RG Solicitors in Sidcup, York & Horsham (Renier Gillies): Yes, there is a peppering of marketing jargon - but each phrase is given context somewhere.

Karen Pointon & Co Solicitors Ltd in Newcastle-under-Lyme: The heavily snippeted example above is just the kind of thing claimants want to hear about the solicitor they're thinking of using.

PM Law based in Sheffield & Maidenhead, Proddow Mackay Solicitors: We've found that specialist and in-depth business law firms tend to favour larger clients, as the repeat work is where their bread and butter lies.

Boyd Rice Solicitors Ltd in Newtownards & Belfast, Northern Ireland: So far we've never seen a balanced testimonial page on a law firm's site with both negative and positive points expressed.
