Leathes Prior recognises the importance of ensuring that older and vulnerable clients are treated with dignity, respect, and kindness at all times and that this applies also to their families and people representing them. We realise that there is a need to assess whether such clients may require additional consideration by being both sympathetic and sensitive to any issues they may have. Please see our Older and Vulnerable Client Care Policy here for further information.
Some of the work will be carried out by a team of Paralegals or Probate Executives who do much of the day-to-day work on cases. Although they are not legally qualified, they have between a year and 17 years' experience, have received extensive training within our firm and work under the direct supervision of a solicitor with at least 5 years post qualification experience.
what our clients say
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.
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 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.
I would like to pass my appreciation for the help and guidance with this case, and how much I really valued from you, your clear explanations, and calm approach even when telling me something I really didn't want to hear!
5 stars for 5 star service! THANK YOU, Patrick Gibney for your help and support.
Pat Gibney could not have been kinder, and more helpful and professional… A very nice man and a great solicitor… Thanks so much. Jan and David Austin.
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.
Excellent, professional and emotionally intelligent service provided around drawing up a will.
Our solicitor was Patrick Gibney but all staff were friendly. Very satisfied and they were very helpful and friendly. Would highly recommend.
Thank you so much for everything! We think you have done a great job! We can't quite believe its all done, but we know it is, thanks to your clear explanations, and good communication. Best wishes to you.
