Liam did a very professional job and put my wife and myself at ease on our first visit and kept us informed every step of the way and when we came in to sign our wills he went through and explained everything and made sure that we understood everything before signing them. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending Liam.

DEED OF GIFT

Having dealt with Slater Heelis for many years in relation to wills and trusts I automatically turned to the company when I needed to make several Deeds of Gift. Throughout the, sometimes complicated, matters were dealt with courteously and efficiently by Megan McMahon and that included helpful advice. I would have no hesitation in using her services again in the future if required.

Outstanding service - Paul Baker

From the very first time I spoke to Paul, when arranging to draw up my will, he showed nothing but professionalism, courtesy and respect, whilst at the same time, being very approachable, knowledgeable, easy to talk to and made me feel at ease, and that continued throughout my dealings with him. I found him to be a very affable, genuine man, who took time to explain the whole process very clearly to me. I would highly recommend Paul and indeed Slater Heelis in general.

Dispute Resolution

Excellent representation that changed the course of our dispute

I would highly recommend Lisa. She took over what had become a difficult and unnecessarily contentious commercial lease dispute after we decided to change solicitors, and the difference in approach was immediately apparent. The other side had adopted an increasingly adversarial approach which, at times, seemed more focused on mud-slinging and applying pressure than finding a sensible resolution. Lisa was excellent at cutting through the noise, keeping the focus firmly on the facts and legal issues that actually mattered, and recalibrating the balance between the parties. She was measured and pragmatic when that was required, but equally prepared to be firm when the circumstances called for it. The matter ultimately settled out of court on terms that I am confident were considerably better than we would have achieved had we continued with our previous representation.

Mike is a first class lawyer who takes time to fully understand his clients and deliver for them . He is a consummate professional explaining in full detail the options available and his recommendations as the best way forward. Due to the nature of his work my dealings with Mike have been in difficult circumstances but he has always delivered for me . If anyone finds themselves in difficult circumstances I would not hesitate to recommend they get Mike on their team
