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 engaged in this service after being given bad advice from another firm – the advice from Slee Blackwell was accurate, dealt with in a timely fashion and most importantly the advice was clear that we were able to navigate through the legal jargon. Would not hesitate to recommend or use again if needed

We would recommend Slee Blackwell Solicitors, Tiverton to anyone needing a conveyancer to see them through both the selling and purchasing sides of moving house. Naomi was brilliant, keeping us informed all the time. Although much communication is done on-line these days, whenever we popped in to the office to drop something off or to ask a question she was always willing to spare us a few minutes if she was not in a meeting. We really appreciated this personal touch.

I can highly recommend Kirsty Jones & Slee Blackwell Solicitors. Kirsty handled the conveyancing for selling my home & for buying my new home. Kirsty gives a first class service & always responded in a timely manner. She is an extremely competent Professional & she was always there for me. I would definitely use her again.

Dear Vanessa, Thank you for your feedback. We’re delighted to hear that Chris Holden provided clear, concise, and helpful advice, delivered with professionalism and courtesy. Your recommendation and continued trust in his services are greatly appreciated.
I had an excellent experience working with Chris Holten and his secretary, Sharnie Jenkins. Chris was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to clearly explain every step of the process, which made a potentially stressful situation much easier to manage. His attention to detail and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome were evident throughout. Sharnie was equally impressive—friendly, organised, and always quick to respond to any questions or updates. Her efficiency and supportive approach helped everything run smoothly from start to finish. I would highly recommend Chris and Sharnie to anyone looking for reliable, professional, and genuinely caring legal support.

From the initial contact, all the way through the process, James and his team were excellent. Thorough, knowledgeable, informative, personable and professional. The help and advice given made the slightly worrying and daunting experience run smoothly. As with many legal issues it wasn't a quick process but I was kept up to date at all times. I would highly recommend James.

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.

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’re pleased to hear that Kirsty Jones and the team were able to support you through what sounds like a very difficult and stressful situation, and that matters were ultimately resolved so you could remain in your home. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and your recommendation.
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.
A wonderful & professional service throughout from Kirstie & Lauren, in what can be a very stressful situation.
Thank you very much for finding the time to leave a review for the work carried out by Kirstie and Lauren. It is greatly appreciated by us at Slee Blackwell.

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.

Many thanks for your kind review. We hope you are very happy in your new home. Best wishes, Slee Blackwell.
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.
