Goldsmith Bowers Solicitors: For example, this snippet from their website: class="infoquote "Specialist debt recovery, litigation, and Insolvency lawyers since 2010"< div> In the legal industry a founding date of 2010 may sound almost brand new against the multitude of law firms claiming an...
Guardian Law: To us that indicates the best qualities of a specialist firm in that they genuinely seem to care about businesses by trying to get as much useful advice out there. To get the correct reviews to come up we needed to enter the full 'guardian law nottingham' but t...
Backhouse Solicitors: The founding date of a firm is utterly meaningless and usually tenous. class="infoquote "Book your free 30 - minute Consultation"< div> We're still very surprised that this offer from Backhouse's solicitors is something we can praise. This is because there...
WH Solicitors: The number of reviews that are for the completely wrong firm (which we'll cover in an moment) are just ridiculous. class="infoquote "We're flexible with our fees with most cases – our fees are competitive and you will know in advance of what the fees will be."< div...
Two Harcourt Buildings: Coming back to the differences in setup mentioned before, a law chambers is not like a law firm of solicitors. But make sure to check through each chamber's website and have a good chat with someone on the phone to get some clarity about the Public Access Scheme in re...
MJV & Co Solicitors Ltd: But one thing we did notice as a recurring theme across them all was 'Natalie' being named and thanked regularly.
The first is simple. It usually relates to the length of time the firm has been running or the highest number of years a specific lawyer at the firm has be...
Bridge McFarland LLP: That's a good mix of seasoned heads with fresh eyes . Don't be afraid to call the official number you already have if anything you receive seems even remotely suspicious. Take this example:
class="infoquote "Bridge McFarland LLP is a leading regional law firm that ho...

Brown and Co Solicitors:

Mackenzie Jones Solicitor: In this example, there aren't really going to be any firms that say they are NOT going to fight in your corner - are there? So what does help?
class="infoquote "When the time comes that you need legal advice, you'll want to be sure that you're dealing with real expe...

Stowe Family Law: Some people believe they will be 'lost in the pack' at a large firm, whilst others think the weight of a large firm behind them will increase their changes of a successful outcome. That's why this statement on the firm's website stood out to us the most out of everything: ...

Bell Lax Solicitors: On the other hand, an individual solicitor who tries to handle a huge range of case types cannot really call themselves a specialist. The official website is www.belllax.com (triple 'l') with www.belllax.co.uk redirecting you there too. So within the firm there will be a sol...
JPS Walker Solicitors Ltd: This competition has really benefited clients in ensuring firms really buckle down and excel in a certain area.

"I have ...
Youngs Solicitors: It's just that we try to focus on more general discussions about ways to check and things to watch for that can be applied to most law offices generally. Please note that you can't have an ampersand (&) in a web address so anything like www.young&co.law will not exist. Since...
Lefevres Law: It's still very much a specialty though. It's like trying to find a dentist that will work on the NHS funding. So here are a few snippets from them:
class="infoquote "took on my medical negligence case when none of the 'big names' were interested"
"explained the l...
David Stinson & Co:
class="infoquote "We have a proven track record of success with our clients and we cover a wide area of the county, including:"< div>
Many firms claim long periods of experience with statements such as 'over 20 years experience within the firm'. They are therefor...
Cooks Solicitors: Therefore there will likely be reviews, information, and links for each branding within the group dotted about on the same pages. We agree that it is always better to see both the positive and negative comments. For example those firms stating 'founded in 1881' or even older...

Frazer Coogans Ltd: Sadly, that is very rare . Even when things are completely outside the control of the solicitor, clients will often leave negative comments on review boards. Since the 90s the government has been stripping Legal Aid massively so that these days very few people qualify for h...
QualitySolicitors Burton & Co: Therefore they believe leaving the negative review anywhere is 'probably fine'.

So is there a compelling reason we've made an exception for this CMC? Yes and ...
Simper Law Ltd: Especially the review we saw where a person looking to divorce was mad at a criminal law firm for refusing to help. An easy mistake to make if typing things in late at night. For some reason, thousands of people have sent tens of thousands of pounds of their money to the fra...
Reynolds Macdonald Solicitors: They are far less likely to rush and publicly talk about their messy divorce, bankruptcy, or life-long brain injury. Apparently people really are sending tens of thousands of pounds to the fraudsters without bothering to check with their solicitor about the payment change fi...
ULA Solicitors Ltd: Thankfully ULA Solicitors have gone with the traditional photo, work history, and contact details which is great and something we think every law firm should provide. Those clients then simply transfer the money to the fraudster's bank account without bothering to check wi...
Taylor Price Solicitors:
class="infoquote "Taylor Price Solicitors LLP was established in 2015 and currently operates through two offices based in Manchester and Leeds."< div>
In the face of these long-establishment claims by other firms, being a law firm that started in 2015 can make it ...
Michael Leighton Jones: When you are flicking through law firm reviews remember that people are far less likely to share their feelings about their messy divorce than they are about the restaurant they just ate at. However it would still be fair to call this firm a group of 'specialists' as well....
Milners Solicitors: The branding is 'Milners' but you will see most title-ing being 'Milners Solicitors' and the website address is based on Milners Law. From the information we've seen that's not the case for Milners Solicitors .
Normally such testimonials are created from written respo...
KRS Estate Planning Ltd: Such as:

Trojan Solicitors Ltd:
A quick note on navigation. Rhod Gilbert's https: www.youtube.com watch?v=drKC3Zd3SqM" award winning mince pie rant< a> very much relates to how we feel on the subject. For all we know the awards all these solicitors are boasting about could be very old or have noth...
CEL Solicitors: But no-one's perfect. We typically don't quote reviews listed on a firm's own website (more commonly called 'testimonials') ever since our poll last year indicated that only 8% of people trust such testimonials on company sites. These types of claims are sometimes short-live...
Fulton's Solicitors & Estate Agents: There were the expected negative reviews though which did tend to follow the common pattern for negative comments of conveyancing firms - e.g.
There were even comments we would consider completely useless such as "I will take my business elsewhere!" with no clarifica...
HooperHyde: Confirming the experience level of the actual lawyer you'll be dealing with is something most people find most useful. This, and the odd search results, shouldn't be a huge worry though as most scammers tend to target property clients as apparently it's very easy https: ww...
Antony Hodari Solicitors:

Fair Result Ltd: In other words if you want a fight and to make each other suffer as much as possible on the way out of a marraige - they can't help you. It's one of the few commercial sectors left where they believe an ancient founding date should give them some sort of boost in the minds...
Dylan Nair Solicitors Ltd: If you https: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk office 469206 dylan-nair-solicitors-limited" take a look at the page< a> for any particular firm you can see any alternate trading names, a list of solictiors working there, other locations, and even qualification dates of indivi...
Mckie Legal:
It's also far more common to get misleading reviews about solicitors because a lot of times any case will have a winner, and a loser. The use of trading names is not something to worry about . www.mckiesolicitors.co.uk) being the same.
