Slater Heelis
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.

James Murray Solicitors
I couldn't recommend these guys highly enough. My solicitor was recommended to me by a friend and Sara Mullins was working with me on my case. She knows a huge amount about the whole legal process. Every time i called and left a message it was returned either that day or the next day without fail. She was also readily available on e-mail and replied to me within a 24 hour period every, single, time. I hate solicitors with a passion, I think they're bottom feeders that just take a seriously huge amount of money from hardworking people but Sara was actually a pleasure to be associated with.
The rest of the team can't go without a mention either. Every time I visited the office the receptionist was was very warm and friendly, every time I called to speak to an assistant I was put through right away and I knew my message was getting across as I was getting feedback via phone calls or e-mails.
Price wise its always going to be steep. But Sara worked with me and even said to me on one occasion that from the amount if evidence and pre-prep I had done that she wouldn't be required in court one day previous to the big battle saving me a hefty court appearance. I mentioned before that solicitors are bottom feeders but that was a huge relief and has made me re-think my feelings towards these highly educated scum bags. Sara made me realise that she isn't out for herself like alot of other solicitors and really did want to help me, and she proved it again and again.
Once again an massive thumbs up for James Murray Solicitors. I can't speak for everyone in the firm but not one of them let me down. Ask for Sara and you will mot be disappointed i promise you.
Dennis WaitesI am very happy with the service they provided and still on going I think they have been one of the best solicitor firms yet that I've used.. They make time to listen' and advise and I am very pleased with James Murray solicitors

John Goodevery happy with the service which they provided me. I lost my job which I felt was in an unfair way, after speaking to a few firms I knew I had a case and maxwell hodge successfully represented me.

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?
