What Gabriel's clients say
I cannot thank Gabriel enough. His professionalism and client care got me through one of the toughest challenges I’ve faced. I think Gabriel is an absolute credit to Leigh Day, so much so I nominated him for an award through The Lawyer. The firm should be really proud of him.
