Solicitors in Rochdale

Rochdale is a town in Greater Manchester with a population of around 100,000. The town is largely residential and as a result there are relatively few specialist business solicitors in Rochdale.  

The town is served by criminal and civil courts which deal with the disputes of Rochdale. Solicitors in criminal law will usually attend the magistrates’ court more frequently than the Crown Court as this is where more common low level cases are heard. Rochdale Magistrates’ Court can be found at The Courthouse, PO Box 8, Town Meadows, Rochdale, Lancashire, OL16 1AR.

The County Court of Rochdale was closed and as a result residents must make applications and attend either Bury or Oldham County Court for civil claims. If you wish to make a civil claim then you should get assistance with following protocol and completing forms from a firm of solicitors. In Rochdale, the application to the court should only be made following contact with the other side informing them of your intention to take legal action. Failure to do this can mean that any damages awarded by the court are reduced.

It is always recommended that if you are involved in a legal case, you instruct solicitors. In Rochdale, if you decide not to instruct solicitors, you may be able to obtain some basic advice from the Citizens Advice Bureau located at 104-106 Drake Street, Rochdale, OL16 1PQ. You should be aware that the CAB may not be able to provide you with in depth advice and are unlikely to be able to provide you with representation.
