From my experience, the firm’s online ratings and listed practice areas were mostly accurate, and the profile shown on Solicitor News provided a reliable starting point. The directory gave a clear picture of their key services and aggregated reviews, which helped set expectations before contacting them.

In real engagement, their legal expertise aligned with what was advertised, but there were a few differences in communication and responsiveness. While the firm appeared highly polished on their Solicitor News listing, the day-to-day updates and client follow-ups were slightly less consistent than the ratings suggested.

Overall, the directory showcased the firm fairly well, but actual client interaction revealed minor gaps — something that can happen when firms emphasise strengths online. It’s always worth asking deeper questions before instructing them, even when platforms like Solicitor News offer good insight.
