Crime/ Criminal Defence

Professional and excellent.

After 5 months of stress and worry plus 3 hours in court finally the truth is established. The team effort prior to the court appearance was fantastic, great communication and always helping and guiding us to remain positive at all times even when the outlook was quite negative. The barrister and her assistance where fantastic on the day and despite us heaping the praise on them after the verdict they were very humble in saying all the prep was done by Rachel, Hannah and the team they only had to ask the questions, shows what a professional practise Slater Heelis are. We can not thank you all enough.

Glad you were in my corner

Lady Justice is meant to be impartial. She is not. She fails miserably daily. Having found myself being dragged through the law courts by Norfolk Constabulary and their crooked Police Constables, I needed expert representation. Slater Heelis Solicitors were highly recommended. Which is where I met Rachel Fletcher. Rachel was not only the light at the end of a very dark tunnel, but she also brought with her a bonfire, burning fiercely with such a sense for justice and integrity. I did not only feel but I knew I was getting the best person for the battle ahead. Rachel and her team- Richard Orme- Rachel Mason-Hunter Grey all fought and got justice for me. With a big smile and a nod, THANK YOU x
