Historical Links

The Partners and Staff of HODGSONS & MORTIMER have years of experience in providing a full range of legal services to the people of Darlington and Richmond. Historically our links in both towns go back to the turn of the Century.

Approachability

At HODGSONS & MORTIMER we realise that instructing a solicitor can in itself be a cause of great anxiety. We aim to remove that anxiety by working in a friendly and open style and by avoiding unnecessary complexity. On behalf of our Clients we will make proper investigations and communicate to them the issues that matter.

Width of Service - Depth of Experience - Quality of Service

Our experienced personnel who are able to assist our Clients with matters including:-

• Property and Estate Agency
  
  
• Landlord and Tenant Property issues
  
  
• Business and Commercial Law
  
  
• Wills, Probate and Trusts
  
  
• Litigation - including Personal Injury, Contractual Disputes and Employment Disputes

Each area of law has a specialised team but in keeping with our commonsense approach we ensure there is efficient liaison between our personnel as work often bridges areas of specialisation. In these cases an experienced solicitor will be directly responsible for your matter and will call upon the advice and assistance of colleagues.
