Help with defending a claim against our father's will

My family employed Slee Blackwell Solicitors to help us at a sad and difficult time in our lives. From the start Anya was very helpful, professional and honest as to what the possible outcomes might be. Anya responded quickly to all correspondence in a knowledgeable and kind way and helped us to a successful outcome via mediation without having to go to court. I can highly recommend her.

Exceptional service in a complex estate dispute

I highly recommend Anya for her handling of a highly complex estate dispute that involved multiple angles and a significant volume of evidence. Her standout skill is her ability to parse and understand a vast amount of information very quickly. Our case had many moving parts, but she successfully connected the dots, identified the critical facts, and condensed everything into a highly compelling, watertight legal argument. Throughout the process, she has been incredibly fast to respond and consistently polite. Her warm personality made a challenging legal process much easier to navigate, but it is her sharp analytical mind and efficiency that make her an outstanding solicitor.

Will/estate dispute

Anya has been incredibly supportive throughout my time working with her and has shown me a great deal of care and compassion. I always felt very well looked after and comfortable asking her anything. Any questions or concerns I had were promptly answered, and she took great care to explain everything, ensuring I was always well-informed and prepared throughout every step of the process. As this was my first experience dealing with legal proceedings, I felt I couldn't have been in safer or more knowledgeable hands. I am forever grateful to her for all the time and effort she dedicated to representing me.

Outstanding support during a very difficult property dispute

I cannot thank Anya Hoyland enough for all of her help and support throughout my case. This was an extremely stressful and emotional property dispute that had been ongoing for a long time, and Anya was professional, patient and supportive throughout. She always took the time to explain matters clearly, keep me informed of developments and provide reassurance when needed. What stood out most was that I never felt like just another client. Anya genuinely listened to my concerns, took the time to understand the issues involved, and was always willing to discuss matters whenever I needed guidance or clarification. During some very difficult periods, her calm and professional approach made a huge difference. The matter ultimately achieved a far better outcome than I had feared, and I am incredibly grateful for the work Anya put into helping me reach that position. Throughout the process she remained approachable, responsive and committed to achieving the best possible outcome for me, and I always felt that she genuinely cared about my case. I would not hesitate to recommend Anya to anyone seeking legal representation. Thank you, Anya, for all of your hard work, support and dedication throughout my case. It is very much appreciated.

I liked that we were using a local company where you could have a face to face meeting if/when necessary. Our solicitor kept us informed throughout the process, was generally quick with replying and was patient with explanations when we needed. We had a few ‘queries’ but these were soon rectified. Anya (our solicitor) was professional but also approachable and did her utmost to keep to our brief. She has made a stressful situation easier as well as achieving an outcome we would not have been able to rectify without her help. I would certainly use Slee Blackwell (Anya Hoyland) again.
