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: For example legal matters such as a wills or debt recovery or bankruptcy don't always result in a solicitor as being your best first point of contact. Whilst this can fall into the same trap of the branding not always reflecting the experience of the actual lawyer assig...


Antony Hodari Legal Services: But we didn't find out the spark that created Antony Hodari. It certainly does help to have someone very interested in your specific case type handling the matter for you though. We always recommend taking a quick look at the local law society page for any firm you'r...


Allan Argue and Co Solicitors: However it's easy to imagine getting lost in the numbers at a large firm as well. The legal industry genuinely is one where the wheels of progress and modernisation turn a lot slower. But they really don't. Litigation issues tend to follow the same pattern though and most Pe...


Beers Solicitors LLP: That is not the case. A lot of comments about friendliness and speed. If there are several negative comments related to being uncontactable - that's a good thing to note. It's true the majority of firms we write about are going to receive fairly positive comments because w...

Disrepair Claims UK: In fact, solicitors themselves https: www.legalfutures.co.uk latest-news solicitor-sanctioned-for-dealing-with-unregulated-cmcs" can be fined and even stricken off< a> for dealing with unregulated claims management companies. The first means that if your case loses you ha...


Bellax Solicitors: class="infoquote "With our experience of acting for claimants and defendants we can spot potential problems early"< div> A quick note on navigation. But absolutely no solicitor should charge you any fees for running the case or if the case loses. Fortunately, Bel...


Bilkus and Boyle: Fortunately there are resources online to help you distinguish between them a little better and hopefully make the decision easier. The rest seem to refer to their actual services though: class="infoquote "have used the firms services for various things over the year...


BLZ Solicitors Ltd: So if they take a few shortcuts in the marketing department - that's perfectly fine. If someone seems genuinely interested in your case it seems to really, really count. These four case types are not exactly the easiest or the best paying in relation to lawyer earnings elsew...


Branch Austin Solicitors: So don't take any negative ratings as meaning anything unless there are explanatory (non-stupid) reasons given. In this Facebook Instagram age - people really do feel more of a connection with a firm if there are photos and descriptions of the staff. But make sure never to...


Burton & Co Quality Solicitors: Especially those with https: www.theguardian.com money 2019 aug 24 the-45000-deposit-for-our-first-home-was-stolen-and-the-banks-did-nothing" huge house deposits waiting to buy< a> a property. A huge mix of seasoned gurus along side fresh legs and ideas. With all th...


Catteralls in Wakefield: That's surely a very good sign. The most common errors of www.catterall.co.uk, www.catterallsolicitors.co.uk, and to a lesser extent the dot coms as well are all owned by other companies too. We did see the name 'Catterall Pell & Moxon' popping up, a branding that no longer...


Cheshire Estates and Legal Ltd: Quite often negative ratings are left by the side the law firm beat in court. These types of claims are sometimes short-lived or have government mandated dates by which point no more claims are allowed such as the banking PPI claims. Today we're covering the firm CEL Solicit...


Cook's Solicitors: That's also something we would consider a good sign that people outside the industry might not be aware of. a genuinely local firm but with a much larger firm's resources behind it. Put simply, if a firm is doing really badly or has a bad reputation in a local area -...


Deo Volente Legal: However both www.deovolente.com and www.deovolente.co.uk are owned by other firms. If you've used our site before or read through any of our articles, you may have noticed that we're not a regular directory just cramming in every high street firm. A quite note on naviga...


Dylan Nair Ltd Solicitors: Some firms will give you 15 mins, some may charge a reduced fee for an initial consultation, and some may offer you a good hour but with a very junior member of staff - i.e. The official site we link to above is www.dylannair.com however www.dylannair.co.uk does not seem to ...


Fair Result Divorce: class="infoquote "We start at the end point. In our opinion, the age of a legal brand is unimportant . So is Fair Result's claim just vague sales jargon? Well, no. class="infoquote "With an accumulation of over 70 years experience in commercial negotiation fi...


Frazer Coogans Solicitors: However at the time of writing they only have a 3.9 star rating on Google. class="infoquote "went the extra mile to extract all the information I needed for piece of mind" "I have found their staff and service to be friendly, considered, efficient, attentive and ...


Fultons Estate Agents: Don't just flick through star ratings. class="infoquote "With our estate agency and property conveyancing teams under one roof, we offer a seamless transition from initial valuation and marketing through negotiation and conclusion of the contract to the conveyancing a...


Hawkridge & Co Solicitors: Popular words these days which we've seen across huge numbers of legal professionals sites include 'modern', 'specialist', 'friendly', 'leading' and so on. That's why some of the largest conveyancing expert firms in the whole UK often have very undeserved 2-3 star average re...


Hooper Hyde Solicitors: The official site we link to above is www.hooperhyde.com with www.hooperhyde.co.uk not currently redirecting you there. But others may state something like 'over ten years of experience within the firm' - which could mean five staff members with just two years experience ea...


Jacobs Law Solicitors: Some go too far such as listing favourite colours. So that makes it less helpful in distinguishing between firms when you're weighing up the pros and cons. Sadly buying or selling a house in England Wales is fraught with risks delays and despite it often being completely out...


JPS Walker Solicitors: That date however is simply when that particular name started to be used. class="infoquote "request a free consultation from our experienced legal team"< div> Obviously we think highly of JPS Walker Solicitors otherwise we wouldn't have added them to our databas...


