Expert advice and very reassuring support

The help and advice I was given by Stephen during the preparation was crucial in getting me through. He was very reassuring and the service was excellent value when considering the very reasonable cost and the peace of mind that he was able to give me. I couldn’t recommend Gardner Leader enough and won’t hesitate to contact them again should I need support in the future.

Garnder Leader prepared our Wills for us. Before making a decision, I spoke to 4 other firms but was immediately impressed with the legal secretary I spoke to, she was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable and very quickly found someone local to us to assist us. We then met Maddie who again was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. She spent a large amount of time understanding what we wanted and crucially what we needed and took time to answer a lot of questions and to answer them simply and plainly. We are very happy with the end result and wouldn't hesitate to recommend both Maddie and the firm. Thank you so much.

I can't thank Phil enough for his support and professionalism throughout my case. He kept me informed every step of the way, explained everything clearly, and provided excellent advice and reassurance during what was a very stressful time. I always felt that I was being listened to and my best interests were being looked after, and I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone needing legal assistance.

Community Resolution

I instructed Philip to give guidance and representation on a minor community resolution. We had one face to face meeting whereby he explained the situation fully and advised the best way forward to a quick and satisfactory resolution. A few subsequent phone calls on progress and the matter was resolved. Philip was extremely helpful and professional throughout the process.

Best legal support

I had a minor car accident and was lost in how I should handle it being newly relocated to the UK. Phil had been very helpful, resourceful, knowledgeable, and super responsive throughout and provide ease of mind by providing me with clear expectation of steps, approach and possible outcomes. My case was resolved with best outcome I had prepared for. I really appreciate Phil's professional support. Would definitely recommend to whoever needs to engage a criminal lawyer's service.

Residential Property/Conveyancing

Adrianna Koscielniak provided me with exemplary customer service at every step of the way when selling my residential home this year. Adrianna was communicative throughout the process from the initial call to say that Gardner Leader would act for me, to the exchange and completion of the house sale. I cannot recommend Adrianna personally, and the whole team at Gardner Leader enough. I would highly recommend Gardner Leader in the future for your property purchase and sale, they are a skilled and experienced team. Thank you for your help which was very reassuring. I was delighted to have you act for me in the sale of my house.

At the meeting with Ms. Aslam, I had so many questions and concerns. Ms. Aslam patiently answered my questions, gave thorough explanations to help me better understand my position and was happy to repeat and revisit the concepts I was unclear or uncertain about. She was extremely helpful and easy to talk to. She really put me at ease during a difficult period of time.

After recent, stressful experiences with (remote) solicitors Gardner Leader made this one a smooth, problem-free process. All paperwork was done in a timely fashion, all queries dealt with promptly and all updates received with each step. I highly recommend the company and, specifically from my experience, Michelle Challis and her team.

Litigation / Dispute Resolution

After having several quite unsatisfactory experiences with other local law firms, Gardner Leader were exceptional from the very first telephone call through to my initial consultation. Their client onboarding process was impressive, and throughout the entire process I felt reassured by the high level of service, professionalism and knowledge of what needed to be done. I was dealing with a particularly delicate matter on behalf of my 92-year-old mother, who had squatters in her home. Gardner Leader handled the situation efficiently and professionally from start to finish, ultimately resolving the matter completely. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.
