Slee-Blackwell LLP were there to help me when I felt completely abandoned, shocked and unaware of my rights at a time when I was/am fighting the grief of losing my life partner. My case is LGBT specific and I was given free advice of my rights from a knowledgeable, non-judgemental and compassionate team. I would highly recommend.
Thank you

Chris Holten and Slee Blackwell
When I reached out to Slee Blackwell using their online contact form, I was expecting a pro forma response on what I would need to do to get legal advice and to my surprise got a direct reply from one of their solicitors, Chris Holten. He gave me guidance not only on the help he could provide but also some tips on steps I could take that might circumvent my need for legal representation. I was able to resolve the matter myself but was grateful for the fact that I had located a solicitor who I will turn to without hesitation in the future if the need arises.

Contentious claim against validity of Will
Chris Holten defended the contentious claim that my late father’s Will was invalid. This was a complex case as it involved a UK Will based on testamentary capacity revoking a German handwritten Will. Under extremely stressful circumstances, Chris handled the case with considerable expertise and advice to help ease and allay my stress. He navigated through the complexity of EU and U.K. laws to a satisfactory position leaving it untenable for the claimant to no longer pursue the case, much to my relief and appreciation.

Chris Holten is an absolute credit to your firm.
I would just like to say that from the moment Chris took my case on he immediately made feel more at ease with the decision I had decided to take in pursuing which I thought I was entitled to, even though many people said I would get nothing. Chris from the outcome was always confident, which was what I needed as at the time I was in a very bad way after losing my Fiance. Chris was and is always polite and would explain everything to me in terms that I could understand. I never at any point put the phone down thinking �I have no idea what he meant� which I am sure can happen with Solicitors not of his calibre. I thank him very much for making me feel I was his only case the whole way through. Nothing was too much trouble. Chris is an absolute credit to your firm and I would have no qualms in recommending him to others should they require his expert advice. Many thanks once again to Chris and your firm for making a very difficult situation as painless as it could possibly have been.

Very professional in any aspects of dealing with my case
I first contacted Chris after the death of my partner. Chris is and was very helpful, giving me very clear and usefull information about my case.
He always is very fast in answering my questions in a clear and professional manner. The phone calls with him were uplifting at a very difficult time. He was very understanding and also comforting in the hard times I am going through.
Chris is very engaged and acts very professional in any aspects of dealing with my case.
I recommend him and his team to everyone.

Highly recommend Slee Blackwell Solicitors LLP in cases involving inheritance disputes
I contacted Slee Blackwell with regard to a potential Inheritance claim and found Chris Holten to be very friendly, approachable and efficient. They offered sound and considered advice regarding the possibility of no-win, no-fee legal action and I would highly recommend anyone who is involved in an inheritance dispute to contact these guys in the first instance to review your case.

Wills, Trusts & Probate - Disputed Probate
Slee Blackwell -Chris Holten, Taunton Office, was superb in handling our probate dispute. He was very knowledgeable in his field and very patient in explaining the legal process in laymen’s terms to my family & I. He navigated us through the complex process of contesting probate with a difficult non engaged party. He kept us informed and remained fully engaged with my family & I through areas of mediation, pre trial & trial resulting in a positive outcome. He is someone who is honest, reliable and who looked out for our best interests throughout this journey. Being part of Slee Blackwell allowed him to pull in other key resources on an as required basis if solicitors from different legal disciplines were required to support our case. I would recommend Chris Holten / Slee Blackwell.
