Outstanding support during a very difficult property dispute

I cannot thank Anya Hoyland enough for all of her help and support throughout my case. This was an extremely stressful and emotional property dispute that had been ongoing for a long time, and Anya was professional, patient and supportive throughout. She always took the time to explain matters clearly, keep me informed of developments and provide reassurance when needed. What stood out most was that I never felt like just another client. Anya genuinely listened to my concerns, took the time to understand the issues involved, and was always willing to discuss matters whenever I needed guidance or clarification. During some very difficult periods, her calm and professional approach made a huge difference. The matter ultimately achieved a far better outcome than I had feared, and I am incredibly grateful for the work Anya put into helping me reach that position. Throughout the process she remained approachable, responsive and committed to achieving the best possible outcome for me, and I always felt that she genuinely cared about my case. I would not hesitate to recommend Anya to anyone seeking legal representation. Thank you, Anya, for all of your hard work, support and dedication throughout my case. It is very much appreciated.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Service from Samantha Millington at Slee Blackwell Solicitors

I recently completed the purchase of my property and was supported throughout by Samantha Millington at Slee Blackwell Solicitors. The service was excellent from start to finish. Samantha was detailed, thorough, and consistently followed up, ensuring nothing was ever left hanging. We had a number of issues to navigate along the way, and she stepped us through every single phase with clarity and reassurance. Her communication was proactive, her guidance was spot‑on, and her commitment to keeping the process moving made a huge difference. I would thoroughly recommend Samantha and Slee Blackwell Solicitors — and would use them again without hesitation.

What an excellent company.

Although I did not meet our solicitor personally, she supplied us with everything via a member of the family. All is now complete and a big thank you is being sent.

From the moment we made our first contact with Jen, we have had nothing but friendly, swift and accurate advice. Whilst not their client directly (it was our son who was involved with a case), they have understood that because of his learning difficulties, we had an important role to play in supporting both our son and their approach to the case, and as such have been kept constantly up to date with progress and have welcomed and valued their communication with us.

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.

I can’t thank Caroline and the team at Slee Blackwell enough. They could have easily turned me away, but they didn’t, instead they worked ferociously for five years on my case, booking appointments for me in London gathering expert opinions, having face to face and online meetings with me, keeping me up to date, and also explaining things clearly whenever I didn’t understand (which was often!). Just an incredible team. However, beyond this, I felt like they genuinely cared, which meant a lot more to me, as a legal journey inevitably brings up a lot, and they’re a very empathetic team. Thank you to Caroline and the team at Slee, it’s been one hell of a journey, and I appreciate all your effort to get me through it. I’d recommend you any day of the week.

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

Jen Law was extremely helpful, proactive, professional and friendly in dealing with my matter, and the desired outcome was fully achieved. With the current health situation, plus the fact that I am abroad, it was brilliant to be able to handle the entire matter by email. Jen contacted me regularly and unprompted to keep me in the loop, so I was always up to date with the progress of the matter. This was helpful when there were updates, and reassuring when there were quiet periods waiting for other stakeholders to act. I also received regular cost updates, which was reassuring to prevent any unpleasant surprises at the end. The cost breakdowns were always clear and easy to understand. I would happily recommend Jen, and many thanks also to her administrative colleagues Sarah, Danielle and Jasmine.

Thank you so much for your 5 star review. Jen and the team were absolutely delighted to receive your feedback. Lee Dawkins, partner.

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.

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.

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.
