After being the victim of a dog mauling attack i was left with considerable lacerations to the arm. Whilst considering to take the matter to a legal specialist my wife conducted research and came across Slee Blackwell. Throughout the process the team have been thorough, professional and their communication has been outstanding. Special mention to Jasmine and Isabel for their hard and thorough work. They kept me updated throughout the entire process and gave me sound recommendations amd advice. I would recommend Slee Blackwell for anyone who may go through something similar to myself.
After settling out of court they got the monies cleared in my account very quickly. All round great service.

Excellent service

I cannot praise Macauley at the Tiverton office highly enough. He has just sorted out grant of probate for me. I had a period of illness just after I had contacted Macauley, where I had to stay with my daughter and didnt have access to paperwork etc. Macauley was so patient and kind during this period. He kept me informed and was so helpful.
Once I recovered and was able to send the documents required to Macauley, he dealt with it so quickly and within a week or so it is all sorted. Thank you Macauley.

Slee Blackwell Conveyancing

Slee Blackwell were instructed for conveyancing of our house sale and subsequent purchase. Despite being at times a difficult process, it was made easy by the professionalism of the team and their communication was superb throughout with very quick responses and a very proactive attitude. Highly recommended

Dominika Windak

Dominika was always helpful, quick in responding and chasing things up and very clear in the advice she gave. I would not hesitate to use her again (although I’m not planning on another divorce!).

The best

We hired Kirsty Jones in 2023 as first time buyers from outside the UK, as recommended by friends. She was so quick and thorough and we had a great experience with her and her team, so when we sold our house in 2026, we got a few quotes from other solicitors but ultimately wanted to work with Kirsty again since we trusted her efficiency. Once again, she was always quick to respond and we knew she wasn’t wasting any time. She will always be our go-to for property buying and selling! Lauren and Sue are also prompt and make the whole process easy to understand.

Exceptional service

I cannot speak highly enough of Slee Blackwell. I instructed them to deal with a contentious probate matter and I found my solicitor, Bronte Pettifer to be extremely knowledgeable, highly professional and wonderfully practical in her thinking. Her assistant, Jenny Halsall was equally impressive - highly personable, responsive and amazingly helpful. The two of them worked together as a harmonious team and the desired outcome was soon achieved. My gratitude to you both.

I would just add that I was so impressed with the level of service I received from everyone at Slee Blackwell that I have just instructed them with regard to another matter.

About as much use as a chocolate…

About as much use as a chocolate teapot! I sent an email to Slee Blackwell Taunton inquiring about a Will mismanagement, and the Taunton office replied, asking me to forward the Will. I did so, and received a reply saying that "the executor can deal with the Will in any way he sees fit". Wrong!

Reply from Slee Blackwell

As we have explained in relation to an identical review left on an another platform, you enquired about a will dispute and mismanagement of an estate. We provided specialist guidance, free of charge.

Our guidance was not 'wrong'. We appreciate it may not have been the guidance you were hoping for, and understand that people can sometimes be frustrated with the English legal system.

We explained to you that the estate in question passes to one specific beneficiary – who is not you. Our comment in relation to the actions of the executors was made specifically on the basis that it must be conduct that is in the best interests of the beneficiary. We most certainly did not say or imply that executors are generally free to act without impunity or contrary to their fiduciary duties.

You also asked about recovering some items from the estate. We explained that this would be a 'Small Claims Court' matter as the value is likely £10k or less – and it would not therefore be economically viable for you to retain us. But we did invite you to provide additional information if you felt the jewellery was more valuable.

Extremely thorough and reliable

Although this has been a long process, Slee Blackwell have been extremely thorough ensuring all the relevant information was gathered including medical reports from experts to make sure I received the best possible outcome. They have kept me informed at every stage and payment was extremely swift once the case was concluded.

We honestly couldn't have asked for a better conveyancer than Kirsty Jones and her team. From start to finish, Kirsty was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and efficient, making what can often be a stressful process feel straightforward and well-managed.

She helped my wife and me purchase our forever home, and we always felt we were in safe hands. Communication was excellent throughout, she was quick to respond to any questions, proactive in keeping everything moving, and her expertise gave us complete confidence every step of the way.

I genuinely can't recommend Kirsty and her team highly enough. If you're buying or selling a property and want someone who is responsive, knowledgeable, and keeps things moving, she's the person to use. Thank you!

Excellent Service

I had an excellent experience with Slee Blackwell Solicitors, and I would especially like to thank my solicitor, Carly Sylvester, and the team for their outstanding support throughout my personal injury claim.

From the very beginning through to the successful settlement of my claim, Carly was professional, knowledgeable and always kept me fully informed. She explained every stage of the process clearly, answered my questions patiently, and made sure I understood my options before any important decisions were made.

I was particularly impressed by the care and attention given to my case. Carly took the time to ensure the medical evidence was complete, obtained further expert clarification where necessary, and worked hard to present my claim as accurately and fairly as possible. Throughout the process, I always felt that my best interests were being looked after.

I would also like to thank the team at Slee Blackwell for their professionalism, efficiency and support behind the scenes. Everyone I dealt with was friendly, responsive and helpful.

I am truly grateful to Carly and the entire team for helping me achieve a successful outcome. Thank you all for your professionalism, dedication and support throughout my claim.

Thank you, Emma Slade

Thank you, Emma Slade, for your assistance. Emma went above and beyond, taking the time to dig into complex (for us!) court attendance notes to give us solid, expert advice when we were feeling completely overwhelmed. This is before we have even instructed her.

She cut straight through the legal jargon, identified critical points that had been missed, and offered clarity with incredible empathy and speed. Knowing that someone with her depth of knowledge was willing to take the time to truly help a small business made a huge difference.

House sale 2026

We engaged Debbie Fernandez as our solicitor when selling our house. We had a nightmare with buyers pulling out, chain collapsing etc. It took 17 months to sell, but throughout this journey Debbie was outstanding. She chased as required, and kept us updated. All the paperwork, searches etc. were dealt with promptly. Debbie or one of her colleagues was always available to answer any queries or offer advice as required. We would definitely use Debbie and the team at Slee Blackwell again and would recommend to future clients.
