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: Two Harcourt Building's official website is the helpfully short www.2hb.co.uk but www.2hb.com is not owned by them and there are several variants such as www.harcourtchambers.co.uk as well. Hopefully that will change soon but the ruling body (The Bar Standards Board) are n...


A City Law Firm: Don't make assumptions because for all you know it may be an award for best logo design and nothing to do with their actual law experience. That might sound an obvious thing to have but there are dozens of law firms that still have not moved to https on their website's yet. ...


Backhouse Solicitors Ltd: People have handed over tens of thousands in home deposits to fraudulent bank accounts sometimes based on nothing more than an official-looking email stating the payment details have changed. So the fact Backhouse have only mentioned this statement tucked away on a separate ...

WH Law Ltd: The main thing to remember is that a lack of reviews is not a negative sign. It's a far better provided resource than its counterparts in other parts of the UK, unfortunately. Also whilst the branding and page content focuses on the name 'WH Solicitors' the Law Societ...


Beers Solicitors LLP: If you've read through any of our other law firm cover articles, you'll hopefully know that we do our best to write unbiased information. The branding is always Beers LLP but searches such as 'beers solicitors' or 'beer llp' still brought the correct firm to the top of the...


Bellax Solicitors: It can even look as though they got all their website images from the same stock photo pile. Sometimes the law office provides testimonials on their website. The majority of people want to check out public review boards such as https: www.google.com search?q=bell+lax+solic...


Branch Austin McCormick Solicitors: However according to our poll last year, only 8% of you trust the testimonials that companies display anyway. But we've seen several people complain about a solicitor for not handling their particular type of case. class="infoquote "We offer a full service, including c...


Bridge McFarland Solicitors: They state alternative company names, all office addresses, specialist case types, and most importantly - qualification dates of each solicitor within the firm. class="infoquote "The firm now has offices in Grimsby, Hull, Lincoln, Louth, and Market Rasen and is consi...


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. Here are some of the resources we use that you might not have known about or things to watch for yo...


Buchanan & Co Solicitors Ltd: The goal is to help people find the best solution for their particular case whether general practice solicitor, direct access barrister, specialist firm, or alternatives such as mediation or accountants. So certainly their claims of decades of experience are well b...


Burton & Co Quality Solicitors: We've always said that you can end up with a 1-year-experienced lawyer from a 200-year-old firm the same as you can get a forty-year-experience expert from a 1-year-old firm. So Yates and Co became QualitySolicitors Yates and Co. (Obviously, otherwise we wouldn't have ...


Cheshire Estates and Legal Ltd: For example one claiming CEL lawyers demanded £2500 from him to provide 'detective services'. The C-E-L part stands for Cheshire Estates and Legal Limited if you see any reviews about that firm, company data,

Cook's Solicitors: 99.9999% of people involved in a property sale (obviously exaggerating for effect but essentially a truth) feel it should have gone faster and been easier. So the fact Cooks Solicitors have kept the same branding even though it's part of a much larger nationwide organisati...


David Stinson & Co Solicitors: For more difficult cases such as medical negligence against the NHS, most lawyers will ask for a conditional fee arrangement. class="infoquote "David Stinson & Co is a trading name of Young and Co Solicitors Ltd"< div> A quick note on navigation for this bra...


Disrepair Claims UK: That means they do not have solicitors on staff but will take your details, discuss your case, then find a solicitor from their own panel of firms to process the matter on your behalf. The main aim (we would hope) of housing claims is to get your living conditions improved...


Frazer Coogans Solicitors: A quick note on navigation. Since the 90s the government has been stripping Legal Aid massively so that these days very few people qualify for help and the lawyers working under legal aid are paid a fraction of what they would normally charge for their services. ...


Fultons Estate Agents: class="infoquote "Many of our clients choose Fulton's because they have used us before, or because a family member or friend has recommended us."< div> This subsequent claim from the firm's website is also a type you will see on practically every other solicitor'...


Goldsmith Bowers Solicitors Ltd: The opportunity for depth of experience is also with the former. You could end up with a 1-year qualified newbie lawyer from a 200-year old firm, or a 40-year veteran from a 1-year old newly set up practice. There are still plenty of law firms charging people money before ge...


Guardian Law Ltd: Especially those with multiple offices. This brings up an extra point about reviews - i.e. They provide a wide range of data on each law firm and legal professional registered with them including all business aliases, alternate contact details, speciality case types, and qua...


Hill House Chambers Barristers: So always call the official phone number you have to check with the firm about such emails you've received. So the fact this company receives praise from both direct public clients as well as other law firms that have used them to handle their own cases - is certainly nota...


Hooper Hyde Solicitors: Why is that important? class="infoquote "Lawyers with over 10 years' experience in their field of expertise. People are absolutely happy jumping online after a good or bad meal to review the restaurant they've just been to. If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk ...


JPS Walker Solicitors: www.jpslaw.co.uk which is a completely different firm). But when it comes to reviews people tend to prefer the public comment forums such as Google, Facebook, Trustpilot, Yelp, etc. A quick note on navigation. It's really very common. Doing that should always help crea...


KRS Wills & Probate: I aim to offer home visits, and, where possible, evening and weekend appointments."< div> You would think in this day and age that legal services would have moved on from the 9-5, Mon-Fri rigid opening hours that dominated the legal industry for centuries. These o...


