Fast, professional service
I used this company for the first time recently. I found them to be professional and attentive throughout my dealings with them and always returning emails and phone calls when they say they will. I'd definitely use this company again.

I would just like to say that Leonard solicitors are the worst solicitors I ever been with. They promised me they would help my daughter get her children back from social services. Took them all the court papers. Oh yes yes we’ll get them back by next week that was two years ago they have not contacted us not bothered when you phoned them. They said they don’t do that now help get Children back from social services so what are they any good for They are complete liars build your hopes up, and then leaves you in the lurch. I would not recommend them for anything.

We had Jabulani assigned to us and found ourselves wishing we'd never used them.
Getting any response or helpful information was like drawing blood out of a stone. We had to relentlessly pester to get any information when things were time sensitive. When we did eventually get responses the information was unhelpful and he often didn't answer the question. We were lucky that we had most of the work done by the time we came to them thanks to assistance from another solicitor who referred us to Leonards when a chance in circumstances required he step back from our case due to limits in qualifications.
It sometimes took Jabulani 3-4 weeks to get back to us by which point we managed to resolve things without his help. Half the time we seemed to have more information than he did and he had no knowledge from the procedural side of things. Our previous lawyer (from another firm) kept up to date with changes and was immediately on them when new announcements were made. Jabulani was clueless.
We will not be using Leonards again and suggest you steer clear!

{Lee Ann) she is The best lawyer I have ever known in my life
She is the best lawyer who works regardless of time and effort
She works with the utmost experience
She was the lawyer who got me the biggest repression at one stage in my life
The kindest lawyer and the most respected lawyer that no matter how much I thank her is still lacking
Many lawyers do not respond to emails, but {Lee Ann} responds to emails very quickly and in a timely manner
Although I can't finish talking about the goodness and skills of this lawyer, I trusted her a lot during the time I was with her and I was very comfortable
That's why I say{Lee Ann} is the best lawyer
