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.

I have instructed Slaterheelis on three separate occasions and I have dealt with Ashleigh on all three, dealing with two Wills and Probate. Ashleigh has been professional, friendly and extremely helpful on all occasions and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.

Family Law

Family proceedings

I honestly can't thank my family solicitor enough for everything she did for me. Going through a family matter was one of the most difficult times in my life, but from the very beginning she made me feel listened to, supported, and reassured. She always took the time to explain things in a way I could understand, kept me updated throughout, and she was always there when I needed advice or reassurance. Her communication was always very quick. What stood out the most was her genuine compassion and understanding. I never felt like just another clien. She truly cared about me and my family and worked tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome. Her professionalism, kindness, and dedication made an incredibly stressful situation so much easier to cope with. I will always be grateful for everything she did for me and would recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, knowledgeable, and trustworthy family solicitor. I had the best outcome for my family. Thank you so much for your support it means more to me than words can say.

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!
