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: The latter is typically a full team of various staff working together with receptionists, PAs, HR department, meeting rooms, and waiting rooms with plants, magazines, and the obligatory fish tank. A chambers is more like an introduction umbrella between clients and possible ...


A City Law Firm: 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. class="infoquote "We can be flexible with our fee structure and will consider different models for different clients."< div> T...


Beers Solicitors LLP: Make sure you know what site you're on and never discuss payments via email . . So how do Beers' solicitors fair in the public forums? class="infoquote "the whole team have been lovely and very helpful throughout our house purchase" "Efficient, straightforward a...


Bellax Solicitors: For all we know the poor rating is for something ridiculous or not even for the correct firm. Funny article titles aside, they cover real issues. The problem though, is that not all firms are talking about the same thing. If you check out the page for this firm you'll ...


Bridge McFarland Solicitors: Not least so because it means they are registered with The Law Society of England & Wales which we have long praised as an excellent user resource for background checking law practices. If you've already been through a dozen law firm websites today looking for a good matc...


Brown & Co Solicitors: 'brown and co solicitors london' . class="infoquote "Our solicitors have the experience to go beyond simply answering your legal questions"< div> It currently shows that Brown & Co solicitors have staff qualified across the past three decades including David Dun...


Buchanan & Co Solicitors Ltd: Especially when it comes to legal practices that deal with property matters such as buying selling a house. Be careful though as some firms use sneaky marketing jargon to make you think they have far more experience than they do. The page for Buchanan & Co Solicitors ...


Burton & Co Quality Solicitors: But rather than simply place an extra logo on each law firm's website - they all put the words quality solicitors in front of their name. So why is that? On their own website of course there is the standard testimonials. There are negative reviews from people who were to...


Calio Claims by Lindsays: But on the Law Society of Scotland's website the https: www.lawscot.org.uk find-a-solicitor ?Name=lindsays&Postcode=&type=firm" search function is very limited< a> and doesn't always match well. class="infoquote "Calio Claims has helped thousands of people recover...


Cook's Solicitors: Whilst many firms provide testimonials on their websites, these are not normally given much attention. Regular variants such as www.cookssolicitors.co.uk or www.cooks-solicitors.com are not owned by the firm which is important to note because of the amount of fraud current...


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. The main take away is to never flick through star ratings when it comes to law firms. Names, years of experience, any additi...


David Stinson & Co Solicitors: It should be pointed out though that a good solicitor taking 25% of your £5000 settlement is still a better option than a less aggressive solicitor that takes a 0% cut of a £1500 settlement. Some firms provide testimonials on their website which are comments they...


Disrepair Claims UK: To sum up, working with a CMC is an aberration for us but we wouldn't do it unless we thought it would help people. Most of the time unregulated claims resellers hide out on social media sites like Facebook. Or better still, post underneath their ad post asking f...


EDC Lord Solicitors: The website offers a comprehensive overview of the legal services the firm provides, including commercial law, employment law, family law, litigation, and more. Therefore, it is extremely important to us that we provide an excellent service."< div> One of the standout ...


Foster & Coleman Solicitors: The majority of scams the past several years have all focused on https: www.theguardian.com money 2019 aug 24 the-45000-deposit-for-our-first-home-was-stolen-and-the-banks-did-nothing" residential property matters< a>. People have no problem jumping online to type their t...


Frazer Coogans Solicitors: Frazer Coogans Ltd is also registered to which again may sound like something most solicitors do, but they really don't. For Personal Injury matters you should never hav...


Goldsmith Bowers Solicitors Ltd: Over the past two decades people have https: www.express.co.uk life-style property 1511097 property-warning-home-buyers-scam-conveyancing-fraud" handed millions over to fraudsters< a>. For example, this snippet from their website: class="infoquote "Specialist debt ...


Guardian Law Ltd: class="infoquote "We have been around since 2006 but recently rebranded from Your HR Lawyer to Guardian Law"< div> A quick note on navigation as branding changes such as this aren't the only thing to pay attention to when clicking back and forth to firms online....

Backhouse Solicitors Ltd: So the fact Backhouse have only mentioned this statement tucked away on a separate section of the site is something we literally nod our heads in approval at. We always explain and backup anything we cover in this series of articles which is aimed at helping people find the...


Hill House Chambers Barristers: provide you with expert legal advice ... class="infoquote "Barristers Mohsin Aslam was very professional too when he articulated case" "Spencer's friendly demeanour and flexibility ensures the right barrister is offered even at short notice" "Spencer Payne was ve...


JPS Walker Solicitors: But if every firm is claiming such, then it's not much use to potential clients as a distinguishing feature. It's a distinction we feel people should certainly be aware of in order to compare firms more effectively. The difference is that a solicitor may take a cut of ...


Lefevres Scotland Ltd: There are lots of other little bits and pieces around the web that most regular consumers may not notice. So how does this law office fare on the third party forums? The most common ones people visit are https: www.google.com search?q=lefevres+edinburgh&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB...


LS Legal Solicitors: They even have https: www.youtube.com @lslegalsolicitors6960" multiple vidoes< a> dedicated to the subject on Youtube. class="infoquote "we cooperate with our trusted partners who can assist with accountancy, investment management, legal funding, franchise and othe...


