Picasso Legal review

Ranked 1 of 7 in Family law solicitors in Telford

Best overall family law solicitor in Telford: fixed-fee family work with costs published upfront

Active

Trading as Picasso Legal Limited · Meeting Point House, Southwater Way, Telford, Shropshire, TF3 4HS · Service area: Telford

Picasso Legal in short

Picasso Legal is a small Telford family practice run through a limited company, led by solicitor Lisa Pickering from an office near Southwater. Family work is all it does: divorce, children, finances and domestic abuse, with fixed, capped and monthly fee options set out on its site and the divorce papers price named. In our review, that published pricing is what sets Picasso Legal apart in this round.

Customer reviews sit only on Google in our evidence, at 4.3 from 65 ratings: one source, a middling score for this table. The public record is stronger, with an SRA listing for the Telford office, a company record active for over a decade, and an insurance schedule linked from the firm's own site. Our judgement is that Picasso Legal suits anyone who wants a small practice where fees are settled before the first meeting; the trade-off is size, with one solicitor carrying the caseload.

Our verdict

Our judgement: Picasso Legal suits you if you want a small Telford practice where the fees are fixed and published before you make contact [2] [3]. The record supports it: an SRA listing, an active company since 2014 and a published insurance schedule [4] [5] [7]. The trade-off is size — one solicitor carries the caseload [5].
