Thank you
“A big thank you to Naomi Ireson and her team (Sharnie Jenkins) for helping me at a most difficult time in my life.
After the death of my husband and having a caveat slapped on his estate, they helped me to get probate through, and were always ready to give help and advice when needed. I would recommend anyone to use Naomi and her team.”
Sandra.
Hayley Bundey review
“As a lawyer from another jurisdiction acting as an executor, trying to play a neutral role, after being dragged into contentious probate litigation, I was so relieved at Hayley’s involvement. She identified a very technical improper service defence, which most would have missed. Professional; proactive; attentive to detail; and empathetic during an extremely stressful period when I was being personally threatened with costs. I didn’t need to instruct counsel. And the conclusion was highly satisfactory.”
Lewis.
Resolved what seemed to be an impossible situation! Thank you!
“I live in the United States when I learned that my mother had passed. The estate was in a really bad mess and things became very hostile and contentious with my only sibling. I consider myself very lucky that Slee Blackwell agreed to take my case. Considering that I reside across the pond communication was smooth and swift. It was a long road to travel but I could not have completed this chapter without the help from Anya and Slee Blackwell Solicitors LLP. I highly recommend this firm and Anya Hoyland should you ever need a lawyer to deal with a contentious inheritance.”
M Thompson.
Challenge to the Validity of a Will
“A first-class response to my initial enquiry and the subsequent advice was extremely helpful in understanding the complexities involved in the dispute. You provided a cost-effective solution to the situation at hand during a period of great stress and upset, unlike another law firm, which requested five times the cost upfront without showing any understanding and compassion.”
A. Ellis.
Success with Slee Blackwell
“Chris Holten and his legal secretary Sharnie provided outstanding service and support to me concerning a disputed estate. All the more remarkable considering I live in Australia, and we have never actually met. They provided me with accurate and timely information and in the end achieved a successful outcome. I highly recommend these two and Slee Blackwell Solicitors.”
Garry.
Contentious Probate
“I had the privilege of working with Naomi Ireson during a deeply emotional and complex contentious probate case, and I can’t praise her enough. Naomi was a force of nature — smart, compassionate, and utterly brilliant at what she does. Her guidance, expertise, and sheer determination carried me through one of the most challenging periods of my life.
From the very beginning, Naomi and her team made me feel completely looked after. They navigated sensitive family dynamics with grace and professionalism, always keeping me informed and reassured.
Thanks to her meticulous approach and unwavering dedication, we reached a settlement that brought closure and peace. I genuinely don’t know how I would’ve managed without her. I’ll be singing her praises to anyone who’ll listen!
If you’re facing a contentious probate dispute, I wholeheartedly recommend Naomi Ireson and the team at Slee Blackwell Solicitors. They are, quite simply, the best.”
Amanda.
Exceptional Service from Chris Holten and Team
“I am deeply grateful to Slee Blackwell Solicitors for the outstanding service I received. Chris Holten, together with Kristi and Sharnie, supported me through a highly challenging dispute concerning my late mother’s estate with remarkable professionalism, expertise, and care. From the very beginning, Chris’s calm and reassuring manner gave me confidence, while his clear and practical advice ensured I always knew the best way forward.
Kristi and Sharnie were equally exceptional. Their efficiency, responsiveness, and approachable nature meant I felt consistently supported and thoroughly informed throughout the process. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and their attention to detail made a challenging experience far more manageable.
Thanks to the dedication of Chris and his team, I was able to navigate a stressful and complex situation with confidence and peace of mind. Their commitment surpassed my expectations, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Slee Blackwell Solicitors offer not only excellent legal expertise but also genuine care for their clients.”
