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.

Great experience with Kirsty Jones and Slee Blackwell

Kirsty Jones was recommended to me by a friend. I couldn't be happier with the service I received from her and her team who went above and beyond to provide me with expert advice through a challenging buying process. She always provided updates in a timely manner, was extremely professional and helped me navigate through some complex legalities as a first time buyer with ease. I couldn't recommend her highly enough.

Having recently moved house and concluded conveyancing for our sale and purchase, I have no hesitation in recommending them. At times the process was fraught with difficulties/delays but eventually got over the line with an almost simultaneous exchange and completion- a day apart. Special recognition for Debbie Fernandez whose attention to detail and communication was superb. Highly recommended

Glad to hear that your transaction went through despite all the trials and tribulations. Thank you for finding time to leave your review and for the kind recommendation. We hope you are very happy in your new home.

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!

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!

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.
