Mark gave wise counsel during a 3 year divorce process which never became acrimonious due in large part to his patience and humour . I recommend Mark and his colleagues highly

Efficient, highly competent, communicative

FTBs. Helen was excellent, very proactive and on it, we never had to chase once. It always felt like she was advancing our best interests and was happy to explain or make recommendations (needed because we were doing this for the first time). Smooth transferral to Lisa who again handled everything efficiently. Excellent communication from both Helen and Lisa, speedy replies. Something we really appreciated was how nothing was urgent or last minute because Helen and Lisa always gave us a heads up well in advance so we could sort out whatever we needed to sort out/answer/arrange in plenty of time. Will definitely be using Slater Heelis (and hopefully Helen and Lisa) again, it made all the difference. Removed so much unnecessary stress because we could trust and rely on them.

Thank-you to Mark and his team!

Mark and Andrew provided invaluable guidance during a complex and drawn-out divorce. They were very pragmatic and patiently and clearly explained the legal steps required, and their help was invaluable in drawing up the final financial settlement that was agreeable to both parties. I am very grateful for their advice and help over a period of 2 years.

A Great Solicitor to have in your corner

I cant say I would ever wish to go through the process of getting divorced again, however if I had to, I would not think twice about calling Amy.
Amy's Super Powers are:
Turning my emotionally charged instruction into clear, firm, strategic action
Always calm, composed and clear on the goal, regardless of what came in from the other side

Outstanding Service

My experience of Slater Heelis dealing wit the financial settlement aspect of my divorce has been outstanding. Slate Heelis were incredibly responsive to any query that I raised and dealt promptly with any correspondence received from my ex-wife's representatives.Their knowledge in the area meant that all matters without merit raiswdby my ex-wife were dealt with quickly and a financial settlement was agreed as soon as possible, avoiding expensive Court proceedings. Slater Heelis kept an eye on the costs that were being incurred and always looked at the strategy we adopted from a commercial perspective. In summary,I was incredibly impressed with the service that Slater Heelis provided and would definitrely reccommend them to anyone who required matrimonial advice.

Exceptional

I cannot speak highly enough of the exceptional dedication, commitment and expertise that Claire brought to my case as she fought tirelessly to prevent the relocation of my two boys. From our very first consultation, Claire demonstrated an acute understanding of the delicate balance between the legal framework and the very human concerns and upset that I was experiencing. Even though the relocation is going in favour of my ex wife, Claire’s unwavering commitment and professionalism throughout the process were nothing short of extraordinary.

Claire immersed herself in every aspect of my situation. She took the time to truly listen to my fears about the uprooting of my sons from their school, friends, and support networks. Her empathy immediately put me at ease. She asked thoughtful questions about the boys’ routines, their relationships with both parents, and the practical challenges of maintaining stability and contact if the relocation was to happen.

What sets Claire apart is not just her legal acumen, but her genuine care for her clients. Between hearings and communications with my ex-wife's legal team, she checked in regularly by phone and email, to update me on developments and to offer perspective on next steps. Whenever I felt discouraged, her optimism and thoughtful reassurance reminded me that I was not alone in this life changing event.

In the end, while the decision did not align with our hopes, I remain profoundly grateful to Claire. She provided me with clarity, confidence, and the absolute assurance that every possible avenue had been explored on behalf of my boys. And even if we delayed the inevitable, it bought me an additional 18 months of precious time and memories with my boys, which I see as a gift provided for by Claire, of which I will be forever indebted.

I wholeheartedly and without a single second of doubt would recommend Claire, her blend of strategic insight, compassionate support, and unshakeable professionalism makes her an outstanding solicitor and person of support in even the most difficult of circumstances.

I had the pleasure of having Rebecca as my solicitor, and I couldn't be more grateful for her support and professionalism throughout my case. She was fantastic and incredibly efficient, always prompt in responding to my many queries and providing clear, reassuring advice. Her communication gave me real peace of mind, knowing I was in capable hands. Rebecca handled everything with care, attention to detail, and a strong sense of commitment. Thanks to her, my case was resolved smoothly and effectively. I highly recommend Rebecca to anyone in need of a dedicated and reliable legal professional.

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!!
