    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.

    I’m completely satisfied with the services provided, my defences vigilance in the understanding of the law was extremely thorough and their choice of expert witness was,”arguably the best in the land”. Without this expertise and attention to detail i fear i would be seriously lost to arbitrary rule and would have suffered greatly. I cannot hold them in higher esteem and would trust them implicitly in any situation that came before me.

      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.

      Wills, Trusts and Probate

      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.
