Picasso Legal review

Best overall solicitor in Telford: published fixed fees with cover on record

Picasso Legal in short

Picasso Legal is a Telford family-law practice run as a single-director company from Southwater, with one solicitor named on the SRA register. Fixed fees are its calling card: divorce, children and money matters are priced on published pages rather than billed by the hour, and a free first appointment opens the door. An insurance certificate in the firm's name sits on the site, which no rival in this round matches.

Customer reviews are solid rather than glowing, with 4.3 on Google across 65 reviews, a thinner and cooler record than several rivals hold.

Our judgement is that Picasso Legal suits anyone who wants family help with costs visible before the first appointment. What counts against it is the age of that insurance paper: the certificate shown covers the 2017/2018 indemnity year, so current cover is not evidenced.

Our verdict

Our judgement: Picasso suits you if you want family-law help on fixed fees from a small Telford practice [2]. The published fee detail and insurance certificate stand out [3] [4]. What counts against it is that the certificate shown is seven years old, beside a Google rating of 4.3 from 65 reviews [4] [7].
