CS Solicitors review

Ranked 8 of 8 in Criminal defence solicitors in Telford

Best for: police-station advice with legal aid

CS Solicitors in short

CS Solicitors is a small Wellington criminal practice, a recognised sole practice on the SRA register with crime in its areas of law. It holds crime and prison-law legal-aid contracts and sits on the Telford duty scheme, so arrested clients get free advice at the station. Our review finds it the purest station-advice brief in the round.

Customer reviews are warm on Google across the widest review base in the table. A decade on the SRA register underpins the practice. For free station advice from a duty-scheme solicitor, the credentials are exactly right.

What counts against CS Solicitors, in our judgement, is visibility: with no website, services, prices and insurance cannot be checked online at all. Everything runs through the register entry, directory listings and the phone. Callers wanting paperwork before they commit will find little to read first.

Our verdict

Our judgement: CS suits you if you want a small Wellington criminal practice with a decade on the SRA register and duty-scheme cover at the police station [1] [2]. The Crime and Prison Law contracts narrow its brief clearly [2]. What counts against it is the absence of a website or any published price or insurance detail [2].
