First house purchase

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 can recommended and he is the only person I would use for a house purchase going forward. Thank you Daniel.

Couldn't have asked for more

I never imagined we'd be in a situation where we would have to face a police arrest. For anyone who has been through it will tell you it's the most terrifying experience. It has a huge impact on your life, your family's life and is going into the unknown. Hannah acted for us immediately. She not only helped me understand exactly what was going to happen and what to expect but made me feel I could talk to her without judgement. That first conversation gave me confidence that Hannah was the right person to help us through. She is knowledgeable, caring and a constant support. Any questions were answered immediately. Any concerns she took our call and after every call and meeting I came away feeling supported and reassured.

For anyone finding themselves in need of legal assistance look no further. This isn't just a job for Hannah she lives and breathes your case with you. Many thanks

A great outcome

I contacted Mike because we had a claim from an ex-employee. This came via a very angry and forceful letter form a solicitors practice acting on their behalf. Mike was immediately reassuring but honest and recommended we bring in a KC to send a very robust response. We took his advice and the claimant immediately backed down. I quick and very satisfactory outcome.
Mike is also thoroughly professional at all times and very responsive (even out of hours!)

Excellent service

When I found myself in the unfortunate situation of needing a divorce I was recommended Slater Heelis, and Kim
Aucott in particular. Kim expertly guided me through one of the most difficult experiences of my life with compassion and skill. Kim was realistic and fair, and sought a settlement that was not only best for me but best for my children. She was professional at all times. I would have no hesitation in recommending Kim, and the firm as whole to anyone needing legal advice and support.

Glowing recommendation for dealing with a sensitive matter

Hannah was kind, truly professional, an acute listener and truly value for money. I was dealing with a difficult and quite alarming legal matter and Hannah steered me successfully through the key points which resolved the matter quickly and efficiently. And I would like to say there was a golden thread of understanding and kindness throughout which was much appreciated.

Great professional and personal advice

Patricia Robinson provided me a high quality service and counsel in my divorce proceedings in what was a complex financial case with multiple high value assets both physical and liquid

Patricia's advice was both professional on the process, what to expect, how to respond and information needed, but also personal, providing me with insight as to what was the 'norm' for cases like mine, the emotions surrounding them and also how to navigate what at times were challenging communications from other parties

While a stressful time, Patricia's advice resulted in a settlement being agreed at a private FDR which was our preferred outcome

Id recommend Patricia and Slater Heelis for professional, pragmatic and solutions oriented advice in what can be complex and difficult journey to navigate

Support for Wills, POA and Civil Partnership

Our solicitor helped support my partner and I through the process of replacing our Wills, POA and reviewed civil partnership vs marriage options with respect to estate planning and impact of inheritance tax etc. Great service and support by Ali and the team of advisors that he brought in for specific questions or advice. The review request does not show potential areas for improvement, so have listed one just here. We have now had multiple services provided by Slaterheelis for property sales/purchase as well as estate planning. In general, each time we have to fill out a new client form - perhaps there is a way to stream line this so as to not be so repetitive, but still allow for each activity to be clearly listed, fees and service acknowledged.

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.

A rather expensive solicitor for such shockingly dismal service. Steer clear!
