Trusted Legal Guidance for You and Your Family
Here at Jacobs Solicitors, we take pride in our long history of serving the people of Ellesmere Port and Chester. Since our humble beginnings in 1986, we have grown to become a respected and trusted name in the legal community. Our founder, Maurice Jacobs, was a well-known and well-loved figure in the town, and his legacy continues to inspire us today.
Our Story
Jacobs Solicitors was founded by Maurice Jacobs, a well-established lawyer with a passion for helping others. After many years of practicing law in Ellesmere Port, Maurice decided to establish his own firm, Jacobs & Co, in 1986. Under his leadership, the firm flourished, and Maurice became a respected figure in the community. Sadly, Maurice passed away in 2005, but his legacy lives on through the firm, which is now led by Ms. Sue Burton and Mr. Steven Alis.
