Almond Solicitors based in Salford, Greater Manchester:
Whether you're struggling through a dispute at work, considering divorce, or moving home - there will be a suitable solicitor out there who you will simply 'click' with. If you hate jargon but want answers - there will be one that speaks plainly. If you have a difficult case - there will be one with enough experience to handle it wisely. If you prefer face to face discussions rather than emails or Skype - there will be one with an office nearby.
The thing is ... Almond Solicitors promises to be all of that.
They promise that their team will always explain what will be involved in the legal process and to make sure that you are kept in the loop until the matter is settled. All the while using straightforward English, never confusing legal jargon.
Their solicitors apparently assist with conveyancing queries daily. They also state a proven track record in dealing with more complex cases, such as employment disputes or family law matters. In fact, they state experience in Personal Injury, Wills & Probate, Flight Delays, Civil Litigation, Clinical Negligence, Debt Recovery, Mediation and more.
Lastly, they have actual offices for you to visit. When we first came across Almond, they had three offices around Manchester. However, they have since condensed to just two, but have moved one of them to a more central location nearer the heart of Manchester. We've never caught the bus in Greater Manchester to tell you whether getting around is easy. But rest assured, one nearer the main bus stations and train terminals obviously stands a better chance.
The original setup was Droylsden, Heaton Moor & Oldham. Now, they still have the Droylsden office - but seem to have strong focus on people attending and working with the main one in Salford.
Unlike some law firms who pick a name based on what sounds good - the name "Almond Solicitors" actually comes from it's principal solicitor Greg Almond. Greg is a specialist personal injury solicitor with many years of experience working both sides of the fence for claimants and defendants alike. This obviously means he understands the injury claims process better than most others, resulting in him being asked to present numerous lectures on Personal Injury Litigation throughout the North West. He is also a member of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL). Additionally Greg has written many articles on personal injury and compensation matters leading to him having his own advice column in a local newspaper.
If you really like to get to know a firm before finally settling on using them, Almond have extensive profiles on each of their staff.
For example, William O'Brien is a consultant solicitor for Almonds with nearly 40 year's experience at various firms around the country, having qualified as a solicitor in 1979. He has spent the bulk of his career specialising in personal injury law. Knowing the kind of experience, expertise and focus the people at a firm have can really help when deciding which firm to use.
A short word on browsing - the web address www.almondsolicitors.co.uk will direct you through to a website hosted on a www.nationalsolicitors.com domain name. If you end up there, it is the correct place. www.almondsolicitors.com, www.almond-solicitors.co.uk, and www.almond-solicitors.com however don't seem to be owned by anyone right now. So there may come a point in the future when another Mr Almond qualifies as a solicitor and decides to open his own firm. It is up to you how you bookmark, but just be sure you're in the right place each time before typing in personal information.
