Active

Trading as ELLIOTT BRIDGMAN LIMITED · 66-70 Court Street, Madeley, Telford, Shropshire, TF7 5EP · Service area: Telford, Shrewsbury

Elliott Bridgman in short

Elliott Bridgman is a Telford private-client practice based at Madeley, with a second office in Shrewsbury and an active company behind the name since 2008. What sets it apart is the leadership: the private-client head is stated as a qualified Trust and Estate Practitioner, with Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners and Solicitors for the Elderly membership on the firm's own site. A full wills and probate price list sits on the page, and probate enquiries go to a named email beside a round-the-clock helpline.

The SRA register entry and company record both check out. In our judgement Elliott Bridgman suits you if you want wills, powers and probate under one Telford roof with every headline price in writing. What counts against it is the missing insurance statement on the pages checked.

On services and areas, the record shows wills, trust wills, lasting powers and probate from the Madeley office, serving Telford with a second office in Shrewsbury. Probate starts through a named email beside a round-the-clock helpline, and every headline price sits on the page.

Customer reviews are strong but single-platform: 4.8 on Google across 51 published ratings, with no second review platform on the record. That sits second among the ranked ten for customer evidence, which reads as genuine depth behind a private-client team. The base is smaller than some rivals', but the score sits clearly above the round's middle.

Questions about Elliott Bridgman

Is Elliott Bridgman any good?

On the evidence, yes for wills and probate: it tops our Telford table, holds 4.8 on Google across 51 reviews, and pairs a stated STEP practitioner with a full published price list [5] [2].
