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.

Monetary reimbursement dispute

We had to engage with a solicitor when action was brought against us. We employed the services of our current solicitor firm and were directed to their specialist in this area of dispute. We found Jen Law to be very professional, friendly, approachable and extremely helpful. Spoke clearly and made us feel at ease in dealing with a difficult matter.

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.

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!

Kirsty Jones at Slee Blackwell Solicitors (Barnstaple) for conveyancing.

Absolutely brilliant service – went above and beyond to save our chain! We wanted to leave this review to say a huge thank you to Kirsty Jones, her assistant Lauren,Sue and everyone at the firm for the incredible help and support they gave us during our recent house sale and purchase. From day one, Kirsty was professional, knowledgeable, and always quick to respond to any questions we had. Lauren and Sue were also fantastic – keeping us regularly updated and making sure nothing slipped through the net. We used Kirsty Jones and her team for both our house sale and the purchase of the property we moved into. Most notably, the week before the agreed date to exchange contracts, the buyers solicitor, also used Slee Blackwell but the Braunton branch ,went on holiday. This directly threatened our agreed exchange date and would have caused everything to stall, putting our whole chain at risk. However, true to form, Kirsty stepped straight in – sending a colleague to the Braunton branch to take over the workload and keep everything moving forward. In short: 0/10 for their solicitor, but a solid 10/10 for Kirsty! Add to this, Kirsty and her team completely made up for the slow, unhelpful involvement we had from our estate agent. The agent let things drag, didn’t communicate and brought nothing but problems and unresolved issues to us, while Kirsty was proactive, reliable, and determined to get the job done. We cannot recommend Kirsty Jones, Lauren and Sue highly enough. If you want conveyancing handled properly, with people who will go the extra mile when it matters most, look no further. Thank you again!

Clear, calm advice

Kristi helped me to navigate a quite unpleasant experience with a Will and its subsequent probate. She was clear and extremely knowledgeable, and able to see what my situation was very quickly. I was able to pursue a positive outcome as a direct result of contacting her.

Anya has been incredibly supportive throughout my time working with her and has shown me a great deal of care and compassion. I always felt very well looked after and comfortable asking her anything. Any questions or concerns I had were promptly answered, and she took great care to explain everything, ensuring I was always well-informed and prepared throughout every step of the process. As this was my first experience dealing with legal proceedings, I felt I couldn't have been in safer or more knowledgeable hands. I am forever grateful to her for all the time and effort she dedicated to representing me.

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.
