Arranged lasting powers of attorney for 2 people for both health and property. Excellent service apart from having to return to the office to sort out a signature that had been missed, otherwise would have been 5 stars.

Hugely impressed by the ease with which this has been done. From the initial contact with Louise to every single one of those involved it has been a pleasure and instilled confidence in us. I have been particularly impressed that even when Louise was on holiday nothing was left undone.

I contacted Zoe Nicholson from Slee Blackwell Solicitors, and from the first moment I knew I was going to be looked after. Zoe went through everything and told me in a language I could understand.
From start to finish everything ran like clockwork.

I recently used Slee & Blackwell of Barnstaple for the sale of my house, and I couldn't be more pleased with their service. They were incredibly helpful, efficient, and supportive throughout the entire process. Everything went smoothly with no issues whatsoever. I thoroughly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and professional solicitors. A truly first-class experience!

I can’t thank Caroline and the team at Slee Blackwell enough. They could have easily turned me away, but they didn’t, instead they worked ferociously for five years on my case, booking appointments for me in London gathering expert opinions, having face to face and online meetings with me, keeping me up to date, and also explaining things clearly whenever I didn’t understand (which was often!). Just an incredible team. However, beyond this, I felt like they genuinely cared, which meant a lot more to me, as a legal journey inevitably brings up a lot, and they’re a very empathetic team. Thank you to Caroline and the team at Slee, it’s been one hell of a journey, and I appreciate all your effort to get me through it. I’d recommend you any day of the week.

Slee Blackwell Solicitors are an award-winning, Legal 500 recommended law firm, serving clients nationwide. 2020 was our centenary year. We have come a long way in the past one hundred plus years, but we remain committed to the principles of our founder Ernest Slee to provide the highest levels of professional service. We are proud to have been awarded Lexcel accreditation, the Law Society’s legal practice quality mark for excellence in legal practice management and legal client care. Our clients therefore have the peace of mind of knowing that their legal affairs are in safe hands and that their interests are being looked after by an established, accredited law firm that is dedicated to providing a first class service. While we provide a full range of legal services, we are known nationally for our expertise in a number of niche areas of law, including inheritance disputes, medical negligence and animal law. Our work has attracted a great deal of media attention. Medical negligence Lawyer, Oliver Thorne, has for instance been celebrated for spearheading the fight for justice of hundreds of British PIP breast implant victims in the French courts, as well as campaigning for the rights of mothers and babies who have been let down by our health services. Partner James McNally (who has been shortlisted for Claimant Lawyer of the Year at the 2021 National Personal Injury Awards) has been dubbed 'The Dog Bite Solicitor' by The Guardian newspaper.
