What people say
"My solicitor Katherine Wilkinson was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Patience of a saint when I haven’t understood things, or I’ve been busy with family life to keep up with my case. Katherine has always supported me whether it be reminding me of appointments, going through documents over the phone with me to understand or even just being a listening ear when I’m in a bad place. Cannot thank Leigh Day or Katherine enough for everything they have done to support me and help me win my case to the best level it could have got." - client of Katherine

We don’t know what we would have done without the help and guidance of Leigh Day. We felt that they were on our side. They were professional but also very humane and tactful when dealing with my mother’s case. We were very happy and I would totally recommend their services, you would be in good hands.
