About Us

Our history

Fonseca Law was founded in 1938 by Mr Amador Fonseca, solicitor, and has been providing a wide range of legal services both in South Wales and nationally ever since. The firm has expanded somewhat since its early days but still retains the personal touch.

The firm incorporated in 2007 and became Fonsecalaw Limited, but we trade, and are still known as, Fonseca Law

Personal ethos

We are a firm who pride ourselves on being accessible to all. We believe that client care and customer service are paramount. We remain committed to providing a full range of legal services to the local community. We also pride ourselves on equality and diversity and will never discriminate against a person based on their sex, gender, sexual orientation, religion, race, age, or disability.

Serving Ebbw Vale and beyond

Based in Ebbw Vale, we are easy to reach from the Valleys and throughout South Wales. We are very near to Brynmawr, Abertillery and Tredegar, and about half-way between Merthyr Tydfil and Abergavenny, around 20 minutes’ drive from each (see location map).

The firm moved to a modern central building in Ebbw Vale in 2003 from our old offices in County Buildings. We now have excellent facilities for appointments and conferences, but any of our solicitors are happy to visit clients at home should they wish. 

Wide legal expertise

As we are a general practice each of the solicitors in the firm is able to assist you in more than one area of law and we can often arrange it so that your solicitor acts for you in whatever legal matter you may have.
