Google review

I would like to bring to your attention the excellent work carried out by Tia McAleese. I contacted Leathes Prior after a recommendation, and I must say that from the first call with Rose Woolterton back at the end of September through to Tia's near completion of my case, the whole process has been smooth and very professional. Tia has explained the whole process as she has worked her way through it. She has also been very mindful of my feelings, as the situation of being suspended from work has had a profound effect on my mental health. Tia is a real credit to the company, and I will always be so grateful for her hard work and professionalism, which has led to an excellent settlement agreement for me.

Client feedback

Very professional and efficient team. The advice was clear and easy to understand making the all process smooth and in-line with my expectations. Cannot fault any point throughout my process.
