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.

Exceptional Support and Dedication in Securing Justice for My Mum

I cannot thank Sleeblackwell Solicitors, and in particular James McNally and his team, enough for the exceptional support, dedication and professionalism they have shown to my mum and our family over the past six years. In 2020, my mum was attacked by a resident’s dog and suffered devastating injuries. The attack occurred as a result of the owner’s negligence in failing to properly secure the dog on his premises. Sadly, after two other law firms declined to take on the case, largely because the defendant claimed not to have pet or home insurance, we were left feeling that my mum might never receive justice. That was when I contacted Sleeblackwell Solicitors and spoke with James McNally. From our very first conversation, James listened attentively to everything I had to say. He was completely honest about how difficult the case would be, particularly given the defendant’s claimed lack of financial means to pay compensation, but despite the challenges, he was willing to take the case on and fight for my mum. What followed was six years of litigation, persistence and determination. Yesterday, we finally reached the outcome we had been hoping and fighting for, and my mum was awarded compensation for the injuries and suffering she endured. Throughout those six years, James and his entire team were nothing short of exceptional. I live in the UAE, James and his firm are based in the South of England, and my mum lives in the North of England, so managing the case involved countless emails, Zoom calls and long-distance telephone conversations. I was advocating for my mum throughout the entire process, and James and his team were incredibly supportive, patient and understanding every step of the way. They took the time to listen to every detail and every piece of information I provided, even over such a long and challenging period. We never felt that our case was simply another file on a desk. Their commitment, compassion and determination gave us the confidence to keep going, even when the process felt overwhelming. James, and everyone at Sleeblackwell Solicitors, played an enormous part in helping our family finally achieve justice for my mum. We will always be incredibly grateful for everything they have done. Thank you, from myself, my mum and our entire family. We wholeheartedly appreciate your dedication and everything you have done for us over the past six years.

I can’t thank Jasmine, Isabel and the whole Slee Blackwell team enough. I contacted them for help following a very traumatic dog attack. The service that I received was so much more than I ever could have asked for. They were incredibly compassionate and friendly and understood that my scars weren’t just physical but also emotional, and supported me throughout the whole process. Communication was 10/10 as they made sure I was up to date with every decision and development. I can’t recommend them enough!! Thank you!!

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!

Best solicitor I’ve ever used

I found Slee Blackwell very professional and I was very fortunate to have Shanna representing me. She is incredibly competent and diligent and her communication skills were first rate. Everything was explained clearly and I was kept fully aware. The transaction was completed slightly later than I had hoped but had it not been for Shannna it would have taken a lot longer. I can not recommend Slee Blackwell enough and Shanna was everything a Solicitor should be. Thank you

Excellent Experience with Slee Blackwell

We used Slee Blackwell to assist with the selling and buying of our Home. Our Solicitor was Helen Hine and she was amazing throughout all the ups and downs that come with buying and selling property. Helen was very efficient, proffesional and approachable. Nothing was ever to much to ask and Helen was really good at making information clear so we understood questions and was always only a phone call or email away. Thank you so much for helping us move into our dream home.

House purchase

We honestly can’t thank Louise Langabeer at Slee Blackwell enough for all her help with our house purchase. Louise was brilliant from start to finish — so responsive, efficient and just really easy to deal with. She was always on the ball and kept things moving, which made such a difference during a very stressful process. Things became particularly complicated because of complications arising from another conveyancing company, and Louise ended up going above and beyond to get things sorted and make sure we were still able to complete on time. We genuinely don’t think we would have got there without her. She was an absolute pleasure to deal with and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone. Couldn’t recommend Louise and her fantastic team highly enough!

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.

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!
