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:




ABS Lawyers Ltd: Whilst this can fall into the same trap of the branding not always reflecting the experience of the actual lawyer assigned to your case - it is far more geniune a way to describe the firm's experience. That means we try to provide a range of various solutions AND firms t...


Antony Hodari Legal Services: You might also see claims such as 'combined experience of X years' which simply means all the staff's experience years added together. Antony Hodari's claims in the snippet above were taken from their front page and are much more believable and can be checked on too. They e...


Allan Argue and Co Solicitors: Despite the long list of case types we state this firm covers, they are actually specialists. Even zero reviews is not a bad sign. Be clear though: no win, no fee only means that if you lose there are no fees. This can make it harder and you need to read the actual co...


Beers Solicitors LLP: class="infoquote "Established in 1885, and now with offices in Kingsbridge and Plymouth, we have been providing generations of clients with high quality legal advice."< div> We're not a fan of these ancient establishment dates provided by firms as a way to intimat...

Disrepair Claims UK: Or better still, post underneath their ad post asking for their regulatory status and number to try and warn others not to deal with them should they be unable to provide one. To get the mould destroyed. There are plenty of things we might change about the legal industry, ...


Bellax Solicitors: For today's example we'll be using the Bell Lax Solicitor's website. Sometimes the law office provides testimonials on their website. Typically the 'Blog' or 'News' section of a law firm's website is just another selection of articles saying how great the firm is or a single...


Bilkus and Boyle: By that we mean they handle conveyancing which is an area of law packed with unhappy clients. However the whole ancient-history-boasting across the legal industry is really just a marketing ploy to make a firm seem as though it has a huge amount of experience which it may no...


BLZ Solicitors Ltd: That's not the case though and there are hundreds of firms out there that still charge full rates just to meet with them. You would think that these days with phone, email, and video chat - especially since the COVID pandemic - that any law firm could spare even just 15 minu...


Branch Austin Solicitors: No, really. class="infoquote "Branch Austin is a leading and highly commended law firm based in London's West End, which delivers exceptional legal advice to its clients."< div> Another common claim made by law firms is that they have a good reputation in the i...


Burton & Co Quality Solicitors: But rather than simply place an extra logo on each law firm's website - they all put the words quality solicitors in front of their name. That's quite something unique to see. With all this going for them, it was therefore strange to see the firm having an absolutel...


Catteralls in Wakefield: That's surely a very good sign. The official site we link to above is www.catteralls.co.uk but note that www.catteralls.com does not redirect you there. The brand seems to be quite unique and therefore should be easy to find each time you want to come back to it. These are...


Cheshire Estates and Legal Ltd: So, claim absolutely verified. But it can get confusing for those stepping into the arena for the first time. We know firms that don't have a website or won't accept email communications, and the amount of printing and letter posting is simply absurd in this day and age. ...


Cook's Solicitors: For example those firms stating 'founded in 1881' or even older dates. You can get a 1-year newbie lawyer from a three hundred year old firm or a 40-year guru lawyer from a one year old firm. class="infoquote "Dianne Sumner has over twenty-five years' experience of he...


Deo Volente Legal: The Law Society of England & Wales is a simply excellent resources for background research . There are titles such as 'How Brexit is going to Affect the Immigration Policies for the UK (2021)', 'Cryptocurrency and Wills', and 'How to Video-Witness a Will'. For example...


Dylan Nair Ltd Solicitors: 100% compensation means there will be no fees if your case wins OR loses. As you can see from the snippets above, they're largely quite positive . The problem is mostly with property matters and conveyancing as https: www.clc-uk.org watch-out-for-conveyancing-fraud ...


Fair Result Divorce: With the generic words in the brand name and the hyphenation, there are obviously dozens of other possibilities not to mention common typos with double lettered middles such as using 'fairesult'. This includes direct access barristers, non-legal solutions, and mediation serv...


Frazer Coogans Solicitors: There are many advantages to using alternatives such as Direct Access barristers which can save considerable time and money depending on the case you need representing in court. We've said it before but it's worth saying again - in our opinion 'established in ...' dates ab...


Fultons Estate Agents: There are news articles about Fultons https: www.scottishlegal.com article gildeas-completes-acquisition-of-glasgow-firm-fulton-s" being bought over< a> by a firm called Gildeas not too long ago. So what about the staff at Fulton's Estate Agents themselves? Well according...


Hawkridge & Co Solicitors: Hawkridge & Company are another firm which may appear like a regular high street firm, but they actually tick a lot of boxes for us that you typically don't get from many other legal practices. As already pointed out in the last paragraph, the firm seems to be referred to ...


Hooper Hyde Solicitors: They are not related companies. At the time of writing we couldn't find any reviews on the regular third party sites. This, and the odd search results, shouldn't be a huge worry though as most scammers tend to target property clients as apparently it's very easy https: www...


Jacobs Law Solicitors: Some go too far such as listing favourite colours. However for all three - they're quite meaningless. But that's simply not true. So for Jacobs to be unafraid in posting such a "new" start date in the face of such an "old" industry - well that really stands out to us a...


JPS Walker Solicitors: We did find some reviews for JPS Walker: class="infoquote "really helpful through-out our claim" "Great solicitors, professional, friendly" "successfully managed to secure us damage cheques"< div> and the majority of them were definitely positive . That...


