What Private Client Law clients highlight
“We used James and his team to sell my grandmother’s house. The probate and managing agent took absolutely ages but the team did a brilliant job trying to sort it as fast and smoothly as they can. They were friendly and patient when I had lots of questions and kept me in the loop throughout.”

What Private Client Law clients highlight
“Georgina was such a lovely solicitor; she was so brilliant at making sure that I felt supported in a time that I felt very low. These situations are always stressful, and she was always there for me to support, help and guild me throughout the journey. Georgina was brilliant at communicating with me on a daily basis and always kept me up to date to ensure I was fully up to date every day. I can't thank her enough for getting everything I wanted for my child sealed through the court order.”

“I instructed James Pantling-Skeet after a previously unsuccessful hearing at first tier Tribunal. He was able to obtain an Educational Psychology report that clearly identified need, and then ensured that we had a strong case to present to our new Local Authority. Despite the inevitable slow or absent responses to requests for comment, he was doggedly persistent; and was able to negotiate a successful outcome without recourse to first tier Tribunal. He was extremely approachable throughout this process, and kept me updated at all time. James was compassionate, thoughtful, and committed to our case in the most difficult of circumstances; and it is a testament to his tenacity that he was able to achieve a successful outcome for my child. I would recommend him without reservation.”
