Personal Injury Claim

5

I instructed Ms Sylvester after a car swerved onto the pavement and knocked me down, leaving me permanently physically scarred. She and her team were amazing throughout the next couple of months, supporting me through my claim and suggesting appropriate next steps. I felt empowered when deciding how to proceed and I knew that I was Ms Sylvester's priority on this claim. Her professionality, competence and knowledge of the legal system is excellent. Thanks to her (and the nature of my injuries), we had the claim wrapped up in about three and a half months.


As a younger person, this whole thing was initially quite overwhelming for me (especially the idea of choosing a solicitor in the first place) and Ms Sylvester made it all so simple without being patronizing or pushy. I was never confused about what came next, or in the dark about anything.

I would recommend both her and her firm to anyone in the same shoes as me.

Personal Injury Broken Wrist

I was really nervous about starting a personal injury claim but from the very first phone call I had with Carly I was reassured and encouraged to proceed with the claim. Carly and her team at Slee Blackwell were very professional, helpful, knowledgeable, kept me informed, helped and put me in touch and arranged meetings and equipment with various people along the way. When I was feeling hesitant Carly was always available to give advice and point me in the right direction. I highly recommend Carly and cannot thank her enough for everything she has done for me during the year to gain a successful outcome. I really appreciate everything you have done and am very grateful for the time, patience and advice you have given me. A Huge Thank you Carly!

Personal injury claim following a car accident

It has been a pleasure working with Carly on a personal injury claim for my father. This was a particular traumatic time for all of the family and Carly's professionalism and empathy were first class. A successful outcome was achieved following Carly's diligence and negotiation skills.

Leg Injury at Work Claim

Carly was very professional and easy to work with. She perseved with my claim for 26 months and finally received a settlement from a very difficult and uncoperative defendant. I am pleased with the outcome and would strongly recommend her services.

I had my accident 3 years ago, on my way to my work as a night duty nurse. I sustained so much injuries and was taken to A&E hospital. I knew I had the legal right to claim for compensation so searched for a firm of solicitors. Slee Blackwell became my choice from my old yellow pages.

At first, I found it difficult not to have a face to face meeting with the solicitor, but I was guided very well thru letters and telephone conversations. At some stage, I became too stressed with all my doctors appointments,x-ray, MRI scan, and treatments, but I was encouraged to pursue my claim.

I am very grateful now for choosing this firm of solicitors, and thank you CARLY SYLVESTER for giving me all the attention and support. Your service is highly commendable.

Kind regards,

Antonia
