Absolutely useless from start to finish. Slow, negligent, uncommunicative. Botched the power of attorney, slowly ground through the will/probates of both parents, and bungled (slowly) two property transactions. Thoroughly incompetent. Avoid.

After nearly four years of fighting a very difficult convoluted case, our solicitor Hafiaz managed to bring it all to a very positive conclusion. He never lost his professionalism and dedication although maybe at times found himself pushed too hard with an overload of cases. My case took determination, hard work, a sense of humour and patience from us all and I couldn't have chosen a better solicitor who possesses all those qualities. I would like to say a big thank you to him and all his hard working team involved with my case, you all went above and beyond.

Solicitor we used was a star. Laid back, great sense of humour, would recommend this company all day long.

I can't say much really as I only needed a question answered over the phone. I got put through to the right person straight away who answered my question quickly, anyone I spoke to was very polite.

I have used Leeds Day previously for conveyance work and found them slow but they got the job done. I thought I'd try them again for a conveyance quote, but I had to chase them for the figures. In addition they use an 08445 number which went to a different branch 2nd time and it took a while to get to where I needed to go. Just got my mobile phone bill and discovered 08445 numbers are charged! I can't be doing with the hassle. Hunt & Coombs returned figures within the hour and gave me a much more professional feeling over the phone. Email communications were great too. Just my opinion.
