With a reputation for providing fantastic client care, you'll find that our legal teams take a pro-active approach, keeping you fully informed at every stage of your case and allowing you to feel in complete control of your case.
Donald Race & Newton Solicitors has an impressive reputation stemming from the company's rich heritage, vast legal experience and strong customer values. The original office, located at 10 Hargreaves Street in Burnley, consisted of just two rooms - the principal's office and the enquiry office. Mr Race employed 14-year-old Wilfred Newton and, three years later, 15-year-old George Horn was also welcomed aboard the staff.
We have taken great care to recruit only the very best lawyers in the area who share our commitment to client care and have a genuine passion for helping people.

Our abuse claim solicitors are highly proficient in pursuing the recompense you are due, without ever compromising your safety or protection.

Spoke to a solicitor. Very rude on the phone, abrupt and sarcastic. Only interested in your money. £255 an hour! No thank you, rather spend that on somebody with better customer service skills.

We recently used DRN to process new wills and Power of attorney. The solicitor was very helpful and answered all our questions so we fully understand exactly what we were doing. We could not have had a better experience. Thank you for making this difficult process so easy for us.

I have recently used DRN for probate applications and conveyancing. They have at all times been professional in their approach and have provided excellent information and advice.
I can recommend their services.

Very expensive notary service. Quoted me £240 for a simple witness signatory. Paid £120 at another well rated notary!

Very disappointed with them, slow to act, uncommunicative, they knew about issues but never bothered to tell us so nothing got done, full of excuses, miss led us on more than one occasion.
Promises not kept, I could go on.
Can't recommend and will not use again.

After losing buyers twice due to an incompetent solicitor, we changed to DRN and never looked back. Gillian Sharp was amazing, friendly and professional. She is certainly an asset to the company. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Very pleased with the conveyancing service provided by Rebecca. Very responsive - I never had to call up to chase the work. I would definitely use this firm again.
