    Exceeded expectations.

    From my initial telephone chat I was impressed with Joanne's empathy and professionalism. Making a will was an emotional journey for me, but her caring attitude made it that bit easier. She explained everything step by step and made sure I understood the process. I have no hesitation in recommending Joanne O'Donnell at Slater Heelis, as the whole experience decidedly exceeded my expectations.

    Joanne has patiently and extremely knowledgeably navigated me through the important task of writing my Will. Throughout the entire process Joanne has been incredibly supportive and I now have peace of mind that my Will will do everything I need it to for my loved ones. Highly recommended! Thank you, Joanne.

    Excellent legal guidance and support

    Navigating the legal system can be an extremely daunting process, but from my very first phone call with Joanne, I felt like I was in safe hands. Joanne helped me understand the process and exactly what was required from me at every stage, which made me feel not only supported but also more confident. She is knowledgeable, patient, professional and personable and provides an exemplary service. I highly recommend working with her.

    A service which left me feeling heard

    Having spoken to a number of solicitors in my search for the right service to support with my divorce and financial settlement, few approached that initial call with the listening skills that Joanne did, thus allowing her to respond with both appropriate sensitivity and advice sufficiently tailored so as to feel relevant to my particular circumstances. I am pleased to say whilst working with Joanne over the course of almost a year, she has continued to deliver a service of this standard, which has afforded me piece of mind through what has been (as can be for many seeking legal advice) an otherwise difficult time.
