Vardags
Throughout my time using Vardags I felt that I have always been in the best possible hands. I enjoyed an excellent level of service and received accurate and precise legal advice. The lawyers are hugely talented, sensitive and focused on getting the very best results. Their no-nonsense and direct approach is most valuable when time and costs are of the essence. I highly recommend them over and above any other law firm I have ever dealt with. Thank you Vardags.
ValerieI was delighted with the first class service I received from Vardags. I found them to be thorough, efficient and professional, as well as compassionate, committed and caring. It was an absolute privilege to be supported with respect and delicacy as well as sensitivity and intelligence through one of the most difficult periods of my life. I would be extremely happy to recommend them.
EvaI would like to say working with the staff at Vardags was a great support to me at at difficult time of my life but with their support and sensitivity I was able to get through the experience with less stress and ease. If anyone is looking for a good legal team I would recommend Vardags. They may cost a bit more but will give you a good service.
Brenda HartThe level of care and consideration shown to me by both Georgina Hamblin and Ella Welsby was truly something out of the ordinary. They were magnificent, in both practical and emotional terms, during what was a very upsetting and difficult period of my life. The advice given was always well considered and sound. In summary, do not think twice about engaging this firm, they have been nothing short of brilliant, and in my opinion you will not find better.
Nicole BarnesVardags is among the most effective, efficient, and successful group of solicitors I have encountered. They sit at the top table of skill and innovation in family law. Georgina Hamblin, Katherine Res Pritchard, Sarah Hogarth, and Rachel Cooper represented me.
Katherine Res Pritchard and Rachel Cooper have left me with equal shared parenting of my young child. I am grateful they were on my side.
They were remarkably caring and attentive to me during a difficult period.
Georgina Hamblin and Sarah Hogarth handled the financial side of my divorce. Due to my ex-wife and I reconciling for a period, I have worked with them for the past five years. When my position looked bleak, they protected me with a creative defense based upon legal precedent which I never imagined existed under English law.
Thanks to their tireless efforts, I walk away from this episode free to move on with both my career and my life in peace.
You may find good or even great lawyers, but based on my personal experience, they are the best.

Barr Ellison
Sarah Martin dealt with my my consent order for my divorce. I would definitely recommend.
Rob FreerI contacted Barr Ellison to update my will and to draw up new Lasting Powers of Attorney. The service I received from Seema Solanki was outstanding. She has a total grasp of the subject matter but is able to explain all the options clearly and concisely. I would highly recommend Barr Ellison for this and all other legal work. I have since engaged them to act for me on another matter. Early days, but again the service so far from Sarah Martin and her team has been excellent.
Christopher SkiltonAlways highly professional and very competent. Can't recommend enough.

DMFL
If you are looking for a divorce lawyer, look no further. As well as excellent advice from a solicitor with many years of experience you will also receive real care as a person who is going through the trauma of divorce and not just as a litigant. Duane really does have his clients very best interests at heart both legally and personally. He will ensure that the process of the divorce is as non adversarial as possible so that it does not exacerbate an already fraught situation.
Also, one of the great worries in any legal proceedings is the cost, lawyers are continually criticised for making the most financially out of their clients misfortunes. If you instruct Duane, you will not receive a bill that has a charge for £25.00 for a call to you when you were unavailable.
As a person who previously practised family law in London I would not hesitate to give Duane the highest recommendation.
Amanda VasishtaWould definitely recommend Duane if you decide to go down the mediation route. He is very calm and explains all the options in simple terms. He gives good advice that is fair to both parties. Divorce is never easy, Duane is very good at making sure that you stay calm and make the best decision.
Emma WalkerA friend recommneded Duane Plant of DMFL to me, and I'm so glad she did. After getting myself into a bit of a state regarding my divorce and financial settlement, I called Duane and he gave me such good and practical advice, delivered in an immensely calm and reassuring manner that I felt I had the strength to carry on with (let's face it) a pretty stressful situation. I was baffled by legal terminology and felt I had backed myself into a corner. Going forward with Duane, I now have options. What a relief!

Sylvia puts you at ease from her first sentence. Instantly knew I was choosing the right person to represent me.
Michael SmithSylvia was pragmatic and professional, and helped make a difficult situation as stress-free as possible. I would recommend her without reservation.
Vanessa LandreneauSylvia Haigh was superb, she was very responsive to emails. She wasn't pushy like other divorce solicitors and was very understanding of our individual situation, customising the service to what we needed. She was also very good at summarising at the end of emails which was very helpful.

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?
