Outstanding Service – Highly Recommended

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!

A solicitor who cares

Right from our first conversation, I knew that Sarah was the right person to help. She has listened, been empathetic yet remained professional, is so easy to raise any concerns with, and I can't recommend her more highly. Thank you Sarah for making a hard process a lot easier.

Respectful and understanding

I reached out to Chris during one of the hardest times of my life, after losing my husband and facing a complex inheritance issue alone from abroad. He listened, and for that, I’m truly grateful.

Although he couldn’t act on my behalf in the end, I had hoped for a little more support or guidance. It was painful to be left without help so close to the deadline. Still, I thank Chris for his time and wish things had worked out differently.

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.

Drawing up of Will

Very impressed with the whole process including that the original hourly rate when given a voucher for a reduced fee Will was honoured in spite of a subsequent annual rise in the hourly rate. Grateful for caring personal input with very patient help answering my questions, explaining complex inheritance legalities related to Private Pensions & restrictions upon Executorship role of Solicitor. I felt 'seen' as an individual, was confident that my lawyer had my best interest at heart, and this reassuring personal approach smoothed the emotiveness of making a new Will. Thank you Holly.

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.

Excellent service, as soon as i instructed Slee Blackwell as my solicitors I felt I was in safe hands. It was such a relief for me at a difficult time. They sorted everything out with excellent knowledge and attention to detail. Communication was superb - reassuring yet professional, prompt and easy to understand. They gave balanced advice and I felt they acted in my interest at all times. They helped me get a satisfactory conclusion and I can now move on with my life. Thank you

Naomi Redman from the Tiverton office has just completed on my house sale. I can’t recommend her enough. Professional, attentive and friendly service from start o finish.

Having recently got divorced my experience of solicitors was strained. What a different experience from SleeBlackkwell and Naomi Redman! Charlie Jones was also fabulous, they kept me updated every step of the way.

I’m so glad I chose SleeBlackWell Tiverton to represent me during the sale process. This is the solicitors to use for conveyancing. Chris.

Description

Slee Blackwell Solicitors are an award winning, Legal 500 recommended practice 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 (awarded DASLS Solicitor of the Year 2024) has been dubbed 'The Dog Bite Solicitor' by The Guardian newspaper.
