A Greater Manchester Firm Since 2008
Prime Legal Solicitors has acted for people across Greater Manchester since 2008, and Stockport is a short train ride from our office at 125 Deansgate. Our head office is at Milkstone Road in Rochdale, but most Stockport clients meet us in Manchester city centre or speak to us by video. We act for individuals, families and local businesses from Stockport town centre to the edges of the borough.
Many Stockport matters end up at The Courthouse on Edward Street, which houses both the County Court and Family Court and the Magistrates' Court. Knowing how those courts list hearings, and when a family case may instead be dealt with at the Manchester Civil Justice Centre, helps us prepare you for what happens next. We also deal regularly with Stockport Council on housing and tenancy questions.
Family, Injury, Immigration and Property Help Under One Roof
Stockport clients come to us with separations and child arrangements, injury claims after collisions on the A6 or M60, visa and settlement applications, and questions about wills and probate. You will deal with a qualified solicitor who explains your options in plain language and focuses on the practical next steps for you.
Because we cover several areas of law, we can spot where one issue affects another. A divorce involving a jointly owned house in Bramhall, or a probate estate that includes a let flat in Edgeley, may need family, property and estate advice together. We handle that within one team, so you are not passed between different firms.
Clear Costs, a Named Solicitor and Regular Updates
Three commitments shape how we work with Stockport clients: clear information on costs, direct contact with the solicitor running your case, and honest advice about your position. You can find our published pricing information on our pricing page.
You will know who is handling your matter from the first call. The same solicitor stays with your file through to the end, so you do not have to repeat your story, and you will be told promptly if anything changes in the cost or timing of your case.
Getting to Us from Stockport Town Centre and Beyond
By Train, Tram, Car or Video Call
Stockport clients usually meet us at 125 Deansgate. Trains from Stockport station to Manchester Piccadilly run frequently and take roughly 10 to 15 minutes; from Piccadilly you can walk or take the Metrolink to St Peter's Square, around five minutes on foot from our door. Drivers can use the A6 Wellington Road or the M60, and the A34 and A555 serve Cheadle and Bramhall.

Meeting Options for Stockport Clients
You can see us in person at our Deansgate office by appointment, or talk to us by video or phone from home in Stockport. Many people find a video call easier around work or school runs, and there is no difference in the advice you receive. If you would prefer a face-to-face meeting, we will book a time that fits your train or tram.
Documents can be shared securely online, so you do not need to travel to sign forms or hand over papers. Clients in Marple, Romiley and Bredbury often choose remote meetings for this reason.

Four Stages, Explained in Advance
We set out what will happen at each stage of your matter before it starts, so you can plan around hearings, deadlines and costs. If something changes, we tell you straight away and explain why.
Free Initial Consultation
First, we listen to what has happened and what you want to achieve. The initial consultation is confidential and there is no obligation to go further. It can take place at Deansgate, by video or by phone, whichever is easier from Stockport.
Clear Strategy & Transparent Fees
Next, we explain the approach we recommend and give you a written estimate of costs. Payment options are set out clearly at the start, so there are no surprises later in your case.
Professional Representation
Your solicitor then handles the paperwork, gathers evidence, deals with the other side and, if your case goes to court in Stockport or Manchester, prepares you for the hearing and represents you. You receive regular updates throughout.
Resolution
Finally, we work towards resolving your matter, whether by agreement, mediation or a court decision. We will give you a realistic view of the likely options at every stage, without promising a particular result.
Stockport and the Surrounding Districts
From Heaton Moor to Hazel Grove
We act for people throughout the Stockport borough, from the town centre and Edgeley to the suburbs along the A6 and A34. Our Deansgate office is close to the main train links from Stockport, and remote appointments mean distance is rarely a barrier.
Districts we regularly help include Stockport town centre, Cheadle, Cheadle Hulme, Bramhall, Gatley, Heaton Moor, Hazel Grove, Marple, Bredbury and Romiley, as well as neighbouring parts of South Manchester and Tameside.
Living Further Afield?
If you live elsewhere in Greater Manchester, Cheshire or the wider North West, you are welcome to contact us. Much of our work can be handled by video, phone and secure online documents, so we may still be able to help even if you are outside the Stockport area.
We also serve: Manchester, Rochdale, Salford, and Yorkshire offices.
Areas we also cover: Bolton, Wigan, Salford and Rochdale. See all our Greater Manchester solicitors pages.

2. Will my Stockport divorce be heard at Edward Street?
Most divorce applications are now made online, and many never need a hearing. Where a hearing is needed, it may be listed at Stockport County Court and Family Court on Edward Street, or at the Manchester Civil Justice Centre. The court's paperwork will confirm the venue, and we will explain what to expect.
3. Where are child arrangements cases for Stockport families heard?
Child arrangements applications for Stockport families can be heard at the Edward Street courthouse, although some family cases in Greater Manchester are handled at the Manchester Civil Justice Centre on Bridge Street West. Your court papers will confirm where your hearing is. We help you prepare and can attend with you. See our child arrangements page.
4. Can you help at Stockport Magistrates' Court?
Yes. Motoring cases from the Stockport area are often listed at Stockport Magistrates' Court, in The Courthouse on Edward Street. Some minor offences are dealt with in writing under the single justice procedure. We can explain your options and the possible penalties, and represent you at court if needed.
5. Will I deal with the same solicitor throughout?
Yes. The solicitor who takes on your matter stays with it from the first meeting to the end, and you can contact them directly. That way you do not need to explain your situation again to different people, and your solicitor knows the details of your case.

Our Regulation and Accreditations
Why Our Accreditations Matter

What Each Accreditation Means
SRA Regulation

This ensures we meet strict professional standards and offer you comprehensive client protection. Furthermore, this regulation is monitored and enforced throughout our operations. Notably, the SRA can investigate complaints and enforce standards.

Additionally, this accreditation requires us to maintain continuing professional development. Moreover, we must follow best practice guidelines and submit to regular audits. Consequently, your family law matter is handled to the highest standard.
