Thank you Sarah

I cannot recommend Sarah Orrell highly enough. She handled my divorce with exceptional skill, combining deep legal expertise with a calm, strategic approach that gave me confidence throughout a very challenging process. Sarah was consistently professional, responsive, and clear in her advice, always striking the right balance between being pragmatic and empathetic. Her ability to manage complex issues and guide matters to a positive resolution was invaluable. I felt fully-supported and reassured knowing she was handling my case, and I am certain the outcome would not have been as positive without her. If you are looking for a solicitor who is not only highly competent but also genuinely cares about achieving the best outcome for their clients, Sarah is an outstanding choice.

Outstanding Legal Support During Divorce

Devon McNamara was allocated to assist me with my divorce proceedings, and I found both her and her legal secretary, Mandy Sagers, to be extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and professional throughout the entire process. Devon explained technical legal terms with great clarity and handled the often aggressive correspondence from my wife’s solicitor with exemplary professionalism. Her tone was calm, factual, and focused on mediation, which helped defuse potential escalation and kept matters constructive. Overall, Devon’s work was outstanding. My only minor concern was that her part-time working hours occasionally led to delays in responses.

Knowledgeable, Consistent, and Compassionate Representation

I cannot thank Sarah enough for her support and guidance throughout my divorce. As a stay-at-home parent, the process felt incredibly daunting, but Sarah made everything manageable. From the very beginning, she was calm, knowledgeable, and incredibly reassuring. Her ability to explain every step clearly, consider all the options, and guide me toward the best approach was genuinely impressive. What stood out most was her consistency — no matter how emotional or complex things became, Sarah remained steady, compassionate, and solution-focused. I am really thankful to Sarah and her team — with their support and guidance, the outcome was fair and gave me the foundation I needed to move forward with confidence and stability. She always made me feel heard, supported, and informed, and that made all the difference at such a difficult time. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. Sarah’s support was invaluable. Thank you again, Sarah, and your team, for everything.

As much as there can be a 'positive experience' when dealing with a divorce, Leonard Gray and in particular Sarah made the process as painless as it could be. The term you get what you pay for is none more so relevant then when dealing with Leonard Gray - the process was kept factual, my situation felt understood and ultimately I got an end result that was as best as it could be. Would definitely recommend

I used Leonard Grays Family Law section and specifically Farrah. She was amazing throughout the whole process, from my first consultation and dealing with me crying all the way through to the final resolution, ending with more (happy) tears. Farrah is friendly, professional and explains everything along the way so you understand the legal processes. She kept me fully updated and I had complete faith in her. I would highly recommend.

Thorough and helpful

My daughter and I made an appointment to set up a new Will. We were met by helpful staff and were introduced to the appropriate solicitor. She reviewed my situation and made helpful suggestions which I agreed to. A draft Will was emailed to me within the week. We returned to the solicitor at a mutually convenient time to sign the Will. I was sent a copy and the original Will is now in their safe.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional service and professionalism provided throughout the handling of my late father’s estate. From the outset, Sigourney explained things clearly and sensitively, which made a very difficult and emotional process far easier to manage. Communication was always prompt, courteous, and reassuring, and I felt fully supported at every stage. What stood out most was the calm and compassionate manner in which matters were dealt with. I always felt treated with patience, respect, and understanding, and nothing ever felt too much trouble. The professionalism, efficiency, and attention to detail gave me complete confidence throughout the probate process. I would not hesitate to recommend Leonard Gray to anyone requiring probate or estate administration services. Thank you again for your dedication and excellent support during such an important and difficult time.

Sigourney was professional, efficient and clear in her advice. I was applying for deputyship for my mother who had gone into a care home. Sadly she died before the forms were submitted. Sigourney and the firm responded rapidly and sympathetically, limiting the fees to what I had already paid. I was touched by the sympathetic way she and the firm dealt with this at a difficult time for me.
