About Us
We are unlike your average firm of Solicitors….
We have all worked at larger firms, but decided we preferred a more down to earth, friendly, approach with personal and regular contact; a direct dial number; a friendly face; fixed or capped fees and straight-forward jargon free advice from well qualified Solicitors.
It’s what we do best, so talk to us to see how we are…
At Four Oaks Legal Services (FOLS) we specialise in providing comprehensive legal services to individuals, as well as new and established businesses, their directors and owner/managers. We are an independent niche law firm that trades alongside Four Oaks Financial Services Limited. The benefit to our clients is that when financial advice is needed, alongside legal advice, these services are available under one roof.
