Our team of Solicitors & Lawyers

Paul Simon Rossiter is the Managing Director of PSR Solicitors. After working in various law firms, both small high street firms and a larger practice in Manchester, he saw a gap in the market for a high quality practice that had the same core high street values of being personable and approachable and combining them with the efficiency and professionalism of a larger practice.  PSR Solicitors was therefore established in 2009 in Shotton, Deeside with this aim. Since then PSR Solicitors has provided high quality legal services to local clients throughout North Wales and Cheshire.  

Paul Simon Rossiter is a member of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers and is accredited by the Solicitors’ Regulation Authority as a Senior Personal Injury Solicitor.