Khan Law Glasgow: No win no fee only guarantees there are no costs if the case loses . We can which again only has basic information. So what else is there? ...


KRS Wills & Probate: There have also been many changes to the types of solutions people can have beyond 'solicitors'. Some have forced themselves to stay open an extra half hour one day a week or to offer morning appointments every second Saturday - but on the whole, offers like this by K...


Lefevres Scotland Ltd: class="infoquote "We have a wealth of experience in handling claims not only in Scotland and the UK, but abroad too."< div> Lefevres website is https secure for filling in your personal details on the contact forms. That way when you search our database for he...

David Stinson & Co Solicitors: class="infoquote "We work on road accident claims and workplace accident claims among others on a no win no fee basis."< div> All law offices that handle injury compensation claims should provide free initial consultations. Even if someone calls you claiming to b...


Mckie Legal Solicitors Ltd: This firm is registered with https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation people 624946 connectmetoalawyer-ltd" The Law Society of England & Wales< a> which has excellent user-side data for you to check out including all alternate trading names and even specialties an...


Michael Leighton Jones Solicitors: MLJ Solicitors are registered with The Law Society of England & Wales which is great because they are the best out of all such organisation websites we've seen . A 200 year old firm could still stick you with a 1-year qualified lawyer. It's a good idea to read comments...


Milners Law LLP: not trying to jack-of-all-trades things. We always recommend reading actual comments rather than flicking through ratings anyway when it comes to law firm reviews. The best way we recommend to research any legal service provider is through their local law society webs...


Fentimans My Law Matters: The client then handed tens of thousands of pounds over to the fraudster without bothering to check with the law firm whether the change was correct. A mix of genders, ages, and years of experience amongst staff can only be a good thing for a law firm. But as long as the se...


One Law Solicitors & Barristers: It's not common knowledge, but not all solicitors are qualified to go into court and argue cases. Prior to this, if you needed a barrister to represent you in an actual court you would need to hire a solicitor who would then hire one on your behalf. However if you consider...


Pacific Law: You are just as likely to get a one year qualified solicitor from an ancient brand as you are to get a forty year experienced lawyer that joined a new legal practice starting up in their area. ​ class="infoquote "Here at Pacific Law, we have embraced the modern wo...


Penerley Solicitors: There were all positive , but none of the reviews had left any useful comments. Even helping you register as a limited company is not the sole discretion of lawyers. 'Less-stuffy' is a phrase we're seeing pop up more and more in newer firm's sales pitches about their servic...


Suhail Ahmad at Richmond Legal: Sadly the tradition of 9am-5pm Mon-Fri working hours for solicitors still holds true today for many firms in the UK. Sometimes just with a couple of official looking emails. The firm's website is https secure for entering your personal details in their contact forms...


RM Solicitors: They are far less likely to rush and publicly talk about their messy divorce, bankruptcy, or life-long brain injury. It boggles the mind. This is quite common for more difficult matters such as medical negligence. But keep in mind that a good lawyer that gets you £5000 comp...


Simper Law: It's very common in law firm review sections to see the losing side of a case leave negative ratings on the firm that beat them. The case range seems quite large for a small firm though, stating they handle: class="infoquote "Building Disputes, Business Support, Contes...


Springle Solicitors: However that should really be the lowest possible standard or just the first rung on the Estate Planning ladder. Life is complicated and so too is death. You never know what scammers will think of next though so keep aware and never discuss payments via email. Two...


Stenfield Solicitors Ltd: We have niche practices, specialist consultants, barristers, and even non-law-firm related solutions to some problems such as debt or will writing. class="infoquote "very impressed with the efficient handling of our case" "We were kept informed throughout" "a...


Swain and Co Solicitors: Unlike restaurants, hairdressers, or local pubs - legal professional get negative reviews for the strangest things . QualitySolicitors). So are Swain & Co Solicitors part of a law group seeking strength from both? class="infoquote "A quality personalised service from ...


Taylor Price Legal Ltd: that handles nothing by those case types in the hope this gives them the best chance (i.e. Taylor Price is registered with The Law Society of England & Wales which has the best user-side offering we know of amongst such organisations. A really great resource to help with th...


The Legal Practice Solicitors: For The Legal Practice they show a range of experience levels from Navjiven Mandair who qualified as a solicitor in 1997, right up to Dharmini Somani who just qualified back in 2018. In our opinion the only 'years' number that matters is the number of years' experience ...


Trojan Solicitors: Concerns about related domain names and online searches are really only urgent when it comes to property matters for the moment. The honest truth, however, is that you could end up with a 1-year-qualified solicitor from a 200-year-old firm. That might be the reason onl...


Trust Inheritance Limited: Certainly when we tried various search phrases several related companies showed up in the results including Inheritance Legal Services Ltd, Guardian Inheritance Ltd, The Inheritance Experts, and dozens of law firms using those words in the title of their Wills Probate sectio...


Ullah Law Associates: It states Julian Groombridge qualified as a solicitor in 1998, Mohammed Ullah in 2004, Ines Azreyek-Diab in 2013, and others. We've seen a sad trend for solicitors to start listing their favourite foods and pet's names in their profiles. There is a difference (and we'll tell...


Young & Co Solicitors: The whole firm and all staff can focus on a single area of law such as Motoring Offences - that's obvious specialism. We've even seen negative reviews by the clients on the opposite side of a sale purchase who have been told that it's the other person's solicitor that's caus...
