Brilliant service from Leathes Prior

This is the second time being a client of Leathes Prior and have had two incredible experiences. Leathes Prior were my solicitors in the purchase of our new home. Madison King is incredibly knowledgeable and takes the time to explain legal terms to me. I was able to speak to my solicitor whenever I needed to. Emails were replied to quickly and I was kept up to date with the progress. Thank you so much for everything. You really did make this process easier and smoother for us. Have recommended you to multiple people and will definitely use you again.

Hello Anastasia Thank you for this lovely review. We are so pleased Madison was able to assist you with the purchase, and best of luck with your new home. Best wishes LP

A difficult Probate Process - Made Easy by LP

How lucky was I to be recommended Leathes Prior by a friend when I told them I needed legal help to complete probate on my mother's estate. Ejike was assigned to manage the probate application; he was immensely supportive, extremely professional, patient, and kept me me informed during a long process drawn out by the lack of co-operation by the other executor and their solicitor. It was reassuring to have someone as a sounding board making the right decisions and calming my concerns. I thought the costs were more than reasonable for completing the official paperwork and the continued support I received. Ejike was a pleasure to work with and although I live in London, not Norwich, we managed everything by phone, email and post. I now want to pass on that favour from my friend, by recommending Leathes Prior to someone else.

Sale of property

This was my first experience of selling a property, my mother's flat, and I was nervous about embarking on an unfamiliar process. But Rachael and Angela could not have been more supportive, and indeed kind. Everything was explained very clearly to me, the written information I was given was easy to understand, and they were quick to respond when I asked questions. There were delays caused by my buyer and her solicitor, but Rachael and Angela were fantastic in chasing them up and chivvying them along - they kept me well informed of progress throughout, and couldn't have done more to smooth the transaction through. I'm very grateful to both of them, and consider their fees very reasonable in view of the excellent service they give.

Best decision I made was to hire Leathes Prior, and in particular Ejike, to manage the probate process for my mother's estate. I simply couldn't have completed the paperwork correctly with the nuances the taxman and court required without the legal understanding these guys have. Ejike was friendly, professional, efficient and very patient when the co-executor challenged the process at each stage, keeping me informed of the progress. LP were recommended to me by a friend and I'm passing on that recommendation, the costs were very reasonable and I couldn't be happier with their service and the outcome.

I found myself in a hopeless employment predicament, which several law firms weren't prepared to offer help and advice. Leathes Prior took on my case with confidence and took all the preasure off my shoulders. It's unfair to name specific individuals as Leathes Prior worked as a team, from the Company Partner through to the assistants. I thank you all for the efforts and results you achieved. Wayne.

Having bought my first house some 23 years ago in Norwich I felt it appropriate to support local! Given our circumstances & a big shift in the market decades later Rachael & Angela didn't let us down. They were concise & reliable given our family circumstance at the time. The house I was looking to buy was also through the same agent which made all the communication & paperwork easier for Leathes Prior. All be it a difficult time with bereavement in the family the team here were great. Thank you to all the team there!
