Easy Will Service

Having contacted Slater Heelis, Ali got back to me and having explained everything that I wanted I was invited in to the office. There were amendments to be made, but these were done straight away.

A simple procedure which was completed to my entire satisfaction.

Excellent service

The conveyancing process from start to finish was excellent. The team's communication was prompt and clear throughout the whole process which made it very stress-free as a first-time buyer. Both Lisa and Helen are very professional and approachable in their work and were happy to answer any queries I had.

Five Star Service!!!

We instructed Andrew Scott to help us navigate family court proceedings for child contact. Andrew made us feel at ease the moment we met him. Everything was explained clearly, emails were responded to in a very timely manor, there was never a situation where we were left waiting to speak to Andrew on the phone, and he went the extra mile to ensure the process went as smoothly as possible. Andrew was very professional, but also really personable. We can’t thank you enough for all the help you gave us Andrew. Adam and Briony

Excellent Law Firm

Andrew Scott has been amazing, he listened, gave me options & calmly advised me what to do about my very stressful situation with an ex partner. He actually liaised with him on my behalf & seems to have made him see sense, which I could never do. I really can’t thank Andrew enough for his help, advice & professionalism. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a family lawyer.

Family court proceedings.


I cannot thank Ruqayyah enough for the way she handled my case. It was an extremely difficult and emotional situation involving child custody and past abuse, yet she remained the utmost professional throughout. She approached everything with genuine kindness, compassion, and care, always making sure I felt supported and informed at every step. Her expertise and empathy made an incredibly tough process more manageable, and I will be forever grateful for her help. I would highly recommend her to anyone facing challenging family matters

Highly Professional Solicitors

I recently used Slater Heelis in Sale, Greater Manchester. I found them very professional, efficient, effective and a very pleasant team to deal with. They made the service, which contained several difficult to comprehend legal terms, very easy to follow. I would not hesitate to use them again. Highly recommended.

Charlotte Beck was highly recommended to me and so glad I chose Charlotte to represent me through what is a very tough and stressful time. Charlotte was clear with all information and speedy in communication. Can’t thank Charlotte enough for her care and support through one of the toughest times in my life. Thank you!

I’m not usually one to leave reviews, but I felt compelled to share my experience with Alexandra Goldrein at Slater Heelis. After a disappointing experience with a previous family law firm, I made the decision to instruct Alexandra to take over my case — and it was absolutely the right choice.

Alexandra is an outstanding solicitor: highly competent, knowledgeable, and genuinely supportive throughout. She handled my financial settlement with precision and care, achieving exactly the outcome I had hoped for. Throughout the entire process, I felt reassured and at peace, knowing I was in safe hands.

Alexandra — I can’t thank you and your team enough for your professionalism and dedication. You made a stressful situation so much more manageable.

Had nothing but positive experiences using slater heelis. Daniel Henderson has been amazing in helping us both buy and sell our property and has replied to each of our queries very quickly. Miriam has also been fantastic in sorting out all the final things to conclude our sale and has also been great at responding to messages really quickly. Couldn’t recommend slater heelis enough and we wouldn’t go anywhere else.

I am not too experienced with domestic conveyancing. Are any of us? So when we accepted an offer for our home, it was time to find a great lawyer. And we did! Zara Banday metaphorically ‘took our hands’ and guided us from start to finish with skill, care, consideration and most importantly with our best interests in mind at all times. I know that Zara will have been dealing with many clients simultaneously but she never failed to reply to an email, return a call or respond to our buyer’s solicitor, all in a timely fashion.

She is also rather adept at offering help to her counterpart from the buyers legal team when they rely on an inexperienced solicitor who doesn’t appear to know what to do. .

I don’t often recommend because it can get you into trouble. But on this occasion I can unhesitatingly advise anyone who is reading this, to contact Zara Banday at Slater Heelis. Selling your house is likely to be the biggest transaction of your life. I urge you to get Zara on your team before your buyer nips in ahead of you!!
