Litigation & Dispute Resolution

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.

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.

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 like your style! Thank you for your excellent advice and help. It has been a pleasure to join forces with you and I can assure you that I already have and will continue to recommend you to my acquaintances.

They have a very progressive attitude and, regardless of the problem we present them with, their initial view is always of a reassuring nature.

Many thanks for the excellent work you have done in resolving our recent tenancy issue. It was conducted in a very professional manner, plus your advice on the problem was first class. I would have no hesitation in recommending Leathes Prior Solicitors to anyone.

I was very satisfied with the work done for me by Danny Turpin. It was a small traffic claim and could easily have been scorned as not interesting or profitable but Danny took it seriously and was wise and measured in his advice. Having left it to me to decide on what to do, he proceeded promptly and efficiently. This produced a good result. I would instruct him again. Having practiced law myself for many years, I see him as an energetic and effective young man, a credit to the firm we instruct on other matters.

I would just like to say that you have over the past three years on this matter looked after me exceptionally well. Thank you.

A well-respected, commercial litigation practice with a broad coverage. Extensive experience of agriculture, franchising, intellectual property and professional negligence cases with clients ranging from individuals to international corporates. Everyone you deal with there is straightforward.

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 struggle to find adequate words to describe how impressed we have been with the professional yet extremely friendly service we have experienced from you both. You have always been calming and friendly ears both via email and phone. Nothing has been too much trouble. We do, and will continue to sing your praises to family, friends and colleagues and recommend your services, you are both a credit to Leathes Prior.

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.

It’s been a pleasure working with you both and others at Leathes Prior over the years, your wealth of expertise and excellent service has been greatly appreciated.
