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.

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.
A representative from Slater Heelis responded to this review on 22 August, 2025:
Thank you for your kind feedback, Jayne. We’re delighted that Daniel was able to provide efficient and clear guidance during a challenging situation, and that the matter was resolved quickly. Your recommendation means a great deal to us.

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!
A representative from Slater Heelis responded to this review on 19 August, 2025:
Thank you for your wonderful feedback, Chris — we’re so pleased Alex was able to support you and achieve such a positive outcome.

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.

Both Zoe Peeling and Claire MacKenzie helped me through a very difficult few years negotiating the estates of my parents. Both were excellent in their own areas of law, helpful, kind, knowledgeable and professional. I wouldn't have been able to deal with the complexities of the law without them. Most grateful to have instructed both Zoe and Claire in these matters.
A representative from Slater Heelis responded to this review on 13 August, 2025:
Thank you for your review. We are so pleased to hear that Zoe and Claire were able to support you through a difficult few years.

We will be sure to pass on your gratitude to both of them. Best regards, Sleter Heelis Solicitors

Andrew and the team behind him secured a residence change for my son working with local authorities and having two fact findings, after a barrage of allegations were made against me leading to numerous issues.
The effort andrew puts into his cases is exceptional! I cant thank Andrew enough for what he's achieved for me, his patience, understanding & compassion make him an amazing family solicitor
Rachel is a exceptional criminal solicitor, who had to represent me on numerous occasions at different police stations, her compassion and her ability to deal with complex matters when the police slow walk things in time sensitive matters has been amazing!
As a pair these guys are amazing!
I would only ever use these two again for any future issues
I cannot thank you both enough for the amazing work you have both done, on a extremely challenging & complex case.

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.
A representative from Slater Heelis responded to this review on 27 May, 2025:
Thank you for sharing your experience. We're thrilled Alexandra and the team could provide the support and outcome you deserved during a difficult time.

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.
A representative from Slater Heelis responded to this review on 24 April, 2025:

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!!
A representative from Slater Heelis responded to this review on 10 December, 2024:
Thank you so much for your review, Barry! It’s wonderful to hear how Zara provided such attentive and skilled guidance during your house sale. Your thoughtful recommendation highlights her dedication and professionalism, and I’m sure others will find your advice invaluable. We appreciate the recommendation!
