Knowledgeable, Consistent, and Compassionate Representation
I cannot thank Sarah enough for her support and guidance throughout my divorce. As a stay-at-home parent, the process felt incredibly daunting, but Sarah made everything manageable. From the very beginning, she was calm, knowledgeable, and incredibly reassuring.
Her ability to explain every step clearly, consider all the options, and guide me toward the best approach was genuinely impressive. What stood out most was her consistency — no matter how emotional or complex things became, Sarah remained steady, compassionate, and solution-focused.
I am really thankful to Sarah and her team — with their support and guidance, the outcome was fair and gave me the foundation I needed to move forward with confidence and stability. She always made me feel heard, supported, and informed, and that made all the difference at such a difficult time.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. Sarah’s support was invaluable.
Thank you again, Sarah, and your team, for everything.

Review of Chris Kelly's help with Will
Chris was clear, concise, welcoming and informative. He took time to understand our position and give full advice on various aspects of our enquiry including issues that we may not have been aware of. Documents were prepared quickly and faultlessly. He met all of our needs.

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.
