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: It either means business isn't going well and they're trying desperately to drum some up. Unfortunately when it comes to legal matters, people are not as motivated to leave reviews compared to their local Chinese Take-Away or the online Trampolines-R-Us type firms. B...


5 Essex Court Chambers & Partners: There is a also a full list of the barristers available along with their experience and expertise. Google currently lists them 4.6 5 stars, but there are only five ratings and no actual comments next to each. With barristers you'll also find they tend to specialise much...


Allsop Durn Dearlove: We would assume it means the firm actively takes feedback seriously and tries to keep an eye on it. Godfrey Newman qualified in 1979, David Durn in 1999, right up to Tracy Murgatroyd in 2014. Just as a side note, if you do ever see a negative rating for a firm online ...


Apprise Legal Services: One last snippet from the firm's site that seems to summarise: class="infoquote "Do you want to reduce the Inheritance Tax (I.H.T) paid upon your death? Do you want to prevent your spouse partner from having to sell their home after your death? Do you want to pro...

Aina Khan Solicitors: It can also really help with firms that make statements such as '20 years of experience within the firm'. But it could also mean five solicitors with just 4 years experience each. Be aware that www.ainakhanlaw.co.uk is currently not in use. On this occasion though, we're go...


Assured Probate Services: No hard-sell, very professional."< div> However, each of these testimonials is often not tagged regarding which advisor they are talking about. Typically they will state "ABC Wills is run by ABC Solicitors Ltd and regulated by the SRA No.000001" or something similar. ...


Autologistic Solutions Limited: It's not uncommon for even law firms to state they have a 150 year history simply because their firm bought over another firm where the founder had a grandfather that owned a dog that liked the owner of practice nearby. We fully expect to see this firm grow in the way it wan...


Avery & Walters Ltd: If you read through them rather than just skipping through star ratings, you get a much better feel for the company's strengths and weaknesses as common threads can repeat. For example, we're obviously praising Avery Walters as a good firm whilst their Google rating only s...


AWH Legal Ltd: class="infoquote "With a high level of expertise and legal know-how, we will guide you through the process you need from beginning to end."< div> Again this is something you can check on for most law firms if they are registered with The Law Society. But you'll ne...


Briffa Intellectual Property Solicitors: The Briffa Blog on the other hand is written by various members of staff who simply seem to want to comment, point out, or express their opinion about current intellectual property matters. We're always open about the fact that some of the firms we review might be current pa...


CFG Law: Just use the solicitor search box in the top right column of this page. He has extensive experience, built up over the past 20 years, of helping catastrophically injured clients and their families."< div> There are three lawyers in my family, and if you lined us all u...


CSL Law Croydon: There's not much they can do about that now. That brings us to navigation. This month, we noticed that when putting CSL Law into a search engine, Google brought back a mountain of irrelevant information . Certainly we get repeat visitors coming back to search for their...


DFA Law Solicitors: For larger life-changing matters, maybe not. Sometimes when researching a company online people tend to just look up some reviews on their favourite review site and then decide. and they were all much like these snippets above. We guarantee you there is no 200-year-old solic...


Driscoll Kingston Solicitors: That's it. There is still some confusion with 0845, 0300, 0333 and so on but we know of no network that charges for 0800 numbers any more. More than a dozen snippets packed with odd grammar, spelling mistakes, and a mix of quotes commentaries. Not just glancing at the sidel...


Hammond Trotter Solicitors Ltd: However this option is usually only made available if you respond quickly. The number of possible offences is always growing. As with everything else, you need to pay attention to the wording on the Hammond Trotter website: class="infoquote "87% of trials run by ...


Fieldfisher Solicitors LLP: It may therefore come as a surprise that we have added Fieldfisher Llp to that list considering they seem like a 'common' large law firm. 100% compensation guaranteed means there will be no fees if you WIN either. One thing that is definitely different with Fieldfi...


Frank Rogers Motoring Solicitor: It's something that gained prevalance after a number of celebrities (mostly premier league footballers) were breaking the law and getting away with it thanks to a lawyer nicknamed Mr Loophole by the press. At the moment it's https: www.theguardian.com money 2019 aug 24 the...


GloverPriest Solicitors Ltd: However we did spot: class="infoquote "We give you peace of mind through a free 30 minute consultation, ensuring that we meet your exact requirements. So make sure you've entered the name of the firm and it's office town when searching to make sure you're reading about...


HH Law Ltd: Plus we see some people calling them Hampson and Hughes too. As always, we advise giving more weight to reviewers who are marked as having reviewed several other firms as well. As you'll have seen on the Law Society page we linked to above, this firm also goes by HH Law...


Helix Law Solicitors: I spoke to Laura Albon who helped talk through my situation and offered some valuable thoughts."< div> There are various ways in which firms obtain testimonials. So yes, the fact Helix Law have taken the time to produce such pieces is a positive indication. I had an urg...


Hodge Jones and Allen Solicitors: This 'big-ness' doesn't just apply to their online presence or things that could be considered mere PR branding efforts. However it shouldn't be ignored as a result. On their website you'll find a full list of staff with photos, basic histories and specialitie...


Hutcheon Law Solicitors: It's unlikely to have any bearing on your individual injury and may mislead you into rejecting a perfectly good law firm simply because they estimated a far more reasonable number when asked. To us, and probably a lot of other people, that's something to boast about consider...


