Our People
Our aim is to provide a personal, individual service in a clear and friendly way, without compromising the quality of advice. We do this by combining highly qualified and experienced solicitors with carefully selected support staff. Chris Milne is a member of the specialist organisations, STEP, Solicitors For the Elderly and the Law Society's Private Client Section. Louise Martin is a member of Resolution, an organisation which represents experienced, family law solicitors who practise in an ethical way and Joanne Thomas has a wealth of experience in all manner of property matters, throughout the county. Onions & Davies is going through a period of modernisation to ensure that the quality legal advice that has been provided over the last 250 years can continue to be delivered well into the future. Whether you wish to save inheritance tax or care fees or you have a problem at work, or whether you are getting divorced or are moving house, we would be happy to help. Please contact us for more information - you will be surprised at the range of advice we provide.

He is a member of STEP (The Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners), Solicitors for the Elderly and the Law Society's Private Client Section and a frequent speaker for charities (Mencap, Worcestershire Association of Carers, etc.), community and professional groups.

Outside work, Chris enjoys spending time with his wife and three children, is an active member of his local church and, to keep fit, is a regular fencer.
