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.
