About Us
Overview
Legallybetter is an independent site established in 2009 to provide a quick and reliable way to compare solicitors and compare lawyers and then find a solicitor, for both private individuals and companies/organizations.
Its unique feature is that it brings independent consumer reviews and ratings of solicitors and lawyers from around the UK together in one place to enable other law firm users to compare solicitors and select their legal advisers with confidence. So word of mouth from real law firm clients helps you to find a solicitor or find a lawyer that fits your needs.
These reviews and ratings have come from unsolicited feedback to Legallybetter, regular independent consumer and business market research surveys, and client testimonials from law firms and solicitors. All reviews and ratings are verified and come from genuine clients.
This is not a price comparison site but we focus on service quality and value. Users provide comments on the service they received and also rate the law firm using our "Legal Stars" rating system covering 5 key service criteria:
- Quality of Advice
- Speed of Service
- Value for Money
- Helpfulness & Friendliness
- Communications with Client
The site is being promoted nationally via various channels including the printed media and web sites while a locally based promotional campaign will concentrate on key towns/cities and counties.
Already you can find a solicitor covered by reviews and ratings in:
