RJW Legal is a modern, client-focused law firm dedicated to helping individuals, families, and professionals navigate complex legal issues with clarity, compassion, and confidence.

Founded by solicitor Richard Okolo, RJW Legal specialises in:

Mental Health Law

Court of Protection (health, welfare, and property matters)

Commercial and Residential Property legal advice

With over 14 years of post-qualification experience, Richard and his team bring a wealth of legal knowledge and real-world understanding to every case. He is a Law Society Accredited Mental Health Panel Member and regularly advises on cases involving capacity, care disputes, and vulnerable adults.

We believe legal services should be accessible, human, and ethical. Whether you're seeking representation in the Court of Protection or preparing a will, we will work with you honestly and professionally — explaining your options and protecting your interests every step of the way.

At RJW Legal, we know that legal issues are often emotional and complex. That’s why we take the time to listen, explain your options in plain language, and provide tailored advice based on your needs. We offer a personal, one-to-one service — no call centres, no layers of gatekeeping — just trusted legal support, when and where you need it.

How We Work

At RJW Legal, we aim to make the legal process clear and straightforward. Here’s what you can expect when working with us:

Get in touch – Contact us by phone, email, or through our website. Let us know your situation and the type of help you need.

Initial consultation – We’ll arrange a preliminary discussion (by phone, video call, or in person) to understand your needs and explain how we can assist.

Clear advice & next steps – We’ll outline your legal options, agree on fees (fixed or hourly, as appropriate), and provide a clear plan for your case.

Formal engagement – Once you’re happy to proceed, we’ll confirm everything in writing, including scope of work, timescales, and costs.

Ongoing support – We keep you informed at every stage, ensuring you understand the process and feel supported throughout.
