Professional and pleasant to deal with

We chose Slater Heelis on Cross Street, Sale, as they have a physical presence in the office. We found our lawyer Helen Taylor, her secretary Alison Sorton and Executive Lisa Watson to be very professional and efficient, yet friendly and pleasant to deal with. Conveyancing was smooth, orderly, well-managed and they took the stress out of things. Communication was timely and they honoured our preferred method which made matters easier to track. Thank you also to the ladies on reception. The cost of the service compared well to others and was reasonable. We would recommend and will definitely consider using their services again.

Daniel Stern 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!

Dear Jason, Thank you for your review and recommendation. We are delighted to hear that Daniel provided prompt, clear, and effective support. It is pleasing to know that his advice and guidance helped you reach a timely and well-informed outcome.

Our conveyancing process ran through the Christmas period, yet everything was handled efficiently and professionally. Miriam and Daniel were excellent throughout, coordinating clearly with the estate agency and the seller’s solicitor. They were responsive whenever we had questions and kept us well informed at each stage. Thanks to their diligence and clear communication, the process progressed smoothly and we completed around 2 months since my offer is accepted. Highly recommend Miriam and Daniel and their conveyancing team.

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.

Crime/ Criminal Defence

Supportive, reassuring and knowledgeable solicitor, would highly recommend

After reaching out to the firm for help at a really scary time, Rachel Mason was brilliant. I needed to keep a handle on my costs in case matters escalated and so my case was handled by Rachel Mason. She was absolutely fantastic - she was always on hand to answer any of my queries along the way, in a clear and calm way that always left me feeling heard and reassured. She prepared brilliant written submissions to the investigating officer and gave such sensible and clear advice on the best strategy to take, which ultimately resulted in the investigation being dropped. She was cool and calm throughout, holding her nerve with waiting out the very long process of the police investigation and so reassuring when I felt scared along the way. She explained everything so well and communicated clearly and quickly in response to my queries, no matter how busy she was. Her knowledge and strategic advice was fantastic. She was also so empathetic, kind and understanding throughout. I would whole-heartedly recommend Rachel to anyone who finds themselves in the position of needing advice from a criminal solicitor.

Crime/ Criminal Defence

An empathetic, proactive and brilliant lawyer who really has your back

I reached out to Rachel at a really scary moment in my life that I never thought would happen. She was immediately so warm, reassuring and supportive and I instantly felt better knowing I had her to fight my corner. She was so empathetic and great at listening. She explained the process really well and advised of various practical ways she could approach the investigating police officer to get them to see the full picture and drop the investigation. She really respected my request for discretion and was so fair with fees, delegating to a colleague (Rachel Mason) to keep costs down where possible. She and her colleague always had time to answer to queries and settle my anxiety along the way, however busy they were. It was worth every penny to pay this team on a private paying basis rather than go to a legal aid firm. Anyone who finds themselves in a position to need a criminal solicitor, I would whole-heartedly recommend Rachel and her team.

Professional and Knowledgeable

I used Slater Healis on an out of court basis, obtaining advice and preparation of court documents whilst remaining a litigant in person. This was as a respondent to a Child Arrangements Order. David was very profession throught. He clearly explained all of my options with pros and cons of each. His advice and assistance was invaluable and I am happy to say that I got the outcome I wanted and what I believe is best for my child. Thank you David
