Legal Advice Centre Opens on Newport Street

01/08/2016

Russell and Russell Solicitors has opened a legal shop in Bolton town centre.

The Mayor, Cllr Lynda Byrne officially opened the new premises at 39 Newport Street, stating that Russell and Russell’s belief in access to justice for everyone had been the driving force behind the facility, and that the firm had made positive steps to blow the cobwebs off the traditional way of providing legal services by offering a 21st Century solution for a modern society.

Part of the firm’s personal injury department will work from the upper two floors of the 4,000 sq ft building, while the ground floor will operate as a legal advice centre for clients wanting help with residential and commercial property, wills and probate, family matters, personal injury and criminal defence services.

"We're really excited about it", explained Judith Bromley, partner at Russell and Russell. "The advice centre is in the heart of the retail district giving people instant access to legal advice. We understand it's not always possible to see a solicitor during normal working hours, so we'll be open from 8.30am - 6.00pm Monday to Friday and 10.00am - 4.00pm on a Saturday. Anyone wanting guidance on a legal issue won't need to make an appointment. Instead, they can call in and speak to someone direct or arrange for one of the team to give them a call when it's convenient for them. This is just one of the ways we aim to make life that little bit easier for the client."