Mac Jones Solicitors: But also maybe some they don't, yet should. A team of seasoned heads but with fresh legs is surely the best grouping you could hope for in an industry that is also struggling to balance between the old and new. That's because there isn't much else for them to say. Just ent...


MJV Law Solicitors: Alan Vincent shows a qualification date in 1978 with the son, Michael Vincent, qualifying in 2011. That's well over 50 years between just the two of them. As Natalie isn't mentioned on the law practice's site or on the Law Society website at the time of writing this, we hope...


Fentimans My Law Matters: We've even seen a divorce client leave a one star rating on a criminal law firm for not handling divorces. However there were some negative comments that really need to be read. We've been writing law articles for over twenty years now and have therefore worked alongsi...


Nicholson Jones Sutton Solicitors Ltd: So when we write something positive, we're just being positive. So how can you tell whether one firm is better for your needs compared to any others? The wording may often sound great on all the sites. Take this one also from the NJS site: class="infoquote "With com...


One Law Solicitors & Barristers: Right now the largest scam by far plaguing the legal industry is house deposit fraud. Despite the two words being generic terms (i.e. Their main branding is the OneLaw Chambers name but some review sites and official pages list them as OneLaw Ltd. Something to keep i...


LRose Law Ltd: Property matters). Sadly Google was showing adverts at the top for some of our searches so watch out for that. Employment Law ... The only difference will be on whether they charge you for running the case or provide something such as a no win, no fee agreement. In this exam...


RM Solicitors: In the same way that a Family Law specialist will handle divorce, child custody, and more; most cases involving claims against a third party for compensation (i.e. Today's piece will be no exception and reading through the information for Reynolds Macdonald Solicitors ...


Simper Law: At Simper Law they have legal professionals from each of the last three decades available. For many years now https: www.lawgazette.co.uk news conveyancing-fraud-gang-jailed-for-diverting-deposit-monies 5103305.article" scammers have targeted such clients with emails< a> ...


Smith & Graham Solicitors: The number of large multi-office firms only seems to increase due to some smaller businesses merging to survive the difficult years we've had. We've seen companies claim 150-year origins simply for moving into the old premises of a much older firm. Since Covid hit we've seen...


Stowe Family Law Solicitors: The second impressive thing we'd point out is the firm's opening hours. But you've probably come across a dozen law firms that claim to be the 'best', 'specialist' or 'largest in' such-and-such on their website as well. It is important you are comfortable with your sol...


Summerfield Browne: For some, the fact they use email sometimes is the pinnacle of their 'modern' achievements. The firm states offices in London, Birmingham, Cambridge, Oxford, Market Harborough, and Leicester. Most of the variants we tried brought up the correct site in the top search results...


Swain and Co Solicitors: The above are snippets from the firm's own testimonial page. A quick note on navigation considering the varied brand names. I approached them full of cynicism after years of let downs by other lawyers. For a start there are hardly any law firms left willing to work...


Thaxted Legal Immigration: But if you see a firm of 1 or 2 solicitors stating they handle every case type you can think of from Personal Injury to Family Law, Criminal Law and Immigration as well - chances are they are probably not able to keep themselves as well informed or up to date as a specialis...


The Lady Barrister: However for barristers there simply isn't as much publicly available information. So if you've spent the last few hours reading endless sales-pitch paragraphs on solicitor websites - this might be a welcome break: class="infoquote "... There are already hundreds of we...


The Legal Practice Solicitors: class="infoquote "We work closely with other professionals such as surveyors, accountants and tax specialists to achieve the best possible solutions for our clients in a cost effective manner."< div> One final pointer that most general consumers may not know abo...


The Law Partnership Ltd: In this article we're going to share a few tips on how we check up on firms we're thinking of adding. Unfortunately there are more than a dozen ways to be a specialist or non-specialist firm. That's alot more impressive than you might think. Then there are fi...

Wilford Smith: So what can you do? class="infoquote "We have been successfully representing businesses & individuals for over four decades."< div> Normally on a firm's site you'll see a statement such as this. This is very different from firms that claim ancient herit...


Ullah Law Associates: If you've read any of our other articles you'll have noticed that we often have to report on various issues or things to watch out for when researching or using any particular law firm. Make sure you keep aware of the site you're on and never discuss payment details in emai...


WH Law Ltd: The number of reviews that are for the completely wrong firm (which we'll cover in an moment) are just ridiculous. Whilst many provide testimonials on their website, our poll a few years back indicated that only 9% of you trusted company-provided reviews. It's not enough to ...


Wildcat Law Solicitors: The most important part in our opinion though is the qualification dates of solicitors within the firm. Alot of firms might state they are 'award winning' without ever actually letting you know whether that award was for best logo design or something actually useful for pr...


Woodstock Legal Services Ltd: This is important to note because this firm handles conveyancing which has been the subject of https: www.thetimes.co.uk static connected-families conveyancing-email-scam-hackers-steal-house-deposit " huge amounts of scams< a> in recent years. class="infoquote...


Young & Co Solicitors: That's been a huge change in the industry that most firms haven embraced, and we encourage every law firm to provide such to this new Instagram Facebook-loving generation.
