Highly recommended!

In 2023 I found myself in an unexpected situation of having to deal with the estate of a relative who had passed away intestate.l didn't know where to start! Living in Shrewsbury I needed a solicitor in Barnstaple and triggered by a vague childhood memory I contacted Slee Blackwell. My case was assigned to Holly Hampton (now Gilbert) to whom I cannot give high enough praise. She has dealt with everything professionally, competently and swiftly and the estate has been settled. Also worthy of top marks are Kay and Rosie. Thank you all and please will you relocate to Shrewsbury?!

Fantastic solicitors

5

I am so pleased that I chose Slee Blackwell Solicitors, firstly Holly Gilbert nee Hampton for dealing with the probate so efficiently. I was kept updated throughout the process and cannot thank Holly enough for her hard work. I would also highly recommend Anya Hoyland who I appointed to deal with a contentious probate claim. Anya was extremely efficient, explained all different options and gave me such good advice. Thanks to Anya the claim was dealt with without any delays and I was absolutely delighted with the outcome.

Execution of my mum's estate

From first to last Holly has been an outstanding solicitor, during what was quite a painful time for me and my siblings. She has been patient, timely, explaining everything clearly. Faultless, in a word!

During a difficult time, we found Holly Hampton at Slee Blackwell Solicitors to be understanding, professional and patient when guiding us through probate and bereavement.
Holly kept us updated at all stages of the process with any fees clearly stated.
She responded to our queries and questions quickly and clearly.
I would highly recommend Slee Blackwell and especially Holly for her professional and supportive service.

Excellent for creating a Will

5

It was a really professional, friendly and quick service. I was able to attend the local office for an initial appointment to discuss the details of the Will with the solicitor. Following that, email correspondence was excellent, and then finally signing the Will at the office with two of the other members of staff. A one-off fee that was agreed in advance and much better value than my previous solicitors, plus more efficient with better communication. Would use again in the future.
