I recently used Slee & Blackwell of Barnstaple for the sale of my house, and I couldn't be more pleased with their service. They were incredibly helpful, efficient, and supportive throughout the entire process. Everything went smoothly with no issues whatsoever. I thoroughly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and professional solicitors. A truly first-class experience!

Lucy has been exceptional during my legal proceedings and her ever-reassuring presence provided much-needed stability and guidance for me and my family and has provided nothing but top-notch professionalism and care at every corner. Lucy always responded swiftly to queries and concerns with much transparency and confidence. She always responded quickly to emails and telephone calls every time an answer was required or something required further explanation and her proactive take on communication and “next-step” actions made what could have been a daunting process feel a lot more manageable. Myself and my family would highly recommend Lucy for anyone seeking a trusted and passionate advocate.
A representative from Slee Blackwell Solicitors LLP responded to this review on 05 June, 2025:
Thank you for your thoughtful review, Phil. We're delighted to hear how well Lucy supported you and your family throughout. Your recommendation means a great deal to us.

Emma Slade gave us outstanding support and expertise during our professional negligence claim. From the start she showed a deep understanding of the complexities involved and guided us through every step of the process with confidence and clarity. Her attention to detail and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome was truly impressive. We always felt we were in capable hands. We're very grateful for everything she's done.
If you're looking for a lawyer who is knowledgeable, compassionate and fiercely committed to their clients, I would highly recommend Emma Slade and her team.
A representative from Slee Blackwell Solicitors LLP responded to this review on 27 May, 2025:
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review, Sheila. We’re delighted to hear that Emma’s expertise and dedication made such a strong impact. Your recommendation means a lot, and we’re grateful for the trust you placed in her and the team.

I can’t thank Caroline and the team at Slee Blackwell enough. They could have easily turned me away, but they didn’t, instead they worked ferociously for five years on my case, booking appointments for me in London gathering expert opinions, having face to face and online meetings with me, keeping me up to date, and also explaining things clearly whenever I didn’t understand (which was often!). Just an incredible team. However, beyond this, I felt like they genuinely cared, which meant a lot more to me, as a legal journey inevitably brings up a lot, and they’re a very empathetic team. Thank you to Caroline and the team at Slee, it’s been one hell of a journey, and I appreciate all your effort to get me through it. I’d recommend you any day of the week.

Slee Blackwell Solicitors are an award-winning, Legal 500 recommended law firm, serving clients nationwide. 2020 was our centenary year. We have come a long way in the past one hundred plus years, but we remain committed to the principles of our founder Ernest Slee to provide the highest levels of professional service. We are proud to have been awarded Lexcel accreditation, the Law Society’s legal practice quality mark for excellence in legal practice management and legal client care. Our clients therefore have the peace of mind of knowing that their legal affairs are in safe hands and that their interests are being looked after by an established, accredited law firm that is dedicated to providing a first class service. While we provide a full range of legal services, we are known nationally for our expertise in a number of niche areas of law, including inheritance disputes, medical negligence and animal law. Our work has attracted a great deal of media attention. Medical negligence Lawyer, Oliver Thorne, has for instance been celebrated for spearheading the fight for justice of hundreds of British PIP breast implant victims in the French courts, as well as campaigning for the rights of mothers and babies who have been let down by our health services. Partner James McNally (who has been shortlisted for Claimant Lawyer of the Year at the 2021 National Personal Injury Awards) has been dubbed 'The Dog Bite Solicitor' by The Guardian newspaper.