Khan Law Glasgow: For example, you don't get individual pages on firms or their solicitors. Always make sure you're on the correct website and never discuss bank details or payments via email . . A firm can be a specialist by targeting just single area of law. The Scottish Law S...


KRS Wills & Probate: Most of the alternate searches we did such as 'krs wills' and 'krs probate' still brought up the correct firm. At the moment most scams in the law industry are aimed at property sales purchases with fraudsters https: www.lloydsbank.com help-guidance protecting-yoursel...


Lefevres Scotland Ltd: The name is quite unique so any searches for 'lefevers solicitors', 'lefevere's law', or other commonly expected errors all still brought up the correct site in searches. You can end up hiring a 40-year-guru lawyer from a law practice that set up 6 months ago. Iain Nicol was...

David Stinson & Co Solicitors: But you never know what scammers will think of next so it's often a good idea to bookmark the correct website and never discuss payments via email. But a lower number of reviews or even zero is something you will see for most law firms. This can often be misleading because i...


Mckie Legal Solicitors Ltd: Most scammers target law firm clients that will be making a payment to their solicitor. That means more than you might think. We've covered many firms that proudly start off their website's sales pitch with 'as a large city firm ...' or something similar. A good resou...


Michael Leighton Jones Solicitors: There is a firm call 'MLJ Legal Ltd' based in Hull, but at the moment searches including MLJ acronyms also brought up the michaelleightonjones website. Because the firm deals with conveyancing matters we would recommend bookmarking the site or using a search to make ...


Milners Law LLP: Variants such as www.milnerssolicitors.com or .co.uk also are not related. They have three offices in Leeds, Harrogate, and Pontefract. (Quick tip, if you want to see reviews about a specific office near you, you need to add the town name to the search such as 'milners law w...


Fentimans My Law Matters: Fentimans https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation offices 1229 fentiman-legal-limited" are registered with< a> The Law Society of England & Wales which is great because it has the best user-side offering we know of out of such organisations. The client then han...


One Law Solicitors & Barristers: Be careful when researching law firm reviews though. They often sound very different from regular third party review forums as well. class="infoquote "ONELAW CHAMBERS and its lawyers provide a specialist and bespoke legal service in Civil and Commercial Litigation, Bus...


Pacific Law: However, to state 'pay no attention to this reviewer, they are just a sore loser' has never felt like something they could pull off and look good doing. There is no 200 year old solicitor imparting guru-style advice at the long-established brand. class="infoquote "Pac...


Penerley Solicitors: class="infoquote "Penerley provides first-rate legal services to businesses and private individuals."< div> We're now at a stage on the web where people typically have access to online reviews about everything from toasters to plumbers to local courts. But at the ...


Suhail Ahmad at Richmond Legal: Therefore any legal professional still willing to help clients apply and then work under those provisions will always get some respect from us . To use a description any less than 'expert' would clearly be unwise. So for Richmond Legal to cover both these quite specialist a...


RM Solicitors: there are plenty of other firms using those two initials. Whether you have been involved in an accident, received bad advice, negligent medical treatment or have a dispute we're here to help."< div> When it comes to 'specialist' firms most people will tend to think of s...


Simper Law: There are others as well in between those dates providing a good mix of seasoned experience alongside fresh legs and ideas. Personal Injury, Neighbour Disputes, Medical Negligence, etc.) just different types of cases that can be brought within that area of law. It's very c...


Springle Solicitors: This specialist firm handles Estate Planning matters including Wills, Probate, and Powers of Attorney. At one point, more than two thirds of people were dying without leaving a will . When comparing any firm there are many resources online to help. Two, in legal matt...


Stenfield Solicitors Ltd: We did see a couple of complaints. However you will need to enter one of the office locations such as 'norwich' or 'london' to get the popup box with all the specific reviews, opening hours, etc. We ran a poll a few years ago which came back in the single digits for people...


Swain and Co Solicitors: So if a firm accepts Legal Aid clients at all, then that's an instant brownie point from us. Now we come to a firm with several separate offices but different names for some of them. I approached them full of cynicism after years of let downs by other lawyers. We can help ...


Taylor Price Legal Ltd: However some firms with long case lists can still absolutely be 'specialists' as long as there are individual lawyers within the firm focused on certain niche case types each. A quick note on navigation then with that point in mind. Although if you're anything lik...


The Legal Practice Solicitors: People https: www.express.co.uk finance personalfinance 1497866 Lloyds-bank-scam-warning-fraud-money-box-uk" have handed tens of thousands of pounds of their savings< a> over to these fraudsters bank accounts. Reading negative reviews may not always put someone off using ...


Trojan Solicitors: These days there's a huge number of firms who have chosen to focus on a handful of sometimes completely unrelated case types such as bankruptcy and probate together. The majority did so simply because they received an email that told them the bank details for their soli...


Trust Inheritance Limited: We've talked a lot before about specialists versus general practice firms. Be warned though that you really need to read the comments and not just rely on star ratings. There are dozens out there, but the most commonly used are Google Reviews, Yelp, Trustpilot and Yell....


Ullah Law Associates: For example, the biggest scam going around the UK just now is when fraudsters email clients saying the bank details for their house deposit have changed. Those clients then simply transfer the money to the fraudster's bank account without bothering to check with their solici...


Young & Co Solicitors: As we've said before, that should really provide a best-of-both-worlds situation where clients get the personalised services they'd expect from a local firm, but with the resources of a much larger organisation behind them. Certainly we may sound very 'pro' Young & Co...
