Naomi Ireson was excellent in handling this sensitive matter in which I wanted to avoid extra conflict in an emotionally difficult time. Her advice was sound and she was always easy to discuss issues with.

Thank you

A big thank you to Naomi Ireson and her team (Sharnie Jenkins) for helping me at a most difficult time in my life. After the death of my husband and having a caveat slapped on his estate, they helped me to get probate through. And were always ready to give help and advice when needed. I would recommend anyone to use Naomi and her team .

Contentious Probate

I had the privilege of working with Naomi Ireson during a deeply emotional and complex contentious probate case, and I can’t praise her enough. Naomi was a force of nature — smart, compassionate, and utterly brilliant at what she does. Her guidance, expertise, and sheer determination carried me through one of the most challenging periods of my life. From the very beginning, Naomi and her team made me feel completely looked after. They navigated sensitive family dynamics with grace and professionalism, always keeping me informed and reassured. Thanks to her meticulous approach and unwavering dedication, we reached a settlement that brought closure and peace. I genuinely don’t know how I would’ve managed without her. I’ll be singing her praises to anyone who’ll listen! If you’re facing a contentious probate dispute, I wholeheartedly recommend Naomi Ireson and the team at Slee Blackwell Solicitors. They are, quite simply, the best.

Inheritance act

Over the last year I have been working with Naomi and her team (Sharnie Jenkins and Jolie Lambert), to make a claim under the Inheritance act against my late father's will. Throughout this time, they have been extremely professional, helpful and communication is excellent. I am more than grateful for all they have done to help me and would not only recommend them, but wouldn't hesitate to use them again. I have felt 100% confident that they would lead me to the best outcome and trusted them implicitly. Thank you so much!

Firstly I would like to say, if it were possible I would give Slee and Blackwell Solicitors a five star plus rating.. My probate case was slightly complicated, as it was originally being dealt with by Chatterton's solicitors in Lincolnshire. It was to do with my late father's estate, I needed to establish proof of my relationship with my late father to inherit the estate. My uncle who at the time of my late father's death lived in Africa, put the estate in the hands of Chatterton's Solicitors in Lincolnshire denying I existed, my uncle then passed away before probate was completed. As my father had not had anything to do with me at all, the only reason I found out he had passed away was through another family member. I contacted Chatterton's explaining the situation, and to cut a very long story short they were completely unhelpful and dismissive, even though I had conclusive proof from the court of him being my late father. If I were able to give Chatterton's a review it would be 0 star plus but I would like to thank them for the 2 years of my time they wasted while they passed me on from solicitor to solicitor with the same negative outcome saying they needed more and more proof as far as I can see the only thing they did for me was hold funds in their account and charge sixteen thousand pounds plus for the privilege. Not knowing where else to go I contacted Slee and Blackwell and Spoke to Holly, explained my situation and asked if she would be able to proceed on a no win no fee basis it must of taken around 10 minutes for her to get back with a positive answer and all the way through she has been absolutely fantastic. So all that remains for me to say is a very Heart felt thank you and a happy Christmas to you Holly and all at Slee and Blackwell... Thank you.

I had an enquiry about a will and probate, not to pursue but more so after some advice before I took any further. I Liased with Naomi and she was very helpful and went beyond what I expected to help me from just an enquiry. I shall use them if I need to take any further legal action. Thanks for your help!
