A Greater Manchester Firm Next Door to Salford
Prime Legal Solicitors has advised clients across Greater Manchester since 2008, and Salford is one of the closest communities to our city-centre office. Our head office is at Milkstone Road in Rochdale, but our Manchester office at 125 Deansgate is only a short hop over the River Irwell, so for many people in Salford it is nearer than their own town hall. We act for individuals, families and local businesses throughout the city.
Salford has its own character: established neighbourhoods in Broughton, Kersal and Pendleton, growing communities around Salford Quays and MediaCityUK, and towns such as Eccles, Swinton and Walkden. We take time to understand where you live and what is going on in your life, because that shapes the advice that actually helps you.
Several Areas of Law Under One Roof
People in Salford contact us about separation and children, accidents on the roads or at work, visa and settlement questions, tenancy problems and planning for the future. Whatever brings you to us, you'll speak to a qualified solicitor who explains your options in plain English and sets out realistic next steps.
Legal problems rarely stay in one box. A separation can raise questions about a rented flat in Salford Quays, a family home in Worsley, or a parent's immigration status. Because our team covers family, property, immigration and injury work, we can look at the whole picture and coordinate the different parts, rather than sending you to several firms.
Clear Costs, Direct Contact and Honest Advice
Three things guide how we work with Salford clients: being open about costs, giving you direct contact with the solicitor running your matter, and telling you honestly where you stand. You can see how we approach charges on our pricing page.
You deal with the same named solicitor from your first conversation to the end of your case, so you don't have to repeat your story to new people. We explain costs before work starts and tell you promptly if anything changes, so there are no surprises when a bill arrives.

Getting to Us from Salford
Our Manchester office at 125 Deansgate is a few minutes from Salford by train from Salford Central or Salford Crescent, or by Metrolink on the Eccles line, which runs from Eccles, MediaCityUK and Salford Quays into the city centre via St Peter's Square. The office is around five minutes' walk from St Peter's Square tram stop, and many people from Chapel Street and Greengate simply walk across the Irwell.

Four Stages From First Call to Conclusion
We want you to understand where your matter is heading from the start. Here is how a typical case runs, from our first conversation to the point where it is resolved, so you can plan around work, family and anything else going on in your life.
Free Initial Consultation
First, we listen. You tell us what has happened and what you want to achieve, in confidence and with no obligation. This can be at 125 Deansgate, by video or by phone, whichever is easiest from Salford.
Clear Strategy & Cost Information
Next, we set out the options as we see them, the likely steps and timescales, and what the work is likely to cost. Where a fixed fee, hourly rate or staged payments apply, we explain this in writing before any work begins.
Professional Representation
Then your solicitor takes the matter forward: gathering documents and evidence, corresponding with the other side, negotiating, and preparing for court where that is needed. We keep you updated as things develop.
Resolution
Finally, we aim to bring your matter to a sensible conclusion, by agreement, mediation or a court decision, keeping you informed of your options and the realistic prospects at each stage along the way.

Salford FAQs
Questions Salford Clients Often Ask
Here are answers to questions that come up regularly from people in Salford, Eccles, Swinton and nearby. If your question isn't covered, call or message us and we will talk it through with you at an initial consultation.
1. Where will my Salford family case be heard?
Divorce, child arrangements, financial remedy, domestic abuse injunctions, housing possession and money claims from Salford are generally dealt with at Manchester Civil Justice Centre, 1 Bridge Street West, by the River Irwell. Your court papers will always confirm the venue, and we can explain what each hearing involves.
2. Is your Deansgate office easy to reach from Salford Quays or Eccles?
Yes. Our Manchester office is at 125 Deansgate, around five minutes' walk from St Peter's Square Metrolink. Trams on the Eccles line run from Eccles, MediaCityUK and Salford Quays into the city centre, and trains from Salford Central and Salford Crescent take only a few minutes. Visits are by appointment.
3. Which court deals with a motoring offence in Salford?
Motoring and other criminal cases from Salford are usually heard at Manchester Magistrates' Court in Crown Square; the old Manchester and Salford Magistrates' Court listing is no longer in service. Check your summons or postal requisition for the exact court and date, and contact us early so there is time to prepare.
4. Do you help people in Swinton, Eccles and Irlam?
Yes. We regularly help people from Swinton, Eccles, Pendlebury, Walkden, Worsley and Irlam. You can come to Deansgate, which is easy to reach via the M602 or by tram from Eccles, or deal with us by phone, email and video so you don't need to travel unless it is useful.
5. Will I deal with the same solicitor throughout?
Yes. You will have a named solicitor who handles your case from start to finish, and you can contact them directly by phone or email. They will keep you updated and explain each step, so you are not passed between different members of staff.
6. Can I have my appointment by video instead?
Yes. Video and phone appointments work well for many Salford clients, particularly for early advice and updates. Documents can be signed and identity checks completed through our secure online onboarding, and you can still meet in person at 125 Deansgate when that helps.
7. Are you regulated by the SRA?
Yes. Prime Legal Solicitors is authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, SRA number 834471. You can check our entry on the SRA register at www.sra.org.uk, and our solicitors hold practising certificates issued by the SRA.
8. What if my Salford matter is urgent?
Tell us how urgent your matter is when you first get in touch, for example if you have a hearing date, a deadline or a safety concern. We will try to arrange an initial appointment quickly and explain straight away what needs to happen first.
