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: We've also seen a negative review of a criminal law firm because they refused to take on the person's divorce case. They also seem to have a genuine help article section with everything from basic 'We're Selling a property - how does it work?' pieces to more in depth 'wha...


Amy King Solicitor: There is no hard and fast rule. Many firms will display accreditations and awards: class="infoquote "appointed a member of the specialist panel of Personal Injury solicitors in 2001"< div> < br> Just keep an eye out for firms which claim to be 'award-winning' in ...


Baker Hardman Ltd: Their office is in Glasgow but if you enter a phrase such as "baker hardman solicitors in glasgow" Google currently returns results for a firm called Bradley Baker Solicitors. There are plenty of really good, experienced paralegals out there. So keep aware.. Some were co...


Brian Barr Ltd: One of the problems when trying to find a law firm to help with a case is the similarities between each firm's website. class="infoquote "97% compensation claims success rate achieved by Brian Barr Solicitors in 2021"< div> Obviously the first thing people usual...


Brodies Solicitors LLP: There is usually no background check or even effort to check they are a real law firm. However, this wealth of choice comes with its own difficulties of being able to tell each firm apart and decide which is best for you . While a firm stating they are 'friendly' or ...

Cook Law in Wirral: They also only show reviews for that particular location. Of course since the birth of the internet, anyone under the age of 30 will have no clue what that feels like. It wasn't too many decades ago that people's legal assistance choices included a handful of solicitor...


Crockett Solicitors: Even when Legal Aid might be applicable. However we would not suggest putting as much stock in founding dates. 'crocketts solicitors in leeds'. Such dates will merely be about the brand name. How can you check that? Many firms will make claims such as '40 years of experien...


CWJ Solicitors & Notaries: We see many legal practices touting 'established in' dates with the obviously intention of implying they are more experienced and well-established than others. So you may see any of these on reference, review or information sites such as the Law Society or SRA. Always be vig...


Defank Solicitors Croydon: Ancient founding dates are often touted to make people think the firm is well established and therefore that must mean they have plenty of experience. As of writing this, the firm shows a range of experience and expertise amongst their staff including Kolawole Idowun who...

EMD Law Solicitors: The past few articles have been about firms with a specialist goal or unique setup. class="infoquote "At EMD Law we have a strong commitment to client care and aim to offer a friendly, efficient and cost effective service to all our clients."< div> Typically the...

Farah Family Law: That's when having a specialist firm could make the difference between achieving the result you want versus not. One firm in Preston demanded a £5000 retainer before having a consultation. Farah Family Law certainly would certainly qualify as such a specialist...

Harrisons Thames Valley Solicitors LLP: Many firms provide testimonial pages on their website, but according to our poll a few years back most agreed with us that company provided testimonials are not always the most informative.

Heritage Park Family Law: For law firms there may be far less reviews than you expect. So what can you do to tell them apart? First big difference is to determine whether the firm actually has some real experience, not just implied. The most common port of call is The Law Society of England ...


Horsley Holdings Ltd: Pay special attention if the firm you're looking into handles property matters because they are often targeting by fraudsters and https: www.ncsc.gov.uk collection phishing-scams" phishing scams< a>. . But if you don't find many reviews of a firm, don't take that as a ne...


Kee Solicitors Family Law: If you're trying to look for reviews on Google it is becoming more common to have to enter the location as well as the firm's name - e.g. It also seems to show a bit more faith in their services , as they are not in control of all the reviews Trustpilot shows about them. No...

Nero Legal Solicitors: Articles that are definitely aimed at consumers to help them have a handle on processes and possible jargon before discussions - are therefore surely a positive sign? class="infoquote "We are proud to be Scotland's Official Charity Partnered Law Firm. Our commitment...


Oakwood Property Solicitors: The official website is www.oakwoodsolicitors.co.uk matching the branding which is also very helpful. We should make a quick note on navigation.

Thomas & Thomas Solicitors: class="infoquote "As a forward-thinking law firm, we are continuously investing in new and innovative legal solutions and technology"< div> Another quick note on navigation. Or 'founded in 1920' which makes the firm sound as though they have experience, but t...


TWB Probate Solicitors Ltd: That's not to say there aren't alot of well experienced people such as paralegals out there who can help.

Waterstone PS: Common sense dictates there will not be a 200-year-old wise old lawyer running the place. Because they also provide the qualification dates and areas of law focused on by each solicitor. As some tend to pack their pages with nothing but sales pitches. That got us thinking...


Wolf Law Ltd: If you are looking up the firm on Google such as for reviews, you may have to enter the town name as well to get those details to show up - e.g. That brings up the point to always be extra careful if you are dealing with a property matter. It's the same firm as far as...


WYM Legal Solicitors: Either the length of time taken, delays that no-one will take the blame for, extra reports being ordered, and more. It's a curse that comes with the job.
