Your local solicitors for life
Acorn is not some big out-of-town remote solicitors. Instead we are your local legal experts for life. We take time to get to know you and your personal needs and can meet you face-to-face when needed. Our friendly solicitors would love for you to drop in to one of our offices based in the town centre. Not only do we live locally but we are a big promoter of charities and community activities. Each year we raise thousands of pounds for local charities including our Will Aid work where we raise one of the highest amounts in the country.
Value for money
We have no hidden charges or costs - we tell you upfront clearly what you will pay. Our charges are comprehensive and we will tell you how you can keep costs down with a full quote before anything is done. If there are any changes to this quote we advise before you proceed.
We want to make sure you are fully happy with our work, and with the price.
