“Truly something out of the ordinary”
Tags:
The 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.

Vardags 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.

Simply the best : They helped me through a very challenging divorce and with their support I managed to turn what appeared to be a hopeless lost cause into an outcome that allowed me to remain emotionally and financially intact. I felt supported by a dedicated and skilled team, fighting on my side to protect my interests. Beyond the direct legal work they were extremely knowledgeable and creative in coordinating with other service providers when required, which was key in securing a fair financial result and, more importantly, maintaining my parental relationship with my young children during the divorce proceedings and beyond. Throughout the whole process they never lost sight of the best long term outcome, whilst always staying on top of procedure and providing flawless execution. I highly recommended them!

Highly recommend Mark Heptinstall - 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!!

Yasmin and Grainne were wonderful in helping me during each step of my divorce process. I could not recommend them enough. If you’re looking for a good, friendly, trustworthy and very efficient law firm, you can 100% count on them at BLM. They not only helped me with what I needed, but gave me legal advice on all aspects that I had doubts. I’m a very anxious person and they did not let me down one bit - even when the news weren’t what I expected, they were kind enough to offer suitable alternatives and to show empathy throughout everything. I’ll definitely use them in the future if I ever need a lawyer or a legal team. Thank you very much, one more time, to both Yasmin and Grainne. Your kindness and efficiency during this difficult time in my life won’t be forgotten.

I would recommend Vardags in a heartbeat - from my first point of contact, meeting Simon McKirgan and Lucy Brown, who were so understanding, patient and kind, they have continued to be empathetic throughout. Lucy Brown is an exceptional lawyer whose attention to detail is second to none. She has been my rock, and without her support I would have floundered, but she has kept me positive and strong with her professionalism, eloquence and genuine concern for my welfare. She has carried a lot of my burden and I feel she is always looking after my best interest. I have every faith in her and the team and really appreciate the long hours they have dedicated to the work on my behalf. I have no doubt that I made the right choice when choosing this law firm. The best lawyers with a human touch!

A superb family practice that is built on genuine empathy with the client. Ewa heads up a family practice that agreed to take my case as a respondent in a divorce , where for over 18 months the previous legal firm had not even moved the needle on seeking a court hearing for me despite charging me .

As a long standing client of Saika I cannot vouch for her enough. She is very knowledgeable, meticulous, honest and caring. She goes above and beyond to understand your case and guide accordingly. It is this great care and attention from Saika that has made me continue to turn to her for advice since my case started 4 years ago. I honestly could not recommend her enough! From the first time I was in contact with Saika, I knew that she was not simply out to gain from the misfortune of going through the Family Court system, but instead, she strives to help as much as she possibly can, taking a genuine interest in you as an individual and guiding you along the way. You are treated as a human being and not just another case, she genuinely cares.

They're brilliant, incredibly professional and do what needs to be done. Won my case and resulted in me getting my kids home, they then followed up a while later to see how the kids were, showing they truly cared and aren't in it just for the money like some solicitors.

Richard has been beyond helpful and I can't recommend him highly enough. He provided a thorough consultation on the same day I contacted his firm and his confident legal advice immediately calmed the anxieties I was feeling. Richard took the time to patiently and diligently answer all the questions I had, even when this went beyond our allotted time. Not only he is the most competent and professional solicitor I've dealt with, he is also a thoroughly kind and supportive person. I left feeling like he genuinely cared and wanted to help in the best way possible. Thank you again. I will continue to use your service in future.

“Grasped the situation and advised straight away”
Tags:
I recently had the pleasure of using the services of Mortlake Law & Mediation firm and was delighted to speak with Richard Buxton.
I found Richard straight to the point, and his understanding of my complicated matter impressed me.
Within the first one-hour consultation that he offers at a discounted rate, he grasped the situation and advised straight away on how to proceed.
Compared to another lawyer to whom I spoke on the same matter he did not lecture me on how he would proceed if he took my case but just told me what to do. I asked him for advice on how to respond to a court order, and he exactly told me what I needed. It is not every day that you find a lawyer who give you a straight answer right away.
Thank you very much Richard,

He has also recently handled my friend's divorce case and I know that my friend has been very impressed with him also.

Family Law Glossary
Legal terms used on this page
Advocacy
Advocacy is the act of the solicitor (or more typically, a barrister) putting their client's case to the court. This may happen if a case cannot be resolved via negotiation between the clients’ solicitors (e.g. a divorcing couple cannot come to an agreement on how their finances should be divided), and so the case may then have to go to court in order for a judge to enforce a solution.
CAFCASS
CAFCASS is an acronym for ‘Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service’. It is a public body that exists to consider the best interests of the children involved in family law cases. The officers at CAFCASS offer advice to family courts on what they think is in the best interests of the children involved as a result of their enquiries into a family setting. In some cases they are asked to produce a report for the court with recommendations that include who the children should live with, and what time they should spend with the other parent.
Child Arrangements Order
A child arrangements order is a court order that defines who is responsible for the care of a child, including who they live with and how often the child will have contact the parents. This type of order can be necessary if the parents cannot agree on how to share the care of their child/ren
Child Arrangements Order
A child arrangements order is a court order that defines who is responsible for the care of a child, including who they live with and how often the child will have contact the parents. This type of order can be necessary if the parents cannot agree on how to share the care of their child/ren
Collaborative Lawyer
A collaborative lawyer is trained to represent their client through a collaborative divorce process or family dispute. The clients on both sides sign up to to the collaborative divorce process which can involve them and their lawyers attending four-way meetings in order to negotiate and reach a formal agreement that avoids the need for any court hearings.
Prohibited Steps Order
A prohibited steps order is a court order usually applies to a parent and prevents them from conducting certain activities with their child/ren who are under 16 years old (such as preventing the parent from removing the child from school, or them taking the child abroad, or changing their surname). It also prevents the parent from exercising their parental responsibility.
Resolution
Resolution is an industry body with a membership made up primarily of family lawyers. As members, the lawyers agree to conduct their work in line with Resolution’s Code of Conduct which is based on taking a “non-confrontational approach to family law issues”. This means that the lawyer actively tries to reduce conflict between the parties and encourages families to put the best interests of any children first.
Specific Issue Order
A Specific Issue Order is a court order that sets out how a specific question or issue regarding a child should be addressed by the parents. This could be a specific issue that the parents cannot agree on, such as which school the child should attend, or if certain medical treatment should or shouldn’t be administered. If the parents cannot agree, the court can enforce an answer via a Specific Issue Order.
TOLATA (Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act)
TOLATA relates to disputes between two individuals who have lived together and now disagree on a matter relating to their cohabitation. Most commonly, this relates to disputes over who owns the property, what the split of ownership is, or who should remain in the property.
The Legal 500
The Legal 500 is a directory of solicitors and firms, broken down by geographic region and legal discipline. Solicitors are ranked in The Legal 500 based on their merit and experience, using publicly available information and information supplied by the firm. Annually, The Legal 500 issues awards to individual law firms and solicitors such as ‘Leading Individual’, ‘Recommended Lawyer’, ‘Rising Star’ and ‘Leading Firm’. It is worth noting that the ‘500’ in the name does not refer to the number of firms/solicitors that are ranked, which is actually a significantly larger number. Nonetheless, it is still a highly regarded award in the legal profession.
