Our experience with Chris was first class. Our wills being marginally more complex than normal Chris explained all of the various options in great detail. We had spent some time researching solicitors and felt pleased that our final choice of solicitors mitigated that research.

Outstanding Legal Support During Divorce
Devon McNamara was allocated to assist me with my divorce proceedings, and I found both her and her legal secretary, Mandy Sagers, to be extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and professional throughout the entire process.
Devon explained technical legal terms with great clarity and handled the often aggressive correspondence from my wife’s solicitor with exemplary professionalism. Her tone was calm, factual, and focused on mediation, which helped defuse potential escalation and kept matters constructive.
Overall, Devon’s work was outstanding. My only minor concern was that her part-time working hours occasionally led to delays in responses.

My husband and I needed to make completely new Wills,due to a change in our circumstances. After reading lots of reveiws about solicitors local to Chelmsford,I chose Leonard Gray. The Receptionist was very helpful and explained that the solicitor we needed to see was Sigourney Rutkowski and an appointment was made. On arrival we were made to feel very welcome and the atmosphere was friendly,but professional. Sigourney herself turned out to be and absolutely delightful young woman,friendly and personable. She explained the whole process to us very clearly and advised us as to the best course of action when we explained our various needs and wishes. Only a week later we received the new Wills through the post and at our next appointment these were reviewed and signed by us in front of the witness supplied by the solicitors.
Sigourney made the whole process very easy for us,nothing was too much trouble and the service was quite exceptional. We would recommend Leonard Gray LLP Solicitors and particularly SIgourney,without a moment's hesitation. Should the need arise in the future,we would not hesitate to return.

Kate and Andy were so helpful when buying our home. Kate would constantly go above and beyond to get us answers from solicitors throughout the entire process and was always quick to reply to queries. Andy was great during our multiple showings around our property. Thank you both!
