Reviews
I haven't bought or sold a house for a very long time, but my experience of this transaction with Lily Beel, from Leathes Prior, acting on my behalf, has been overwhelmingly positive. The advice, counsel and guidance was absolutely first class, the communication was excellent and overall it was an utterly professional and courteous service and experience. Even when we hit a little bit of a wobble, Lily remained calm and ensured we got over the line in good time. Highly recommended and I wouldn't go anywhere else for conveyancing in the future. Thank you so much for all you did for me Lily.
I had the pleasure of working with Ellie Davies for the dissolution of my civil partnership, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From the very beginning, Ellie made what could have been a very stressful and emotionally difficult process feel manageable and clear. She took the time to explain every step in a way I could easily understand, always making sure I felt supported and informed. Her professionalism, patience, and empathy truly stood out, and I always felt reassured knowing she was handling my case. Ellie guided me through each stage with care, responded promptly to any questions I had, and ensured everything was completed smoothly and efficiently. Thanks to her, I was able to get through the process without unnecessary stress or confusion. I’m so grateful for all her help and hard work. If you’re looking for someone who is not only experienced but also genuinely supportive, I highly recommend Ellie Davies .
I’ve just come to the end of a complex and emotionally charged legal battle that spanned over 2.5 years. I was represented throughout by the outstanding team at Leathes Prior, beginning with Simon Willis and later continuing under the guidance of Harry Mayne. I honestly could not have asked for better representation. From the outset, Simon provided a steady, knowledgeable hand that helped me begin to navigate what would prove to be a very challenging divorce and financial settlement process. As my case evolved, Harry stepped in and carried it through to conclusion with a level of care, professionalism and strategic clarity that I will forever be grateful for. My case was far from straightforward—it involved not only a long-standing relationship and shared property, but also a particularly tactical and cunning opposition who employed manipulative and often obstructive tactics at every turn. Despite this, Harry remained calm, focused and legally sharp, always one step ahead. He explained my rights clearly, guided me through every stage, and ensured that I always understood my options and the likely outcomes. What really stood out was how human they both were throughout. They didn’t just treat my case like a file on their desk—they understood how personal, painful and important it was to me. I always felt heard and respected, and I was consistently kept informed and updated as things progressed. That kind of empathy combined with expertise is rare, and it made all the difference. Crucially, they secured a settlement for me that was over 300% higher than what I had been offered out of court. That figure alone speaks volumes about the strength of their negotiation, legal understanding, and dedication to achieving justice. They never pushed me to settle for less and always fought for what was fair. If you are looking for a firm that not only knows the law but genuinely cares about the people they represent, I cannot recommend Leathes Prior highly enough. Simon and Harry helped me through one of the most difficult chapters of my life, and I will always be thankful to them for standing by me and seeing it through with integrity and skill.
We dealt with Leanne Riches and her wonderful team during our property sale and purchase. Leanne was fantastic all the way through, she and the team were extremely efficient, responsive, pragmatic, and friendly the whole way through. Obviously, buying a house is already a stressful time, but the speed with which Leanne & team were able to push everything through at was truly incredible especially as we had a few hurdles thrown out way in the process! I'd wholeheartedly recommend Leanne and Leathes Prior. Thank you!
Simon Willis provided outstanding legal support throughout a complex family law matter. His strategic advice, clear communication, and steady guidance were instrumental in achieving a fair resolution. Simon’s professionalism and attention to detail gave me confidence at every stage of the process. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking expert representation in family law.
