5/5 Would Divorce Again…. (But hopefully not)

This review is for a different branch.

Mark Heptinstall and his team made my divorce so smooth, that I almost felt guilty for not being more miserable. Compassionate, sharp and filled with confidence, they turned one of life’s hardest processes into something strangely manageable. If you have to get divorced, these are the people you want in your corner…

Throughout the process, I received deep legal expertise but also genuine compassion and calm reassurance. The guidance was always clear, thoughtful and focused on reducing my stress levels. Mark managed to make the whole experience smooth, drama-free and surprisingly empowering. I genuinely felt like someone had my back the entire time.

Thank you so much, I am eternally grateful!

I Would Highly Recommend Slater Heelis

This review is for a different branch.

Everybody says how stressful it can be selling your home, thankfully we had Helen Taylor and her Team Lisa James & Sonia whom made the experience worry free they were on hand to answer any queries we had in a very timely and efficient manner and kept us fully informed each step of the way.

I was hugely grateful to have found him & his team (through a recommendation) and would highly recommend the whole company.
I also used them to do my will, too.

Daniel provided us with excellent Professional and Supportive guidance during a very long, difficult and distressing legal claim.
His knowledge and expertise was key to the Judge ruling in our favour, striking out the claim and saving us considerable further high court costs.

Contentious will issue

This review is for a different branch.

Having recently required the services of a solicitor regarding my mother's will and a contentious issue with a sibling, I was recommended to contact Mr Daniel Wise. After initial contact, Mr Wise was extremely helpful and efficient explaining everything that was being done to expedite the matter.
The problem was solved very quickly and I would have no hesitation in recommending the services of Mr Daniel Wise.

Compensation claim against my employer

This review is for a different branch.

Having now completed my compensation claim and reached a successful conclusion, I can only say my experience of the service provided by Alex Barley at Slater Heelis was as near perfect as makes no difference. Professional expert advice delivered promptly and without confusing legalese. I am confident that I have received a payout at the top end of the scale for my injury due to how my case was expertly handled, from the start all the way to the very end. I suppose the best compliment I can give is to simply say if I was ever in a similar situation I wouldn't think twice about having Alex take on the case. It would be a no brainer!

This review is for a different branch.

I had spoken with four different solicitors who couldn’t help me . Slater and Heels were the only people who were straight on with the work needing to be done. They kept in touch through out and I felt confident they would get things sorted. They took a weight of my shoulders through a very difficult time , I can’t praise them enough.

I had an excellent experience with Slater Heelis. Both Daniel Stern and Daniel Wise were incredibly supportive, knowledgeable, and responsive throughout the entire process. Their clear communication and professionalism made a challenging situation feel much more manageable. I’m genuinely grateful for their help and would highly recommend Slater Heelis to anyone needing expert legal guidance.

I’m not usually one to leave reviews, but I felt compelled to share my experience with Alexandra Goldrein at Slater Heelis. After a disappointing experience with a previous family law firm, I made the decision to instruct Alexandra to take over my case — and it was absolutely the right choice.

Alexandra is an outstanding solicitor: highly competent, knowledgeable, and genuinely supportive throughout. She handled my financial settlement with precision and care, achieving exactly the outcome I had hoped for. Throughout the entire process, I felt reassured and at peace, knowing I was in safe hands.

Alexandra — I can’t thank you and your team enough for your professionalism and dedication. You made a stressful situation so much more manageable.

Had nothing but positive experiences using slater heelis. Daniel Henderson has been amazing in helping us both buy and sell our property and has replied to each of our queries very quickly. Miriam has also been fantastic in sorting out all the final things to conclude our sale and has also been great at responding to messages really quickly. Couldn’t recommend slater heelis enough and we wouldn’t go anywhere else.

I am not too experienced with domestic conveyancing. Are any of us? So when we accepted an offer for our home, it was time to find a great lawyer. And we did! Zara Banday metaphorically ‘took our hands’ and guided us from start to finish with skill, care, consideration and most importantly with our best interests in mind at all times. I know that Zara will have been dealing with many clients simultaneously but she never failed to reply to an email, return a call or respond to our buyer’s solicitor, all in a timely fashion.

She is also rather adept at offering help to her counterpart from the buyers legal team when they rely on an inexperienced solicitor who doesn’t appear to know what to do. .

I don’t often recommend because it can get you into trouble. But on this occasion I can unhesitatingly advise anyone who is reading this, to contact Zara Banday at Slater Heelis. Selling your house is likely to be the biggest transaction of your life. I urge you to get Zara on your team before your buyer nips in ahead of you!!
