The 2025 edition of The legal 500 includes a number of testimonials about our team. Among those testimonials are the following:
“This team have been 100% supportive with me. I have been kept updated at all times and have not been made to feel like a nuisance when I ask questions. Everything has been explained to me in nice clear language and I truly believe my opinion counts when ever I give it.”
“The individuals I work with have been clear and concise with their decisions and explanations to me. Other solicitors I called regarding my situation just talked about money and were quite negative towards me. This team in my opinion go above and beyond to make me feel that I am being given full support at all times.”
“Everything was very clear from the outset with regards to the potential outcome and likely risks associated with the case, and each action was carefully balanced against whether this was a good use of energy or whether it was a distraction from the core issues under question. The other side produced many red herrings and untruths and our solicitor was able to sweep these aside and remain focused on securing the best possible outcome for me in the tine scales we had.”
“The team we are working with seem to work efficiently together. They support each other to follow through with all required tasks in a timely manner.”
“They are professional, prompt to respond and dealt with my case efficiently and thoroughly. I felt that I had 100% trust in the advice I was given.”
“Chris Holten is professional, approachable and empathetic. I felt listened to and he showed complete understanding of my situation. He explained things clearly and always had time to listen and offer excellent advice which was always reassuring. I felt Chris was genuinely supportive and felt confident in the advice he gave to manage what has been a very stressful situation. He dealt with any situations that arose promptly and was very accommodating. I would thoroughly recommend Chris to anyone should then find them self in a similar situation.”
“Helpful and communicative from admin staff, through to assistant and solicitor himself.”
“Chris Holden was at all times polite and incredibly knowledgeable, he was helpful and to the best of his abilities aided and guided me through my case and how to achieve the optimal solution.”
“Naomi is much more efficient than our previous solicitor and specialises in the field we require advice on.”
“Naomi and her colleagues all put them selves out to assist me when I had difficulties with setting up meetings etc.”
“The team collaborate with other departments when queries cross over to provide a complete service. They are mindful of the implication of costs but equally keep me informed at every stage. In my opinion they take a calm and measured approach to the proceedings and are professional and sympathetic to the situation. They listen to my concerns and provide advice based on the best possible outcome for me.”
- “To compare with other firms, I have seen another solicitor firm that sends an automatic reply that says that they will answer in the order they received the e-mail, like it is done with the mails. Also, they don’t give the impression that they will send a free e-mail to inform or answer you. I don’t find it very professional. Also for other firm you need to explain first your problem in details to the secretary before even talking to a solicitor. Even like that, they didn’t answer as fast as Slee Blackwell.”
“I think that the whole team is very kind, talented and knowledgeable. It really gives the impression that there is a very good communication and organization inside the team. They are also patient and send exactly the right amount of e-mails.”
