Absolutely flawless!

I owe Chloe a debt no amount of money could quite cover! That said, Chloe went above and beyond what her very worthy fees entailed.
Her commitment, dedication, patience and knowledge are outstanding.

Chloe was so empathic and understanding, guiding us through a very turbulent family law case.
She was always just a phone call, or a message away - not only ready to navigate us through the most confusing, emotional and stressful experience of our lives to date, but to understand, listen and reassure. There were many a tear and frustration filled conversation (that I’m not quite sure her role required) but honestly, I am forever grateful.

I’d recommend her services and that of Slater Heelis to anyone.
Thank you Chloe and the team for giving us our lives back. Faultless service!

Professional Service

The sale of my apartment was completed within a reasonable time. Together with my partner, we bought a house together after the sale of my apartment. Our house purchase was completed within 8 weeks with a chain of 3 people. Helen and Lisa kept us up to date with everything. Any concerns or questions we had Helen and Lisa responded quickly. They were both friendly and professional. We would recommend Slater Heelis.

Exceptional Support and Expertise – Jodi is highly recommended

I cannot recommend Jodi highly enough. She was friendly, approachable, and supportive throughout the process. Her advice was clear and practical, and she demonstrated genuine care for my situation. Jodi is professional and responsive and took the time I needed to understand what we needed to do in a very tight timeline. Her expertise and support gave me confidence during what was a very stressful time. I would recommend (and will be recommending) Jodi to anyone unfortunate enough to need legal expertise through their divorce. Thanks Jodi!

Absolutely fantastic service

My case has predominantly been dealt with by Helen Harridine, who is a consummate professional. Helen has been tenacious in fighting my case and arrived at a settlement that was 100% satisfactory for me. She is a real credit to Slater Heelis.

Divorce

I was represented by Slater Heelis in my divorce and family court proceedings, and without a shadow of a doubt would not hesitate in recommending them.

Rebecca was impeccable from day one, always sharp, understanding, knowledgeable and professional legal services all round and always consistently showed integrity and class.

I feel so fortunate to have had this level of representation by my side in court and I really don't know what I would have done without it, especially while sadly navigating the emotional impact of some upsetting circumstances surrounding my divorce.

I can now move forward knowing have my security to a happier future and having this representation has been invaluable to the rest of my life - I can't thank Rebecca & the team enough. You are all amazing!

I contacted Slater Heelis following a traffic accident, Alex Barley was my point of contact and he explained everything clearly from the very start. Alex was easy to contact and always prompt with responses. He arranged everything I needed and made the whole process easy to follow.

Amazing work


I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible work Hannah from Slater Hills did for my family. My brother was wrongfully accused and spent five months in prison before his trial. It was an unimaginably difficult and emotional time for all of us, but Hannah’s professionalism, compassion, and determination truly made all the difference.

From the beginning, Hannah was patient and understanding, taking the time to listen to our concerns and explain every step of the process. She never rushed us and made sure we felt supported and informed throughout. Her dedication to uncovering the truth and fighting for justice was evident in every interaction we had.

Hannah’s legal expertise and attention to detail ultimately led to my brother being found not guilty, and our family finally feels like we can breathe again. This outcome wouldn’t have been possible without her tireless efforts and the exceptional support of the Slater Hills team.

If you’re looking for a criminal lawyer who truly cares and will fight for you every step of the way, I cannot recommend Hannah enough. Thank you, Hannah, for helping to restore my brother’s life and bringing peace back to our family. We will forever be grateful.

Exceptionally knowledgeable

I was so relieved to have had a consultation with Kaleel. After having sought counsel from two other firms, I was finding myself in what seemed to be a complicated situation with having had a shariah divorce in the UK and taking the right steps with the UK divorce. Kaleel listened attentively, and compassionately and gave me the time and space to express myself, and then gave me advice that actually helped me to navigate this situation with more clarity. His knowledge of cultural and religious and legal matters was impressive and breaking the matter down in simple language showed me he is highly skilled and adaptable. Thank you!

I am not too experienced with domestic conveyancing. Are any of us? So when we accepted an offer for our home, it was time to find a great lawyer. And we did! Zara Banday metaphorically ‘took our hands’ and guided us from start to finish with skill, care, consideration and most importantly with our best interests in mind at all times. I know that Zara will have been dealing with many clients simultaneously but she never failed to reply to an email, return a call or respond to our buyer’s solicitor, all in a timely fashion.

She is also rather adept at offering help to her counterpart from the buyers legal team when they rely on an inexperienced solicitor who doesn’t appear to know what to do. .

I don’t often recommend because it can get you into trouble. But on this occasion I can unhesitatingly advise anyone who is reading this, to contact Zara Banday at Slater Heelis. Selling your house is likely to be the biggest transaction of your life. I urge you to get Zara on your team before your buyer nips in ahead of you!!

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.
