From 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.
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.
NorashikinI 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.
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 was advised to see Sarah by another solicitor and I would thoroughly recommend Sarah Barr Young of Stowe Family Law having used her services for my divorce immediately prior to and during the COVID pandemic of 2020/21. Sarah really took all the stress out of my divorce by her holistic and caring manner, her communication with me was fantastic during this time, and she dealt with everything in a timely, efficient and reassuring way. She was always ready for any questions I had, and usually answered them before I even had to ask. I will be forever grateful for her services over this time.
SueFantastic professional service with good advice and feedback
Handled my divorce case well from a difficult position after leaving a different solicitor half way though the divorce. I was given good advice and direct feedback to help my decisions in how to proceed.
I only wish I had used them from the start.
BrianI came across Stowe Family Law purely by chance as I needed a solicitor and the situation was quite last minute, but I can honestly say that I wouldn’t put my trust in anyone else. They were able to offer me the support and guidance that I needed, and were extremely sensitive to my circumstances.
AmyStowe Family Law are a professional and friendly team who helped me at a time when I most needed it. My situation was complicated and difficult, yet they took the time and patience to get to the bottom of it and sort it all out with some great results. I couldn't have got through it without them - thank you!
AnonymousDivorce is never going to be 'fun' but Stowe made the process much easier for me, thanks to clear guidance with thoughtful, confident and experienced leadership at all times. Ultimately, we achieved a thoroughly fair result for all parties. Thank you.

An excellent service. I have been using the services of Ann Robinson at Blacks for a number of years whenever I need legal advice or services. Ann has always been very efficient and professional. During my divorce proceedings she was sensitive, caring and supportive. She guided me through the upsetting and challenging process achieving a really good outcome during my final financial settlement. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a good legal service.

I received the most professional and excellent service through divorce proceedings that was for a 2 year period. The service I received from Shelley Wales (part of Clare's team) and her team at Wakefield was exceptional and it enabled me to make informed decisions at critical times.
I am very grateful for all the advice , support and knowledge that was delivered in a timely
accurate way. I would fully recommend the team! A big THANK YOU from me.
A very professional service from start to finish, even during Lockdown. They helped to make all legal jargon very simple to understand and guided me through the process step by step.
Constant communication to make sure I was aware of any changes and to keep me informed on the progress of my situation.

Daniel has recently represented us during a family court matter. we cannot thank Daniel enough for the work he has done for us. From our first meeting with Daniel we were put at ease simply by his professionalism and expertise within family law. He is a friendly, approachable person who listens carefully so he can gain as much knowledge surrounding the case as possible. Daniel worked hard in court to get the right result, not only for us but also our little boy.
The service Daniel provides is second to none and we cannot recommend him enough.
Thank you again Daniel.
Mark BeddisDaniel has represented me in the family court over the past 10 months.
I felt he was extremely supportive throughout the case. He maintained a high level of professionalism and was easy to work with.
Daniel worked well to manage my expectations and I would definitely recommend his services.
Thank you
Aisha IsmailDaniel and his father Anthony represented me in two recent cases. Daniel dealt with my family law case which lasted over a year.
Daniel has an excellent attention to detail and adopts a pragmatic attitude. I was very pleased with his level of service and professionalism. He considers the interest of his clients to be most important, but also presents the reality of the circumstance.
Over the year, he has made excellent recommendations and I felt his collaboration with the chosen barrister (Aelred Hookway) was very successful in all aspects. Highly recommended.

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?
