What our client say
Some people see law as heartless and cold, But all that we saw are hearts made of gold! The team at Leigh Day gave us hope in the dark, On days when our life really did feel quite stark. We thought we were powerless, going up against giants, So we called in Leigh Day, and soon became clients, And then we felt strong even on the bad days, As we knew we had backing all through the tough phase. So this is a thank you, for you don’t understand, Just how you have helped us beyond toxic land, Your reach did go far as you gave us advice, We turned into lions, not scared little mice! There really is heart in the world made of law, As the underdogs rise when YOU know the score, So thank you for being there in OUR darkest days, You’ve helped change our lives and for that there’s no phrase!
