SOPO discharge application

This application process was carried out efficiently and to a successful conclusion by Jen Law. I was regularly updated on all steps in the process, and felt at all times that my interests in this matter were being supported as I would have hoped. The matter was concluded more swiftly than I had initially expected, and I am very satisfied in the work that has been done on my behalf.

Louise and her team have been exemplary

Being a return client, I already knew Louise and her excellent team members, Kim, Sharon and Helen.

They have been great throughout the process of the sale of the previous and purchase of the new home, and were pro-active when required, personal, responsive, patient and professional. They went above and beyond to get the purchase in particular over the line.

I could not recommend them more highly, and will not hesitate to use them again in the future.

Not a straightforward process due to difficult participants in the chain but Samantha Millington and
team from Slee Blackwell Solicitors came up with the results. Particular thanks to Rosie Martin and
the unseen workers behind the scene.

Professional service, as always! Calming and reassuring

Louise, Kim and Sharon are always so pleasant to deal with, and once again have demonstrated and empathetic, professional, calm and courteous service. Whilst conveyancing never appears to go without some form of drama, the Team always dealt with us so well, and were so very reassuring. Kim has dealt with my (large volume of) phone calls so professionally, yet with efficiency and good humour - what a star! Louise continues to be such a brilliant solicitor and we always recommend her to friends who are looking for conveyancing help. Thank you all so much for helping realise this project!

Excellent service.

Slee Blackwell have been absolutely brilliant throughout.
Clarissa, who dealt with our case, has been very professional, when dealing with me and my daughter, under very difficult circumstances. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Clarissa or Slee Blackwell to anyone. Very Happy with the outcome.

Had a great experience purchasing a property with Slee Blackwell acting as my solicitor. Buying a house is so stressful but everyone was really communicative with me, making sure I was updated and 'in the loop' the whole way through. Its clear that these guys actually care about their customers which is quite a rarity when it comes to solicitors. I will absolutely use them again in the future. Highly recommend

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

About this branch

Description

Slee Blackwell Solicitors are an award winning, Legal 500 recommended practice serving clients nationwide. 2020 was our centenary year. We have come a long way in the past one hundred plus years, but we remain committed to the principles of our founder Ernest Slee to provide the highest levels of professional service. We are proud to have been awarded Lexcel accreditation, the Law Society’s legal practice quality mark for excellence in legal practice management and legal client care. Our clients therefore have the peace of mind of knowing that their legal affairs are in safe hands and that their interests are being looked after by an established, accredited law firm that is dedicated to providing a first class service. While we provide a full range of legal services, we are known nationally for our expertise in a number of niche areas of law, including inheritance disputes, medical negligence and animal law. Our work has attracted a great deal of media attention. Medical negligence Lawyer, Oliver Thorne, has for instance been celebrated for spearheading the fight for justice of hundreds of British PIP breast implant victims in the French courts, as well as campaigning for the rights of mothers and babies who have been let down by our health services. Partner James McNally (awarded DASLS Solicitor of the Year 2024) has been dubbed 'The Dog Bite Solicitor' by The Guardian newspaper.
