Our People
Work: I founded Harrison’s Solicitors in 2003 with a view to providing a friendly informal service to the public while at the same time retaining high standards and professionalism. The firm has grown significantly since the early days when I was by myself. We now have over 12 highly trained and motivated staff working in three different offices. My role as senior partner is to ensure that we maintain high standards of professionalism and customer service while nurturing the staff to achieve their full potential.
