About us
Browns Solicitors was established in 2015 when Jane Lodeto and Jane Elgar took over the high street element of Liddell + Company’s firm, which had previously acquired the long-standing Benfleet practice of John Brown and Company in 2007. Based in Tarpots, Benfleet, we are a proud, local firm deeply rooted in the community. Under the leadership of Jane Lodeto, who has lived in Benfleet most of her life, we continue to build on the strong connections we've forged over the years with local residents and businesses.
At Browns Solicitors, our mission is to offer excellent legal services delivered in a friendly, approachable, and empathetic manner. We combine traditional values with a modern outlook, tailoring our approach to meet the unique needs of each individual client. We understand that every case is different, which is why we take the time to get to know you and provide exceptional advice and support to achieve the best possible outcome.
We are dedicated to delivering excellent customer service and offer flexible appointment options, including Saturday morning availability via appointment, to suit our clients' busy lives. Our office at Tarpots is easily accessible with parking available, and we’re pleased to offer appointments both in-person, remotely, or, when needed, through home visits within the local area.
