dispute resolution & litigation

“It was only by chance that we came across Geoffrey Leaver when selling our property and choosing them was the best decision we could have made. From the first moment we spoke to someone, we felt assured the transaction would run smoothly.

In our case the sale was extremely tricky and involved a dispute with the local Council, this is when Geoffrey Leaver put us in touch with Guy Brooks, who specialises in Dispute Resolution and Litigation. Guy is extremely knowledgeable, he advised us of our options at every stage and was very quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had. Guy was also able to take the stress away from what had become a very challenging situation. We are confident that without Guy’s expertise, our sale would have collapsed and we wouldn’t have been able to move to our dream home.

We can’t thank Guy enough for all his help and we would recommend him without hesitation. The service from Geoffrey Leaver on the whole was exceptional and without a doubt, the best firm of solicitors we have ever used. ” V Riley & R Skene

I would definitely recommend Danielle along with the rest of the team at Geoffrey Leaver Solicitors.”

“In our business we need solicitors who are speedy, efficient, cost effective and most importantly keep driving the strategy through to conclusion, whilst keeping us informed and involved.

‘’We have achieved a virtual full recovery to the lender who was previously looking at significant loss. It was Trevor’s legal strategy, determination and speed of action that turned this potential loss into a recovery. ”
