Having received an invoice for a considerable amount as a result of an omission from a solicitor in a no win no fee case for defendants costs, I contacted Gardner-Leader who were very helpful. They acted on my behalf bringing the case to a swift conclusion in a very professional way.
I would have no hesitation in recommending them.
