Jenna managed the process very smoothly. It took four months for the grant of probate to be issued and in that time a sale of my mum’s apartment fell through, but that was not down to Jenna. She always preceded in a timely manner.

I Have used Leonard Gray twice in the last year.
On both occasions Jenna James acted for me.
Jenna was professional and knowledgeable with the fine ability to present subjects in layman's terms, I am so grateful to Jenna at Leonard Gray for obtaining my late wife’s probate so efficiently and sensitively at such a stressful time.
A few months later I contacted Jenna to rewrite my will, again this was done in a highly professional friendly and helpful way in all dealings.
A great service and very nice people to deal with as an added bonus.

Incredibly thankful and grateful to Jenna for her professional services for over a year now and ongoing. Extremely knowledgable, creative problem solver and intelligent. Jenna strikes a great balance of being professional and taking me through complex legal process explaining in words which I can understand and at the same time as being friendly, supportive and compassionate during a time of devastating sudden loss at an early age. Jenna is supportive, fast at responding, communicates incredibly well and progresses difficult and complex work seamlessly. Jenna is highly reliable and I completely trust in her judgement and expertise. She is making a stressful and difficult process into an easier one by taking away much stress and simplifying a complex legal process as we work through different stages together.
I would recommend Jenna to anyone who is searching for excellent quality services with a strong, ethical, smart and extremely competent professional.
