Here are some more of the helpful information articles our staff have put together and published on our main 1to1Legal UK website:My 33 Legal Limited: 33 Legal's profiles on the other hand share on-topic matters, at a decent frequency, with rarely a self-promoting post in sight. The one we link to above is www.33legal.uk but if you use a search engine to find the firm you'll probably see www.my33legal.com appear at the top...
5 Essex Court Chambers & Partners: Clearly 5 Essex Court are highly regarded by other professionals , but there are far fewer comments on the web by people who have actually used a barrister at this firm. Hopefully as more and more people get wind of the option, we'll start seeing more publicly available fee...
Aina Khan Solicitors: My first lawyer said he was beyond reach of the English court as all our assets were abroad. class="infoquote "It is amazing that you were able to advise on my complex Surrogacy case while I was working abroad" "My husband thought he could dismiss me with nothing ...
Allsop Durn Dearlove: We're sad to say that our own native (Scottish) Law Society could learn a thing or two from the English Welsh setup. So does that make us bias enough to throw away 20+ years of impartial article writing? Well, if we've seen fit to add a firm to our network in the first place...
Apprise Legal Services: If you've already read a few of these review articles on our site, you'll know that we always try our best to find more varied types of firms to recommend rather than simply stuffing our directory with hundreds of firms (where the only difference between them seems to be the...
Assured Probate Services: But will writing is actually a far less regulated industry than you might think . At the moment both www.apslegal.com and www.apslegal.co.uk don't seem to be owned by the firm. We could email you from an @amazon.co.uk address right now saying your payments have failed....
Autologistic Solutions Limited: Because of the service provided, phishing and other scams are unlikely to be a huge issue. Even if you're at a stage in your claim where only the injuries are left to sort, I'm sure the staff would love to chat with you about the future. Diminution< u> - typically in ...
Avery & Walters Ltd: In our experience, newer solicitors tend to be quite eager to prove themselves and go above and beyond. If you check the site for England & Wales you can look up the expertise and experience (or at least the qualification dates) of each solicitor within the practice you're i...
AWH Legal Ltd: These are old names or names of firms they have merged with so should really no longer apply. www.awhsolicitors.com does not redirect to it though and www.awhlegal.co.uk is just an information site about the company background. Of course, most people won't have any idea whet...
Briffa Intellectual Property Solicitors: We love case studies in the same way teenagers love YouTube. But the firm's enthusiasm unashamedly spills out of their website anyway. But as it's likely you'll be dealing with payments and sensitive documents - it might be an idea to bookmark the site to ensure you always ...
CFG Law: Again, bias may come into play but I've been injured twice by negligence in the NHS and once had to grab the hand of a doctor who was about to use a dirty used needle on my daughter that he'd picked up by mistake. The type of cases they handle can be seen a bit more cl...
CSL Law Croydon: But apparently not to read or write reviews. lacking an online presence. Other public pages such as their Twitter feed are kept fresh with a good mix of self promotion, retweets, and links to relevant articles. From a statistical and sociological standpoint - that's a posi...
DFA Law Solicitors: The www.dfalaw.com site is for a completely different law firm and several other possible variants people might accidentally try like www.dfasolicitors.co.uk were not owned by anyone. (Despite some that may look it.) The main thing to watch out for is if a law firm use ...
Ian Mallon Solicitors Ltd: When checking out review boards though, we always suggest you read comments rather than just look at star ratings. You can https: www.lawsoc-ni.org ian-mallon-solicitors-ltd510" view their page on the NI organisation's website here< a> but we've found that the English We...
Driscoll Kingston Solicitors: Be careful on other firm's sites where you'll see an * or words like 'joint' or 'combined' buried later on in the sentence. I would like to thank you all for the good service."
"Every question I asked was answered to my satisfaction, I cannot see any improvement needed."

Hammond Trotter Solicitors Ltd: The more you know the easier it will be to understand your options and choose the right person to help you. In all honestly, I don't think there is another firm anywhere on our network with this many reviews listed on third party forums. This is often a one-day event listen...
Frank Rogers Motoring Solicitor: He was fair and to the point"< div>
Thankfully the comments are mostly informative with helpful details about what they liked about the service and the outcome. One for Scotland, one for England Wales, and one for Northern Ireland as each has quite separate legal set...
GloverPriest Solicitors Ltd: These should consist of at least the professional's name, expertise and experience. on the ball the entire time, no stone left unturned. We offer you face-to-face appointments and also remote dealings with our superb staff." < div>
Which is clearly good to know. No, we'...
HH Law Ltd: (Pause to raise an eyebrow.) We didn't see any of such fishy goings-on for Hampson Hughes though. Whilst a solicitor may have several cases keeping his attention, the client is only focused on one and thinking about it far more regularly. For example, if they have obtained ...
Helix Law Solicitors: The majority of Helix Law's positive reviews are from people that have reviewed a wide range of firms indicating they are most likely genuine. So yes, the fact Helix Law have taken the time to produce such pieces is a positive indication. I couldn't recommend more highly."...
Hodge Jones and Allen Solicitors: I don't think anyone can argue that!
There also seems to be an active interest in law generally and in helping people. The clientele and Legal Aid dependancy would shape any firm in a certain direction. It also mentions the little fact that Cherie Blair opened their ne...
