# Blackburn & Co Solicitors

Blackburn & Co is a legal practice based in Dorchester, Wessex, specialising in claim assessment and litigation support. Operating from Trinity Street, the firm serves clients throughout the region who believe they may have grounds for legal action but are uncertain about pursuing claims.

The practice distinguishes itself through an exceptionally accessible approach to initial client engagement. Rather than imposing financial barriers, Blackburn & Co offers a no-obligation consultation lasting a minimum of 30 minutes, during which the team evaluates the merits of potential claims. Crucially, clients never personally pay for this initial assessment—should a claim proceed and succeed, the opponent covers consultation costs; if the claim doesn't proceed, the consultation remains entirely free. This removes financial risk from the decision-making process.

Led by principal John Blackburn and supported by solicitors Christine Harley and Mitchell Newton, along with practice manager Denise Blackburn, the firm demonstrates genuine commitment to understanding each client's circumstances thoroughly. The team can be reached via phone or email during standard business hours (Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm).

The firm's core strength lies in demystifying the claims process for individuals uncertain whether legal action is warranted. By offering substantive, free preliminary advice without hidden obligations, Blackburn & Co removes common barriers to accessing legal counsel, making justice more achievable for ordinary people facing potential claims.
