I would highly recommend Mark Heptinstall at Slater Heelis.
I was offered a timely appointment at a convenient location. Mark listened to my legal concern and took time to gain a full picture of the problem. He offered a range of options to solve the problem and was clear and honest about the benefits and risks of each option.
I found him to be confident, knowledgeable and professional and I would not hesitate to contact him again if I had a legal concern in the future.
I had sent in an urgent enquiry in regards to family law matters not realising it was a weekend, and Mr Mark Heptinstall went well out of his way to attend to my query and had organised for legal advice to be organised on the next working day, which gave me great relief and put my worries at bay. He was a natural at handling my situation in assuring me and I could not be more grateful to him and his colleagues, Ms Claire Higham and Lisa Woodworth, in following up with my legal needs. They definitely have my vote of confidence.
NorashikinFrom my initial consultation with Mark Heptinstall, I instantly felt reassured and supported.
Throughout the whole process of going through the divorce, both Mark and Patricia showed me kindness, compassion and great understanding of my situation. Professional, friendly and
approachable. Always available to discuss any concerns I might have.
I think whenever we need solicitors to represent us, it is usually going to be a difficult time for us.
I have found Mark Heptinstall of Slater Heelis, calm, understanding and professional. He has looked after me and given the best advice, at this difficult time. Many thanks.
Mark Heptinstall of Slater Heelis is an exceptional lawyer. I found him to be extremely knowledgeable, approachable, down to earth and pragmatic. His advice was clear and always in my interest. Once I'd decided my course of action he was thorough, professional and quick. It felt I had a top barrister as my new best friend and I can't recommend him highly enough.
Dave ByronDear Mark,
Just a little note to thank you for your hard work in helping me through this very difficult time in my life. It was a pleasure to have you working for me.
I would have no hesitation in using your services again or recommending you to friends and acquaintances.
Please also say thank you to your collegues and receptionist who have also been very kind.
A satisfied client from A Chapman Manchester.
Nathan BurnI would highly recommend Mark Heptinstall as he is without doubt the most amazing solicitor.
I had used different legal representation during my divorce 2 years earlier which had been acrimonious. Each step was frustrated by my ex which added to the stress, duration and cost. I was never really comfortable with the advise I was receiving but stuck with it. I now know that much of this could have been avoided by the right legal representation.
On recommendation I approached Mark to complete the sale of the Former Matrimonial Home which was again being frustrated by my ex. Mark's approach to resolving this issue was remarkably different.
> Quickly gained a thorough understanding of my situation.
> Focussed and prioritised the major issues.
> Highlighted errors made by my previous solicitor and found solutions to effectively overcome them.
> Clearly communicated with the other side taking control.
> Presented my case in court effectively against counsel.
I was amazed that he won the case, and costs and then tied up the loose ends that I had written off.
Mark is so approachable, I felt like I was his only client. He is thorough, knowledgeable and takes no nonsense.
In summary EXCEPTIONAL!!
Ellen McCallumMark Heptinstall helped me throughout my divorce with his empathy and knowledge and competence.
I would have been lost without him and owe him a great deal.

I wholeheartedly recommend Nigel Clarke in his capacity as a lawyer and mediator. He recently steered me through a very difficult and complex legal situation/divorce.
From the first meeting Nigel gave me the support, understanding and guidance I needed. He always steered the appropriate course through what was a complex and acrimonious divorce, which included a children’s guardian and expert clinical psychologist.
Nigel is always aware of the financial impacts of his service and reduced this burden wherever possible. He is trustworthy and a calm tower of strength
I will be eternally grateful for his Legal services, support, kindness, understanding and the friendship he showed both me and my family throughout. I could not have achieved my outcome without him.
Thank you Nigel!
Andrew BrownA friendly supportive firm with excellent attention to detail from Nigel Clarke with a successful outcome.
Ethne CorcoranI would recommend Johnson Clarke Solicitors (now Family Resolution) to anyone, especially Nigel Clarke. The level of professional assistance I have received in terms of my case and as an individual has been second to none. In fact, I can honestly say that no matter what obstacle has arisen that his level, calm, considerate approach has consistently helped me through some extremely difficult times and has supported me with a positive outcome.
Cheryl WellsJohnson Clarke Solicitors in particular Nigel Clarke, guided and assisted me through my particularly difficult divorce and financial settlement, to a very satisfactory end result. I’d highly recommend this firm.

