www.abslawyers.co.uk: Out of these snippets above the last one may sound a little confusing. Second the firm can state they have been 'providing legal services for over twenty years'. Lastly there are firms that write statements such as the one from ABS Lawyers' site above saying they have X...

OTS Solicitors is one such firm. The majority were positive like the snippets above. That's like leaving a ba...


www.ainakhanlaw.com: Typically when we review a firm we have to excuse the majority of their website's content. Normally we don't refer to a firm's own testimonials. But what does that actually mean? How many firms are in this never-mentioned list of 'leading firms' for that practice to be one...


www.taborns.com: For example if you were seeking help with a tax matter, we may show you options of a regular high street solicitor, a direct access barrister, and a regular accountants office. You'll have noticed that we are very selective about the firms we add to our database. Otherw...

www.educationlawservice.com: But just as with the NHS constantly providing a poor service, cutting corners, and even causing deaths by negligence - the special needs system within education is also run by fallible humans. In the past this usually only applied to cases that would be run on a no win, no f...

www.pumpcourtchambers.com: A real established and recognised group. We trawl through dozens of law firm's websites every day.

The firm themselves list a range of trademarks trading names including 'Serious', 'Serious Law', 'Serious Injury Law' and 'Helping to rebuild liv...


www.33legal.uk: Not by a long shot. We've seen law firms sharing Strictly Come Dancing memes, swearing, or just posting endless adverts followed by the phrase "Like Us!" which just looks out of place. We've often said that it's better to get a 20-year experienced lawyer in a 1-year ol...


www.searchbureau.co.uk: The correct firm tends to come up at the top of search results for the majority of phrases we tried. Whilst most general consumers will use a service and then happily go online to inform others about their positive or negative experience. So sadly there isn't a lot of...


www.fieldfisher.com: As there are no extra generic terms such as 'fieldfisher law' or 'fieldfisher legal' to cause confusion, and with most people being able to get the i and the e in the correct order (as the defunct i before e rule only impedes words with a c in them) - we don't expect there ...

The brand seems to be quite unique and therefore should be easy to find each time you want to come back to it. We tak...


www.leechandco.co.uk: Because of the UK tld this can result in www.leechandco.uk type errors (which we see in our own internal search box) not to mention the www.leach.co.uk, www.leitch.co.uk or other mis-spellings. Most people prefer a law firm that specialises in a specific area of law and ri...


www.theinjurysolicitor.com: The Law Society of England & Wales have the most informative and useful user-side display we've seen though. We should briefly discuss this statement more generally though: class="infoquote "All claims are handled on a No Win No Fee basis"< div> Whilst the ...


www.allsopdurn.co.uk: Allsop Durn don't actually have any on their website, but there are plenty on the third party boards such as Google, Trustpilot, Yelp, Yell.com and so on. A lot of this sales jargon means nothing. A good mix of 'wiser heads' whilst still having some fresh blood in the mix....


www.jarmanssolicitors.co.uk: There are many things people can use to gauge whether a law firm stands out from the rest. As the firm handles conveyancing and this has been a target for scammers (search "house purchase bank detail fraud" to read news and articles on the issue) we would therefore recommen...

www.stenfield.com: That was across all companies and some stated product testimonials as being untrustworthy as well. This helps to distinguish between those law firms that claim ancient establishment dates of their brand, compared with those that have actual real experience behind thei...


www.trustinheritance.com: Obviously we sound very pro-this-company and this could come across as bias. However we hope the information and links provided above at least show why we were more than happy to add Trust Inheritance to our database of recommended firms. class="infoquote "As ma...

www.hutcheonlaw.co.uk: How can you tell them apart? How can you tell which one is best for you? Or are they all pretty much the same? It's true that for many smaller claims there are average claim amounts that insurers and claims firms pretty much agree on without much argument. So when the...


www.mcewanfraserlegal.co.uk: That's not uncommon when it comes to property firms as most people feel comfortable announcing if their house sale went good or bad.

www.averywalters.com: firms posting 5 star reviews about themselves and companies posting 1 star reviews of their competitors. Avery Walters Solicitors states having two offices and the one in Leeds certainly bears that name. For example, a firm that states 'founded in 1883' could simply h...


www.integrallaw.co.uk: That can't help but be a good thing for any law office to have. These three quotes above are snippets from Google reviews . If you've checked up on the Companies House website to make sure this is genuine firm to begin with - you'll have seen Integral Law Ltd as apparent...

In fact added together the firm has almost 100 years of combined experienced between the current solicitors. It should therefore be noted that Driscoll Kingston have been very cautious an...


www.london-law.co.uk: Barely anyone qualifies for it these days anyway. That's not helpful and shouldn't really be allowed in our opinion. 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. At the ve...


www.bilkusandboyle.com: So when we say B&B have a very positive rating, that's actually quite an accomplishment for a firm dealing with property matters. You may also find that many of the lowest ratings often have nothing to do with the firm's services. By that we mean they handle conveyan...


www.robinsomerville.co.uk: A quite note on navigation as the this is obviously the barrister's name as the branding and web address. We've seen several consultants and sole practitioners advertising themselves as handling everything from Family Law, to Personal Injury, plus Immigration and more. ...


www.briffa.com: Roughly it's about half and half right now. With Briffa though, there's bucket loads. Whatever you do, don't go to www.briffalaw.com (just don't) and the most common misspelling www.brifa.com and .co.uk are not currently owned by anyone either. They also seem to have had pr...
