Excellent communication and outcome

I instructed Elizabeth after a google search of dog attack claims for children and instructed her to act on my daughters behalf a few years ago. Having worked in personal injury myself I had a realistic idea of how long the process would take before reaching a settlement, with the added delay of the claim being for a minor and having to be approved by the Courts. Elizabeth kept me up to date throughout, pushed for a higher settlement for my daughter and ultimately achieved a higher settlement for her than I had initially thought achievable - and got it!
She was friendly, professional and pro active throughout and I would highly recommend her services. Thank you so much for your commitment and for achieving the outcome that you achieved!

Elizabeth and a few of the other people I dealt with during my claim were brilliant, professional and always really helpful when it came to the issues surrounding my claim. I wasn’t clued up with much of the legal terms and wasn’t sure about a lot going into it, but everyone was always really helpful answering my many questions and reassuring me/ explaining when I wasn’t sure of the legal terms. Very happy with the service

Terrible company

Crippled for life and left with severe mental health issues after an RTA (not my fault).

They got me I miniscule payout and didn't even secure a prosecution against the driver.

Avoid at all costs!!

Terrible company!!

Solicitors can only recover compensation for injuries that are supported by medical evidence. In your case the independent medical experts could not confirm that the medical issues you complained of were the result of the accident. That is frustrating, but it does not reflect any lack of effort on our part, as every possible step was taken by us to obtain the supportive evidence your case required. Even so, we were still able to secure compensation of £27,000. Furthermore, the settlement was concluded on the recommendation of your specialist barrister, who is also independent. As civil law solicitors we have absolutely no control over decisions about criminal prosecutions of a driver. That is an issue for you raise with the investigating police force.

From the first time I meet Elizabeth I felt reassured and that she would do her absolute best to get the best possible care for me. She has been amazing and helped me get back to a positive life going forward. I can’t thank Elizabeth and her team enough, they have all been wonderful.

Elizabeth has been an absolute diamond. She pushed and pushed… and pushed for my claim! She explained everything she possibly could for me and reassured me with my every worry. I had a couple misunderstandings and she was ever so kind and understanding and explained those couple things more clearer for me. If for any reason I needed to make another claim or had someone come up to me and ask for a good solicitor I would definitely mention Elizabeth at Slee Blackwell! Again, thank you ever so much and wish you all the best in your future endeavours Elizabeth!
