Caring Professional Service

In our roles as financial planners we evaluate our clients current financial situation, and determining their short and long term financial goals, then creating a strategic plan to meet these goals and objectives.
Part of our life planning process is discussing and dealing our eventual death and what our requirements are for dealing with our estate.
A will is the only way to make sure your money, property, possessions and investments (known as your estate) go to the people and causes you care about.
A will that has been drawn up by professional persons who demonstrate Care and the willingness listen is priceless!
We have known and worked alongside Chris Partington for many years, his professionalism and sense of care and willingness to go that extra mile for and on behalf of our clients, has been reflected in the strength of our client relationship.

Incredible support from Louise Richardson

I found Slater Heelis after reading reviews online and I'm so pleased I chose them to support me through family court. Despite being as stressful as you can imagine, Louise was there for me every step of the way with sound advice and a pro-active approach that ultimately led to the outcome we wanted. If you are looking for advice and guidance through the process, please bear the Slater Heelis team in mind, you will be in good hands.

Multiple concurrent property transactions

Helen acted for us during the sale of our home, purchase of a new build property and also the purchase of a leasehold apartment. She was meticulous in all areas, and worked hard to resolve several issues that she identified. Always approachable, queries were answered promptly and regularly converted into layman's terms to assist understanding. We would definitely use her again.

Codicil prepared to existing will

New baby in family required a Codicil to existing will to give the same entitlement to the new member as his siblings.
The company acted quickly and professionally, with clear instructions and requests. The only difficulty was in gaining access to their building to deliver requested papers. The entry buttons were partially covered and unclear, and a badge was requested (?); fortunately people coming into the building assisted, and the receptionist on the counter was extremely helpful.
This must have been a glitch, I would definitely recommend the solicitors and use them again if necessary.
Many thanks to the company for their courtesy, especially to Ms Nasreen. Aslam.

Very professional and great communication

I would highly recommend Helen, she was amazing from start to finish. Great communication and kept me informed throughout the process of my house sale. Helen’s professionalism and expertise were great as she was able to help with matters and explain them to me clearly as this was my first time buying a home. She put me at ease during the process and always kept me informed and advised me throughout. The sale was completed in a timely manner and any queries I had she answered efficiently, always in a timely manner and with great legal knowledge. It was a pleasure working with Helen and would highly recommend to anyone purchasing a property.

I would like to express my gratitude to solicitor Amy Price for the professional advice and guidance she provided during my divorce case. She was incredibly efficient, compassionate, and always responded with remarkable speed. Before I met Amy, I had dealt with other solicitors from different firms who were not as helpful, and I ended up wasting quite a bit of money. That experience made me realize how fortunate I was to find Amy and how efficient she is. Now that my case has finally come to a conclusion, I especially want to thank her for the hard work and dedication she put into it.
