My first, and hopefully only experience of criminal law

5

I believe other reviews have said similar, but I also had a problem, and in just over a week, it was gone.

I contacted Slee Blackwell when a constable appeared at my door to inquire about an incident, blaming me. I looked for legal advice and went with the firm that was first in criminal law at Review Solicitors. It was a good decision.

I spoke to Jen's paralegal throughout the Friday, first getting my side of the case across and relevant information, sorting out payment, and Jen made room for me in her diary for a Teams meeting that Monday morning. Jen explained the process I was currently experiencing, what the outcomes might be, and we discussed the next steps we could take. I was felt included, relief to have some clarity, and that I had a sensible person on my side. She offered to save me some money by my leading communications with the police, but I chose to rely on her experience, adding feedback where appropriate. Her correspondence to police was perfectly worded.

Though I feared I was in for a length legal process, by the end of Monday I was feeling so much better and that I was in safe hands. I still didn't expect after a week for such a good result. I would happily recommend Jen and her team to anyone who feels the pressures of the law.

When I first contacted slee blackwell I spoke to Millie on reception who was super friendly and helpful with putting me in contact with the right person for my case. Once in contact with Jen, she was very professional, kind and friendly. She kept me updated throughout and helped me through my court hearing with great advice, ending in a good result. I would highly recommend Jen to anyone who needs a lawyer

A Review for Slee Solicitors Jen and Sam

5

Marvellous - From first initial contact - I found Slee Blackwell phenomenally fast, highly coordinated, most discernable, methodical, meticulous concise, regular price breakdowns and fantastic costings communicated perfectly. I must also add to that reassuringly thorough in attention to detailed specifics and instills amount of a huge amount confidence which is frankly astonishing especially considering I live hundreds of miles away. Jen and Sam are prompt in email replies and Reception Millie flawless on Reception too. Congrats and Recommends!

SOPO discharge application

This application process was carried out efficiently and to a successful conclusion by Jen Law. I was regularly updated on all steps in the process, and felt at all times that my interests in this matter were being supported as I would have hoped. The matter was concluded more swiftly than I had initially expected, and I am very satisfied in the work that has been done on my behalf.

Having found myself in a situation I never thought I would be in and needing a criminal defence lawyer, I was lucky enough to find Jen Law.
From start to finish Jen was amazing. She was very professional, friendly, knowledgeable, empathetic and funny.
She took time to go through everything with me and explain all my options and helped me through a difficult situation to the best possible outcome.
I would 100% recommend Jen, thank you for everything.

Outstanding representation

5

Jen Law represented my son recently on a charge against him .
The professionalism exercised was superb coupled with an understanding of the real facts and willingness to fact find whilst supporting my son to achieve the best possible outcome .
Jen would also often respond to e mails late at night and always promptly after contact .

We were successful beyond hoped expectations and the barrister suggested by Jen was a perfect fit .
Costs were respected and kept to a minimum required for the best outcome , this was again outstanding .
Suggestions for pivotal reports anchored a most amazing outcome .
I cannot recommend Jen highly enough .
