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: If you've just finished flicking through a dozen of them before arriving here you'll no doubt have already worked out they all seem to say very similar things. Little things like these can show a firm really interested in it's work, the people coming through their site, and ...


Amy King Solicitor: 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 big bold letters yet never seem t...


Baker Hardman Ltd: With so much choice though, how do you know which firm is right for you? There are some resources online you may not be aware of and some things to watch out for when scrolling through the various law firm websites. So when a firm states you have 'direct access to yo...


Brian Barr Ltd: The reason people prefer the public boards such as Google, Trustpilot, Facebook, etc. class="infoquote "97% compensation claims success rate achieved by Brian Barr Solicitors in 2021"< div> Obviously the first thing people usually check is company reviews...


Brodies Solicitors LLP: You need to find the things that set firms apart from each other, not what just sounds good on a webpage next to an image of lawyers smiling and shaking hands. Not many will be able to boast these sorts of numbers. Nearly three quarters of people ticked that they prefer to s...


Cook Law in Wirral: People are always quick to post a review of the last pizza place they just ate at. But as they typically only post the positive comments - you don't get to see any potential negative themes if they exist. Either way we always recommend reading the actual comments rather th...


Crockett Solicitors: You could end up with a 1-year green lawyer from a 40-year-old law firm and vice versa. While not a 100% perfect way to guarantee experience, you can at least see if the solicitor you're talking to has been a solicitor for twenty years or twenty days. A theme of a caring at...


CWJ Solicitors & Notaries: For example at this firm you can see a range of legal professionals with experience stretching over the past five decades. class="infoquote "CWJ is a progressive modern practice that operates proactively on its clients' behalf by combining the knowledge and experienc...


Defank Solicitors Croydon: A note for security. The firm's official site is www.defanksolicitors.com but www.defanksolicitors.co.uk is not owned by them. But you can get a 40-year veteran lawyer from a 1-year old law brand, and a 1-year newbie lawyer from a 200-year old law firm. Any big chan...


Eatons Solicitors Ltd: class="infoquote "Bradford-based Eatons Solicitors has merged with Bingley law firm Weatherhead and Butcher Solicitors, expanding its West Yorkshire presence. But we always recommend using The Law Society of England & Wales' website. One thing to watch for when resear...


EMD Law Solicitors: (Lots of people smiling, looking at paperwork, and the obligatory handshake snapshot.) class="infoquote "We believe that visiting a solicitor should not be a frightening or daunting experience and we do our utmost to put our clients at ease"< div> This snippit f...


England & Derbyshire Solicitors: The .com does not redirect you there though and as you can see, the "&" part of the name is not in the web address. "england" and "derbyshire". The easiest way to check up on the experience of the actual staff at the firm is to look them up on their Law Society page. At th...

Nero Legal Solicitors: Either they offer a unique type of service, handle a unique case range, utilise a unique setup, or stand out from the others in just their style or site language. For example, the Nero website contains various help articles such as 'A Guide To Self Build Property', 'A Guide ...


Eve Lake Conveyancing: There have been tens of thousands of people across the UK https: www.lawsociety.org.uk public for-public-visitors common-legal-issues payment-diversion-fraud" handing their entire house deposit to fraudsters< a> sometimes over a simple email telling them the bank details ...


Farah Family Law: Who knows the short cuts. The reason people like the word "specialist" so much, is it makes them think the firm has - not just extensive experience - but a real desire to handle such cases. Because even though they handle multiple areas of law, they technically do ha...


Frei Solicitors Ltd: We know of long established veteran law firms with zero reviews on Google and 1-year startup legal practices with a few dozen comments. Just always watch out and be careful online as https: www.nidirect.gov.uk articles online-scams" there are always scammers< a> looking...


Girlings Personal Injury Claims Ltd: There are separate reviews for the Personal Injury Claims department if you type that in.. If a law firm handles only one case type such as Motoring Offences, they are clearly specialists . But while those sales words sound good, they really don't help you distinguish one ...


Garden Stirling Burnet: However, Garden Stirling Burnet Ltd are currently showing an average of 4.2 stars. Their claim of 30 years' experience though may sound small https: find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk company SC507024 officers" in comparison< a> to some firms claimi...


