what our clients say
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I have no doubt that without your calm, professional approach to the whole ghastly affair I would have crumbled and the outcome would have been very different. I can never thank you enough. You saved my sanity and I am forever indebted.
Solid and dependable, consistently achieving good results.

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.
