    Claim against Co-operative Legal Services

    Your company has handled this case exceptionally well. We always knew that morally we were in the right, but that did not mean anything until we contacted you. Zoe has worked so hard for us to obtain the fantastic result that she did. Thank you so much, Zoe and Sleeblackwell Solicitors

    Claim for Defamation, Misuse of Private Information and Harassment

    From the outset, Zoe's expertise in managing an exceptionally complex and challenging matter was outstanding. She immediately understood both the detail and wider implications of the situation, and her prompt advice from our very first contact made all the difference. I felt completely supported throughout. The claim I was required to defend was extensive and challenging in both scope and tone. It could easily have been overwhelming without Zoe’s reliable guidance. She broke down the response process into manageable, strategic steps, always explaining each clearly and without judgment. Her ability to combine close attention to detail with a clear focus on the bigger picture helped keep the case on track and avoided wasted costs, effort, or distraction. Zoe’s judgment regarding when and how to involve both junior and leading counsel was impeccable, and her management of all communications and procedural steps was consistently prompt, thoughtful, and thorough. She was always generous with her time and able to explain complex legal matters in a way I could understand. Her calmness, professionalism, and kindness made a very difficult period significantly more bearable. Thanks to Zoe’s expert handling, we achieved what I wanted at settlement under a private contractual agreement, with no order for costs and without compromising on the factors that were most important to me. Throughout, I trusted Zoe completely. Her integrity, insight, and advocacy gave me confidence even in the most stressful moments. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Zoe brings not only legal excellence but genuine care, and anyone facing a difficult legal situation would be in the safest possible hands with her.

    Utility Bidder Dispute

    We had an awful experience with Utility Bidder who tried to get a rather large sum of money from our company in commission for a service they were unable to provide for us. They were using bully boy tactics and trying to frighten us. Zoe was remarkable with her defence, especially in gathering evidence of all communication including the recorded phone calls. We felt so supported and were able to push this to one side as Zoe dealt with everything for us and we are pleased that Utility Bidder finally gave up. Using Sleep Blackwell, was money well spent that in the end saved us a fortune as opposed to paying Utility Bidder.
