Personal Injury
Has an accident at work caused you injury or ill-health? Maybe an injury due to motor accident? Pickworths lawyers have years of experience dealing in these and many other types of negligence claims.

Members of the Law Society's Personal Injury Panel and of Accident Line, Pickworths will ensure you acheive the best possible settlement.

Planning for the Future
As none of us can guarentee the future, a wise person plans carefully. At Pickworths we believe that this should include reviewing your will from time to time, making an Enduring Power of Attorney, tax and financial planning etc.

Services are tailored to your individual needs.

Probate & Wills
It is always a good time to make a will. To die without one may leave your dependents in a tricky financial situation. And by doing so you ensure that the allocation of your estate will be decided by the courts.

If you require Pickworths to act as professional Executor, this can also be arranged.
