Company History
Stock Moran & Swalwell is a specialist criminal defence practice based in the town centre of Wigan. Situated at 30 Market Place, Wigan, Lancashire WN1 1PJ, they list three partners — William Swalwell, Anthony Stock and Peter Moran all with decades of experience in criminal defence.

- Magistrates’ and Crown Court criminal representation: As a dedicated criminal defence firm, they handle cases in court for clients who satisfy the means and merits tests for legal aid.
- Motoring offences/road traffic work: Some of their solicitors are noted as experienced in driving-offence work — often a legal aid-eligible area depending on seriousness and location.
