Chris HoltenSharnie Jenkins

Tagged solicitors Chris Holten and Sharnie Jenkins

I turned to Slee Blackwell after the solicitors I was originally using proved incompetent, leaving me with just one week before a court hearing. Chris Holten, his legal secretary Sharnie, and the barrister they instructed were absolutely amazing. They acted quickly, organised everything efficiently, and managed to secure a postponement on the hearing. The team then guided me through mediation and negotiated extremely well on my behalf. I cannot thank Chris, Sharnie, the barrister, and the firm enough for their professionalism, support, and expertise throughout a very stressful time. If you are dealing with an inheritance claim, I highly recommend Slee Blackwell. Be very careful who you choose—many solicitors have little or no experience in this area, as I unfortunately found out the hard way. With Slee Blackwell, you will be in expert hands.

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.

Michael Brierley

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

I assume people seeking help with contentious probate are new to the unpleasant experience. I feel fortunate that my solicitor, Nigel guided me to a resolution efficiently and with patience and good humour.
