Over the finishing line

It was a slow start due to some incorrect date from the 3rd party, but then moved on a pace. I was impressed with the referrals sent. The psychologist was excellent. However the Orth consultant not to my expected standards bearing in mind i work in a hospital environment especially around Patient Experience. I think a fair deal was struck and appreciate the communications at every stage. Simon is level headed and even handed so felt i could trust his judgements.

Exceeded Expectations

I approached Slater Heelis re my road traffic injury. I was lucky enough to be appointed Simon Adamson as my solicitor. I cannot praise his dedication, professionalism and patience with my case, which lasted 3 years and was resolved in my favour. Would definitely recommend Mr Adamson and Slater Heelis to anyone needing legal help in personal injury.

Avoid Avoid Avoid!... yes I googled for the best solicitors I could find after I needed a solicitor i could trust while divorcing my now ex wife! Who comes to my rescue... Aaron Williams, the only person I know that's lies more than my beloved ex... I've had to beg him to reply to emails.. phone calls... whatsapp messages, the man lied to me regarding sending documents to the court... which delayed my life!... yes I then reached out to him one last time copying several of the slaterheelis partners... who comes to my rescue... Mark Heptinstall, Aaron's leader.... as important as you think your life is... never ever think this guy is in your corner!... after admitting there was an internal investigation on Aaron which he clearly told me Aaron was at fault and had not fully given me full important information, and lied about sending the consent order to the court... he was worse to contact, always someone else is more important..because of this key dates were missed..which led to an ugly confrontation with my ex... he then gives me a large bill to pay for ASAP... but no explanation as to what it was for.... only when I confronted him he told me he would do no more work until it was paid...he states i refused to pay, when in actual fact I did not know what I was paying for!...no itemised bill at this point!...(just another lie)... oh, and his fee was over £100 more than Aaron’s, yes he back tracked on the fee, but only after i questioned this. I'm now back on medication for depression, this is nothing to do with my cheating ex that took me for a considerable amount of money... but these two individuals that clearly are the modern day dickturpins.... save yourself the same stress i unfortunately endured and avoid. I've explained to Mark Heptinstall I was to go through the complaints procedure with Slater Heelis then the ombudsman, his reply was i can do as i like...now that comment hurt!!....seems he's a man can clearly sleep well at night.... and to finish the review.... i ended up finishing my case on my own contacting my ex's solicitor... it took one day!... for any other Slaterheelis partners that may care..... I'm happy to forward all emails and messages!

Daniel was excellent for a service relating to a notice to terminate which we had contacted him for. We contacted him on short notice and requested this to be sorted fast, which once we had explained to Daniel the situation he was very helpful in. He provided the conclusion ahead of the required date, breaking our options down, and giving us competent advice. Would recommend highly to anyone else looking for help in this sort of matter. Thanks Daniel!
