Divorce proceedings
I contacted a number of firms and Slater-Heelis where the only firm to contact me directly and promptly, which I took as a good sign first off. They were patient, courteous and gave good advice from the start, explained everything well, which I needed at the time. They made the whole process flow well for me which was great as my mental health was not optimal at the time. I heartily recommend them for anyone needing to go through this, we handled everything online so no need for travelling or appearances. I will happily use them again for other matters if any should arise.

Highly recommended service and Claire was amazing.
I needed a solicitor to help deal with an ex partner and negotiate house sale. Although this was a stressful time and difficult Claire was friendly and supportive and I knew that I could call or pop in to the office to get updates and advice. I would highly recommend the whole team.

Divorce and financial matters
My divorce was due to domestic abuse. Claire was professional and efficient. Claire understood the nature of the behaviour I was subjected to and was able to give invaluable legal advice accordingly.

Highly recommend
What should have been a very straightforward divorce turned into a two year long emotional rollercoaster due to the escalating post separation abuse and my ex's narcissistic personality disorder. Claire was proactive and assertive and also extremely knowledgeable in dealing with the many unexpected obstacles and the continual lack of cooperation from the other party. She expertly guided me through this difficult time and thanks to her professionalism and expertise I am able to move on with my life now. Thank you Claire.

Amazing
I received a reply from on online enquiry within 24 hours and had an initial interview with a senior partner . Kim Aucott was so supportive, friendly and professional I felt reassured immediately. The solicitor who dealt with my issue, Claire Higham was equally supportive and I felt in excellent hands throughout. The process is very stressful and not one I am familiar with, but all my questions and anxieties were dealt with in such a kind and empathetic manner. I felt the company gave good value for money, but the main thing was the amazing way we were looked after. I was able to email or phone at any time, meetings were helpful and the whole case was dealt with sensitively, and timely - they won my case and this has been life changing for my daughter. I can’t recommend them, or thank them enough.
