www.educationlawservice.com: It's just that people are much more likely to jump online to rant or rave about their new toaster than they are about such personal matters. It was harder to find reviews at all on their company due to the branding (which we'll discuss later).
A quick note on navigatio...
www.theinjurysolicitor.com: The branding is not nearly as important as the actual solicitor assigned to your case. Whilst it's not mandatory for a law firm or lawyer to register with their local Law Society.

www.oj-solicitors.co.uk: Right now the main target for scammers are property law firms because of the huge amounts of money they can try and trick people into putting in the wrong place. Again, it's a shame that The Scottish Law Society does not help with better information in this area. For example...

Sadly, we've seen reviews where they person gave a 1 star out of...
www.frankrogerslaw.co.uk: For example, 5 solicitors x 4 years experience each = 20 years' experience. So that's good. That's unusual for a law firm though, as many people tend to shy away from relating their personal legal struggles (and crimes!) on a public forum. Make sure to find out first if you ...

www.london-law.co.uk: However one thing they do (which we don't) that could be very helpful - is allow clients to leave reviews on each firm. Alexander JLO Solicitors is obviously a very popular firm amongst a huge population with plenty of other options to choose from.

The firm isn't lacking in experience it seems with a mix of seasoned professionals such as Katherine Wyatt who qualified in 1998. You can usually look up det...
www.levinslaw.co.uk: So Levins' founding date of 1986 (whilst sounding relatively young for a legal practice) absolutely does not mean they have 100 years less experience than the next firm who claim a start date back in 1886.

www.masonbullock.co.uk: The most obvious mistake people might make because it's a law firm is to try searching for 'Mason & Bullock' instead. Mason Bullock don't have a company-made testimonial section on their site either. If you ever want to look up the specialties or qualification dates of the s...
www.dfalaw.co.uk: But what about the client reviews we mentioned at the start? Certainly the firm has glowing testimonials on their website:

www.iwcprobateservices.co.uk: These are people with no legal qualifications that discuss your case in depth with you and take all the details.

www.richmondlegalltd.co.uk: So a public display (it's actually capitalised on the Richmond Legal website but we shrunk it to avoid distraction) of a number clearly meant as a potential 24 7 means of contact is rarer than you might think. Sadly the tradition of 9am-5pm Mon-Fri working hours for solici...
www.bilkusandboyle.com: The forty years Bilkus Boyle quote is therefore very reasonable and an understandable sort of figure.
