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: They are one of the few firms we've seen with a https: abslawyers.co.uk pl home-polski " full Polish section< a> on their website. If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation offices 600584 abs-lawyers-limited" check out the page for this firm< a>...


Aconveyancing Ltd: https: www.theguardian.com money 2017 jan 14 lost-67000-conveyancing-scam-friday-afternoon-fraud-legal-sector-email-hacker" Scammers are taking millions from UK buyers sellers< a> right now and easily too. Aconveyancing on the other hand, has completely bucked this trend...


Antony Hodari Legal Services: As specialists go, this is an unusual one to find. We always recommend taking a quick look at the local law society page for any firm you're thinking of using. We've also seen many disgruntled reviews over solicitors refusing to take someone's case. We never know...


Allan Argue and Co Solicitors: They make a further point about this on the Argue & Co website: class="infoquote "Allan's vision for Argue & Co Legal is to establish a small firm, with small running costs and small client numbers; enabling the firm to focus on providing its clients with a first ...


Aspire Licensing & Administrative Services: For cases such as Motor Offenses or a Personal Injury, absolutely we would recommend a firm that is clearly a law office. They are therefore not registered with the Law Society of England & Wales or the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA). Aspire Licensing & Administrative...


Bilkus and Boyle: Be aware that no genuine web address can have an ampersand such as www.bilkus&boyle.com and none of the name-only variants such as www.bilkusboyle.com or the .co.uk's seem to be owned by anyone. Vice versa, a firm quoting just a few years since opening could have sever...


BLZ Solicitors Ltd: A quick note on navigation. Their site is https secure though so entering your information on the contact form should be fine. That's why we have general practice firms along side specialists - as well as alternate solutions such as mediation companies. But on scrolli...


Catteralls in Wakefield: No seriously. These are random snippets across a wide range of reviewers, most of whom decided that was the main feature they wanted to comment on. But the reason we point out how easy it is to get mixed up is because this firm deal with Property Conveyancing matters https:...


Cheshire Estates and Legal Ltd: So, claim absolutely verified. It may seem a pedantic thing to do, but we're quite fed up of how much companies in the UK get away with when it comes to advertising language. When legal issues come up, it's good to have options. That's because legal professionals and law f...


Deo Volente Legal: One last snippet from the firm's site: class="infoquote "We are here to offer all the expertise and support you will need"< div>. class="infoquote "always responds very promptly to any questions" "Kept us well informed every step of the way." "effici...


Dylan Nair Ltd Solicitors: class="infoquote "very responsive and helpful in every way" "I eventually pulled out of the purchase, but was not charged any extra, and fees were transparent" "were efficient and always answered our calls" "There were complications and what was gre...

Mckie Legal Solicitors Ltd: Knowing the correct name for a firm is also useful when background checking about them as that will be the name registered with organisations and government agencies. So make sure to read actual comments of any reviews when it comes to lawyers rather than just flickin...


Special Education Needs Lawyer: Criminal Injury and Uninsured Driver cases are often like this because they involved pursuing money from the government. For example Wills and many Tax matters can be handled by companies without any legal qualifications. The first quote in this article was from the Ed...


Fair Result Divorce: Enquiring about and researching what avenues are available should be anyone's first point of call before actually starting to weigh up which firm out of those options to use. That's where we saw that the firm was pretty new. At the moment https: www.halifax.co....


Fieldfisher Solicitors LLP: As there are no extra generic terms such as 'fieldfisher law' or 'fieldfisher legal' to cause confusion, and with most people being able to get the i and the e in the correct order (as the defunct i before e rule only impedes words with a c in them) - we don't expect there ...


Fultons Estate Agents: Plus in England Wales house sales can fall through right at the last minute through no fault of the solicitor, but they will often get the bad review anyway. But we would have thought it common sense to phone your actual conveyancing firm to confirm such BEFORE transferrin...


Hawkridge & Co Solicitors: It could have been for logo design, which really doesn't help in estimating the quality of their legal services. class="infoquote "excellent friendly polite proffesional staff" "worked through the case very methodically but still managed to achieve the deadline ne...


Hooper Hyde Solicitors: We currently showcase the regular high-street-style solicitors people have come to expect, as well as some alternative services that act as an in-house legal team of their own. That's not always the most helpful information for the firm to offer because it's not as if their ...


Howe and Co Solicitors: Howe & Co are registered with The Law Society of England & Wales which is a great resource offering a huge amount of information to users. One of our staff worked in immigration (Liverpool) for about a year and confirms it can be a very emotionally strenous environment, an...


Jacobs Law Solicitors: Some go too far such as listing favourite colours. class="infoquote "Our lawyers are friendly and approachable, an important trait when dealing with client matters."< div> Again, this is something practically every law firm will say. There are many other overly us...


Khan Law Glasgow: That's because we've seen law firms with five star reviews for their dog-friendly restaurant and others being criticised for simply being a law firm. class="infoquote "Raees was awarded the 'Rising Star in Law Award' at the prestigious Scottish Asian Business Awards"<...


KRS Wills & Probate: At the moment most scams in the law industry are aimed at property sales purchases with fraudsters https: www.lloydsbank.com help-guidance protecting-yourself-from-fraud keep-your-home-safe-mortgage-deposit-scams.html" managing to convince people to send tens of thousands...

Branch Austin Solicitors: So don't take any negative ratings as meaning anything unless there are explanatory (non-stupid) reasons given. That's just ... For example, you would never see a bad review for Pizza Hut saying 'they wouldn't sell me a hamburger! ridiculous!!'. We've seen very tenous links ...


