Please check out the new US Law Firm Reviews section on our sister site.
www.sr-law.co.uk: You'll see on the Law Society's staff page about them that they have a huge range of experience levels. General practice solicitors, niche local firms, nationwide multi-office firms, direct access barristers, and specialists only handling a single case type. We also saw th...
www.apprisels.co.uk: That way you are more likely to find something that appeals to your specific needs and budget. 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 ...
www.aconveyancing.com: Why do property firms have so much more negative public images than other types of legal service provider? Mostly because people don't particularly feel comfortable sharing their divorce or bankruptcy case progression. The idea of course being that people will assume a ...
www.seriousinjurylaw.co.uk: The official website we link to above is www.seriousinjurylaw.co.uk with the www.seriouslaw.co.uk version redirecting you there as well. This is the same advice we've always given for people with Medical Negligence cases as well . It may therefore be a good idea to bookm...
www.howe.co.uk: Luckily there are many resources available on the web for some independent backchecks and information. The majority of lawyers and law firms in the UK are registered with a local Law Society either at the national, county, or sometimes town level. It can be quite dif...
www.nvlegal.co.uk: Please note though, that a firm which takes 25% of your compensation if you win does not always mean you will end up with less. As the branding efforts by the firm are clear and consistent , there shouldn't be many obvious alternatives or common errors cropping up such...
www.london-law.co.uk: But considering they deal with property matters, we again would recommend bookmarking . But here's an example of one negative review: class="infoquote "This firm handled the conveyancing for the buyer of my flat in Central London. But a free initial consultation is a...
www.awhsolicitors.co.uk: Again though, this will not count for many case types such as injuries and medical negligence which you won't have to pay anything up front at all. There are the usual customer testimonials around the site, but as we already know from last year's poll - people have an i...
www.searchbureau.co.uk: But it's surely a fair one. It probably doesn't occur to employees of a firm to jump on the web to write a review about a service their company uses. Whilst most general consumers will use a service and then happily go online to inform others about their positive or negative...
www.mgbelegal.com: There are actual standards set that have to be achieved . Most mentioned the depth of knowledge. If someone is not quite experienced enough for your personal injury claim, you might be a few hundred pounds less-better-off in your compensation settlement. Someone who knows ...

www.aspirelicensing.co.uk: There are certainly more quality, cost-effective, and quicker solutions to legal problems these days. For example a Level 2 Award in Food Safety in Catering, Level 2 Award in Health and Safety in the Workplace, Level 3 Emergency First Aid at Work, and so on. But this s...
www.mtapersonalinjury.com: Also, they may be registered with a far more local niche Law Society rather than one of the larger organisations. For some reason, the MTA Solicitor's website does not boast it's No Win, No Fee offer as much as most other Personal Injury firms. kept me informed regular...
www.dfalaw.co.uk: Sometimes when researching a company online people tend to just look up some reviews on their favourite review site and then decide. The site will also provide you with individual details of various staff members. DFA Law on the other hand has both a long establishment...
www.iwcprobateservices.co.uk: The blog section seems to be regularly updated as well. class="infoquote "We provide a fixed fee service for Probate Administration and Wills, our fees will be agreed with you in advance"< div> Thankfully whilst this is a good thing to see - it's not a unique off...

www.averywalters.com: Most solicitors in the UK are registered with them in their respective areas. We're quite picky and maybe take on one or two of them. For example, Amanda Cuthbert qualified in 1993, David Cartwright in 2001, right up to Laura Stafford in 2017. (The latter being the actual re...
www.bilkusandboyle.com: But the client will generally blame their own solicitor. The number of scams relating to conveyancing and property in general have been increasing for years. So where else can you search? class="infoquote "... So when we say B&B have a very positive rating, that's act...
www.kudoslegal.co.uk: does a amazing job and keeps you up to date"< div> On the whole very positive. There are also several firms in the UK using the name 'Kudos' including Kudos Legal Services and Kudos Law Ltd which are both different organisations. For some reason, people really do fee...
www.theinjurysolicitor.com: These days solicitors move around law practices and even start up their own much more than just a few decades ago. The Law Society of England & Wales have the most informative and useful user-side display we've seen though. It's probably a good idea to bookmark ...
www.catteralls.co.uk: No seriously. Potential clients tend to rely more on the independent public offerings such as Google Reviews, Trustpilot, Yell, Yelp etc. Thousands of people have lost millions of pounds to these fraudsters. More importantly, which solicitors are actually well establis...
www.penerley.co.uk: For some reason, thousands of people have easily fallen for this. We really don't advise relying on any individual ratings about a company without accompanying explained reasons. We've been trying to find some of these specialists to add to our network and seeking those that...
www.lindsays.co.uk: Lindsays deal with many cross border issues so have to deal with English law when it comes to things such as property sales. Most of the time it's just simply a fake email to clients telling them to send their house deposit to the fraudsters bank account instead. That last s...
www.educationlawservice.com: Sometimes the only way to ensure your child gets the correct care is to get the legal system of the country to push back against the education system. But just as with the NHS constantly providing a poor service, cutting corners, and even causing deaths by negligence - the...
www.pumpcourtchambers.com:
class="infoquote "Cordelia was very friendly and put things into words that I could understand. It doesn't matter to them.
The fact Pump Court Chambers state a target demographic of their local area is a good sign (to us at least) that they do not overstretch the...
www.tsabi.law: The majority of comments are positive and out of the few negative reviews we saw there didn't seem to be a theme to latch on to and warn about. TSABI Ltd aka The Solicitors Advocates & Barristers Inc first caught our eye as being a larger firm that still handled Legal Aid ...
www.fieldfisher.com: Not only that, they even have their own Wikipedia page. A very encouraging mix of experience alongside new blood eager to prove themselves. You'll see Fieldfisher have lawyers from each of the past four decades including Ian Austin (qualified in 1986), Bridget Collier (199...
www.sbwlaw.co.uk:
We wouldn't recommend seeing such as a sticking point though.
A quick note on navigation as always. Either way though, such things really should be decided by the people on the receiving end of that friendliness - i.e.

