This review is for a different branch.

I had the daunting prospect of having to file for divorce, I really didn’t know what to do where to start etc, totally out of my depth but after a long year of 2024 its finally coming to an end.

I went with Slater Heelis solicitors an was introduced to Phil Joy who from the start explained the whole process, his help and knowledge on the process was really helpful and was in contact and updates regularly over the year. I would not hesitate in recommending Phil to anyone that needs help an advice for divorce matters.

Exceptional service from beginning to end.

This review is for a different branch.

Choosing a solicitor when going through a divorce is not easy. However, I would absolutely recommend Slater Heelis solicitors. I felt supported and cared for throughout. I had a tenacious team who were determined to get the best outcome for me. I am very grateful to Jodi, Amy and Corrie who were there for me from beginning to end. Thank you so much, I am most grateful.

I had total confidence in Alex Barley

This review is for a different branch.

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.

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.
