“Brilliant Solicitor Who Delivered a Winning Result – She Absolutely Delivered!”

I can’t recommend my solicitor highly enough. From the very first meeting, she took full control of my case with clear advice, professionalism, and genuine care. She worked tirelessly, kept me updated every step of the way, and fought hard on my behalf. Thanks to her expertise and determination, we achieved a complete win. She made a stressful situation manageable and ultimately turned it into a success. If you need someone you can truly trust to get results, look no further. Outstanding service and a fantastic outcome. Thank you!

Friendly and Professional Service

Having been dissatisfied with the progress being made by my previous solicitor, I reached out to Rebecca Lang for advice and she was fantastic, approachable and professional, so I transferred my case across to her and am so glad that I did so! Rebecca made this challenging time somewhat easier for me to get through, and I am grateful for the help and advice she gave along the way.

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!

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!

Highly Professional and Excellent Service from Charlotte Beck - Slater Heelis

Charlotte was incredibly friendly, understanding, and supportive from our very first telephone conversation. She immediately stood out by taking the time to listen and offering specific guidance tailored to my situation. Throughout my first meeting, Charlotte provided outstanding professional support. She was approachable, compassionate, and always explained information clearly, making what could have been a very difficult process much easier to navigate. Charlotte offered practical advice and helpful suggestions on specific issues, ensuring I felt informed and supported every step of the way. I would highly recommend Charlotte to anyone seeking professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely expertise with their divorce.

Exceptional and Inclusive Employment Law Support

While my case is ongoing, from the very start, Slater Heelis and Sylviane have been exceptional. When no one else was willing to take on my employment law matter, Sylviane and the team at Slater Heelis stepped in with unwavering support, expertise, and inclusivity. Sylviane has been amazing throughout the entire process, and I feel fortune to have her support. She guided me with clarity, continuously accommodated my circumstances, and always provided grounded, actionable advice that helped me move forward with confidence. Thanks to her, I now feel in a strong, empowered position, something I did not feel at the beginning. As a domestic abuse survivor who is neurodivergent, disabled, and from the LGBTQIA+ community, the incredible quality of service and affirming experience has been invaluable. Working with Sylviane has been brilliant, the expertise, empathy, and dedication are a joy to work with. In today’s often hostile climate, knowing there’s an inclusive, reliable option like Slater Heelis and Sylviane for employment law gives me reassurance for the community, that we won’t be ignored, and that there are options for support so we can seek justice and continue to live our lives with pride. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sylviane and Slater Heelis to my peers or anyone seeking compassionate, high-quality legal support, especially those who need an ally in employment disputes. Whatever happens with my case, thank you for being the support I desperately needed.
