Talbots Telford review

Ranked 1 of 8 in Criminal defence solicitors in Telford

Best overall criminal defence solicitor in Telford: full police-station-to-court cover with a round-the-clock line

Active

Trading as Talbots Law Ltd · 2nd Floor, Jordan House, West Hall Court, Hall Park Way, Telford, Shropshire, TF3 4NF · Service area: Telford

Talbots Telford in short

Talbots Telford is the Telford arm of Talbots Law, a larger Midlands firm based at Jordan House on Hall Park Way, covering police-station advice, Magistrates' Court and Crown Court defence with a round-the-clock criminal line. Legal-aid guidance sits alongside private defence, and a dedicated motoring-offences pricing page shows the firm states its terms openly. Our review finds the broadest station-to-court brief in this round.

Customer reviews are spotless but few: five stars on Google across a small base, the highest rating in the table. SRA registration is on the register, and the company record runs back over a decade. The Jordan House office gives arrested clients and their families a staffed Telford door to walk through.

What counts against Talbots, in our judgement, is the absence of published criminal-defence fee amounts and of any stated insurance detail on the pages checked. Neither gap reflects the quality of the defence itself, but both leave a caller with questions only an enquiry can answer.
