About Lancashire Law.

We originally established in 2004 and was previously known as DTP Solicitors. We aim to provide you with a professional and efficient service. We are large enough to offer you a full range of expert legal services but small enough to care about our clients and provide a friendly individual service specific to each client's needs. We understand how important it is that legal matters are dealt with promptly and we aim to respond within the working day to your telephone requests and have a 48 hour turn-around on incoming post.
