Friendly professional service

I needed some help with a simple legal matter. Leonard Grey were able to tell me exactly what I needed to do and provide me with an appointment at short notice to complete the matter. Jenna James was professional and friendly and sorted everything within one appointment.

Will and legal advice

5

We recently made our wills as a just in case anything should happen. And they did a lovely job understanding our needs and advising on all the legal and financial side of things for those left behind. Will definitely use them again for any other matters we may need them for.

My honest opinion

4

Jenna James put us at ease and accepted that our needs in making /understanding wills would need a lot of guidance. Jenna explained the whole process ensuring that we had understood and answered any questions with patience. We explained our requirements to be included and with guidance produced draft wills which once tweaked produced our now current wills. Jenna impressed with her knowledge and patience.

I Have used Leonard Gray twice in the last year.
On both occasions Jenna James acted for me.
Jenna was professional and knowledgeable with the fine ability to present subjects in layman's terms, I am so grateful to Jenna at Leonard Gray for obtaining my late wife’s probate so efficiently and sensitively at such a stressful time.
A few months later I contacted Jenna to rewrite my will, again this was done in a highly professional friendly and helpful way in all dealings.
A great service and very nice people to deal with as an added bonus.

Incredibly thankful and grateful to Jenna for her professional services for over a year now and ongoing. Extremely knowledgable, creative problem solver and intelligent. Jenna strikes a great balance of being professional and taking me through complex legal process explaining in words which I can understand and at the same time as being friendly, supportive and compassionate during a time of devastating sudden loss at an early age. Jenna is supportive, fast at responding, communicates incredibly well and progresses difficult and complex work seamlessly. Jenna is highly reliable and I completely trust in her judgement and expertise. She is making a stressful and difficult process into an easier one by taking away much stress and simplifying a complex legal process as we work through different stages together.
I would recommend Jenna to anyone who is searching for excellent quality services with a strong, ethical, smart and extremely competent professional.
