Taborns Legal Business - Will Taborn Ltd in London: No matter how hard a firm tries, that's just how things come out. For example, this could be a requirement for a specialist member of the UK Bar (Barrister), premium investigatory services, litigation funding or eDiscovery."< div>

R James Hutcheon Solicitors - Law Firm in Liverpool: Last year we ran a poll and it turned out that only 21% of people actually trusted testimonials on company websites.

SBW Law Ltd - Solicitors in Liverpool: For example, 5x staff members with 2x years of experience = 10 years of experience 'within the firm'. SBW Law doesn't use such potentially misleading language on their website. That brings us back to the earlier comment about subtle word differences. Whilst there shouldn't...
RSR Law Ltd in Croydon: So is it a new firm with little experience? No, because if you visit The Law Society website you'll see that Robert Stephen Rocker (Mr R.S.R.) has been a practising solicitor since November of 1997.

Robson & Co Solicitors based in Hythe, Shepway, Kent: The fact is, the term 'bread winner' is often still associated with the 'man of the house', and in most advertising it is the men who are targeted to take out a will and life insurance.

Alexander JLO Solicitors - AJLO in London, Birmingham, Chelmsford, Norwich & Liverpool: However one thing they do (which we don't) that could be very helpful - is allow clients to leave reviews on each firm.

Leech & Co Solicitors Ltd in Manchester: Whilst it's certainly on-topic with their particular client focus - I imagine it's something you only really understand when that time actually comes.

Jackson Lees Group Solicitors in Liverpool & Manchester (aka Jackson Canter): But with a number of large, well-established firms collapsing in recent years - it is a real testament to their planning, staff, and setup that they seem to be going from strength to strength rather than calling in the administrators.
Naturally, there have been changes ...
IWC Estate Planning & Management Ltd - Probate & Will Services in Croydon, Bristol & Braintree: You may have already noticed that not many people bother writing reviews about law firms. They are simply 'case management companies'. You have to be pretty confident in your customer service to do such a thing when it comes to legal matters. However, we have seen comparis...
Huneewoth Solicitors based in Croydon, South London:
On the Law Society record, it should state the areas of practice that the firm covers. If we find a noticeable discrepancy, we ask about it - and you should too. The firm's founding solicitor, Anupamah Huneewoth, became a solicitor in 2011. That means you have to check...

CSL Law Ltd Solicitors in Croydon: Hopefully this should also point out the folly of thinking that a firm stating "Establish 1813!" has 200+ years more experience over a firm created in 2013.
