Stephen has a particular interest in pensions and successfully advises on professional negligence. He is a highly skilled court advocate, but keeps jargon to a minimum and recognises the importance of dealing with clients sensitively and calmly
Derek G
They are excellent family law solicitors who provided effective and timely support and advice. They are not only professional but have empathy and integrity, and I wouldn’t have got through the past eighteen months without Clare and Stephen and the team. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Pinnington Law to anyone who is in need of a solicitor.
Ellie F
I can truly recommend Pinnington Law regarding legal representation. I have recently finalised my divorce and the support from Stephen was second to none. It wasn’t a very straight forward process from a personal point of view, but I do believe the help and representation I received made a very stressful process easier to deal with.
I can’t thank Stephen enough for his care, compassion and professionalism in dealing with my case. I could not have expected a better outcome.
