- 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.
Margaret
- 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.
Andrew
- I was involved in a difficult and contentious case and found Ms Hoyland to be supportive and helpful in drawing proceedings to a pleasing conclusion.
Lesley
- I liked that we were using a local company where you could have a face to face meeting if/when necessary. Our solicitor kept us informed throughout the process, was generally quick with replying and was patient with explanations when we needed. We had a few ‘queries’ but these were soon rectified. Anya (our solicitor) was professional but also approachable and did her utmost to keep to our brief. She has made a stressful situation easier as well as achieving an outcome we would not have been able to rectify without her help. I would certainly use Slee Blackwell (Anya Hoyland) again.
