SLS Solicitors Ltd Avis 

I was quoted for an eviction notice including full document review. I paid. The engagement letter was then sent to me to sign. Solicitor called me and asked me to sign there and then. I did because I am in a time-sensitive situation. When I read the actual contract, the terms were completely different to what had been agreed in principle (in writing) - I was only paying for an eviction notice without a document review and told that I need to pay more for a document review. Even the prices between the quote and the contract were different.

I would avoid - having to check every single thing yourself completely defeats the purpose of appointing a solicitor. Thankfully they have agreed to give me a full refund (I will update this review if I don't receive it).

I am extremely pleased with the service I received from SLS Solicitors and particularly Havana Moxam, Rebecca Barnes and the Enforcement Team.
My housing disrepair case was a long and difficult matter, but Havana was professional, helpful and supportive throughout the process. The case involved ongoing disrepair and court proceedings, and ultimately a very positive outcome was achieved for me.
I am extremely grateful that my case concluded successfully with an award of £24,000.
A special thank you to Havana Moxam and Rebecca Barnes for their assistance, communication and hard work on my case. I really appreciate everything they and the team did for me.
I would highly recommend SLS Solicitors to anyone dealing with a housing disrepair matter.
Thank you again, Havana, Rebecca and the SLS Enforcement Team.

STAY WELL CLEAR OF THIS SO CALLED SOLICITORS FIRM ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC THEY ONLY EMPLOY TRAINEE SOLICITORS AND THEIR COMPLAINTS TEAM CONSIST OF A TOTALLY INCOMPETENT PERSON (that’s just one person to investigate complaints) even though the complaint is regarding themselves. PATHETIC STAY CLEAR!

SLS Solicitors really helped me get what I needed due to disrepair. Rebecca was the solicitor in charge and continuously chased the landlord to come to a solution. She always kept me in the loop and rang up when needed. 10/10 service and Rebecca.

This company is SCAM, be careful!!!
I paid money for one of their packs offered, no clients letter sent to me than one of solicitors demanded more money, when I refused to pay and asked for refund as they didn't start even work, I am still calling them every day to get my refund. Please , don't trust SLS solicitors!

They have made so many mistakes, don’t answer calls and are incompetent. We are totally dependent on them and really don’t know what else to do. Mr Sheikh the CEO has not replied or sought to solve the issues.
Stay well clear of these people.

From the very beginning we was listened to and understood. A very professional lady named Rebecca Barnes dealt with everything professionally and with our best interests throughout. We would definitely recommend sls solicitors for any dispute you may need help with.

All the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. I received regular phone calls and emails for updates from the first date to the last date. They were all helpful and supportive. I am very happy with their service and hereby recommend them to anyone that needs a solicitor

Emily was very helpful with my case I thank her so much for her patience and time it’s very much appreciated 😊

Saba Hasan picked up my case and consistently demonstrated exceptional practice on my behalf. She communicates regularly and always shows a professional, yet empathetic attitude. I would recommend her to anyone else who needs her help and I am delighted with the outcome. 5* rating from me without a doubt.

The best ever solicitors good service Rachel was dealing with my housing issues and repair

I instructed SLS Solicitors in April 2024 after a phone consultation in which I was explicitly sold the promise that they would handle every aspect of my case, including the asbestos exposure of myself and a three-year-old child, the medical and psychological impact, and the human consequences of what Lewisham Council and their contractors had done to us.

That promise was false.

The asbestos exposure — the sole reason I signed their agreement — was gradually minimised, sidelined, and ultimately abandoned. After nearly two years, SLS attempted to reduce my case to a narrow “bricks and mortar” disrepair claim while ignoring the most serious and dangerous aspects entirely. I am a disabled stroke survivor. A three-year-old child was exposed to asbestos. My home was left uninhabitable for over 24 months — no usable kitchen, no shower, no proper bathroom — while contamination remained unresolved.

Yet SLS treated this as trivial. Most shocking was that SLS’s own barrister, meant to defend us, dismissed two years of trauma, disability impact, asbestos exposure, and the destruction of our home as a “minor inconvenience.” That phrase was used seriously. It was medically illiterate, legally indefensible, and profoundly dehumanising. SLS did nothing to challenge it.

My treatment by Emily, the solicitor handling my case, was equally disturbing. Whenever I raised the asbestos exposure, my disability, or the medical impact, she talked over me, shut me down, dictated when I could speak, and treated me condescendingly — like a five-year-old child. This was persistent behaviour. As a stroke survivor, I require clear and respectful communication. Emily’s conduct was rude, dismissive, and a breach of the SRA Code of Conduct regarding integrity and duty of care toward a disabled client.

She also ignored explicit instructions not to communicate with the Council until my medical assessment was complete, instead engaging in unauthorised parallel discussions, then attempting to scold me using a supposed “No Access” narrative that does not exist in the Council’s own Stage 1 or Stage 2 responses. When challenged, Emily could not produce a single date or instance of denied access — because I facilitated entry for over 50 council officers and contractors over 24 months. By parroting a fabricated defence, she abandoned her role as my advocate.

I was later forwarded an email repeating a vague allegation that I had “denied access”: no dates, no times, no names, no incidents. When I phoned Emily to address this, I was spoken over, dismissed, and treated in a degrading, condescending manner. At that point, I concluded I could no longer work with SLS and sent a clear email terminating their instruction.

Despite this, I received an email stating that “management have closed your case.” This is false. SLS did not close my case; SLS were dismissed. Recasting a dismissal as firm-initiated “case closure” is misleading and unacceptable. By refusing to handle the asbestos exposure while continuing limited disrepair matters, SLS split a single coherent case into fragments, forced me to manage asbestos exposure alone, weakened my position, and signalled to the Council that they would not confront the most serious safety issue.

After dismissing SLS and taking control myself, the contrast was immediate. Within two days, I secured Health and Safety Executive involvement, now conducting a live investigation into Lewisham Council and Mullaley for leaving a disabled adult and a child in a home contaminated with a Grade 1 carcinogen. Within weeks, I escalated the Council complaint through Stage One and Stage Two, obtained medical impact evidence, and placed my home on the verge of being declared unsafe for human habitation, with rehousing now in motion.

It is extraordinary that a disabled stroke survivor, without solicitors, achieved in days what SLS Solicitors failed to achieve in two years. At no point did anyone at SLS ask how I was coping or how the child was affected. Her existence was effectively ignored. If you are vulnerable or disabled and need a solicitor to actually protect your health and dignity — do not trust this firm. They wasted two years of my life, abandoned the most serious elements of my case, and treated me with contempt when I tried to speak.

Really helpful and successful in helping us. Got us more than what we thought was possible. From the very first message sent to the end. Emily Jordan was amazing throughout the whole process. Thank you again from the Shaw Family

Gone absolutely above and beyond, after battling a long case for over a year.

My Solicitor has been doing everything in her power to fight my case, I would always recommend SLS Solicitors, As this is the second time I've called for the assistance of SLS Solicitors. My Case has been going on since January 2025
