DEED OF GIFT

Having dealt with Slater Heelis for many years in relation to wills and trusts I automatically turned to the company when I needed to make several Deeds of Gift. Throughout the, sometimes complicated, matters were dealt with courteously and efficiently by Megan McMahon and that included helpful advice. I would have no hesitation in using her services again in the future if required.

Outstanding service - Paul Baker

From the very first time I spoke to Paul, when arranging to draw up my will, he showed nothing but professionalism, courtesy and respect, whilst at the same time, being very approachable, knowledgeable, easy to talk to and made me feel at ease, and that continued throughout my dealings with him. I found him to be a very affable, genuine man, who took time to explain the whole process very clearly to me. I would highly recommend Paul and indeed Slater Heelis in general.

Mike is a first class lawyer who takes time to fully understand his clients and deliver for them . He is a consummate professional explaining in full detail the options available and his recommendations as the best way forward. Due to the nature of his work my dealings with Mike have been in difficult circumstances but he has always delivered for me .

Personal Injury

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.
