Leonard Gray
I had cause to use Leonard Gray Solicitors for a acrimonious divorce and child contact case over a period of three years. During the most painful, stressful time of my life Sarah Orrell was a huge help and gave me incredible support. I cannot recommend Sarah and Leonard Gray highly enough, no question went unanswered and nothing was to much trouble. Easily the most knowledgeable, approachable and caring solicitors out there.
Chris RailLeonard Gray, and specifically Colin Smith, came highly recommended to guide me through and manage a difficult and painful divorce. I was so impressed by the professionalism and level of service I received from both Colin and his assistant Nicky Bull that I have since recommended them to others and would not hesitate to recommend them in the future.
Danny SperlingUsing Leonard Gray made all legal processes extremely easy. Always friendly and helpful in all dealings. Many thanks to Sarah for all her help over the past few years. Would definitely use them again if needed.

Spectrum Family Law
These solicitors are as good as a London practice and use barristers from London.
Very prompt and reliable service. Telephone calls always returned promptly. All correspondence addressed in a professional manner. Margaret was my solicitor and she was very good. Hilary was also a good solicitor. I would like to say the practice runs well with the help of Debbie’s professional handling of phone calls and any correspondence a very kind and reliable lady
Dee & Margaret are the best. You arrive at their office with a few letters from your ex wife or her solicitor, you share them and within a few minutes their calmness and professionalism just makes the whole scenario extremely manageable - first class guidance in every way. Highly recommended.
AnonExcellent people that can cover your divorce needs. As Dee says the law for Spectrum is the same as for any firm in London so why not use Spectrum

A great team of people work here making you feel at ease the moment you walk through the door, from the receptionist staff to Lauren Hancock who had complete professionalism throughout the completion of our will.

Recognised Accreditations
Formal accreditations that are awarded to firms based on their expertise and/or their outstanding working practices.
Award Winning

Client Focused
Evidence of high quality client care, including reviews received, publishing and sharing legal knowledge, and quality of enquiry replies.
Reported Cases
The extent to which the solicitor has been involved in cases that have helped to shape and change wider family law.
Price Band
Is the solicitor one of the best within their price band? A lower-priced or mid-priced solicitor will be included if they are the best compared to other solicitors in the same price band.
Proven History
Does the solicitor have a proven track record, earned over years, of being an extremely shrewd legal practitioner? They aren’t in any way new or unproven.
Legal Specialism
The solicitor is well recognised for having a specialism in a particular area of family law, such as international divorce, abduction, or custody.
