Criminal Defence

I am happy with the outcome and more than happy with your dealing of the matter. I found your manner and attitude absolutely as I would have liked it to be. I do not have any criticisms at all. Thank you for all your energy and attention to our case.

I wanted to thank you for your dedication to my case and your excellent presentation to the magistrates on my behalf. Without your services I would not be driving today. I thought the way you approached the challenge of achieving a successful outcome for me was a masterpiece of strategy, planning and delivery. It was so interesting to watch you take the magistrates eloquently 'by the hand' through the maze of events and diverse facts that constituted my defence. Every "dot and t" was crossed with no stone left unturned. Your diligence, creativity and thorough investigations were exemplary and left no quarter for ambiguity at any stage of the proceedings. Furthermore the defence bundles that you prepared were also a masterclass in both presentation and logical progression, and presented a daunting collection of hard evidence and background information to the magistrates which helped my defence significantly and shaped their response in a sympathetic and positive way. If there was a prize for the most accomplished defence of a client in a driving conviction case, you would certainly win it! Thanks to Leathes Prior for being so accommodating.

I am really pleased with this outcome and hopefully now breathe a sigh of relief and continue with life as normal with my family from now on. I have always regarded Leathes Prior to be one of the best solicitors in Norwich and was very pleased with the service received. The solicitor that was assigned to me namely Tej Thakkar was very professional to say the least. His conduct and advice was first class and I would thoroughly recommend him and Leathes Prior to anyone.

Since employing the services of Leathes Prior some 15 years ago to handle the MBO on mine and my colleagues behalf the service provided has been second to none. Whether it be advice regarding employment law, commercial & corporate matters on every occasion the professionalism has been exemplary as well as being very approachable and with a ‘never too much trouble’ attitude. So impressed were we that I and my wife use them to handle our personal matters on which for the first time just recently we were afforded the services of Tej Thakkar who impressed me immensely. He was very knowledgeable, professional and explained things in layman’s term that made it easier to understand. I would without any hesitation whatsoever recommend Leathes Prior’
