Outstanding service

"We have recently sold our house and purchased a cottage, using 2 different solicitors. The difference between conveyancing experience is extreme. Slee Blackwell has been a dream to work with and made our purchase a stress free and exciting time."

Fantastic service

I was really pleased with how Clarissa handled our case. She would work on it at all times of the day, even responding to emails that I’d send at night. We were kept up to date throughout, explaining anything that we didn’t understand. I would highly recommend her. Thanks Clarissa.

In the early stage of contact, I was very impressed with how fast Jade moved things along for me. Communication was very good and constant, with updates every step of the way. Jade was so friendly, sympathetic and helpful during starting my difficult and stressful case.

Elizabeth Duncan is an amazing solicitor, I can be very difficult when I feel something injustice has happened and she has remained helpful and professional every step of the way. She won my legal case against the NHS and went out of her way to communicate every aspect of the case with me as well as getting me the best outcome possible. Couldn’t recommend her enough!

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.

We are Buckinghamshire based and our experience so far with Jade and Clarissa has been fantastic. The team are very friendly and caring and very willing to help you in any way they can. A few solicitors had turned our case down but Jade went that one step further for us and recognised we had a case for medical negligence. We cant thank them enough for helping us with our claim and providing the support.

Thank you for your valued feedback concerning the service being provided by Jade and Clarissa in our Medical Negligence team. We will do our utmost to secure the very best outcome for you.

Oliver Thorne acted for Me in an extremely sensitive case regarding clinical negligence. From the very beginning Oliver was very professional and supportive throughout the process and fully respected my views and wishes. Oliver was very prompt in his responses to Me and always had the answers I needed, albeit sometimes not things I wanted to hear regarding the information and facts he fought to get. I will forever be grateful for his honesty and determination. I have recommended him to some friends and family and will continue to do so. Thank you so much Oliver and team! I'm so grateful for everything!

Outstanding Service and Rapid Response

We were in a very concerning and worrying legal position and the team responded immediately, which in itself was hugely reassuring. They took the time to understand the situation, provided clear and professional advice, and gave us genuine peace of mind at a very stressful time. Most importantly, they helped us understand the options available and put a clear, practical route forward in place. We felt supported throughout and could not have asked for a better response. I would highly recommend the team to anyone looking for professional, responsive and genuinely supportive legal advice.

We honestly couldn't have asked for a better conveyancer than Kirsty Jones and her team. From start to finish, Kirsty was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and efficient, making what can often be a stressful process feel straightforward and well-managed. She helped my wife and me purchase our forever home, and we always felt we were in safe hands. Communication was excellent throughout, she was quick to respond to any questions, proactive in keeping everything moving, and her expertise gave us complete confidence every step of the way. I genuinely can't recommend Kirsty and her team highly enough. If you're buying or selling a property and want someone who is responsive, knowledgeable, and keeps things moving, she's the person to use. Thank you!
