Bridge Solicitors

Since our inception, we at Bridge Solicitors have been dedicated to understanding your priorities and working towards them. We are mindful of the fact that very few people need to visit a solicitor unless they are facing a difficult situation or need help with a concerning issue. We strive to ensure that even after your first consultation, you will feel that you have been heard, that we have given clear and understandable advice and have alleviated some of the worry and uncertainty that you may be experiencing.

At Bridge Solicitors, we believe in building personal connections and investing in our clients' cases. We aim to establish trust with you, engage with you in a warm and friendly manner and remember that, while we can give advice and explain options, the final decision is always yours. We also understand the importance of finding new ways to help our clients, which is why we offer services such as:

• Using email to communicate with you, so that you have a clear record of correspondence and to save you from making unnecessary trips to our office.
• Staying open late until 7.00 pm on Thursdays so that you do not have to take time off work for appointments and facilitating other after-hours appointments if required.
• Accepting payments with your credit or debit card for security and ease.

We want to hear from you and value your feedback. Let us know what we can do better and what you want from your solicitor.

Our Team

Rachael McKee, Principal

Rachael McKee entered the legal profession through a somewhat roundabout route in 2007. After several failed attempts to become a History Teacher, she decided to become a dedicated legal secretary instead. She found the work challenging and interesting and eventually agreed to undertake a Law Degree in 2002. In 2005, she gained admission to the Institute of Professional Legal Studies and graduated with Distinction in 2007. Rachael has extensive experience in all areas of general practice but is particularly interested in personal injury litigation, both County Court and High Court, and matrimonial and family cases. She has significant experience in Wills and administration of estates, which appeals to her methodical side and allows her to help people deal with difficult matters during difficult times.

When Rachael is not working, she enjoys attending pub quizzes, hosting dinner parties, traveling, and attending music festivals.
