James Walker at Leathes Prior recently managed a request for us and I couldn't recommend more. James is extremely knowledgeable and proactive in his approach. We really appreciate the time he took to understand our individual needs and provide clarification on areas we were unfamiliar with relating to our circumstances. Thank you James for actioning our request so quickly, and for your consistently high standards. We really appreciated the level of communication provided throughout. We will certainly look to use LP and James again for any future matters.
Client feedback
Just a quick note to say how excellent James Walker has been in supporting me with making a will. As a wheelchair user there can be barriers to working with any organisation, in terms of the need to visit an office. James was massively supportive and worked with me on the phone and online, and also visited my home himself so I could physically sign the will. A very good and emotionally intelligent service from James, for which I am grateful.

Fantastic, friendly, and professional service in preparing my Will from James at Leathes Prior. Couldn’t have been more straight forward and made what is usually a sombre task a pleasure.
