an excellent job…

Kirsty and Lauren did an excellent job handling the sale of my 50% shared ownership flat. They responded to every email and query promptly, and their communication was always clear, reassuring, and professional.

They kept the process moving efficiently and completed everything within a very reasonable timeframe. Their excellent service made what could have been a stressful experience feel completely straightforward and stress-free.

I really appreciated all of their hard work and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and professional solicitors. Thank you both!

Jasmine and Isabel were amazing

Jasmine and Isabel were amazing. Had a nasty incident with a dog attack. They kept me up to date all the time. They were patient understanding and always helpful. I got the outcome I wanted which was all down to them. I cannot thank them enough for all they did. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

Dog bite claim - excellent support

Smooth sale of Mum's property

I wanted to extend my sincere thanks to Kirsty and her team for handling the sale of my mother’s house. Their approach was consistently thorough, professional, and reassuring throughout. Every stage of the process was managed with impressive efficiency, making the entire experience smooth and completely stress‑free.

The communication was clear, timely, and proactive, and I always felt confident that everything was being taken care of with care and precision. The whole process was slick from start to finish, and I’m genuinely impressed by the level of service provided.

Thank you again for your hard work and dedication — it made a world of difference.

Don't bother contacting them

They took long time to reply, claiming they had an emergency, absolutely wasted my time, I am beyond disgusted how they have treated me on top of what I had already suffered.

Thank you for leaving your review. Occasionally in litigation law an emergency can arise which prevents a lawyer from responding to an enquiry immediately. I'm sorry that we were not able to help you on this occasion.

My Solicitor at Slee Blackwell Clarissa Ellerington

My Solicitor at Slee Blackwell is Clarissa Ellerington.
Four years ago I became a client with Clarissa due to medical negligence.
During the last four years Clarissa’s outstanding work and support with my claim has been truly amazing.
I have been supported and guided with the upmost care every step of the way.
Clarissa’s expertise and knowledge regarding my case and many other similar cases, has made a very difficult journey much easier.
Clarissa has always shown empathy, support and care for me, as well as being extremely honest throughout each stage of my claim.
Clarissa has always kept me fully updated every step of the way with my claim. This has made a huge difference for me, because making a claim is a very hard, long stressful journey and having Clarissa’s high standard of communication has been so helpful.
Any questions that I have had, however big or small, has been answered quickly and honestly.
During the past four years I have built a lovely relationship with Clarissa.
This is because she an approachable, kind caring lady.
I highly recommend Clarissa Ellerington.

First Class Legal Services

I cannot thank my Solicitor enough for such exemplary service with a high degree of professionalism. She explained the details of the Will procedures in a clear and concise manner which was easy to understand. I would rate this company as first class and will certainly use them for any future needs.

Hardworking, professional, and gets results

I can’t thank Jen enough for her help. She is incredibly hardworking and professional, but also just really easy to talk to. She kept me updated the whole time and made a stressful situation so much easier to handle. Best of all, she got my case completely dismissed! If you need a top-notch solicitor who actually cares and gets results, definitely go with Jen."

An unreserved recommendation

I had a very good impression of Caroline Webber-Brown from the first time that I spoke to her. We discussed a potential claim for Medical Negligence. She was is a combination of professional, empathic, responsive and knowledgeable. She listened carefully and quickly identified the relevant areas. Throughout the process, Caroline was easily contactable and responded quickly. She was backed up in this by her excellent team who demonstrated the same characteristics.
There was a time when I wavered in my decision to proceed. Caroline listened to my concerns, and took them seriously. She gave another perspective, but left the decision entirely to me.
She was also an excellent bridge between me and Counsel (also very helpful and professional) on the day of the hearing which made the process during the hearing significantly easier.
Throughout the process, clear written and verbal communication was provided by Caroline of costs and likely recompense. This was important, since this was my first time in such proceedings, and that aspect of the process could easily have been overwhelming.
I have absolutely no hesitation in unreservedly recommending Caroline and Slee Blackwell; it is accurate to say that they were everything that I needed them to be. Thank you Caroline.

Complex Medical Claim

The Slee Blackwell Team,
Clarissa h as shown, empathy, and kindness, with my medical claim.
I could not have asked for a more professional, expert Lawyer, with the very difficult case she was presented with in my situation. Her compassion and straight forward understanding of a very difficult claim, gave me the will to go on and to reach a successful outcome. I would highly recommend Clarissa and the expert team and the counsel they use as they have achieved exceptional results for me.

My claim was handled by Elizabeth

My claim was handled by Elizabeth. And she was amazing all throughout my case. She always kept me updated and was really helpful with explaining everything to me as to be honest I had no idea what most things were. And she handled my case with great care as it was a very sensitive subject for me and still is. I highly recommend the company and Elizabeth.

A pleasing result to an awful experience

A pleasing result to an awful experience.

Jasmine and her team were wonderful from start to finish ensuring my daughter's claim following a dog bite was handled by no -one but the best medical experts in their respective fields.

After a long 5 years we can finally put the awful experience behind us thanks to the hardwork of the Slee Blackwell team.

Jasmine and her team demonstrated…

Jasmine and her team demonstrated exceptional professionalism from the very beginning. Communication was consistently clear, timely, and reassuring throughout the entire process, which was impressively streamlined.
After a very disappointing experience with my previous solicitor, this team completely restored my confidence. Jasmine and her colleagues took a proactive approach to my case, arranging appointments with both medical and psychological professionals to support a successful outcome in my personal injury claim.
They provided genuine support every step of the way and worked tirelessly on my behalf. What stood out most was their understanding of the stress and personal impact of my situation—something I had not experienced with my previous legal advisors. In just one year, they achieved far more than my former solicitor did in over two years.
I am sincerely grateful for their dedication and support in helping me through my personal injury claim. Thanks to their work, I am now able to move forward and continue addressing the circumstances that led to my situation, with the hope of preventing it from happening to others in the future.
