Compiling my will with the National Free Wills Network, I was very impressed with the quality of service and assistance given to me by Slee Blackwell Solicitors and would not hesitate to use them again in the future, should the need arise.

Vanessa Swales is calm, experienced, gentle and clear in her approach. we felt fully supported and well informed throughout the process and were always able to get hold of her easily with any questions we have had. She reassured us and went at our pace and I remain comfortable that I can go back to her at any point in the future should I have any questions

I have used the services of Slee Blackwell on a few occasions- for Power of Attorney, in the selling of a house and the writing of two wills.
Vanessa Swales was extremely helpful, explained things clearly and with a personal touch.
The fees were reasonable.
I can highly recommend this firm of solicitors.
