Clarkes Solicitors in short

Clarkes Solicitors is a five-office Shropshire firm with branches in Telford, Shrewsbury, Newport, Wellington and Shifnal, tracing its history to 1894 with the current company on record since 2008. Published price lists cover employment, probate, debt recovery, conveyancing and motoring work. The SRA register lists it as a licensed body. You can call, email or enquire online, and each office lists its own phone and email.

Google reviews give 3.9 from 41 reviews, a cooler score than most rivals. Our view is that Clarkes Solicitors suits anyone who wants a high-street firm with a long history and an office nearby. Published prices and local reach are its main points, but neither makes up for cooler feedback. What counts against it is that cooler rating and no published insurance detail.
