Graham Coffey & Co Solicitors

What Graham Coffey & Co Solicitors does

Express Solicitors is a UK-based specialist personal injury law firm founded in 1999, operating from offices in Manchester (headquarters, with two addresses — South Court, Sharston Road and Resolution House, Palatine Road), Liverpool (Yorkshire House, Chapel Street), and London (Golden Cross House, Duncannon Street, by prior appointment). The firm exclusively represents individual claimants in personal injury matters, with primary practice areas covering workplace accidents (physical injuries, occupational diseases, industry-specific claims), road traffic accidents (car, cycling, motorbike, pedestrian, public transport), medical negligence (misdiagnosis, surgical errors, birth injury, sepsis, vaginal mesh), and general personal injury (public liability, serious injury, slips/trips/falls, sports injuries, abuse, fatal accidents, holiday and travel claims). Adjacent practice areas include criminal injuries compensation, housing disrepair, data breach claims, and civil liberties cases. Service delivery relies on standard legal practice and case management technology; no proprietary technology platform is described.

The firm operates exclusively on a 100% No-Win-No-Fee (Conditional Fee Agreement) basis, covering all legal costs upfront and collecting fees only on successful outcomes; specific contingency percentages are not publicly disclosed. Customer acquisition is direct-to-consumer via dedicated phone lines (0161 904 4661 new claims, 0161 904 4660 existing clients, 0203 900 2866 London), an online contact form, in-office consultations, and a case-takeover service that markets the ability to assume conduct of ongoing claims from other solicitors at any stage. Marketing infrastructure spans content marketing (blog, client stories), organic search (extensive SEO-optimised landing pages for individual claim categories), Trustpilot integration, and earned media.

The firm claims over 1,000 years of combined legal expertise and reports that 99% of cases recover more compensation than the insurer's first offer. Accreditations and rankings include The Times Best Law Firms, The Legal 500, Chambers and Partners, The Lawyer Top 200, The Law Society, APIL (Association of Personal Injury Lawyers), and SCIL (Society of Claim Intensive Lawyers). Charitable support partnerships with Headway (brain injury charity) and AvMA (Action against Medical Accidents) extend the client support ecosystem beyond legal representation. The firm is privately held with no disclosed external investors, parent company, or equity structure; leadership is headed by CEO James Maxley.