Levins Solicitors: So Levins' founding date of 1986 (whilst sounding relatively young for a legal practice) absolutely does not mean they have 100 years less experience than the next firm who claim a start date back in 1886. Not least to help them feel the firm more approachable. You c...


Mason Bullock Solicitors: If you ever want to look up the specialties or qualification dates of the solicitor you are thinking of using, there is usually that information on the firm's local Law Society website. This niche focus and lengthy experience clearly makes for a efficient and effective ...


McEwan Fraser Legal Scotland: It's probably a good idea to bookmark the site once you're on it. But considering they cover pratically everything else we really like a firm to do: transparency over claims such as awards, out of hours services, proper staff profiles, engaging with online forums, a...


MGBe Legal Ltd: MGBe Legal specialise in the latter of those. Most mentioned the depth of knowledge. class="infoquote "At MGBe Legal we specialise in personal and business immigration."< div> We've discussed the pros and cons of using specialist firms before, but there are ...


Michael Leighton Jones Solicitors: So if there are very few or even zero reviews for a firm - that shouldn't be taken as a negative sign. The most common being Google, Trustpilot, Yell.com, Facebook, Yelp, etc. There are still plenty of firms out there that will charge a consultation fee or even full hourly ...


Milners Law LLP: We just mean that when people think of a high-street, local solicitor firm - Milner's is exactly the type of setup they imagine . Some have a bit more background about their work life. Those people then apparently pay tens of thousands into the fraudster's bank account wit...


OTS Immigration Solicitors: That's like leaving a bad review for McDonalds for not selling pizza. The qualification dates are of special interest to most people when we point this out. class="infoquote "OTS Solicitors is one of the UK's leading law firms located in the City of London."< div...


Pacific Law: However we have worked with some of the key players in the past. In our opinion both sides are just marketing language. class="infoquote "We listen ... We've also seen dozens of negative reviews followed by comments from the firm stating 'this person has never been a c...


Penerley Solicitors: You don't actually have to be a qualified solicitor to sell someone some employee contract templates or provide advice on setting up your small business. Unfortunately this has not really spread to law firms as much as everywhere else. But at the moment, Google is listing th...


Pump Court Chambers Barristers: Statements like the one above are displayed on practically every legal firm's website. Pump Court Chambers don't handle property matters, but you never know what scammers will come up with next. This always seemed un-necessary extra time and cost for clients. you'll see that...


RD Costings Ltd: Quite often a personal injuries practice will state no win, no fee and leave it at that. Lastly, when you search for the "rd costings" name on a search engine there is a company website at www.rcostings.co.uk for a different firm. They're also not against an insurance ...


Reid and Black Solicitors: But even that still had a 5 star rating and ended with a bit about how the extra expense seemed worth it in the end. Alongside Criminal Injuries, Untraced Drivers and Medical Negligence matters - Military Claims can take a long time, be less likely to suceed, and pay out muc...


Suhail Ahmad at Richmond Legal: It's pretty bleak though and only getting worse. So whilst it's easy to find the confirmation of expertise and experience from places like the law society - it's unfortunately not been long enough for a good amount of public reviews to be available on the web. For example ...


Robin Somerville Barrister: For any law office, a lack of public reviews should never be taken as a bad sign . We checked with Google, Yelp, Yell.com and Trustpilot as well as some other sites like ours that recommend or list barrister information. Originally you would have to hire a solicitor and...


Conveyancing Search Providers: to confirm past client opinions. SDLT.co.uk help stop stamp tax form rejections by pre-populating the forms and providing a printed SDLT5 certificate - they've handled over 3.6 million submissions to the HMRC already. We think it's fair to say though that after 12+ years...


Springle Solicitors: Solicitors are a specialist firm like the last two we've covered. An exaggerated example? No, not really. Every client relationship matters to us."< div> So back to the matter of whether Springle and Co are a good firm to use should you decide that now is the time to ta...


Stenfield Solicitors Ltd: class="infoquote "83% of new clients are recommended to us through word of mouth"< div> A quick note on navigation because although we link to the official site above as www.stenfield.com, there is a completely different firm using the www.stenfield.co.uk domain. ...


Taylor Price Legal Ltd: Similar looking domains designed to mislead you and other phishing scams are still rampant. It's not the age of the firm that's important, but the experience levels of the staff. Nine times out of ten this will be a gambit to make people think there is a huge amount of expe...


The Injury Solicitor Salford: class="infoquote "With almost 10 years' of experience in personal injury law, we understand that no two cases are the same."< div> If you're a very diligent researcher when it comes to the firms you want to use you'll have noticed, like we did, that The Law Societ...


Trojan Solicitors: Which brings us neatly back to our original question about when is a firm a 'specialist' and when it is 'multi-practice'. Since Brexit, having a lawyer with genuine enthusaism and care for immigration matters is not just beneficial - but practically imperative. class...


Trust Inheritance Limited: For example, a firm that states they handle "Will & Probate" matters may simply help people create a Will. Clearly some mix up with company names in the area. With Wills & Probate though, this idea of specialism goes an extra step further. There is a whole section http...


Ullah Law Associates: We recently found out consumers also actually enjoy such articles about previous cases a firm has handled. Having a mix of seasoned, older heads with fresh legs can surely only be a positive asset for any legal service provider? class="infoquote "Our aim is to suppo...
