History
Wolferstans has been established since 1812 when Samuel Kelly, an Attorney at Law, commenced practice at The Barbican, Plymouth. By 1836 his sons, J & W Kelly were the Partners. John Kelly became a Justice of the Peace, Mayor and Alderman, in addition to being a Master Extra in Chancery, Secretary of Sutton Harbour Improvement Company and the local Marine Board. In 1873 Thomas Wolferstan joined the firm which became Kelly & Wolferstan.
As a result of strategic mergers, today Wolferstans is a streamlined and progressive South West practice with its head office at Deptford Chambers. Targeted expansion is ongoing to ensure that a high level of service is delivered and that our clients' needs and expectations are met.
