Recent Feedback

Wow! I wonder whether I was dreaming! Ms Charlotte Beck truly is the best solicitor that I have ever come across in my entire life. I’m 53 years and have been in touch with too many firms and solicitors helping families and friends. I have never ever come across solicitor like Charlotte….she is very friendly, genuine, straight away put you at ease…. I cannot thank her enough for her time and information. She truly knows what she is talking about and even from her tune of voice, I could strongly sense that she actually genuinely cares. I liked that I was able to ask questions and get answered in a very short turn around. While too many solicitors before giving any piece of information or advise, first mentioning about their hourly rate, I was provided with very valuable information and advise without being asked for any money. Absolutely Wonderful service with the amazing genuine Solicitor. Thank you so much Charlotte!!!!” – collected through Review Solicitors

I would highly recommend Charlotte as a brilliant Family Law solicitor to be by your side every step of the process.
Thank you Charlotte!”  – collected through Review Solicitors

Offering, as it does, a very accomplished, professional, well-resourced, client-orientated service, Slater Heelis now has good claims to be the strongest family law firm in the North. Within its family law team, I would single out Charlotte Beck – an extraordinarily impressive, intelligent, insightful and personable family law solicitor, with a strong work ethic, who displays the most enormous commitment to her clients and their cases. She gives sounds advice, prepares sensible instructions, writes good correspondence, keeps calm and focused at the most challenging of times, is at all times sensitive to the needs of the client, and is frankly a pleasure to work with. Her work is of the highest standard and the level of service that she provides is quite simply outstanding – on a par with what I ordinarily encounter when working with the very top family law firms in the country.” – Piers Pressdee QC
