Finding Legal Help When Things Go Wrong
Again, not many people bother to read what's actually included or even check when stuff comes up. But for most policies the included legal assistance will cover non-car related matters as well such as home insurance claims, family law, business disputes and more. There will obviously be limits but make sure to read up and check just in case:

White Collar Legal & Admin Ltd in Wirral, Merseyside:
Let's be honest, when it comes to legal services - White Collar Ltd being established in 2013 sounds like the paint hasn't even dried yet when compared to the "established in 1801" dates some solicitors come up with. White Collar director Philip Nam's profile states ...
TSABI Ltd - The Solicitors Advocates & Barristers Inc in Southall, London & Slough: They also weren't averse to listing some of the more common fees actually on their site. The branding has the longer name but you will find most things such as regulatory bodies mentioned above and review pages use the acronym version.
Why is that important? Because we...
Thorpe Wilson Ltd Solicitors in Rochdale: The www.thorpewilson.com version currently shows nothing and all the typical typos versions we checked such as www.thorpwilson.co.uk were also not owned by the firm.

Taylor Rose MW Ltd Solicitors in Manchester, Peterborough & London: This sort of thinking could therefore be called 'old school'. Deciding what information is useful, relevant, or up-to-date is a considerable task. However, the individual ratings themselves were mostly 5 stars or 1 star. These are the same firm though. The largest conveyanc...

SBW Law Ltd - Solicitors in Liverpool: Briefly put, this was a new set of regulations meaning that non-lawyers could own a law firm. The official website we link to on this page is www.sbwlaw.co.uk and currently www.sbwlaw.com is owned by a firm in the USA - so there should be no real confusion there. If a firm s...
RSR Law Ltd in Croydon:
Hopefully you'll now see why we thought this firm would be a good addition to the 1to1Legal network - e.g. Timescale. 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 ...
Robson & Co Solicitors based in Hythe, Shepway, Kent: As they say on their website - all relationship collapses are stressful. Worse still, are those firms where the receptionist asks you personal questions, you answer them, she walks through to the solicitor's office, tries to repeat what you've said, listens to the solicitor,...
Redwood Collections Ltd - Debt Recovery Services based in Croydon: There aren't too many possible variants to worry about and scammers tend to target other legal matters such as property and wills anyway so no concerns to raise here. Redwood Collections was created in 2009 and states it has helped over 17,000 clients so far. VERY fast turna...
Penn Chambers Ltd - Solicitors in London: There are plenty of third party boards you can use though such as Trustpilot, Yelp, Google, Yell.com and so on. Just the fact they kick it off with "We know it is boring, but we have to do it" really matched our own sensibilities. Not all barristers are able to take instruct...

MTA Personal Injury Solicitors LLP in Bromley, Kent - Greater London: They ask us about car accidents we've never been in then hang up when we ask them to repeat their company details. The Law Society for England & Wales has a very good user side setup allowing people to see a wide range of details including each legal professional's experti...
Meresbrook Pollard Solicitors in Bradford: We didn't find it mentioned on the firm's own site, so be sure to ask if those offers are still available. Why is that unique? Because we've never seen a firm targeting those three as their core. With hourly solicitor rates often being around £150, knowing the exact co...
McShanes Solicitors based in Newry, County Down, Northern Ireland: Luckily, it's a .com rather than a .co.uk, though, so confusion shouldn't be nearly as high.

Leech & Co Solicitors Ltd in Manchester: Apparently there are over 2000+ such locations across the UK so I imagine the majority of solicitors dealing with Wills, Court of Protection and Power of Attorney matters are aware of them.

R James Hutcheon Solicitors - Law Firm in Liverpool: Why is that a big deal? Because there's a lot of sneaky marketing jargon used these days for such things.

Huneewoth Solicitors based in Croydon, South London: Some law firms will state a range of language abilities, when what they mean is they can get an interpreter into the office within 24-48 hours to translate back and forth. This is important because if they have only stated Criminal Law in the Law Society record as an area of...
HJA.net - Hodge Jones & Allen LLP Solicitors in London: The downsides of constantly changing staff and leadership can be easily seen in how our government is run.

Helix Law Ltd - Solicitors in Brighton & Eastbourne: Both with firms trying to boost their own image, and with competitors trying to sabotage others. A quality, carefully presented FAQs section for example is sadly a rarity. Please note, the spelling and typo errors are copy pasted directly:

HH Law Ltd - Hampson Hughes Solicitors in Liverpool:

Frank Rogers Law Ltd - Motoring Offence Solicitor in Birkenhead: We saw that www.frankrogers.co.uk is a different firm dealing with property with neither www.frankrogerslaw.com or www.frankrogers.com having anything on them yet. Whilst Frank Rogers does state he knows those loopholes, that is absolutely not how most cases are 'won' . For...
Fieldfisher LLP Personal Injury Solicitors in Manchester & London: The majority are positive. Even more odd was the comment about them having 'very understanding traffic wardens'.

Hammond Trotter Solicitors Ltd | Motor Offence Lawyers in Manchester & London:

Driscoll Kingston Solicitors in Liverpool: Over the past 20+ years of writing about law firms I've come to realise you can tell a lot about a firm from the type of things they put in their News Blog sections.

Davey Law Solicitors in Cirencester and Gloucester: If we asked people to imagine a typical, modern solicitor's firm - Davey Law is exactly what would spring to most people's minds.

CFG Law Personal Injury Solicitors in Cheadle, Greater Manchester: Any negative points? Well, thinking outside the box has resulted in us agreeing with at least 99% of CFG's mentality. The fact more firms don't include them on their websites boggles the mind.