www.frankrogerslaw.co.uk: Note that many law firm's websites will make a statement such as "40 years of experience within the firm" or "20 years of combined experience". Of course if you see a very small law practice or even a sole practitioner stating they cover a simply massive range of cases - ...
www.richmondlegalltd.co.uk: To use a description any less than 'expert' would clearly be unwise.
One good way to check up on a law firm or an individual solicitor's expertise and experience is through the local law society.

www.dvsolicitors.com: Followed by solicitors coming into the industry in almost every decade since including Alexander Ude (qualified in 2001) right up to the practically 'green' Angel Masih who recently qualified in 2018. A good mix of seasoned wisdom alongside new fresh blood. It's a useful ti...
www.rdcostings.co.uk:
When you see firms stating "no win, no fee" across their site, that doesn't necessarily mean there are no fees at all. At the moment the bulk of fraud is aimed at property law firms. The compensation settlements are also not purely based on lost wages or an individua...

www.aps-legal.com: This is both more helpful in pinpointing where the praise is due , but also unhelpful in pointing out the review isn't of the company as a whole. Typically they will state "ABC Wills is run by ABC Solicitors Ltd and regulated by the SRA No.000001" or something similar. We c...
www.taborns.com: The official site we link to above is www.taborns.com (www.taborns.co.uk does not bring anything up right now) and whilst the branding is simply 'Taborns' it is the Will Taborn Ltd name that will bring up other relevant information such as companies house. We provide a trans...
www.hutcheonlaw.co.uk: They will have the third party cover your legal costs as well. We would only recommend using ones that allow reviewers to leave comments though. There is just as much chance that you'll get a 1-year-experienced solicitor from a 10-year-old firm as there is from a 100-year-o...
www.allsopdurnllp.co.uk: Anything about bank details or payments would never be discussed in an email anyway by a reputable firm. The only issue would be perhaps mis-spelling the Alsop. We also saw alot of searches for Allsop Durn Dearlove, but that seems to just be an older name for the firm. Us in...
www.hampsonhughes.com: AND from start to finish (which only took 4 months) HH kept me informed on a regular basis"
"They kept me updated throughout the whole process and got my case solved really quickly"< div>

www.driscollkingston.co.uk: It would look odd if they didn't. No really! That's like giving Pizza Hut 1 star for not serving the Chinese food you asked for.
When you've finished scrunching up your eyebrows and narrowing your eyes at that last statement - let me explain. There are only a handful...
www.masonbullock.co.uk: Did that mean we skipped over the usual checks? Of course not. That brings us to a quick note about navigation.
The reason we point out common errors is because of how easy it is for people to think they are on the correct site or being emailed from an official address...

www.trustinheritance.com: Be warned though that you really need to read the comments and not just rely on star ratings. Words like 'modern', 'fresh', and 'friendly' appear practically everywhere making them meaningless as a result. Unfortunately the temptation to utilise marketing language on any com...

www.33legal.uk: Considering the huge number of simple variants people might mis-remember such as www.33legal.co.uk, we recommend bookmarking the main site we've linked to above if you plan on coming back to them. (Especially with one Southern England firm that claimed a 150 year heritage be...
www.thorpewilson.co.uk: For example, Asda do not 'specialise' in Cereal, Milk, Chocolate, Underwear, Toys and Bottled Water.

www.gloverpriest.com: As sometimes happens with forums such as Google, Yellow Pages or Yelp - firms with multiple offices get reviewed individually. Typically when a firm gets quite large, they tend to hire a full time 'web guy' who then goes on to generate thousands of inner pages of a website t...
www.robinsomerville.co.uk: It's quite far from the common marketing jargon you've probably seen on a dozen other law firm sites today.
If you've read some of our other review articles on firms, this is usually the point where we direct you to various online resources to help research the company...
www.otssolicitors.co.uk: Many firms may quote ancient establishment dates stating their firm has been around for over 200 years, only for people to discover no-one at the firm has been a solicitor for more than a couple of those years. Common errors we would expect such as dropping the extra 's' (i....
www.reidblack.com: It simply means that when we researched the firm at the time they came up as being a good firm, covering a good range, with little or no complaints registered on forums or with the relevant organisations. So how do Reid Black Solicitors stack up on independent boards?

www.pennchambers.co.uk: Not all barristers are able to take instructions from members of the public. Also, in some of the searches we tested, the website of their parent company www.penngroup.co.uk showed up as the top result. Don't underestimate the usefullness of such basic information either. Yo...
www.drivingdefences.co.uk: Unfortunately, when you have a very low number of reviews from which to draw an average - just one even middle-ing review can cause a large slip. If there were really that many people getting away with things because of a technicality then the laws would constantly be being ...
www.levinslaw.co.uk: A good mix of seasoned wisdom alongside young blood eager to prove themselves. Certainly we've had similar problems and it took six months to get a response out of Google.
