About Lancashire Law
We were originally established in 2004 and were previously known as DTP Solicitors. We aim to provide you with a professional and efficient service. We are large enough to offer you a full range of expert legal services but small enough to care about our clients and provide a friendly individual service specific to each client’s needs. We understand how important it is that legal matters are dealt with promptly and we aim to respond within the working day to your telephone requests and have a 48 hour turn-around on incoming post.

Belinda Thomasson
Solicitor and Director
belinda.thomasson@lancslaw.co.uk
Before becoming a Director in Lancashire Law and prior to qualifying as a Solicitor, Belinda worked as a Team manager within the Mortgage Department for a large Bank. Following her admission to the Roll as a Solicitor, she spent some time working for a large firm in Manchester before deciding to settle her career within the local area. Belinda is passionate about helping local people and prides herself on being down to earth and approachable. It is this approach which has led to Belinda being the appointed Solicitor for many local people. Belinda is herself a local girl, having lived in the Shaw area for most of her life. Belinda’s children have both attended local schools in the Shaw, Oldham area.
Belinda’s specialist areas are Property Law, Commercial and Private Client work including Wills, Probate/Estate Administration, Court of Protection and Powers of Attorney.

In Ellie’s spare time, you will find her loyally supporting her beloved Burnley Football Club, shopping at Zara or taking photos of her cockapoo, Daisy.
