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.

I have instructed Brett several times over a 16 year timeframe, including the buying and selling of properties, divorce settlements and execution of a deed of trust. I simply wouldn’t go anywhere else. Brett is efficient, knowledgeable and always delivers with zero stress.

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!!

Amazing!

Megan helped me with my divorce. She was friendly from the outset, understanding and informative. She coped brilliantly when things didn’t go to plan (our end!) and was reassuring throughout. A stressful time made easier - thank you, Megan.

Exceptional service

Jen Law has represented my husband and me for the past six years through an extremely sensitive and traumatic case. Throughout that time, she gave her all and showed unwavering dedication, professionalism, and compassion. Jen always kept things honest and realistic, guiding us through every stage with integrity and genuine care. Her support meant more to us than words can express, and the fact that she was there with us at the very end meant the world. Thanks to Jen’s hard work, commitment, and expertise, we achieved the best outcome we could have hoped for. Because of her, my family can finally begin to rebuild our lives and look towards the future. Jen, you are a superstar. There simply aren’t enough words in the dictionary to express the gratitude we feel for everything you have done for us. We will never forget the difference you have made in our lives. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

I will be sure to share your incredibly kind words with Jen, knowing she made such a difference means the world to her and the entire firm. We wish you and your husband nothing but peace and the absolute best moving forward.

Excellent service, as soon as i instructed Slee Blackwell as my solicitors I felt I was in safe hands. It was such a relief for me at a difficult time. They sorted everything out with excellent knowledge and attention to detail. Communication was superb - reassuring yet professional, prompt and easy to understand. They gave balanced advice and I felt they acted in my interest at all times. They helped me get a satisfactory conclusion and I can now move on with my life. Thank you

I contacted Hayley to help myself and my children regarding a TALATA matter . The service she provided has been nothing short of amazing! Hayley was extremely professional but also compassionate and caring towards my family. I only wish we lived closer to the office so I could give her a huge hug! I appreciate her help so much and would recommend her to anyone.

A word of thanks to Jen Law, now partner at Slee Blackwell of Bideford (previously Barnstaple) for her management of my complicated divorce scenario during 2021/2. Her personality and professionalism ensured a successful resolution, whilst her understanding and compassion ensured re establishment of constructive dialogue between the parties involved. I would recommend her without hesitation

Jen and her team would like to send their thanks for your very kind review.

Transfer of Equity

Slee Blackwell provided all necessary conveyancing and legal services and advice to enable the title transfer for a Potentially Exempt Transfer (PET) of a property involving three parties in three different locations. All transactions were conducted online promptly and efficiently. Communications were excellent throughout the process which was completed in just over two weeks.

Excellent Support Following a Serious Dog Attack Incident

Following a traumatic attack on my dog, Fudge, I contacted Slee Blackwell Solicitors for advice. Most of our communication was carried out by email, which worked very well as I had built up a significant amount of documentation and evidence relating to the incident. The team took the time to review the information I provided, including detailed records, correspondence and supporting evidence. They responded promptly, explained the legal position clearly and provided practical, straightforward advice throughout. Dealing with the aftermath of the attack was incredibly stressful, but their professional and compassionate approach gave me confidence that every aspect of the case had been properly considered. I felt listened to, supported and well informed at each stage. I would not hesitate to recommend Slee Blackwell Solicitors to anyone seeking advice following a dog attack or similar incident.

Review of Jen Law acting as defence solicitor in criminal court

We needed an experienced solicitor for a difficult case against my grandson linking us with an excellent barrister and explaining the processes. Also overseeing the scary court appearances. Delighted to say that Jen was very professional, worked long hours for us and oversaw the culmination of months’ stress with positive support throughout. Grandson was acquitted of all charges. Well done to Jen and her team!

Advice, guidance and support

Jen was recommended to us and proved to be proactive, astute and reassuring. We felt at ease with her interpretation of all processes and could not have asked for more. Thank you to Jen and the company infrastructure as well as Nick Lewin the barrister who presented our case.

I can’t thank Carly and her team enough for everything they have done for me. I couldn’t fault a moment during the entire process. Carly took time to explain everything clearly and factually. They put up with some very dark times from me whilst this process was ongoing and helped or advised as much as they possibly could. They are extremely supportive and get the job done where they can. Going through this has been enormously hard for me and without the help from Carly and her team I don’t think I would have got through it. Thank you so much Carly for everything you’ve done, for your advice, guidance and help. If I could give more than 5* I would. I highly recommend Slee Blackwell Solicitors and Carly to anyone.

Made an appointment with Erin at this firm, when I called to confirm on the day, I was told they had been contacted by another person who had cancelled my appointment! I was never contacted to query or check the circumstances and had my time wasted in that day. More importantly I was shocked that they wouldn’t contact me to explain their decision. When I asked for an explanation I was told I would receive a call back, but no one ever did. I cannot consider any company who treats a client in this way as professional. I would avoid if possible.
