Fantastic service

I was really pleased with how Clarissa handled our case. She would work on it at all times of the day, even responding to emails that I’d send at night. We were kept up to date throughout, explaining anything that we didn’t understand. I would highly recommend her. Thanks Clarissa.

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!

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.

We are Buckinghamshire based and our experience so far with Jade and Clarissa has been fantastic. The team are very friendly and caring and very willing to help you in any way they can. A few solicitors had turned our case down but Jade went that one step further for us and recognised we had a case for medical negligence. We cant thank them enough for helping us with our claim and providing the support.

Oliver Thorne acted for Me in an extremely sensitive case regarding clinical negligence. From the very beginning Oliver was very professional and supportive throughout the process and fully respected my views and wishes. Oliver was very prompt in his responses to Me and always had the answers I needed, albeit sometimes not things I wanted to hear regarding the information and facts he fought to get. I will forever be grateful for his honesty and determination. I have recommended him to some friends and family and will continue to do so. Thank you so much Oliver and team! I'm so grateful for everything!

Transfer of Equity

Slee Blackwell provided all necessary conveyancing and legal services and advice to enable the title transfer for a Potentially Exempt Transfer (PET) of a property involving three parties in three different locations. All transactions were conducted online promptly and efficiently. Communications were excellent throughout the process which was completed in just over two weeks.

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.
