I found Hilary extremely patient, understanding & supportive at a very traumatic time for myself & my family. She took time to explain things to us when we were unsure & is extremely good at what she does. Would 100% recommend.

From my first contact with the receptionist at Windsor branch I felt Gardner Leader were a professional team who would be best placed to deal with a Litigation issue. I was put in touch with Hilary Messer who was excellent. She is experienced, canny and exactly what she said. I would highly recommend her legal services as the matter was resolved swiftly, for which I am very grateful.

Litigation / Dispute Resolution

We found ourselves in a very difficult and stressful situation but from start to finish Hilary Messer was extremely professional,understanding, patient, kind, tolerant and reassuring (we definitely did have peace of mind). Most importantly Hilary advised us brilliantly and clearly and always either answered our 'phone calls or returned them. We are very grateful for her expert help.
