About Fantastic Lawyers
-
Fantastic Lawyers aims to be one of the leading legal directories in the UK, US and beyond. We focus on clear, credible shortlists of fantastic lawyers that you can confidently share and link to.
Who We Are
-
Fantastic Lawyers (formerly WardBlawG) was created by Gav Ward, non‑practising Solicitor and Director at MLT Digital. We also publish resources on digital marketing for law firms, legal technology, and AI for lawyers.
How We Help
-
We highlight the best law firms and solicitors, legal suppliers, and legal technologist specialists across practice areas including personal injury, family law, employment law, small business law, and more. Profiles are designed so firms can safely reference and link to them as independent third‑party recognition on their own sites and marketing channels.
How Lawyers Are Rated (FLR™)
-
Lawyers are reviewed using our independent, AI‑enhanced Fantastic Lawyers Rating (FLR™) – a 70–100% rating scale designed to highlight genuine quality, not pay‑to‑play. It considers verifiable trust signals including client reviews, reputation, firm history, experience, recognised accreditations or awards, publications, and overall profile strength; some listings display an FLR™ badge where a rating is available.
Independence and Paid Profiles
-
A small number of paid profiles exist on the site and are clearly marked as Featured; paid placement does not influence FLR™ ratings or editorial rankings, keeping our listings transparent, independent, and consumer‑focused.
