Grateful beyond words

I received invaluable advice and support from Vicki McLynn and her team (Corrie) during a difficult separation and divorce over a 2 1/2 year period. Vicki guided me with friendly professionalism and expert knowledge from start to finish. I would recommend Vicki without hesitation.

"Compassionate, Dedicated, and Expert Legal Support Throughout"

I cannot thank Alex enough for her relentless dedication throughout my divorce, which took over 4.5 years to resolve. From the very start, she showed an exceptional understanding of both divorce and child arrangements, handling my complex case with expertise and compassion. Alex’s sharp legal insight and tenacity pushed the negotiations forward, ensuring the best possible outcome. What truly stood out was her unwavering support during one of the most stressful periods of my life. Always approachable and understanding, they offered not only legal guidance but also genuine care. I’m incredibly grateful and cannot recommend Alex highly enough if you find in a challenging divorce situation.

Extremely Professional and Knowledgeable

I have used Slater Heelis for a number of matters and have always been very satisfied by their expert advice and professionalism. Andrew has been extremely helpful and really helped me and my children through an extremely challenging and prolonged divorce and family law matter. Andrew has always made himself available for calls and emails and often been forced to work to extremely challenging timescales, which I thank him sincerely for. Andrews experience and expertise are unrivalled. I can honestly say that the only reason why I've slept some nights is because I know Andrew is on the case. I hope you never find yourself in the position where you need the expertise of a solicitor like Andrew, but if you do, there is no one better. Highly recommended.

Exceptional Legal Support from Ruqayyah - Highly Recommend!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Ruqayyah for legal assistance, and I cannot speak highly enough of the professionalism and dedication I experienced. From our very first meeting, she was incredibly thorough, approachable, empathetic and took the time to understand every aspect of my case in detail.

What sets Ruqayyah apart is her ability to break down complex legal jargon into terms I could easily understand, which made the entire process less daunting. She was always available to answer my questions, provided timely updates, and handled everything with precision and care. Her knowledge and experience were evident, and I always felt confident knowing that my case was in good hands.

Her empathy and genuine concern for her clients are rare qualities, and it truly felt like she went above and beyond to ensure the best possible outcome for me. I am extremely satisfied with the service I received and would highly recommend Ruqayyah to anyone seeking a solicitor who is both professional and personable.

Thank you, Kaya, for your outstanding work! I hope the very best future for you and your family.

Life changing advice

Charlotte is possibly one of the most competent people I've ever met. Prepared, efficient, to-the-point, clear, concise, able to adjust and switch context without hestiation. I'm so fortunate to have had Charlotte on my side.

An hour of Charlotte's time and expert advice was the difference between not reaching an agreement in my divorce and achieving an amicable outcome that has:
- Avoided court and extensive legal fees
- Resulted in the best possible outcome for my three young children
- Ensured both my ex-wife and I can rebuild our lives and have what we need

Charlotte's ability to cite case law and speak to similar cases that she has handled personally is nothing short of impressive.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Charlotte to anyone seeking family law or divorce legal advice.

I would like to express my gratitude to solicitor Amy Price for the professional advice and guidance she provided during my divorce case. She was incredibly efficient, compassionate, and always responded with remarkable speed. Before I met Amy, I had dealt with other solicitors from different firms who were not as helpful, and I ended up wasting quite a bit of money. That experience made me realize how fortunate I was to find Amy and how efficient she is. Now that my case has finally come to a conclusion, I especially want to thank her for the hard work and dedication she put into it.

I was helped very recently by Daniel Stern, he was brilliant and got me the result I was looking for. He is exceptionally knowledgeable but also listened to my concerns and tried to mitigate them with the advice he gave. He's very accessible and responsive to calls and emails. I would most definitely use him again and certainly recommend him. Thank you.

Extremely poor service! I received legal advice from a solicitor at this firm and paid a substantial fee. At the end, I was referred to her colleague to provide the same information I had received initially and I had to pay the same fee again. I would recommend staying away from these guys.
