Want Experienced Opinions from the Industry?

Not enough? Well not to worry. Here are some more of the helpful information articles our staff have drawn together and published on our main 1to1Legal website:

2 Harcourt Chambers: For example if a firm claims to be modern, efficient, and friendly - that sounds great. But make sure to check through each chamber's website and have a good chat with someone on the phone to get some clarity about the Public Access Scheme in relation to what you need. A c...


A City Law Firm: So if you see clearer statements like those on A City Law Firm's site then tack on a couple of extra brownie points. So if you're having trouble finding them bear that in mind. We ran a poll a few years back which stated only 8% of you trusted company provided testimonial...


Backhouse Solicitors Ltd: A decent mix of seasoned professionals with young blood which you'd hope to see in any professional services firm. You can get a 1-year newbie solicitor from a 200-year-old firm and a 40 year veteran lawyer from a 1-year-old law practice brand. We've stated many times in...


Beers Solicitors LLP: It's true the majority of firms we write about are going to receive fairly positive comments because we've already vetted them for addition to our search database. That is not the case. So how can you tell if a firm has a good amount of experience if the founding date...


Bellax Solicitors: For all we know the poor rating is for something ridiculous or not even for the correct firm. That's the type that has several specialist solicitors under one roof. Even amongst conveyancing law firms where https: monzo.com blog we-sent-our-house-deposit-to-a-fraudster-who...


Bridge McFarland Solicitors: That means if you see a firm claiming a wealth of experience, you can check. Depending on which browser you use a typo can end up with you seeing adverts for other firms if not simply pushing you directly to the wrong site. The most common place people go to when look...


Brown & Co Solicitors: You'll get a lot of opinions on social boards or 'help' articles about the pros cons of using a large law firm, a small local firm, a specialist, a general practice firm, etc. Plus dozens of review pages both monitored and unmonitored. The first is whether a firm is actually...


Buchanan & Co Solicitors Ltd: But in fact the Conveyancing process can be complicated and is very important."< div> A quick note on navigation. class="infoquote "Our friendly and approachable team are here to help you deal with whatever legal issue you have"< div> Of course the first p...


Burton & Co Quality Solicitors: But the independent boards were also packed with positive comments as well. Whilst most of our articles are about individual firms along with the pros cons and things that stood out, today's piece on Burton & Co LLP will have to cover some new ground. That's quite somethi...


Calio Claims by Lindsays: You'd be amazed at the number of law firms with 5 star reviews for their new menu or 1 star reviews for the poor parking in the town centre. We don't know a single firm that charges for losses. First is that every personal injury firm should charge you no fees at all if they...


Cook's Solicitors: class="infoquote "We are a strong believer in explaining things simply and fighting for clients who have a good case."< div> . Most solicitors will blame the other side's solicitor for any issues that arise. Whilst many firms provide testimonials on their websites, th...


Cullimore Dutton Solicitors Ltd: Sadly due to the volatile nature of property buying and selling, there is usually one side of it that comes away less happy than they expected. One firm may say "established in 1881" while another says "40 years of experience". class="infoquote "Our team are focused o...

The Law Partnership Ltd: Although many firms provide 'testimonial' pages, according to our last poll not very many of you trust them (8%). While that may have meant something several decades ago, it is no longer any measure of a company's promise. Also, not all of them state it clearly. Hopefully if...


David Stinson & Co Solicitors: This can often be misleading because if the firm has 5 solicitors with just 4 years experience - that equals a total of 20 years. class="infoquote "David Stinson & Co is a trading name of Young and Co Solicitors Ltd"< div> A quick note on navigation for this bran...


Disrepair Claims UK: So whilst we still are not keen on the whole CMC thing as a general rule, in this instance using a company like DisrepairClaim.co.uk may be the only available option for many. As we've already said, there are a huge number of less-than-reputable people out there trying to ...


Drummond and Miller Solicitors: We can't even link you to a page with information, only https: www.lawscot.org.uk find-a-solicitor ?Name=drummond+miller&Postcode=&type=firm" to a search results page< a> which at the time of writing was pushing information off the edges of the mobile device. We've seen m...


EDC Lord Solicitors: class="infoquote "EDC Lord takes its name from our founder Edwin David Charles Lord who began his legal practice in 1919"< div> First and foremost, the website is easy to navigate, with a clear and concise layout that makes it easy to find the information you ...


Foster & Coleman Solicitors: This is simply not true any more. There were some comments available when we looked: class="infoquote "they have made me and my family very happy" "Outstanding service" "comitment to their clients requirements"< div> But note that when you search fo...


Frazer Coogans Solicitors: Because we're dealing with property matters is increasingly important to ensure you are using the correct websites and communication options. If you see a firm stating they are 'one of the leading' without any further information to back up what that means - or if ...


Goldsmith Bowers Solicitors Ltd: Sometimes over just a single official-looking email telling them the bank account details to pay their house deposit into have changed.. So don't dismiss such offers lightly. For example, this snippet from their website: class="infoquote "Specialist debt recovery, lit...

Guardian Law Ltd: class="infoquote "We offer fixed, retained or ad-hoc fees, depending on your requirements"< div> . That's because while many people are very happy to post about the great pizza or hotel stay, they are less inclined to publicly discuss their messy divorce, bankruptcy,...


Hill House Chambers Barristers: The main website is at www.hillhousechambers.co.uk which we link to above. Typically solicitors are not authorised to represent clients in actual court. class="infoquote "I have barristers based in different parts of the UK and they are also more than happy to tr...


