‘…I would not hesitate to recommend Geoffrey Leaver Solicitors’
“Geoffrey Leaver Solicitors dealt with my late mother’s estate, obtaining grant of probate and assisting with the estate. They explained costs, timelines, and kept me informed. They also drew up my will. I would not hesitate to recommend Geoffrey Leaver Solicitors and thank Karen Shakespeare for all her professional help with these matters.” Rachel

‘Professional, sharp, fast-moving…kind and expert solicitors’
“There is nothing grey about this solicitors practice. Professional, sharp, fast-moving, and colourful, kind and expert solicitors. High quality support teams too. We used Geoffrey Leaver for personal services (which fully lived up to all we could wish). Their logo states ‘when experience matters’- this is true, however, they are excellent when caring counts.” William
‘I have at last found a solicitor I can trust’
“Karen from Geoffrey Leaver rescued me from my previous solicitor, who was less than satisfactory in approach and content of work. Karen was very friendly, accommodating and responsive.

Overall a 5 star service.” Louise
