Fantastic solicitors

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.

My family received a first class service from Anya with a recent case.
The speed of replies and detailed responses were notable, and the explanations throughout were very thorough.
Our case finished swiftly and with a better outcome than we had imagined. I would not hesitate to recommend.

My case was handled with great compassion and understanding against the very heavy handed heartless and insensitive approach of Porter Dodson

Tricky Family Situation

5

Our case was handled in an efficient and pragmatic way to arrive at a solution acceptable to all parties. The case involved a potential serious breach of trust on behalf of a person holding power of attorney. Mediation saved the necessity of pursing a criminal investigation which,while stood a considerable chance of success,would not gained the considerable compensation achieved by our decided path.
Accepted assistance of my son,as a third party, gathering valuable evidence to support our case.

I liked that we were using a local company where you could have a face to face meeting if/when necessary. Our solicitor kept us informed throughout the process, was generally quick with replying and was patient with explanations when we needed. We had a few ‘queries’ but these were soon rectified. Anya (our solicitor) was professional but also approachable and did her utmost to keep to our brief. She has made a stressful situation easier as well as achieving an outcome we would not have been able to rectify without her help. I would certainly use Slee Blackwell (Anya Hoyland) again.
