We know that contacting a solicitor can feel like a big step, particularly when you are dealing with something difficult, urgent or deeply personal. You do not need to know the legal terminology or which department you need before you contact us. Tell us what is happening and we will listen, help identify the right team and explain the next step.
Watkins Solicitors is a multi-award-winning law firm, established in 1998 and Lexcel accredited since 2018. We support clients across England and Wales and advise on a wide range of personal legal matters with clear, practical and compassionate advice.
Many legal issues overlap. A family matter may also involve a child’s education, a bereavement may lead to probate and conveyancing, or planning for the future may involve a Will and a Power of Attorney. Because Watkins Solicitors has specialist teams across different areas of law, we can help you see the wider picture and connect you with additional support where it is relevant.
You can speak to us by telephone or email wherever you are.
If you would like to meet us in person, we have offices in Bristol, Bath, Hereford and Evesham. You do not need to live near one of our offices to use Watkins Solicitors. We support clients across England and Wales and can also work with you by telephone, email and video where appropriate.
