Slater Heelis LPA

This review is for a different branch.

Paul Baker was friendly and approachable. Soon put us at our ease. Offering clear and practical advice, explaining everything to us to ensure we get the best from the LPA when the time comes. A straight forward process that was carried out quickly. I was kept fully aware of each stage in the process with a fast response to any questions we might have. Would recommend this company to anyone requiring help obtaining lasting power of attorney.

Finance settlement

This review is for a different branch.

I’m not usually one to leave reviews, but I felt compelled to share my experience with Alexandra Goldrein at Slater Heelis. After a disappointing experience with a previous family law firm, I made the decision to instruct Alexandra to take over my case — and it was absolutely the right choice.

Alexandra is an outstanding solicitor: highly competent, knowledgeable, and genuinely supportive throughout. She handled my financial settlement with precision and care, achieving exactly the outcome I had hoped for. Throughout the entire process, I felt reassured and at peace, knowing I was in safe hands.

Alexandra — I can’t thank you and your team enough for your professionalism and dedication. You made a stressful situation so much more manageable.

A helpful lifeline at a difficult time

This review is for a different branch.

Helen’s kindness went above and beyond, I really felt that she cared about me and wanted the best outcome possible. She was really reassuring, and anticipated my needs, giving me extra updates when she felt it would be helpful. It has been a stressful time but working through the situation with Helen made it far easier. It really made such a big difference to have someone who I could trust, and who really did have my best interests at heart.

Chloe, thank you for being with me for 4 years in Family Court. All your work has been a great success. You have managed to prove that mothers have rights too, that the voices of abused women can be heard, that fathers who do not deserve this name can remain without rights.

Ruqayyah was excellent, providing a very high level of professional service before and during the proceedings. Very good response times to queries, always took the time to explain things and available to speak on the phone when requested. I would highly recommend Ruqayyah to anyone going through family court proceedings.

Applying for probate

Fakhruddin was very efficient and kind in assisting me to apply for probate. This has been the most difficult year with losing my dad so suddenly, but Fakhruddin made the process very straightforward which was so helpful when I have never done anything like this before. Not only that, but probate was granted in only 3 weeks from start to finish. Highly recommend

Hannah Costley Was Incredible – Excellent Service from Slater Heelis

This review is for a different branch.

I cannot thank Hannah Costley and the team at Slater Heelis enough for their outstanding support, professionalism, and dedication throughout a very challenging time in my life. From the very first consultation, Hannah was reassuring, knowledgeable, and completely committed to ensuring my voice was heard and my rights were protected. She handled my case with great care and attention to detail, always keeping me informed and confident every step of the way. Her calm and strategic approach gave me peace of mind during an incredibly stressful period.

I am deeply grateful for the expertise and integrity shown by Hannah and everyone at Slater Heelis. They truly went above and beyond. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of reliable and compassionate legal representation.

Had nothing but positive experiences using slater heelis. Daniel Henderson has been amazing in helping us both buy and sell our property and has replied to each of our queries very quickly. Miriam has also been fantastic in sorting out all the final things to conclude our sale and has also been great at responding to messages really quickly. Couldn’t recommend slater heelis enough and we wouldn’t go anywhere else.

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!!
