Why us

Although we are completely hopeless at marketing ourselves, Chappell and Pascoe are each really quite good at what they do. But they are modest, self-deprecating souls, with such little musical ability that they cannot and will not even try to blow their own trumpets. (They are also worried that blowing each other's trumpets may be a criminal offence).

If you want advice or representation on the areas of work we actually do, then please give us a try. Call us, or write, or even email us (oh yes we're very computer literate, when we can work out how to switch the damned things on...)

All lawyers these days say they are approachable, responsive, and give no-nonsense, practical advice. So we better say the same. Some even say they have a task-oriented approach to problem solving, but we don't really know what that means, so we won't say that.

We also offer "Legal Aid" (as it used to be called), for matrimonial and family law, and certainly not many firms can say that round here these days...

Many firms say they offer a personal service, too. Well, we really do. Indeed you may even find that one of the "Partners" (i.e., the "bosses") answers the phone. (That's because we're so small that we sometimes have to, as a trade-off for the occasional cup of tea grudgingly made for us - occasionally - by "the staff").

Go on, give it a try - you might be lucky and get straight through to the organ-grinder. This is good for you because you get immediate access to the person who is supposed to be looking after your work. (It's sometimes bad for us however, as we can't just say "tell him I'm not here" when we want a quiet and interruption-free afternoon...)