Ian Mallon Solicitors Ltd: Right now https: www.theguardian.com money 2020 feb 29 bank-scam-solicitors-email-hacked" people are losing millions of pounds to scammers< a> over property matters simply by not realising the email they received was from an incorrect address or the website they clicked o...


IWC Estate Planning & Management Ltd: So, do we have any negative points to raise? Well, they could use a really good search function for the help articles rather than just the drop down category menu. But we've written in several articles before about how meaningless the age of a firm's branding is anyway. ...


Jarmans Solicitors Sittingbourne: The first is that the website didn't display well on older machines we tested. (That's a generalised example, not specific to Jarmans.) We also personally put more faith in reviewers who have left dozens of reviews on many different firms versus usernames that have only...


Joanna Connolly Solicitor Advocates: No conflicts - which is nice. When you visit their website, you'll also notice a real focus on clear, flexible pricing structures. Joanna Connolly Solicitors is a sole practitioner law firm striving to provide a high level of service for consumer credit, contentious probate...


Kudos Legal Solicitors: There are also variants such as Kuddus Solicitors. If you visit https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk organisation people 592260 kudos-legal-limited?Solicitors=True" the page for this firm< a> you'll see the qualified solicitors of their Preston office listed including ever...


Lawcommercial Trading Ltd: So what are people saying on the independent review forums: class="infoquote "I have found their services extremely efficient and professional. At this point we would actually state that any firm that hasn't created such a facility for their clients is falling behind a...


Leech and Co Solicitors Ltd: He therefore turned down our offer to list him on our site and preferred to stick to advertising in his local newspaper. We also checked for SRA judgements, Legal Ombudsman complaints, and even recurring negative themes in the reviews. There were a few one star reviews on G...


Linkilaw Solicitors Ltd in London: We might even have to disagree with them on the strength of that assessment as we have seen some very positive moves by even the stuffiest of established firms in recent years. Chances are most review sites will do the same and just change some titles around. The flip s...


AJLO Solicitors: There are a few bits we want to highlight in case you missed them though: class="infoquote "We are proud to be members of Resolution ..." < div> Resolution is an organisation with thousands of legal professional members all dedicated to finding the best ways to ...


McEwan Fraser Legal Scotland: Firms that deal in divorce or bankruptcy tend not to have many public reviews about how things went. It's certainly something to bear in mind when checking out alternatives. Phone the official number in the headed paper you've already been sent out and ask about it. ...


MTA Solicitors LLP: We certainly don't operate a 'cram everyone in' type of directory. We take time to listen to you and provide honest transparent advice, always."< div> This opening line on the firm's website sounds good. Usually around 25%. Such calls are usually from individuals with n...


NV Legal Solicitors: The first simply means that if your case loses, there will be no fees. These do not mean the same thing. NV Legal are with The Law Society of England & Wales which actually has one of the best society websites we've seen . A very basic example, but hopefully illustrates th...

SR Law Solicitors London: The firm's official website that we've linked to above is www.sr-law.co.uk with www.sr-law.com being owned by a different company. the story is the same as you can see from the few snippets above. This idea that the firm isn't consumed by fees and time-monitoring is al...


OJ Solicitors Glasgow: class="infoquote "At OJ Solicitors, we are here to represent mainly, but not exclusively, clients presenting personal injury claims"< div> Because this is stated clearly right at the top of their front page, we would therefore be inclined to push them more for the...


Penn Chambers Ltd: That may sound odd, however solicitors and barristers are actually two quite different groups. class="infoquote "At Penn Chambers, we use Proteus 3 Case Management Software. However, if you see 'established in 1883' that doesn't mean there is an 150-year-old solicito...


Redwood Collections Ltd: The usual testimonials are pasted on the firm's site, however (as our poll last year informed us) people tend to ignore testimonals on company sites. Why it's taken so long for such firms to create apps and online admin areas to keep clients apprised of what's going on is an...


RSR Law Croydon: Variations on RSRLawLtd don't seem to exist as yet, but it seems as though the original firms that merged have simply closed their access rather than redirecting such as sapphireclaims.com There is also an entirely separate site at www.ContestaWill2Win.com owned and ope...


SBW Lawyers Ltd: As a very, very, very rough example: a good lawyer that takes 25% of a hard fought £5000 win is still a better option than a shoddy lawyer who takes 0% of a quick £2000 settlement. Whilst there shouldn't be such issues with the case range SBW Law handle, you should always...


Serious Injury Law Solicitors: If you've read any of our other law firm review articles, you'll know we typically have at least a few gripes about any firm. We work exclusively with clients who have serious and catastrophic injuries. A good mix of seasoned experience along with fresh minds and ideas...


Will Taborn Ltd: The price you might pay for a simple thing such as a business contract to be drawn up might be five times more with a large commercial law firm compared to a sole practitioner. class="infoquote "We assemble the most efficient legal team for your specific needs; by comb...


Johnsons Solicitors Nottingham: For many case types, solicitors may opt to or may have to select a barrister to do the representing. Immigration, insurance, police officer, court work, accident investigation, solicitor, etc. It's not uncommon for smaller firms to take all of your information, hire a third ...


Thorpe Wilson Ltd: The official website is www.thorpewilson.co.uk which we link to above. Many firms will actually charge fees if your case wins. A quick note about navigation. The thing to watch out for is firms stating a wide range of specialities across different areas of law su...


TSABI Ltd Solicitors: It avoids stagnation and (considering how stuffy law firms can be) having young blood on the team is often the only way forward. The branding has the longer name but you will find most things such as regulatory bodies mentioned above and review pages use the acronym version....
