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.

Diligent, dedicated and proactive

Daniel has worked on my case for over 6 years and has demonstrated incredible understanding of nuanced legal paramenters. I have been kept informed at all points and Daniel has proactively pursued to me unseen avenues and ultimately I am happy with the result of his and the teams efforts. I am highly confident that Daniel has got the best possible result I could hope for in, what has been, a long and difficult case.

Exceeded expectations

Having very carefully selected Charlotte for advice and representation, I am delighted to say she not only met my high expectations, but exceeded them. I found her tremendous support steadfast and unwavering. For over two years she patiently kept me going through one of the worst times of my life. Giving me vital perspective and reassurance, as well as total confidence in her ability to meet all challenges head on, with her cool and calm approach, totally unfazed by whatever came along. Her knowledge, experience and professionalism impressive, I find her to be totally reliable and trustworthy, very efficient and attentive, a great listener. I have a deep appreciation of Charlottes skill and expertise and also gratitude for the settlement she secured for me. I cannot thank her enough.

Excellent support, advice and service

I was introduced to Alex through a personal contact and was pleased to work with him- the recommendation was well deserved and I can now endorse that from my own experience. Through Alex I also had to engage his colleague Nasreen Aslam who was equally efficient, proactive, professional and extremely supportive of my case. Both are highly recommended and I wouldn't hesitate in using their service and indeed the services of Slater Heelis again

TUPE & Contract advice

Ran into an issue with a client who we believed terminated a contract incorrectly and avoided TUPE responsibilities. SH guided me through the legal stance allowing me to make an informed decision on my next move.

Thank you so much for this great feedback, Stephen! Dealing with incorrect contract terminations and TUPE issues can be incredibly stressful and confusing for any business. We are so glad that our team could break down the legalities and give you the clarity and confidence you needed to decide on your next steps.

Housing & Property

Sale of a property and the transfer of of a second property to a Trust

It proved rather complicated for the transfer as it involved a different firm to execute the conveyancing who were also good. Overall, when dealing with three different groups of lawyers, I occasionally got rather muddled, but generally the whole process worked quite smoothly.

Daniel was excellent for a service relating to a notice to terminate which we had contacted him for. We contacted him on short notice and requested this to be sorted fast, which once we had explained to Daniel the situation he was very helpful in. He provided the conclusion ahead of the required date, breaking our options down, and giving us competent advice. Would recommend highly to anyone else looking for help in this sort of matter. Thanks Daniel!
