Based in the centre of St Albans City, Bretherton Law has been serving the Northern Home Counties and London for over 50 years. We can help with property transactions (both residential and commercial), wills and probate and children's cases where social services are involved. Choosing a solicitor from among the many options available can seem a daunting task.
At Bretherton Law we aim to make that task easier with our honest, straightforward and professional approach. We won't talk down to you or baffle you with legal jargon. We'll listen to your problem and give you our honest opinion of the best way forward. We may be able to offer a fixed fee; if not, where possible we'll tell you the likely costs up front, and we will be realistic based on the information we have.
You won't find the Bretherton Law name splashed across your local newspaper or bus shelter. We're happy to rely on client recommendations and word of mouth when it comes to generating new business. We believe that our professionalism and dedication to our clients' needs are our key selling points, not some meaningless slogan dreamt up in the marketing department.