JPS Walker Solicitors: JPS https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 597491 jps-walker-solicitors-ltd" are registered with< a> The Law Society of England & Wales which is the best out of such organisations for user-side data. However we've recently discovered that case studies on a law firm'...


Lefevres Scotland Ltd: Sadly in Scotland the Law Society website covering legal professionals is not as good as their English Welsh counterpart. The age of the firm's branding is irrelevant and often a very tenuous claim anyway. The obvious inference being that the older the company, the more...


LS Legal Solicitors: But how can you tell the difference? class="infoquote "offering a wide range of legal services to businesses and private individuals, domestic and international clients"< div> One online resource we've always championed is the website of The Law Society of Eng...


Mac Jones Solicitors: Just entering the firm name only works if they have only one office to show. Because whilst a fairly new legal practitioner can be bolstered by a good support team - there's nothing quite like having the experience in the bones of the person you are dealing with. no ... ...


MJV Law Solicitors: The branding is mostly 'MJV Solicitors' but the official site is www.mjvlaw.co.uk not www.mjvsolicitors.co.uk (which currently has no site on it). But one thing we did notice as a recurring theme across them all was 'Natalie' being named and thanked regularly. Vincent and hi...


Fentimans My Law Matters: There's also frequent bad comments from people who's case was considered ridiculous and refused to be taken on. class="infoquote "our team have years of experience and offer a wide range of legal services"< div> A quick note on navigation as we're dealing with a...


Nicholson Jones Sutton Solicitors Ltd: You might be missing some. A quick note on navigation. compensation claims). So even if your solicitor is totally modern and videochats you about the Whatsapp messages you've been sending ... After 20+ years of writing articles about the legal industry, we often worry ...


One Law Solicitors & Barristers: class="infoquote "ONELAW CHAMBERS and its lawyers provide a specialist and bespoke legal service in Civil and Commercial Litigation, Business Immigration, Personal Immigration, Landlord and Tenant and Probate matters"< div> That being said, the government has come...


LRose Law Ltd: If a legal practice https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 15402 lrose-law-limited" is registered with them< a> you can see all known trading names, contact details, alternative office addresses, staff qualifications specialties, and so on. Most people that end up on ...


RM Solicitors: So if a legal service provider has few or even zero reviews, don't take it as a negative sign . It's very common. Apparently people really are sending tens of thousands of pounds to the fraudsters without bothering to check with their solicitor about the payment change firs...


Simper Law: We've also seen several negative ratings by people who were angry that a firm refused to take their case on - which seems really unfair. Luckily this firm is registered with The Law Society of England & Wales which has the best user-side offering we've seen amongst such or...


Smith & Graham Solicitors: People have ended up https: www.walesonline.co.uk news homes-property home-buyers-warned-scam-could-21957792" handing over tens of thousands of pounds< a> to fraudsters something based on nothing more than an official-looking email saying they need to pay the house deposi...


Stowe Family Law Solicitors: So the name is still quite unique. So what are people saying about Stowe Family Law? class="infoquote "very supportive during otherwise difficult times" "She tells it like it is so I always know where I stand" "kept my costs to a minimum throughout my separation" ...


Summerfield Browne: class="infoquote "able to say (and do) things in a way that doesn't sound confusing" "Listened to my contractual issue and dealt with it in a timely manner" "helped me with car purchase dispute received excellent service"< div> These are some snippets from t...


Swain and Co Solicitors: The branding of these three offices is Swain & Co Solicitors Ltd who are part of Young and Co Solicitors Ltd (that's the 'Y' on the edge of the logo). For example in Havant (near Portsmouth) they list a range of staff including Samantha Lee who qualified as a solicitor...


Thaxted Legal Immigration: This kind of offering demonstrates two things (to us at least). Sadly the government body doesn't even provide a good advisor search function and when trying to look up a firm there is a mountain of reading involved just to find the link to take you to the page that takes yo...


The Lady Barrister: As a client who needs legal advice or representation in court, this could save you money in legal fees."< div> That's a snippet from the official site about direct access barristers which is what this piece will be discussing. This is even more difficult for peo...


The Legal Practice Solicitors: So whilst there is no solicitor in the firm with the full 50 years' experience, we certainly can't say they are lacking it. Reading negative reviews may not always put someone off using a firm unless there is a clear theme. The official website is www.thelegalpractice....


WH Law Ltd: The home office granted the application." "I am flying to UK on 1st Feb to see my children after a gap of 3 years!" "Can't describe how grateful I am for all his help in making my application for a Spouse Visa successful."< div> These snippets are typical of the ...


Wildcat Law Solicitors: Sound results."< div> Most companies use words such as modern, practical, friendly, professional, experienced, etc in their website text and it all sounds great. You can hire a barrister yourself. Always make sure you're on the correct site and never be afraid to call ...


Wilford Smith: Keep aware of which site you are on and never discuss payment details via email.. While these are obviously good things to describe your firm, there is no-one claiming the opposite (i.e. Todays article focuses on Wilford Smith solicitors. This one from the Wilford Smith sit...


Woodstock Legal Services Ltd: So when we came across Woodstock Legal Services it was a pleasant surprise to discover their setup, staff, and backgrounds could match some of the larger brandings we work with (and many we don't). Having worked in the legal industry for over 20 years we're still sur...


Young & Co Solicitors: The majority are very positive. That's because practically every house purchase sale in England and Wales takes longer and is more complicated than the buyer seller wants. At the time we checked, they were clickable images rather than live counters - so were slightly off th...
