Excellent Service from Start to Finish

I would highly recommend Richard and his team for the way they handled my personal injury claim following my accident in July 2022. The claim was unfortunately dragged out by the other side for a considerable amount of time, which was frustrating, but Richard remained professional and supportive throughout. He kept me informed at every stage, explained everything clearly and was always available whenever I had questions or needed advice. Over the four years that the claim took to reach its conclusion, I always felt that Richard was working hard on my behalf and had my best interests at heart. He dealt with the legal side of things professionally and made sure I understood what was happening throughout the process. In the end, Richard achieved a result that I was very happy with, and I am extremely grateful for all the work he put into my case. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Richard to anyone who needs a solicitor following an accident. He is professional, approachable, knowledgeable and genuinely cares about getting the best possible outcome for his clients. Thank you, Richard, for all your hard work and support over the last four years. It is very much appreciated

Road traffic accident with an injury needing a hip replacement

Very prompt response. Simon Adamson engaged and listened attentively to my parents and worked at a pace that my parents were comfortable with. He explained the process clearly and simply. Simon always communicated on a regular basis and was approachable and available. 10 out of 10 for everything he did. Very respectful and courteous and an asset to your practice.

Exceptional Support and Outstanding Service

Simon Adamson provided outstanding support throughout my mum’s personal injury claim following her Uber accident. As my mum is an international citizen, the case involved additional complexities, but Simon handled everything with exceptional professionalism, expertise, and patience. Throughout the entire process, he kept us informed, explained every stage clearly, and was always available to answer our questions. His communication was excellent, and he made what could have been a very stressful experience much easier to manage, despite the challenges involved. Thanks to Simon’s dedication and hard work, my mum’s claim was successfully resolved, and the compensation was received without any issues. We are truly grateful for his commitment, attention to detail, and the care he showed our family from start to finish. I am extremely grateful for everything Simon did for my mum and our family. His professionalism, dedication, and support were greatly appreciated, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of an excellent solicitor.

Family Law

Very highly recommended!

Chloe Huggins at Slater Heelis was my family solicitor during the most awful period of my life, and she was brilliant. The situation that I was suddenly and unexpectedly plunged into by my ex was incredibly stressful and difficult, but Chloe was fantastic throughout. She gave great advice, handled everything very professionally, and was always approachable and easy to reach when needed. And thank goodness, because of Chloe's excellent knowledge, advice, and professionalism, we ultimately got the outcome we needed. I very highly recommend Chloe, especially if you are in a difficult family law situation involving the custody of children. Thank you Chloe!

Excellent Support and Professional Negotiation

I had a very positive experience working with Sylviane. She was professional, responsive and extremely helpful throughout the process. What really stood out was how effectively she handled the negotiation on my behalf. She understood what I was looking for, gave clear and practical advice, and negotiated firmly while keeping everything professional and straightforward. Sylviane was always easy to communicate with and kept me updated throughout. I felt that my interests were genuinely being looked after, and the whole process was handled efficiently and with care. I would definitely recommend Sylviane to anyone looking for professional and reliable support.
