ReviewSolicitors is a legal review platform which allows the clients of law firms across the nation to rate the service provided to them. The review site publishes rankings for each sector of law. Their rankings are primarily based on client reviews but also take into consideration other factors such as the size of the firm and any notable cases the practice has dealt with.

The aim is to enable consumers to see who the best clinical negligence solicitors are, an ambition that is being actively promoted by the Legal Services Board (the independent body that oversees the regulation of lawyers in England and Wales) in its quest to improve the quality of legal services.

We are proud to say that we are top of the ReviewSolicitors rankings for clinical negligence*. Slee Blackwell Solicitors LLP (the legal firm behind this specialist website) has been ranked #1 out of 990 clinical negligence solicitor firms in the UK.

Oliver Thorne who is a member of the prestigious AvMA (Action Against Medical Accidents) practitioner panel and leads our team was delighted to learn we had achieved top spot:

“Being ranked number one out of nearly a thousand firms dealing with clinical negligence is a huge honour. It is fantastic to know that an independent review site has placed us first in its rankings of the best clinical negligence solicitors in the country. Client care is our priority and it is so humbling that our clients have given us such incredible reviews. It’s a real testament to the hard work and dedication of our client-focussed team.”

Among the reviews we have received are the following:

Oliver dealt with our case with a sensitive manner. He carefully explained each stage of the process to us and we always felt in safe hands, knowing he would do everything possible to find answers. It has been an incredibly upsetting time for our whole family and we would like to thank Oliver for all his hard work and professionalism throughout this time.” Joanne.

I cannot recommend this firm highly enough and especially Caroline who is professional approachable and thorough, she works tirelessly and is a real credit to the firm, you are not made to feel like just a number as with other firms, it’s a pleasure to have such an excellent solicitor to represent you when you have gone through so much she is so understanding and knowledgeable.” Paula.

On behalf of all of us, we would like to thank you for your guidance, professionalism, humanity and kindness you have shown us all throughout this process. You have explained everything to us in clear and concise terms throughout and we are extremely grateful. We would have no hesitation recommending you and using your services in future. Thank you.” Maria.

We approached Oliver regarding advice over the Inquest into the death of our son. He was extremely supportive and immediately launched a Clinical Negligence claim, and we were well supported at the Inquest by a Barrister – Jerome Silva, arranged by Oliver. It has since been a long drawn out process, until we finally achieved a successful result. Throughout the whole time Oliver has always made time to explain the various stages we were going through, and honestly giving an opinion as to how the other side would react. Oliver supported by a number of staff and Slee Blackwell itself, has given us 100% of the possible resources, to make sure each challenge was fully addressed. If you are in the sad position of needing Clinical Negligence support, look no further, my whole family would whole heartedly recommend Oliver Thorne. It was also well worth entering into the conditional fee agreement, we were offered by Slee Blackwell.” Mike.

What our clients say about us

We have over 1,200 reviews and an overall five-star rating on the independent legal review website, ReviewSolicitors.

Here is just a short selection of some of the reviews that our clients have left for our clinical negligence team:

Maddy Lawrence

“With the premature death of our eldest daughter, as it turned out, by clinical negligence, we were facing a very difficult journey both in proving fault and keeping heart and soul together. That we were able to, in terms of the fault element, was down to our professional legal team. They provided clear, calm and compassionate advice which got us through a horrendous inquest and subsequent legal maneuverers. They, in short, were magnificent and we are extremely grateful that we had them on our side.”

Great firm!

“I had an experience with Oliver Thorne who was nothing but helpful with settling my claim. He was very patient and professional as well as making sure I was happy and content throughout the whole process! Would highly recommend him if you’re looking for a solicitor!”

Compassionate, thorough, and outstanding legal support thus far

”Jade was incredibly friendly, taking the time to ask all the right questions and thoroughly investigate our case. Unlike previous solicitors, who dismissed us, Jade and the team at Slee Blackwell delved deeper and gave us renewed hope. We are extremely grateful for the dedication and professionalism in fighting for us. I would recommend Slee Blackwell to anyone in need of legal assistance.”

Mesh claim

“I cannot thank the team enough there understanding and empathy and the knowledge is outstanding. Caroline has been supportive every step of the way, she has informed me and kept me updated how the claim has progressed she has also had great understanding around my mental health and the physical damage I have occurred. I cannot thank the team enough. The team made this experience easier for me to deal with my emotional distress and pain.”

Thank you

“On behalf of all of us, we would like to thank you for your guidance, professionalism, humanity and kindness you have shown us all throughout this process. You have explained everything to us in clear and concise terms throughout and we are extremely grateful. We would have no hesitation recommending you and using your services in future. Thank you.”

Exceptional Service

“I have received expert advice throughout my case, the attention to detail is second to none. Their professional outlook and relatability means that I always recommend the firm. When I was unclear of any information or possible outcomes they took the time to speak with me on a personal level, confirming our conversation through email, I feel supported and understood and most of all they are empathetic, something that is often missing from large firms.”

Friendly, professional, knowledgeable.

“Oliver assisted me in the aftermath of my father’s sudden death in hospital. He helped me to draught my initial letter of complaint to the health authority, represented me and my mother at the inquest and ultimately succeeded in bringing a successful claim. I always felt I could approach Oliver with any questions and he would explain the legal processes in an understandable way. I would not hesitate to recommend him should anyone find themselves in a similar unfortunate position.”

Excellent solicitor

“I cannot recommend this firm highly enough and especially Caroline who is professional approachable and thorough, she works tirelessly and is a real credit to the firm, you are not made to feel like just a number as with other firms, it’s a pleasure to have such an excellent solicitor to represent you when you have gone through so much she is so understanding and knowledgeable.”
