Fantastic service from a fabulous team! Liam, Jasmine and Heidi made a very stressful move (caused elsewhere in the chain) as smooth as it could possibly be. They pre-empted everything, kept me inform... See more

Having searched high and low for a reputable solicitor to take on my Contentious Probate case, by sheer luck, an internet search led me to Chris Holten of Slee Blackwell Solicitors LLP. Chris was able to explain in detail what the overall process would entail; what the anticipated legal costs would be; and the likely outcome/duration of pursuing my case. His measured, personable and calm approach convinced me that I had at last found someone I trusted and whom I had faith in. After two years of due diligence, legal insight and dogged determination, Chris ~ ably assisted by his charming legal secretary Sharnie Jenkins ~ was able to secure a more than satisfactory result for my case. All parties were eventually able to agree to a financial settlement out of court through a barrister-led Mediation Process, thereby reducing both costs and time. I would personally recommend the law firm of Slee Blackwell Solicitors in future, and will certainly be availing myself of their services going forward.
Absolutely first rate
Could not fault Slee Blackwell
A positive outcome was finally negotiated and both sides were happy
In particular Naomi Ireson was very thorough and Made the journey less complicated!
Based on my experience I can conclude that Slee Blackwell Solicitors LLP is undoubtedly a Solicitors firm to be trusted.
Chris Green has acted on my behalf on two separate occasions in contentious probate related matters.
In both cases he dealt with the case from the outset providing unrivalled knowledge, expertise and continuity of client care.
In both cases the outcome was successful.
Slee Blackwell Solicitors LLP and in particular Chris Green is a name synonymous with expertise, professionalism and integrity.
It is a name I will not hesitate to recommend.
A fantastic firm who I would highly recommend. They were happy to take my case on in what was a very difficult, complex, legal matter. This was dealt with the highest professionalism and produced a successful outcome for myself which I will be eternally grateful.
A very trustworthy firm who provided immeasurable service in what was a difficult, complex and protracted legal matter. Chris Green who handled all of my case was very professional and thorough in getting the best result possible.
Slee Blackwell provided a First Class customer service from start to finish on my inheritance claim, I will be using other services they provide such as Will writing.
I used Slee Blackwell for a contentious probate issue & am very happy with the work they did. The issue was resolved quickly & at a reasonable cost. I would definitely use them again.
Extremely professional and at the same time caring and kind with my complex case. Always explained things well and worked very hard to ensure I had the best case possible. I would always use Slee Blackwell as I trust them to act wholeheartedly in my best interests.
Called for some advice re an ongoing wills dispute. Chris took the time to listen to the problem and was able to put my mind at ease with some straightforward advice, delivered in the patient, considered, manner that inspires confidence. I would not hesitate to call Slee Blackwell again.
My case was a claim under the inheritance act as an adult child. Chris Green achieved a successful outcome for me, despite the solicitors for the other party refusing to pay out. Very happy with the result.
Hi, yesterday I had an in depth discussion with Chris. Very impressed didn't feel rushed and even though it was under the free legal advice service. Doubt I could have received better service if I had paid.
I had previously spoken to 2 other companies their responses although similar felt like a prelude for them taking the case rather than giving impartial advice that Chris did.
Many thanks
It's 30 Years since we started using Slee Blackwell......... which says it all. Professional, friendly & caring. We would highly recommend them to anyone.

Naomi Ireson was a rock during my very stressful and emotional claim to my dads will, it was very complex and due to the appalling behaviour of another party involved in the will it was very drawn out, Naomi was dedicated extremely hard working and relentless in achieving a successful outcome fir me cannot recommend her highly enough

I contacted Namoi Ireson who greed to take my case of a Contentious Beneficial Interest Claim of an inheritance.
I was very impressed with her professional knowledge and her advice was focused and dedicated which gave me every confidence in her ability to bring about a successful outcome to my claim - this she duly did, with the aid of her able assistant Sharnie Jenkins. I will always be grateful to her for bringing about closure for me to an extremely stressful situation. Thannk you. I would thoroughly recommend this solicitor.

I unfortunately had to contact solicitors regarding my late mother's will, as I had not been provided for.
Naomi treated me with absolute respect and support during this harrowing experience. She has been professional, kind and patient.
The challenge has been successfully resolved. I will always be grateful and would wholeheartedly recommend Naomi.

I unfortunately had reason to contact Slee Blackwell following the death of my husband as I needed advice regarding contesting a Will. My case was referred to Chris Holten. He was very understanding of my situation and it was clear from the start that he was fully knowledgeable in this area of the law. My claim was successful thanks to his excellent work. I would have no hesitation in recommending him.

Mr David Paull, solicitor with Slee Blackwell, recently carried out a case for me with regard to the Family Law Act. Throughout this process Mr Paull was highly professional, efficient and friendly. I was put at ease by his way of simplifying and explaining the process clearly and clarifying all of the legal jargon. This resulted in a quick and successful outcome. Thank you very much.

I first contacted Chris Holten from overseas in January 2019 as the company were advertised as Probate specialists. My situation is that, it came to my attention after my Father's passing in December 2018 that the Trust Account and Will, that my Father put in place for myself and sister, had been changed to benefit my sister only. Chris was understanding about my case and has worked methodically through the information obtained to date, giving me lawful and sensible advice. Progress has been made and hopefully a successful outcome is not too far away.

I first contacted Chris after the death of my partner. Chris is and was very helpful, giving me very clear and usefull information about my case.
He always is very fast in answering my questions in a clear and professional manner. The phone calls with him were uplifting at a very difficult time. He was very understanding and also comforting in the hard times I am going through.
Chris is very engaged and acts very professional in any aspects of dealing with my case.
I recommend him and his team to everyone.