Nadia Beckett is one of the leading solicitors in the UK. Her handling of my divorce proceedings was exemplary. Right from the start I knew that I was in good hands and at all times I was kept completely in the picture.
I would recommend Nadia without hesitation.
Phillip StallwoodProfessional, knowledgeable and willing to listen. Nadia and her entire team were very helpful in navigating a complicated situation. Would unreservedly recommend the firm and especially Nadia.
Saliha NazirThe biggest compliment I can give to Nadia and the team at Beckett Solicitors is that I am glad they were on my my side and that I wasn't against them. They were awesome, so professional and knowledgeable, which gave me all the confidence I needed to go through a tough court case.
Nadia was always supportive and explained everything thoroughly, which was true customer service.
Simply if you need a solicitor and want every chance of winning make sure it is Nadia.
Trevor KennettI was pleased with how my first appointment with Nadia went. I approached her because I was looking for a solicitor who would have experience with a range of diverse families. I found Nadia to be respectful and down to earth. She easily clarified information and I left feeling confident in my decision making.

Where do I start. I rang many solicitors when looking for assistance regarding my messy divorce. From my initial enquiry with Parry Law I knew this was the right solicitors to use. So very friendly yet so professional and knowledgeable.
Perveez Sethna, my solicitor went above and beyond to help me. Nothing was to much trouble. When the situation required it I had immediate responses to my questions. I felt as though Perveez had my back and I knew that she was working hard to resolve my matter the best possible way and in the fastest possible time. I know that she will deal with future matters the exact same way.
I dealt mostly with 2 secretaries alongside Perveez. Sophie Payne and Bev Barton. They are absolutely amazing. So friendly, helpful and professional. Their communication is second to none. Always quick to respond and always keeping me updated. A credit to Parry Law.
I can’t thank these people enough. They seamlessly work together so well. They made what was an extremely stressful, complicated matter for me so much easier to deal with and explained everything so that I understood.
I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Parry Law and especially Perveez for any matrimonial matters you may need help with. I will definitely be using Parry Law should I require the need for a solicitor again.
Simon ConabeerPerveez and Bev guided me through a very difficult time with care and compassion. I won my case thanks to their professionalism.
I felt they were fair yet had my back. Intelligent, articulate and numerate.
I would recommend Parry law to everyone and indeed have done.
Thank you Perveez and Bev for your help, support and advice. Very professional but also felt you genuinely cared about my issues and wanted the best outcome for me. Would recommend.
Victoria StandenThank you so much to Perveez Sethna and Bev Barton for all their help in getting me through a very traumatic period in my life, to making the procedure bearable and to always letting me know that they were supporting me. They went above and beyond their remit for which I shall be forever grateful. Anyone seeking a family law solicitor I can very highly recommend this team.

Each solicitor listed by Wiselaw is independently researched and considered against strict criteria. Examples of the criteria are shown below.
The quality and content of feedback that clients have given via trusted review services such as Google and TrustPilot.
Formal accreditations that are awarded to firms based on their expertise and/or their outstanding working practices.
Industry-recognised awards for superior business practices, legal expertise or customer care.
Evidence of high quality client care, including reviews received, publishing and sharing legal knowledge, and quality of enquiry replies.
The extent to which the solicitor has been involved in cases that have helped to shape and change wider family law.
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.
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.
The solicitor is well recognised for having a specialism in a particular area of family law, such as international divorce, abduction, or custody.
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.
Does the solicitor’s surrounding team contain high calibre lawyers and secretaries who collectively can offer broader and deeper legal advice as circumstances require?
