Tagged solicitor Kelly Fox
I have dealt with Slade Legal as an agent for many years and always enjoyed working with them on transactions but this year we used them for the sale of my late father in laws property. Kelly was superb; proactive, honest and gave advice as a human rather than a legal robot (there's plenty of those out there!). It was a very stressful time for all concerned with several failed sales with weak buyers but Kelly was excellent throughout. If I ever bought or sold I would use Slade Legal and recommend them in a heartbeat.

I was recommend Paul via another Solicitors. I must say Paul and his team have been excellent dealing with my new Will instructions. Paul was very polite and professional. I would have no hesitation in recommending him or his firm.

Tagged solicitor Michael Brierley
I honestly cannot recommend Michael highly enough. The professional and empathetic support he provided, made the most difficult time of my life, more bearable. I enlisted Michael's help when my partner died without a will. We owned a house together, and, as you would expect, our lives were inextricably linked. I did not know where I stood or what would happen, which felt very scary at a time when my world had already been turned upside down. Michael takes a holistic approach to his cases, expertly advising on the legalities but also taking account of the emotions of the situation. After our first meeting, I immediately felt more informed on the situation and also reassured that whatever was going to happen I would have Michael in my corner to help. His communication was excellent throughout and very proactive. In the end, everything was resolved amicably but the peace of mind it gave me knowing I had Michael to help was invaluable to me. I honestly don't know how I would have coped without his advice and support. Thankyou Michael