Harrisons Thames Valley Solicitors LLP: People have handed millions in mortgage deposits to fraudsters sometimes simply because they received an official-looking email stating the bank details of their solicitor had changed.

HCR Law Solicitors: HCR Legal has 10 locations at present: Worcester, Cambridge, Ross-On-Wye, Reading, Cheltenham, Hereford, Northampton, Cardiff, Birmingham, and London.

Heritage Park Family Law: So on this occasion the person actually handling your case should have 30+ years of experience under their belt. However it should be noted that a date stated on a website is not always a clear indication. As you can see the majority are positive . The main source pe...


Horsley Holdings Ltd: 95% Cases Won. The firm is also registered with The Law Society of England & Wales which is great. Their official site is at www.horsleylaw.co.uk but be aware that the .com version does not redirect you there. The snippets above are from testimonials posted on the firm...

Large & Gibson Solicitors: Not QS as a whole. However, Quality Solicitors is not the parent company of Large & Gibson or any of the dozens of law firms currenly displaying that honorific.

Divorce Coaching in the UK: But a divorce coach might be useful if you find yourself lost or stuck, unsure how to move forward, or struggling with communication and conflict during the process. They don't replace legal professionals but help you stay focused, make informed decisions, and manage the emo...


Lyons Law: However, despite it looking slightly odd for a law firm to claim it specialises and then rattle off a long list of case types, this can be accurate. The most common complaint we hear is that they all look the same. If you've flicked through half a dozen firms today you'll ...


Mark Croft Motor Offence: It's a shame the Scottish and Irish do not have such a resource. class="infoquote "I am available to undertake criminal legal aid agency work."< div> Again this is another statement that you might let slip by , but since the '90s there have been increasing effo...


Marsden Rawsthorn Solicitors Ltd: Sometimes simply because an official looking email came through asking them to change the bank details the deposit is paid to. However, if you live in England and Wales this is something you can easily check up on. There is no way to see overall reviews and ratings on larger...


McCarthy and Co Solicitors: But every little helps. Never, ever discuss payments via email and call the person you normally deal with to ask if any change is valid. Ampersands and plus signs cannot be in web addresses. That's tens of thousands of pounds at a time. A quick note on navigation sho...


MPGQS: The only resource people can use in these situations tends to be reviews. MPG Quantity Surveyors Ltd is regulated by the https: www.rics.org " RICS< a> (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors). It would be great to see this from other regulatory bodies. Often tes...


SG Murphy & Co Ltd: a results focused legal firm with clients across Northern Ireland."< div> Since all law firms seem to use language such as 'friendly', 'modern', or 'experienced' in their websites it sort of devalues the claim. They can tell you more about the actual firm and it's pr...


Oakwood Property Solicitors: That's much rarer than you might think and indicates a far better chance your solicitor will be directly involved in the case.

Solidaire Law Ltd: But that could simply mean they have 10x members of staff each with only 2x years of experience. Things like this are important to note as there is https: www.ncsc.gov.uk guidance phishing" a lot of fraud< a> targeting customers of law firms at the moment. Be awa...


Sternberg Reed Solicitors: There are always websites to tell you the "10 best" of something or you'll have your own brand loyalty already. Claiming you get better personalised attention within a smaller firm rather than be lost in the crowd. However you can actually look up the level of experience wit...


Thomas & Thomas Solicitors: The same for anything in Scotland above the Edinburgh Glasgow line. So what are they saying? class="infoquote "made a house sale process smooth and as quick as possible" "Young friendly staff keen and pleasant" "worked tirelessly to ensure that the purchase didn...

Wolf Law Ltd: That brings up the point to always be extra careful if you are dealing with a property matter. (If that makes sense?) class="infoquote "You'll be given a representatives mobile number so you can call, even when the office is closed"< div> Little things li...


WYM Legal Solicitors: We've seen a divorce specialist with a negative review for not handling criminal cases, and one firm with a 5 star rating for the incredible menu. This makes it tricky for people to use star ratings to judge between property firms. That includes any alternate trading names, ...


Law Solicitors: The official site for this firm has a less usual ending to being www.your.law and no other websites currently redirect you there. It's very difficult to work out which law firm is best for your case based on simply flicking through each firm's website. The worst currently ta...
