Firms with a verified rating

Rated 4.5 or above
There are 20 SRA-regulated firms in Peterlee. 16 carry a verified Google rating (80%), averaging 4.1 stars across 1,800 reviews, and 5 are rated 4.5 or above. That is 0.23 of a star below the national average of 4.33, measured across 2,980 rated firms of 3,477.
Size is not quality. One-office firms average 4.38 stars on a £1,200 median fee across 689 firms; firms with two to four offices 4.31 on £1,200 across 505; five to nine offices 4.21 across 119; and firms with ten or more offices average 4.09 on a £1,500 median across 29 firms. National firms cost about £300 more and rate 0.29 lower, and the rating falls steadily as the office count rises.
A rating only appears here once we have verified the Google listing belongs to the firm, checking the phone number, the domain, the postcode, the trading names and the business type. 2,980 of 3,477 firms carry a rating we can defend; the rest say “No rating” rather than guess, because an unverified match can attach a supermarket's stars to a law firm. Fees are shown too, but they are the second question here.
For reference, the median freehold purchase legal fee in Peterlee is £925 across 13 firms publishing fees.
