thr...


Eatons Solicitors Ltd: The official site is currently www.eatons-solicitors.co.uk with www.eatons-solicitors.com redirecting you there.

England & Derbyshire Solicitors: "england" and "derbyshire". Not only that, there's a lot of different types of legal professional to choose from. The .com does not redirect you there though and as you can see, the "&" part of the name is not in the web address. With all this choice available and the entire...

Nero Legal Solicitors: If you search through a few other conveyancing firms in the UK, you'll see alot of them don't break 3 stars. Some firms offer Blog sections that often contain legal news (which typically is of no use to actual clients). It seems that every firm claims to be "leading" in on...


Eve Lake Conveyancing: Also, while you may have gone through a dozen websites today of 'Conveyancing' firms - not all are the same . These are usually a lower cost option compared to a conveyancing solicitor. There are a lot of terms to contend with when searching for help with legal matters. U...


Farah Family Law: But when it comes to family law - it can be rare . As fraudsters https: www.theguardian.com money 2020 feb 29 bank-scam-solicitors-email-hacked" have been faking emails< a> from law firms for decades now. The .com does not currently redirect there. The obvious compariso...


Frei Solicitors Ltd: As you may have noticed if you've flicked through the law firm listings pages of this site, we are not a directory listing every legal practice under the sun across the UK. Just always watch out and be careful online as https: www.nidirect.gov.uk articles online-scams" th...


Girlings Personal Injury Claims Ltd: can provide you with advice and a free initial consultation"< div> Dealing with the first part of that sentence first. The Government has continued to strip Legal Aid and reduced the amount of people it can help to almost sub-decimal point percentages. But as phr...


Garden Stirling Burnet: A firm where all the staff deal with a specific area of law. There is an ever further issue to consider. The firm's official website is www.gsbsolicitors.co.uk however the branding is always the full name of the firm. So "garden stirling burnet haddington" will show...


Harrisons Thames Valley Solicitors LLP: www.harrisonssolicitors.co.uk is not currently owned by the firm and there will be plenty of variations like it also un-owned.

Horsley Holdings Ltd: However, while that is still good advice in our opinion - we know it can be difficult to find information and background on newer firms. For newer firms this might be more difficult. Horsley's website is HTTPS secure which means your personal details should be safe ...


Kee Solicitors Family Law: The site is also https secure for submitting your details via that callback form. We can't even link to an actual page detailing just the solicitor's names. It was all relevant stuff such as a pop up box to click to see those Trustpilot reviews, a chat dialogue pop up, a s...


Large & Gibson Solicitors: That's also how they are displayed on the website of The Law Society of England and Wales which is a resource we are constantly recommending . People simply aren't as quick to discuss their divorce, criminal proceeding, or child custody battle in a review forum. However our...


Divorce Coaching in the UK: Divorces can tear apart entire family setups. Their role is to empower clients with tools to make informed decisions, manage stress, and rebuild confidence. It is very common, though, for law firms to recommend and https: en.wikipedia.org wiki Collaborative_law" work wi...


Lyons Law: That's how a firm can 'specialise' in a long list of cases. 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). class="infoquote "Lyons is an establis...


Mark Croft Motor Offence: For some reason, the buyer doesn't bother checking up on this before transferring the entire house deposit to the fraudster's bank account.

Marsden Rawsthorn Solicitors Ltd: Thousands of people in the UK https: www.whatmortgage.co.uk home-buying news-home-buying mortgage-scams-how-to-spot-and-avoid-homebuying-fraud " have handed their entire house deposit< a> over to fraudsters.

McCarthy and Co Solicitors: So always make sure you're on the correct site.

Walker Foster Ltd: You need to search for reviews on each individual office - e.g. But you've probably seen alot of good words on other firm's websites too such as 'modern', 'friendly', or 'experienced'. Of course, as a larger firm they have a larger amount of resources and time to sort these ...


Waterstone PS: 'waterstone partnership bradford'. So how old the firm's logo really doesn't help you know how experienced the actual staff are. We've known several firms (us included) that needed to take a website offline for days or even weeks because of issues with hackers or just Google...
