Fantastic service
Helen handled a property matter for me and was superb throughout the process - efficient, communicative and authoritative. She was also transparent about fees, which were reasonable and justified considering the amount of work involved. Helen was a simply pleasure to deal with. Highly recommended.

A pleasure to work with
Alex was a calming and reassuring voice throughout the whole process. This is very important as, naturally, a personal inquiry case is something that brings up traumatic memories, requires engaging with various medical experts and so forth. It makes a great difference to feel your solicitor is really on your side and is giving honest and sensible advice. He was always very personable, approachable and professional, it was a pleasure to work with him.
A representative from Slater Heelis responded to this review on 18 April, 2024:
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We deeply appreciate your positive feedback regarding Alex's support and professionalism throughout your Personal Injury case. It is our priority to provide compassionate and knowledgeable guidance, especially during such sensitive matters.

Rachel's professionalism and expertise made me feel comfortable and reassured throughout the entire process. She communicated clearly, addressed all my concerns promptly, and provided sound guidance every step of the way. Knowing that I had her support and guidance alleviated much of the stress often associated with legal matters. I truly appreciate her dedication and would confidently recommend her to anyone seeking legal assistance.

Nobody in their right mind would want to spend money on a lawyer, right? So choose Mark, he is the best value for money, and very, very good too. Five stars or more.

First class client service from start to finish
Alex Goldrein was my main point of contact from start to finished during my divorce. I chose Alex for her direct but friendly approach and we quickly built a strong working relationship. Alex did not overly correspond and got the balance of interaction with me spot on throughout our 18 months of dealings.
From the outset, Alex proactively advocated mediation for my case until this was rejected by the other side. After recommending an excellent barrister, we were able to create and submit a fair and balanced, without prejudice offer framed in current and relevant case law. Furthermore, Alex recommended a private FDR hearing process which accelerated the process and ultimately resulted in an outcome that was inline with my original without prejudice offer.
Alex has a strong legal mind, which is framed in the current and relevant direction of the institution of divorce law. She has been constantly available and supportive through this difficult time and has ultimately achieved an outcome that is very similar, if not better, than she articulated at the start of process. Would fully recommend Alex as a trusted legal advisor. Thank you!
A representative from Slater Heelis responded to this review on 12 April, 2024:
Thank you, Ryan! We're pleased to hear about your positive experience with Alex Goldrein during your divorce. Her expertise and support were invaluable, and we're grateful for your recommendation. Best Regards, Slater Heelis

Absolute waste of time. Complete train wreck. As a whole a complete waste of 8K for family court.
Gone to a different solicitor now, they were baffled by what my barrister did in family court and messed up.
Wish I could get my money back but that ain't gonna happen is it.

Daniel did an excellent job with the purchase of our first home. He was a great advocate and well informed. He was able to give fast and reliable advice and was readily available to answer any concerns we had. He is the only solicitor that came recommended and he is the only person I would use for a house purchase going forward. Thank you Daniel.
A representative from Slater Heelis responded to this review on 02 April, 2024:
Hi Robert. It's fantastic to hear about your positive experience with Daniel while purchasing your first home. His advocacy, reliability, and availability seem to have made the process smooth and stress-free for you. Thank you for sharing your feedback, and I'm sure Daniel will be delighted to hear your kind words!

Shere
Slater Heelis quoted around £800 for a neighbourhood dispute letter! He claimed they need to charge these sorts of fees to open a case and quipped we're not a forwarding service. The letter was in my grammar! Not exactly nuclear physics for Slater H!
Quickly got an SRA solicitor to do the job for £400, in Trafford, expeditiously.
