I had total confidence in Alex Barley
I have been through a harrowing experience as the result of an accident when hit by a car as a pedestrian. From the moment I met Alex, I felt confident he would be a good choice as my solicitor. He's friendly and approachable, explains things in a straightforward manner and the prompt response to my emails was exceptional. Due to continuous delays in Police investigations there were many times where I felt really despondent but I had total confidence in Alexs' abilities and he didn't let me down. I can't speak highly enough of the way in which he conducted my case. I briefly dealt with another solicitor at Slater Heelis ( Hannah Costley) and she too was a very friendly and approachable individual. Thank you Slater Heelis.

Great service, prompt replies.
Alex helped me with a claim after I broke my wrist in 2022. I originally contacted another lawyer who wanted me to pay fees upfront. After this, finding Slater and Heelis was a relief. Alex was very professional and although the claim took a long time due to doctor waiting times, he was very responsive throughout and kept me updated. I’m happy with the outcome, they even rounded down the solicitor fees for me.
Thank you Alex.

A pleasure to work with
Alex was a calming and reassuring voice throughout the whole process. This is very important as, naturally, a personal inquiry case is something that brings up traumatic memories, requires engaging with various medical experts and so forth. It makes a great difference to feel your solicitor is really on your side and is giving honest and sensible advice. He was always very personable, approachable and professional, it was a pleasure to work with him.
