A very safe pair of hands

Kristi has been exceptionally helpful at all stages of a rather complicated legal matter. She combines a razor-sharp mind with robust legal knowledge and tremendous interpersonal skills. I have no hesitation in recommending her.

David Lees,a knowledgeable, compassionate professional.

David; understood the nature and details concerning' the challenging to my late Father's will, not only had a accurate understanding of the details. He displayed a understanding of the unfortunate situation and feelings surrounding the matter. David always responded in a realistic time frame, was easy to talk with, but tremendously efficient, meticulous, knowledgeable and goal driven This allowed him to gain and retain my trust whilst successfully progressing things with haste. Exactly what you need from top notch Solicitor in matters such as these.

Persistent and insightful

Elizabeth has been an absolute diamond. She pushed and pushed… and pushed for my claim! She explained everything she possibly could for me and reassured me with my every worry. I had a couple misunderstandings and she was ever so kind and understanding and explained those couple things more clearer for me. If for any reason I needed to make another claim or had someone come up to me and ask for a good solicitor I would definitely mention Elizabeth at Slee Blackwell! Again, thank you ever so much and wish you all the best in your future endeavours Elizabeth!

Incredible solicitor extremely professional but also personable


I have felt very fortunate to have had Elizabeth as the solicitor at the head of my claim, she has been incredibly professional and thorough throughout, whilst simultaneously being very supportive, empathetic, and ensuring I was completely informed at all times.
During my recovery from my accident at work and other life events I have struggled at times with communication and memory amongst other things, of which Elizabeth has gone above and beyond to make sure that processes have been of little stress to me as possible and has been incredibly patient and supportive throughout, again hugely empathetic and also ensured processes with the claim ran smoothly.
She has updated me regularly throughout and quickly responded to emails and enquiries.
She has a wonderful manner and is professional and polite, but importantly is also easy to get on with and talk to. I have felt very reassured by her and ‘looked after’ as such throughout the entire process.
She ensured the case was solid and strong and all aspects covered throughout, resulting in a positive outcome with an out of court settlement offer.
She has gone above and beyond in my opinion and I’ve felt truly supported by her throughout the process. The result not only was positive in terms of compensation payment but it has helped restore my confidence and made me feel heard and listened to. I can continue recovery now which would not have been accessible in terms of therapy etc without her and her teams hard work.
Thank you for everything you have done Elizabeth, Slee and Blackwell are lucky to have you!

Exceptional Legal Representation: A Five-Star Experience

I recently had the pleasure of working with Anya Hoyland from Slee Blackwell Solicitors LLP, and I cannot express enough how satisfied I am with the outstanding legal services provided. From the initial consultation to the successful resolution of my case, every step of the way was handled with the utmost professionalism and expertise.

First and foremost, Anya Hoyland exhibited an impressive depth of knowledge and experience in their field. They took the time to thoroughly understand the nuances of my situation and provided invaluable guidance on the best course of action. Their attention to detail and ability to strategize effectively were instrumental in achieving a favorable outcome.

Moreover, throughout the entire process, Anya Hoyland demonstrated exceptional communication skills. They kept me informed and updated at every stage, promptly addressing any concerns or questions I had. This level of transparency and accessibility truly set them apart and provided me with peace of mind during what could have been a stressful time.

Furthermore, Anya Hoyland exhibited a genuine commitment to advocating for my best interests. Their dedication and tenacity were evident in their approach, as they tirelessly worked to ensure that my rights were protected and that justice was served. I felt reassured knowing that I had such a dedicated advocate fighting on my behalf.

In addition to their legal prowess, Anya Hoyland also demonstrated empathy and compassion throughout our interactions. They took the time to understand not only the legal aspects of my case but also the personal implications it had on my life. This human touch made all the difference and further solidified my trust and confidence in their abilities.

Overall, I cannot recommend Anya Hoyland and Slee Blackwell Solicitors LLP highly enough. Their exemplary professionalism, communication, dedication, and empathy truly set them apart as a top-tier legal team. If you are in need of legal representation, look no further than Anya Hoyland – you won't be disappointed.

Was efficient, prompt, and overall highly effective. I cannot recommend anyone more deft in her trade than Kristi Kirkham. Giving a 10/10 would be a injustice to Kristi, her work cannot be measured. Highly professional.

I liked that we were using a local company where you could have a face to face meeting if/when necessary. Our solicitor kept us informed throughout the process, was generally quick with replying and was patient with explanations when we needed. We had a few ‘queries’ but these were soon rectified. Anya (our solicitor) was professional but also approachable and did her utmost to keep to our brief. She has made a stressful situation easier as well as achieving an outcome we would not have been able to rectify without her help. I would certainly use Slee Blackwell (Anya Hoyland) again.

About this branch

Description

Slee Blackwell Solicitors are an award winning, Legal 500 recommended practice serving clients nationwide. 2020 was our centenary year. We have come a long way in the past one hundred plus years, but we remain committed to the principles of our founder Ernest Slee to provide the highest levels of professional service. We are proud to have been awarded Lexcel accreditation, the Law Society’s legal practice quality mark for excellence in legal practice management and legal client care. Our clients therefore have the peace of mind of knowing that their legal affairs are in safe hands and that their interests are being looked after by an established, accredited law firm that is dedicated to providing a first class service. While we provide a full range of legal services, we are known nationally for our expertise in a number of niche areas of law, including inheritance disputes, medical negligence and animal law. Our work has attracted a great deal of media attention. Medical negligence Lawyer, Oliver Thorne, has for instance been celebrated for spearheading the fight for justice of hundreds of British PIP breast implant victims in the French courts, as well as campaigning for the rights of mothers and babies who have been let down by our health services. Partner James McNally (who has been shortlisted for Claimant Lawyer of the Year at the 2021 National Personal Injury Awards) has been dubbed 'The Dog Bite Solicitor' by The Guardian newspaper.
