I disagree. Personally speaking, clients like to talk to the person doing the writing. That is why they avoid essay writing companies and would rather deal with the one person they know will be writing their essay. This is why a phone number helps. Someone who has nothing to hide would publish a phone number. It might be worth buying a phone specifically for client contact so that they don't bother you when you are socialising for example. I would never order from a person not displaying a contact number on their website.

@FreelanceWriter
Easy to say isn't it plus more self publicity.
UK law is different from US law and the demands of good grammar and spelling are more rigorous. UK law includes Scottish law which is different from English law. There are many decent UK writing companies so find it bemusing why a British based student would seek a US based writer.

@Hanna Hill
Bit of advice, never ever trust an essay company or writer who does not display a phone number on their website. There are no legitimate excuses for failing to do it..

@MeoKhan
Good comment, well spotted.

"Most of my clients want to remain anonymous, but I can provide some referrals if you insist; however (again) you have no way of knowing that they're real clients of mine" (excerpt FW's website). So whatever a defender of any buffoon who endorses him says is most likely untrue.

@wordsies
You are clearly too dense to understand the initial comment I made. Too busy name dropping, Charles, I believe. Pathetic.
Point I was making is that anyone can write anything and endorse anyone on here and there is no way of proving its authenticity. Fake endorsements are easy to churn out. It is however permissible (that means allowable) and useful to prospective clients to comment on a writer's website, noting the lack of a phone number for example.

@cruciandiem
Just as important is that the writer or writing company doesn't make outlandish claims. If a writer claims to have a vast impressive array of experience in many sectors you should be wary. A legitimate writer will tell you the name of the law school or university he/she attended. If it looks as if they are over-promoting themselves, again be cautious. If something looks too good to be true then it probably isn't authentic.

@FreelanceWriter
I never understand why someone who is so confident of his/her own abilities and list of achievements feels the need to justify themselves.

@Hanna Hill
You're most welcome. A phone number is a critical component in identifying reputable companies and freelancers.

I find writers who over-promote, list unsubstantiated credentials, and react badly to any criticism, dubious. Call me old fashioned but I get a whiff of BS.

@FreelanceWriter
Most UK students also want UK writers as their systems of law are different from USA law.

@wordsies
Your pomposity is in evidence. My criticism is honest and my opinions are my observations so you cannot decry them as inaccurate. My opinions are based on my perceptions and I'm as entitled as you or anyone else registered on this forum to express them. Why do you think my reference to overpromoting and unsubstantiated credentials is aimed at you? Your kind offer to divulge your clients on this forum if I reciprocate is very worrying if I was one of your student. Again a desperate attempt to legitimise yourself as we all know how easy it is to provide fake reviews, payslips, email exchanges.

@wordsies
Backtracking as befits a coward with no idea of very much You are the one offering to divulge clients. I think 'd' should have one more missing letter so in a 'dunce' contest then yes you'd win hands down obviously.
