What our clients say
Many thanks for this Alison and huge thanks to you personally for all your help and Leathes Prior, we are thrilled with the service/representation we received and would highly recommend Leathes Prior to others.
I was able to authorise Leathes Prior to undertake the sale of two agricultural fields let out to tenants, and Alison has been able to complete the sale of both fields without any fuss. She has been totally professional, liaising with the tenants’ solicitors (as well as my mother’s solicitor) and managed to streamline the process. I should also add that Alison had a very positive style of dealing with me as a client, and it gave me confidence that the work was being completed (unlike the firm that had been dealing with it). This is the third estate that I have had to deal with as an executor in the last five years, and I have been so impressed with the high-quality service provided by Leathes Prior
I am writing to say that the service provided by Darren Bowen was excellent. His communications and explanations were very clear and I felt well guided by him throughout the dispute.
After various unsatisfactory dealings with different firms in the area, I was recommended to try Leathes Prior and have found every department I have dealt with has provided nothing short of an excellent service. I have used them now for a number of personal and business affairs and the knowledge, openness and competitive pricing puts them leagues ahead of the local competition. I wouldn't hesitate in using them in the future.
We cannot recommend Leathes Prior Solicitors enough, in particular Polly Langford. Throughout all our dealings with them we have received nothing but an efficient, thorough and impeccable service. Our matter was brought to a swift conclusion in a highly skilled and professional manner. 10/10. If you need a solicitor look no further than Leathes Prior.
It’s not a helpline, it’s a lifeline.
Harriet is a fantastic lawyer. She is incredibly knowledgeable but also kind. She was extremely responsive, kept me up to date and went out of her way to make sure I was OK. A true champion of mental health and so understanding of the impact being involved in contentious issues, particularly employment ones, can have. Dan also seamlessly stepped in when Harriet was on annual leave and I always felt I was in good hands. Everyone expects their lawyer to know the law but sadly what isn’t a given is compassion, value for money and a personal touch. Harriet (and Dan) gave me that and I am very grateful.
Dan Chapman is the best solicitor I've ever worked with. We've used him for years.
We have been working with the Leathes Prior Employment Team for 5 years. They have helped us with contract initiations, employee grievances, staff restructuring, and general HR support. Throughout our time working together they have been efficient, highly reactive, and respectful of our company's needs. I truly feel that the LP team is part of the DMD team after working so closely together over the years. We can’t recommend them enough and we would like to give a special thanks to Sarah Appleton for her devotion to our account and brutal honesty when it’s needed, as us as customers aren’t always right!
My confidence in the outcome was never in doubt as you guys are great, both in the preparation and the execution. I really enjoy working with you for your professionalism and your humour, both go a long way so thanks again.
We honestly could not have got through the year without your help.
Dealing with the death of a loved one and organising distribution of their estate is not an easy process. It can be time consuming and there are many avenues to explore and deal with. There may be pitfalls on the way and hurdles to negotiate but I can recommend Leathes Prior, particularly Pat and Billy and not forgetting Beth and Hannah who dealt with all aspects of my mother’s estate with the utmost care and consideration in a very professional and exemplary manner. Five stars and a ten out of ten rating are completely justified.
We used LP to undertake our first Wills and Jordan Walker couldn't have been more helpful and professional in providing advice and drafting our wills for us. Would thoroughly recommend.
Thank you for forwarding documentation confirming the positive outcome for my current case in your hands. You have conducted my affairs in a professional and most pleasant and friendly manner. Kind regards and once again, thank you.
I wanted to express our appreciation of the way you supported us over the Will dispute and achieved a satisfactory outcome. Next Tuesday is the second anniversary of my brother's death and for the first time, I can think about him without worrying about the Will problem.
We just wanted to take time to say 'A big thank you' to you and your team at Leathes Prior for all the hard work you have put into achieving a great result with regard to our Will dispute. It has been a very hard and stressful 19 months since the death of my father. We put our faith in yourself and have been very happy and impressed with the manner in which you have dealt with our case. Your professionalism, knowledge and eloquence has clearly helped with achieving the successful result that has been obtained.
Once again, superb advice and wise counsel from Leathes Prior - this time a shout out for Patrick Gibney who has efficiently dealt with drafting our Wills in a most professional manner.
We have dealt with Leathes Prior Solicitors for many years and have always been very satisfied. Recently we have updated our Wills and as we are fast approaching 80 years of age, we were especially pleased with their expert knowledge and kind and friendly approach. Everything was explained in a very understanding way. We highly recommend Leathes Prior Solicitors.
We would like to express our appreciation and thanks for the friendly and professional way Jordan Walker updated our wills. She was both understanding and informative in her explanation of legal matters and we greatly appreciated the fact that she came to us to conduct matters. Many thanks and best wishes to her and the team at Leathes Prior.
Chris was amazing. My world was imploding and it was the worst time of my life and Chris was a calm and steady voice that I needed. He was reassuring, super helpful and gave me honest advice. He's also a human being. What I mean by that is he spoke to me like a person and not just a number. Was never pompous or baffling me with long words and legalese.
We can not thank Darren enough for the way he handled our claim. He was an extremely calming influence and led us through every step of the way with the upmost respect and trust. We would highly recommend using Darren and indeed Leathes Prior in general and we are grateful for their professionalism and hard work.
