Slater Heelis
Patricia Robinson was great! Although a very accomplished lawyer, Patricia put me completely at ease from the moment I met her. She simplified such a complex matter in such a short space of time and I was really left in awe by her expertise.
I would not hesitate to recommend her.
Kathryn SusanTricia Robinson at Slater Heelis was recommended to me for my recent divorce. The service I received was second to none - efficient, friendly and straightforward. Tricia was a huge support to me and made a very challenging few months as pain free as possible - I would thoroughly recommend.
Holly AnneTricia gave me the best advice possible with her professional and informed responses to all of my issues. Thank you Tricia for getting the best outcome for both myself and my children.
Timothy EricWow, one firm who do not get their wires crossed. They have handled my divorce, my children issues (Patricia Robinson) and my Conveyancing (Ian Donnison) and my will making (Chris Partington). Throughout the service was really personal and really professional. They didn't set about just billing me, I really felt valued as a client. If you're like me and you are not used to dealing with Solicitors and require a personal service where nothing is too much trouble and the legal advice is both clear and accurate then please use this firm.

Reeds
A fantastic service given. They have been very professional and supportive throughout my proceeding. A wealth of knowledge which was assuring when dealing with my case. I would recommend them without hesitation.
Khurshid KhushiMy daughter used Reeds family law and the solicitor she was provided was exceptional in taking her time to explain to all our family the legal terms behind the mess we had found ourselves thrown into. The firm were brilliant in providing information and support to all the family, not just my daughter and I would advise friends to use them if ever they were in a situation to need a legal advice and representation.

Royds Withy King
Having never entered this legal world before it was very daunting from the start but I soon found our choice of representatives was the best there were. From the very start we were treated with respect and compassion.
To this day I can't believe that questions were being answered at any time of night or day.
My legal team showed professionalism from start to finish and I can't thank them enough.
John CareyExtremely professional and pragmatic, relevant and confidential. The expert advice and support was top drawer. Highly recommend.

Philip is the best in his field.
He is able to give clients a clear honest perspective. He commands respect when dealing with other professionals.
In my case Philip saw clearly at an early what was the best solution and fair for all parties. He ensured that it concluded on that basis as efficiently as practical.
Edward Matthew ScottCouldn’t have asked for a better solicitor. Very responsive and dealt with my case brilliantly. Phil was very kind and genuinely wanted to help which made be feel at ease.
Lauren ElizabethThank you to Joanne Taylor and Philip Rhodes on the family law team who assisted me greatly with a long and difficult divorce.
Divorce is not an easy thing to deal with and certainly not a cheap option. What I would say is the advice and efficiency from Slater Heelis certainly kept me sane and believing a reasonable outcome could be achieved, which thankfully it was.
All in all certainly recommended.
RobVery thorough, professional, and friendly service.

The Best Family Solicitors, Independently Listed
Each solicitor listed by Wiselaw is independently researched and considered against strict criteria. Examples of the criteria are shown below.
Trusted Reviews
The quality and content of feedback that clients have given via trusted review services such as Google and TrustPilot.
Recognised Accreditations
Formal accreditations that are awarded to firms based on their expertise and/or their outstanding working practices.
Award Winning
Industry-recognised awards for superior business practices, legal expertise or customer care.
Client Focused
Evidence of high quality client care, including reviews received, publishing and sharing legal knowledge, and quality of enquiry replies.
Reported Cases
The extent to which the solicitor has been involved in cases that have helped to shape and change wider family law.
Price Band
Is the solicitor one of the best within their price band? A lower-priced or mid-priced solicitor will be included if they are the best compared to other solicitors in the same price band.
Proven History
Does the solicitor have a proven track record, earned over years, of being an extremely shrewd legal practitioner? They aren’t in any way new or unproven.
Legal Specialism
The solicitor is well recognised for having a specialism in a particular area of family law, such as international divorce, abduction, or custody.
Rising Star
Is the solicitor part of an established firm and they have quickly gained a reputation for being expert in their field? A highly skilled rising star who doesn’t yet command the highest fees, so making them very good value.
Depth of Team
Does the solicitor’s surrounding team contain high calibre lawyers and secretaries who collectively can offer broader and deeper legal advice as circumstances require?
