About

Paul Darnborough Legal is run by myself, Paul Darnborough.

I served as a Solicitor with over 35 years of experience in the Law. I entered the legal profession to help people, and this is still my motivation and drive.
I am a trained advocate and a trained mind with skills inside and outside the courtroom.

In my 35 years in the legal profession, I have seen how important listening, preparation, and experience are, and can offer you a comfortable and attentive service, empathic to your needs.

I consider it a privilege to be able to use my legal skills and experience in a significant and positive way.

A Life in Law has Taught Me…

  • It’s almost never as bad as it seems
  • There is always a result and you will get through it.
  • If I can help you and solve your legal problem I’d be glad to.
  • If I can’t I will tell you so and recommend the best person for you. If I know them.
  • I will not turn a £1000 problem into a £2000 bill and the rest. An agreed price will be stuck to. If you follow my advice. The rest well you’re paying for it.
  • Just for you. Free telephone consultations are available.
