Property solicitor.

My solictor was Angela Babcock, and although the service provided by her was okay I till date have not received my bonus from the help to buy ISA. it’s a process which takes 3-5 working days and I till date have not received this. I put in a formal complaint on the 11th July which was supposed to be directed to her head of department and I still have not heard anything back. I will not recommend Gardner leader to anybody!

I had a concern over an agreement. Once I spoke to Sam, he assured me that they
could assist in ensuring that I would benifit. He did what he promised, so I cannot
fault the service. Thank you.

Sam Pinder of Gardner Leader Maidenhead was outstanding. My dispute was incredibly professionally managed to a highly successful outcome. I was informed and consulted at every step of the way and truly felt part of the process in partnership with Sam and under his professional leadership and guidance. Whilst I wouldn't wish anyone to experience a dispute of this manner in the future, I would highly recommend Sam Pinder / Gardner Leader to anyone in similar circumstances.

Sam was open about the risk of embarking on the action right from the beginning, he took time to understand what had happened and why I wanted to take the action. He understood fairly quickly that I liked to know all the options available to me and the risk involved with each. I trusted his guidance so although at times I wanted to proceed in a certain manner I took his advice and it always came out as the right thing to have done.

Outstanding service!

We recently met Sam as a result of the need to contest a contract. He very quickly understood the details of the contract and our preferred solution. He found a significant breach for us and we were able to recind the contract quickly and importantly, costs were controlled perfectly. Excellent work Sam! I would recommend Gardner Leader to anyone.

What a fantastic firm. All round superb service and particular thanks to our incredibly impressive litigation lawyer, Daniel Smith. We were in a very nasty property dispute (that had gone on for 3 months), feeling bullied, desperate and hopeless. One week and three emails from Daniel later, we are free and receiving the money we are owed back. Hurrah and thank goodness for lawyers like this!
