Jasmine dealt with me in a very professional and courteous manner. She was respectful of my time of grief, but also very helpful in facilitating the tasks that I needed to perform. Overall, I am extremely grateful, and I would have no hesitation in recommending Slee Blackwell for any legal matters

Hayden Bain

Tagged solicitor Hayden Bain

I had the unfortunate task of dealing with the executry of my late sister who passed away suddenly. In a time when I was not in a good place and struggling to cope with the legal and emotional aspects, Hayden was a beacon of support and professionalism. From the outset, he was exceptionally patient and understanding, guiding me through every step with clarity and compassion. His thorough knowledge and attention alleviated much of the stress I was experiencing. Hayden not only managed the legalities with the utmost competence but also provided invaluable advice on what needed to be done, making a difficult time much more manageable. I cannot recommend Hayden highly enough for anyone in need of a dedicated and empathetic solicitor. His support was instrumental during a challenging period, and I am immensely grateful for his service.

Alex Parris

Tagged solicitor Alex Parris

We found the process very easy. We had a fairly simple will so did not need too much advice. We had only a handful of meetings before the actual wills were signed. No complaints whatsoever.

Sarah Begley

Tagged solicitor Sarah Begley

Sarah Begley was the solicitor who helped my husband and myself sort out our dear friends will and probate. She explained in detail what the process would be and how long it would take. Sarah was able to help us with a difficult situation and dealt with the problem quickly and efficiently. Nothing was too much bother for her and she kept us informed every step of the way. I would definitely recommend Sarah Begley and Martin Tolhurst solicitors.
