Anna MacKay

Tagged solicitor Anna MacKay

Anna defended me to a not guilty for a section 3 and BoP that I was falsely accused of. She was professional and understanding whilst being completely honest and realistic in what possible outcomes may come. She understood the difficulties and stress that my family and I were going through and what was coming. She mitigated these excellently. I will be forever grateful to her for what she done. An absolute life saver and a consummate professional. Thanks you.

Gabriella BasiukHannah Costley

Tagged solicitors Gabriella Basiuk and Hannah Costley

I was recommended to Slater Heelis while i was navigating my way through children's court as while going through the what can only be described as a low point in life when you are having to fight vexatious litigation to be able to see your children, i then had multiple false allegations made about me by the respondent, only 6 months later after the court ordered a 50/50 lives with order i found myself back in court to protect my children from the accuser. Gabriella Basiuk and her team who specialise in children's matters were outstanding, i was constantly updated and advised of what to do but most importantly, what not to do. i can highly recommend Gabriella. Following on from this matter i was introduced to Hannah Costley to assist me with the false allegations that had been made about me, i was in shock and after the passing of my father only weeks before i decided that i needed to fully commit to resolving things. From my first meeting with Hannah she calmed me so that i was able to think and communicate what i had not been able to do previously, in such a short amount of time Hannah had fully reviewed my case, memorised all of the key details and was able to offer clear non judgemental advice about what i should expect and the process that i was going to go through. Hannah cuts to the chase while being 100% client focused and providing the best service i have ever received. I was given a few options for a Barrister from Hannah, ranging from recently called to the silk right through to exceptionally experienced, all great Barristers. The result of Hannah's client dedication, her exceptional knowledge of her profession and commitment resulted in this matter being reviewed by the CPS and thrown out. I cannot express how grateful i am to Hannah and putting to an end to this nightmare which has spanned nearly 3 years of my life. Hannah can only be described as an amazing solicitor and a wonderful human being. Lastly i would like to thank all of the people who have worked with Hannah and Gabriella, the full team is amazing and i cannot recommend Slater Heelis enough if you find yourself in any situation.

Loretta Woollams

Tagged solicitor Loretta Woollams

Where do I start. I was charged and remanded for the alleged offence of kidnap. My life was put on hold and I was placed in forest bank HMP. I was innocent. Wrongly accused and truly distraught. Being placed in an environment where I was scared & angry. Loretta helped me remain positive throughout my experience to the point. She stood her ground and when needed kept me in line. Which I truly respect. I am grateful for all she did for my family and myself and ultimately appreciate all the hard work she & my barrister put in. Forcing the prosecution to drop the case. As there was no evidence. So all I can truly say is. THANK YOU

Jen Law

Tagged solicitor Jen Law

I believe other reviews have said similar, but I also had a problem, and in just over a week, it was gone. I contacted Slee Blackwell when a constable appeared at my door to inquire about an incident, blaming me. I looked for legal advice and went with the firm that was first in criminal law at Review Solicitors. It was a good decision. I spoke to Jen's paralegal throughout the Friday, first getting my side of the case across and relevant information, sorting out payment, and Jen made room for me in her diary for a Teams meeting that Monday morning. Jen explained the process I was currently experiencing, what the outcomes might be, and we discussed the next steps we could take. I was felt included, relief to have some clarity, and that I had a sensible person on my side. She offered to save me some money by my leading communications with the police, but I chose to rely on her experience, adding feedback where appropriate. Her correspondence to police was perfectly worded. Though I feared I was in for a length legal process, by the end of Monday I was feeling so much better and that I was in safe hands. I still didn't expect after a week for such a good result. I would happily recommend Jen and her team to anyone who feels the pressures of the law.

Jacqui Callan

Tagged solicitor Jacqui Callan

Dealing with an allegation was a very difficult for me, I didn’t know what to do or how to manage a tough situation. I shopped around and spoke to various law firms and I had an overriding feeling that many of them viewed my predicament as an opportunity for them to make money. I found Richard Nelson and from the first moment I spoke to Jacqui Callan I knew they were the right law firm. Jacqui was brilliant, she explained everything to me and never focused on fee’s instead trying to understand my case and making me feel at ease. Jacqui and her team have been amazing throughout my case which dragged on for three years, they are polite, very professional and prompt in all communications, they are patient and extremely helpful. My barrister Phil Gibbs was so brilliant he left nothing to chance and was instrumental in me having a successful outcome. I am forever grateful to jacqui, Phil and Richard Nelson, great lawyers and amazing, caring people. They helped me and my family get through a very traumatic episode. THANK YOU MUCH !!

Levent Kemal

Tagged solicitor Levent Kemal

I instructed Gepp and specifically Lev to help support with criminal allegations made against me. I found Gepp to be professional, compassionate and empathetic at all times - from the initial enquiry and throughout. Lev made me feel comfortable, gave clear and concise advice and was proactive in managing the case with the officer. Communication was super timely and I was kept informed at all times. We thankfully had a successful resolution and i'd not hesitate recommending Lev - his calm and empathetic approach was very much appreciated whilst navigating a very difficult time.

Georgina has been excellent in the support and help that she has given us. It has been a long and complicated process for us and she has be there all the way through. From the initial representation, she was professional, supportive, friendly, approachable, kind and compassionate. Always going the extra mile. She has chased things up many times on our behalf, under very difficult situations. She has kept us fully informed and always done what she said she would. I would have no hesitation in highly recommending her.
