Preparation and signing of new will
Sarah’s welcome, readiness to listen to my concerns, willingness to answer all my questions and general empathy and friendliness, were exceptional, and assured me that here was someone who I could trust absolutely and who cared about me as an individual. On the basis of my positive experience I’ve had no hesitation in asking her to prepared LPAs for me and I’ve been impressed by the guidance she’s already offered.
The Tiverton office is easily located and the welcome is friendly and efficient. Thank you for your kindness.

Couldn’t Ask for A Better Experience
I used Slee Blackwell Solicitors in Tiverton for a complicated will situation and found my solicitor excellent. She was a brilliant communicator, grasped the complexities, including emotional, of the situation and created a will and letter of wishes to cover all possibilities. Her communication was also excellent in that she responded quickly to communications so there were never any long waits. She was never patronising which can be the case with some solicitors. She was easy to talk to and clear in her advice. I would recommend Sarah Martin to anyone and will do so in the future.

Right from our first conversation, I knew that Sarah was the right person to help. She has listened, been empathetic yet remained professional, is so easy to raise any concerns with, and I can't recommend her more highly. Thank you Sarah for making a hard process a lot easier.