IWC Estate Planning & Management Ltd: If you've gone to a solicitor there's a good chance you're already having a big problem and are already very aggravated. But hopefully this will all settle down into one recognisable and constant name soon.
We didn't check mis-spellings or other hyphenated versions of ...
Jarmans Solicitors Sittingbourne: But yes, overall the positive feedback about Jarmans lawyers continues on third party sites leading on from their own testimonials:
class="infoquote • "Xanthe Harris was exceptional. But outside of that, they do the traditional 9am-5pm solicitors hours with c...
Joanna Connolly Solicitor Advocates: Whilst they don't say much about free initial consultations, the website does mention the Conditional Fee Arrangements (CFA's) I talked about before, but - again unusually - they also offer a Pay As You Go service. I recommend a phone call to confirm the ins and outs of that...
Stephen McCaffery & Catherine Stock: But they can also get involved in Coroner's Inquests helping either the bereaved family or the professionals involved in the investigation. There are other websites such as www.stephenmccaffreybarrister.com out there with information about the firm and staff, but I would ima...
Kudos Legal Solicitors: Because we don't take commissions for referring you, we have no bias as to which firm you select. At 1to1Legal we do our best to provide a good mix of firms for people to choose from when seeking a law firm. So how can you check the background of any firm to see how thei...
Lawcommercial Trading Ltd: Far too often we see companies - not just law firms - fill up their blog section with the most thin articles you'll ever see that are mainly just more sales pitches about how great their firm is. It's simply that such a large amount of what we found related to their property...
Leech and Co Solicitors Ltd:
Certainly as you can't have a web address containing an ampersand (&), any "& Co" firm will need to use the expanded 'leechandco' style. Some refuse to even have a website. Google's lazy approach to spelling is also a problem because it could hinder you finding revie...
Linkilaw Solicitors Ltd in London: On this occasion the alternate www.linkilaw.co.uk does not link to the main site. They provide full pages on the firms and all the staff. Even then their focus was still business clients.
Even though Linkilaw's new branding isn't a huge departure from the last, it does...
AJLO Solicitors: Of the few hundreds public reviews available online for this firm, most are positive:
class="infoquote "I was kept informed throughout the whole process and picked up my keys yesterday. We're not fans of companies that fill their profiles with everyone's favourite food...
MTA Solicitors LLP: Clarity, communication, and results. They can use spoofed or similar looking domain names in their website and email addresses. Therefore if you flick through the comments section of a third party review forum , it's probably a good idea to ignore any negative rating that r...
NV Legal Solicitors: A very basic example, but hopefully illustrates that whether a firm offers 100% compensation or not should not be a dealbreaker. Whilst it can be common for senior solicitors to have their more junior staff do large chunks of the grunt work - that is something you probably w...
OJ Solicitors Glasgow: However, they will usually get you more compensation to begin with. If you've used our site before to find legal help, then you'll already be aware that we do not cram every single law firm we can find into our lists.
Another place people tell us they research firms wit...
Penn Chambers Ltd: The software and systems are all easily available these days and the concept is a good one for the modern digitally-addicted consumer.
At the moment it is mostly property law firms and their clients https: www.clc-uk.org watch-out-for-conveyancing-fraud " that are be...
Redwood Collections Ltd: Some are only set up to send threatening letters. Redwood Collections is a debt collection firm based in Croydon. I was very pleased with the outcome ..."< div>
Oddly the vast majority of the reviews are positive on Google, Yelp, Yellow Pages and others. Great communica...
RSR Law Croydon: We would still recommend bookmarking the official site above once on it just to be sure.
Any other downsides? Yes. Then in the next it was "First Aid. Variations on RSRLawLtd don't seem to exist as yet, but it seems as though the original firms that merged have simply c...
SBW Lawyers Ltd: all on a 'No Win No Fee' basis."< div>
This last section of the sentence also brings up some points that should be mentioned. Typically people tend to check out only the public reviews of service providers when researching them. Having a business person running the firm...
Serious Injury Law Solicitors: So we know to take un-explained negative ratings with a pinch of salt. Plus one of the main measuring bars of the legal industry (The Legal 500) " praises them highly< a> too. A good mix of seasoned experience along with fresh minds and ideas.
class="infoquote "We a...
SR Law Solicitors London: Whilst many firms will use the Blog News Article section to just write extra sales pitches thinly disguised as help - Simons Rodkin have put together some really in-depth help pieces that can give you a decent head start in understanding your case and what's needed. How do y...
Will Taborn Ltd: No matter how hard a firm tries, that's just how things come out. In our opinion it's a unique service that someone has thought out and taken time to put together in order to help business owners get the right type of help and avoid overpaying. On top of that, the cheaper ...
Hutcheon Law Solicitors: From the Hutcheons Law site:

Johnsons Solicitors Nottingham: If you skim through our other articles, you'll see lots of varied information from varied sources expressed in varied ways about each firm. Typically when we research a firm for one of these articles, there is a wealth of information out there. Again, when trying to search f...
Thorpe Wilson Ltd: So how can you tell which might be more likely to deliver on those promises? One good resource is your area's Law Society website. No matter what firm you're researching though, we always recommend reading comments rather than relying on general star ratings. There are als...
TSABI Ltd Solicitors: TSABI Ltd aka The Solicitors Advocates & Barristers Inc first caught our eye as being a larger firm that still handled Legal Aid cases. So that's noteable to us.
