About David Gray Solicitors

David Gray Solicitors was started in 1979 when David Gray left the Newcastle Law Centre and set up in practice in a small office on Grainger Street. The firm has now grown to be the largest single site practice specialising in publicly funded law in the North East.

Although the firm has grown to 9 partners and approximately 70 staff, we have tried to keep to the original philosophy of providing legal services to the least advantaged sections of society and provide the same quality of service under the Legal Aid Scheme as to those clients who pay privately.

Our size means we are able to offer a degree of specialist expertise not available in smaller firms. When you instruct one of our partners, solicitors or legal assistants, you will be dealing with someone who specialises in that area of law, rather than being a "jack of all trades”. Our expertise, size and structure enable us to offer a highly personal service at very competitive rates.

We were one of the very first firms in the North East to be granted Community Legal Service (previously known as Legal Aid) Franchises and now hold Legal Service Commission Specialist Quality Mark Status in all of the areas of publicly funded law undertaken.
