Howarth Maitland Solicitors

Howarth Maitland Solicitors have been established in Bury for over one hundred years, providing legal services to both individuals and businesses alike.

We are a modern forward thinking firm and aim to provide a professional quality service but in an approachable and friendly way.

Although we operate an efficient IT based office, we understand the desirability of face to face contact between client and advisor and are therefore able to offer old fashioned values in the 21st century.
