Claim settlement

Emma Slade is a wonderful,professional,understanding,knowledgeable solicitor with a very human side to her work. I would thoroughly recommend her and following a successful outcome after a long and arduous claim she did not falter once. We were able to put our complete trust in her and whilst I hope I will not need future help in such matters should we ever need to I would without doubt ask for Emma to act on our behalf. I really cannot impress enough how comfortable we were to be led by Emma throughout the whole prolonged case.

Professional Negligence

A Long, Arduous Case: Steady and Unwavering Support

We worked with Emma Slade at Slee Blackwell for nearly three years on a professional negligence claim. It was a long, complex, and at times emotionally exhausting process, but Emma’s professionalism and commitment never wavered. From the outset, Emma understood the merits of our case. We never felt we had to convince her. She saw what had gone wrong early on and pursued it with focus and determination throughout. Paula Isaac was also a great support, always responsive and helpful. The case was incredibly complex, with a huge amount of material to work through, much of it disorganised. Emma handled it with great care and attention, and it was clear throughout that we were in very capable hands. Emma is a truly exceptional lawyer, and she brings genuine empathy and compassion to her work. She clearly cares deeply about her clients and the impact these situations have. She guided us through the reality of what was, at times, a very difficult process. She was clear, direct, and helped us understand what could realistically be achieved under English law. She managed our expectations with patience and honesty, even when the limitations were difficult to accept, and she always remained firmly in our corner. While the journey was challenging, we ultimately achieved a successful outcome thanks to Emma’s diligence and perseverance. We are deeply grateful for her work and Slee Blackwell.

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.

Excellent Solicitor Who Secured a Much Higher Settlement

I had an excellent experience with my solicitor Jasmine Moxey-Butler while pursuing a claim against an insurance company after I was bitten by a dog in a park. She was incredibly knowledgeable and persistent throughout the entire process. From the very beginning, she guided me step by step, making sure I fully understood my options and what to expect. Her advice was always clear and reassuring. What stood out most was her determination—she strongly advised against settling for a low offer and was confident we could achieve a better outcome. Thanks to her persistence, we rejected the initial £5,000 offer from the insurance company and ultimately secured a £9,000 settlement, with no need to go to Court. She also arranged for me to see a clinical psychologist, which proved to be extremely valuable. This strengthened my case, as I had experienced psychological trauma following the incident. I’m very grateful for her professionalism, dedication, and support, and I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of legal representation.

Joke of a firm. Elizabeth Duncan is the worst solicitor ever, I got £8,000 from a lawsuit that was worth £30,000 I paid for a consultation for a solicitor who read my court case against the NHS and he said that Elizabeth only put forward a clam with regards to the injury’s sustained and nothing else.

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.

When in despair !

Unfortunately, out of the blue I found myself in a desperate, and what I thought was looking to be a massive life changing situation financially for me. I approached Slee Blackwell as I had used them years before in the seamless purchase of a property, and their service was excellent. From the receptionist putting my call through to Paula (Emma's secretary) I received a preliminary call back from Emma within 20mins. After explaining the situation briefly, Emma kindly arranged a site visit to my offices within days to establish the true facts of the situation, and after 30minutes, I really couldn't believe the weight she took from my shoulders. I have to say , her professionalism, knowledge, understanding and kindness were outstanding, I would say beyond the call of duty, it was at that point I asked her to please handle proceedings! Throughout the case, this lady can bury the opposition with her retort of wording in correspondence ! I felt blessed and relieved she was on my side. I could write for 100 pages how literally she held my hand to an extraordinary outcome in my favour, that on day one, I couldn't see through the trees. Emma Slade is the most remarkable solicitor I have ever been on side with along with her fabulous secretary Paula. I hope an occasion never arises again, but little does she know , I have her on speed dial, just in case. As a local business owner, I would like to remain anonymous for obvious reasons, but hope Emma reads this and will know exactly who I am, and how eternally grateful I am for all her skills and professionalism.

Absolute Life Saver - Highly Recommend

After a very unpleasant and disturbing breakdown in my relationship it looked like I was going to lose my home, a home that I had paid the whole deposit for and had paid the mortgage on my own for over 6 months. My ex partner would not sign the house over to me, even though there was no equity in it and he paid nothing toward the deposit, my mortgage deal was coming to an end, I was never going to be able to afford the new payments. Kirsty stepped in and literally saved the day, she contacted my ex and due to her professionalism and persistence he finally signed the papers. I can never thank her and her team enough, I can now enjoy my home with my baby girl without having to worry about losing it, I will be eternally grateful and cannot recommend Kirsty enough. If I could give 10 stars I would, I am so happy!!

We had a great experience with our solicitor, Naomi, throughout our first home purchase. As first-time buyers, we really appreciated the clear communication and guidance at each stage, which made the whole process feel far more manageable. We exchanged contracts last Tuesday and completed on Friday, 1st May, receiving our keys by mid day!. Everything was handled smoothly and efficiently, and we always felt well informed throughout. Thank you, Naomi, for all your hard work in helping us reach such an important milestone—we would highly recommend your services.

I’ve had a great experience working with Gemma Williams at Slee Blackwell during the sale of my property and purchase of another. She was always on the ball, one step ahead, and clearly focused on being as efficient as possible throughout the process. Conveyancing can take time, and I appreciated that things need to be done properly, but Gemma made everything feel smooth and well-managed. I was always kept up to date straight away whenever I needed to complete something or if any further information was required. This is the second time I’ve used Slee Blackwell, and I wouldn’t hesitate to use the firm again in the future. A consistently reliable and professional service.
