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: For ACSL it shows Peter Skinner as having qualified back in 1985, Gina Stanton in 1992, and Joseph Mulrooney in 2009. Unless there is a firm out there saying the like to use 'complicated English', are 'out of date', 'unfriendly', or 'inexperienced' - then this sort of inform...


Amy King Solicitor: So does the age of a company's brand name mean anything? class="infoquote "Sound legal advice is based on years of training, hard work, and passion, as well as familiarity with legislation and precedent and sound consideration."< div> < br> That's a quote from ...


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. A note on navigation as there are variations to bear in mind. The Law Society of...


Brian Barr Ltd: Google has been moving towards a more local setup for reviews though, so sometimes you have to enter the location of the company as well as the name - e.g. There is only the one office so a search for their name will usually bring up their site, links to regulatory bodies, c...


Brodies Solicitors LLP: 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 . You can receive great attention from a large firm and some small specialist firms have amazing resources and experience to draw on...


Cook Law in Wirral: It's not always as easy to find reviews of legal companies though. But they tend not to run online to discuss their criminal charges, will, messy divorce, or bankruptcy. But law firms were genuine local fixtures for centuries before the internet arrived. Most ...


Crockett Solicitors: It takes all sorts ... The Law Society of England & Wales lists most firms providing their contact information, areas of law covered, and a list of registered solicitors within the firm. class="infoquote "As a compassionate law firm, we take pride in representing vuln...


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. The Law Society also lists the qualification dates of each solicitor within any firm. It's the only way you'...


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. Defank Solicitors https: defanksolicitors.com 1_21_fess-wills-probate.html" does list fees< a> for their Will Probate, ...


Eatons Solicitors Ltd: But most importantly they also list the areas of expertise and qualification date of every solicitor registered within the firm as well. Many firms have testimonials on their websites, but that's not what people want to see. It's important to note that most law firms that ...


EMD Law Solicitors: We've covered https: www.directaccessportal.co.uk " Direct Access< a> barristers and even paralegal firms which both can result in lower costs. At least this sounds as though you will get to talk to an actual solicitor about your case. class="infoquote "The firm ha...

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. With every fir...


Eve Lake Conveyancing: If they are not on your mortgage lender's panel then there could be an extra fee required (at the very least) so it's something to check on before signing on the dotted line with any conveyancer. This is hugely important to note because for property matters you absol...


Farah Family Law: But when it comes to family law - it can be rare . But always pay attention to what site you are on and who is actually emailing you. But on this occasion the full quote "master of none, though oftentimes better than master of one" - usually does not apply. Family Law isn't...


Frei Solicitors Ltd: We also include specialist firms where we can for every area of law. Because when you target a very small market of individuals with your services, getting feedback publicly can take a lot longer. As you may have noticed if you've flicked through the law firm listings ...


Girlings Personal Injury Claims Ltd: Big thumbs up. Today's article focuses on the firm Girlings which has a setup that might seem different and even unusual today, but which was completely common just a decade ago. We're referring to the fact Girlings Solicitors has a separate division for their compensation c...


Garden Stirling Burnet: This is because most people get frustrated with property sales. It's probably a good idea to never discuss payments via email. . Sadly, the Scottish Law Society does not offer the wealth of information that it's England Wales counterpart supplies consumers south of t...


Harrisons Thames Valley Solicitors LLP: It will take you less than 30 seconds to have looked up that information but armed with these kinds of details you'll be able to tell important differences beyond the glossy pages of the various websites. We had to look up individual listing information and reviews for eac...


HCR Law Solicitors: That's a huge range of experience levels within the firm mixing wise old heads with fresh eyes - which can't possibly be a bad thing. There is no page showing all feedback for the company as a whole. For example, if you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 542379 h...


Heritage Park Family Law: If their name wasn't enough of a giveaway , the first line of their website: class="infoquote "Specialists in family law since 1994 representing clients in all aspects of divorce, separation, financial arrangements, co-habitation and matters involving children."< div...


Horsley Holdings Ltd: For newer firms this might be more difficult. class="infoquote "worked tirelessly to ensure a speedy recovery from this devastating disaster" "persistent and tenacious on behalf of his clients" "very understanding and sympathetic" "took on my case at short notic...


Kee Solicitors Family Law: Sadly, that resource is the Law Society of England & Wales which doesn't cover this Scottish firm. Hopefully one day the Scottish database will be as good as the English (which is a tough thing to say as a Scottish firm ourselves!) class="infoquote "informative, profe...


Large & Gibson Solicitors: Each firm also typically changes their own website to redirect to a profile section on the main https: en.wikipedia.org wiki QualitySolicitors" www.qualitysolicitors.com< a> instead - but more on that later. Most people will head to the public boards such as Google, Faceb...

  McCarthy and Co Solicitors: So the phrase 'award-winning' is not of itself meaningful. This offers huge advantages when trying to verify a law firm or look into which is best for you.

  MPGQS: But many still don't know about other options such as using Arbitration or Mediation firms. Sadly, the UK's legal system was like that for centuries and has been very slow to change. MPGQS lists comments from previous and current clients on their website: class="infoq...
  
  
  SG Murphy & Co Ltd: So how do you tell them apart? Sadly, since the giant push for marketing jargon to make things sound great no matter what, it can be difficult. When was the last time you saw a firm admit to being 'rude', 'outdated', or 'lacking experience'? We've often praise...
  
  
  Oakwood Property Solicitors: If you have access to the possible services of 100,000 solicitors nationwide rather than just the few local law firms around you - surely you are better off?

  PCS Legal Conveyancing: It looks as though they also list some details about whether they have ever received complaints about each firm.

  Dispute Resolver Consultancy: This can save considerable court time and therefore legal fees required to complete the case. The .co.uk versions for each are also not in use.

  Waterstone PS: 'waterstone partnership bradford'. There are other firms with 'waterstones' in the name such as Waterstone Legal in London. They are all very positive.