Lefevres Scotland Ltd: One thing that can get confusing though is when a firm is labelled as a 'specialist' but seems to state a simply huge range of cases that they cover. Since the 90's the government has made an increasing effort to strip Legal Aid funding and eligibility as much as pos...


Mac Jones Solicitors: There are a considerable number of reviews for each office on Google and dozens of others across the other independent boards. The full www.mackenziejones.co.uk and .com are both for a recruitment firm so no mixups expected there. in public as they are about the local pizz...


Michael Leighton Jones Solicitors: But to be honest, it's not as if any law firm is ever going to claim being the opposite (i.e. Alot of problems such as ' https: www.actionfraud.police.uk a-z-of-fraud phishing" phishing< a>' can happen if you type the wrong domain name into a web browser. Some even use ide...


Milners Law LLP: Multiple offices, a wide case range, and various solicitors working on their own specialist case subjects. It's something certainly Personal Injury law firm will offer because the majority run cases on no win, no fee anyway. An enviable position for any firm to be in which ...


MJV Law Solicitors: Sometimes due to just one official-looking email convincing the property buyer that they need to suddenly change the bank account they pay their deposit in to. We've seen solicitor's praised for the great pizza and a criminal law firm criticised for not handling divorces. Ne...


Fentimans My Law Matters: Bad firms will tend to just close down and start up a brand new operation to make sure they get completely away from the negative press. Sadly thousands of people https: www.express.co.uk finance personalfinance 1497866 Lloyds-bank-scam-warning-fraud-money-box-uk" have ha...


One Law Solicitors & Barristers: A solicitor that helps you with your immigration application may still have to hire a barrister when it comes to fighting the matter further. We ran a poll last year, though, which came back that only 8% of people trusted company-provided testimonials. It's not common knowle...


LRose Law Ltd: Most people that end up on our site have usually already scrolled through a dozen or so law firm sites before getting here. The official site we link to above is www.rf-law.co.uk and the old address of www.lrose-law.com redirects there. class="infoquote "Rose Fendlen...


RM Solicitors: Today's piece will be no exception and reading through the information for Reynolds Macdonald Solicitors provides ample opportunity to discuss common threads. A 200-year-old firm might still stick you with a 1-year qualified lawyer. If you https: solicitors.lawsocie...


Simper Law: Tech companies, restaurants, social media providers, and so on are always on the look out for the next new thing. But if you want to find out how many years your actual solicitor has behind them, the best resource is their local law society. For many years now https: www.l...


Stowe Family Law Solicitors: Whilst there will be some variations, most of the Stowe solicitor office locations we checked were open until 7pm each day and open on weekends as well. The reviews are mainly positive from what we saw with several comments about fair pricing and time effort put in. It exp...


Summerfield Browne: This has the obviously knock on effect: class="infoquote "... The law advice you get needs to be spot on as well. class="infoquote "We are a modern and progressive law firm, and operate a new legal services business model"< div> Unfortunately this stateme...


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). Then the article before that one was on a huge network of firms that still retained independence but all were placing a ma...


Taylor Price Legal Ltd: But there are still plenty of lawyers charging fees right from the start for other case types. . But whilst their business image and reputation amongst peers seems solid - what are the previous clients saying? class="infoquote "dedicated quality time and worked overti...


Thaxted Legal Immigration: So make sure to always read through ratings rather than just glancing at average stars. class="infoquote "Immigration is our business but we strive to provide our services with integrity and care, and we build our professional relationships with clients and business p...

Smith & Graham Solicitors: We've seen law firms with 5 star reviews for their food and 1 star reviews for the bad haircut they got. The official site is www.smithandgraham.co.uk and currently www.smithandgraham.com doesn't not redirect there. class="infoquote "always available when we had ques...


The Lady Barrister: So at the moment even something specific such as "stephanie heijdra barrister london" brings up no local information let alone public reviews. Even reviews are hard to come by which we'll cover in a moment. That's because reviews left underneath the chamber's name will be ab...


The Legal Practice Solicitors: We therefore highly recommend that you bookmark the correct site if you plan on coming back. That's actually a much bigger deal than you might think. That's an understandable position considering company testimonials tend to be all positive and not always including the in...


Trojan Solicitors: Rameez is listed as focusing on Civil Litigation and Family Law. This firm does list customer testimonials on their website: class="infoquote "first class service, excellent interpersonal skills, highly analytical" "They always advised me of the perfect route" ...


Ullah Law Associates: We've seen a sad trend for solicitors to start listing their favourite foods and pet's names in their profiles. Ever since the '90s the government has been stripping away what Legal Aid covers and the amount a solicitor can earn under it's scheme. all came up with the same s...


Woodstock Legal Services Ltd: The current official website is www.woodstocklegalservices.co.uk but www.woodstocklegalservices.com does not currently redirect. Having worked in the legal industry for over 20 years we're still surprised to come across some firms that we'd not heard of before. class...


Young & Co Solicitors: At the bottom of some of the pages on the Youngs website they link to their independent review boards on Google and Trustpilot. This is something we've covered before in our articles and is one of the main reasons we urge people to read through the actual comments rath...
