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!!

First choice for legal support. Whichever support and advice I have needed over the last 10 years then Slater Heelis has provided the perfect solution.
In the most difficult circumstances of divorce, financial settlement and child access Mark Heptinstall guided me through, step by step, calmly and clearly, to reach satisfactory solutions. I even remember the judge commending him on the result he achieved in court in reaching an agreement.
For numerous conveyancing requirements the team have always been extremely efficient and thorough. Daniel Henderson is spot on every time.
Quick and easy Will preparation see Chris Partington.
Extremely glad I was introduced to the firm.

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.

I have spent a hard fought 3 years working with Talitha Brookman as my lawyer in a very complicated and international divorce. I can not speak highly enough of her and her team. They were there every step of the way for me and I really couldn’t have done it without them. Talitha was professional yet kind and caring, making one of the hardest experiences of my life as easy as possible, under the circumstances. I never thought that I would finish this process considering my lawyers friends, but I do. I would definitely give this firm a resounding 10 out of 10! Thank you.

Talitha provided a free consultation and could not have been more helpful. Her guidance was pragmatic and she managed my expectations both on costs and the process.

After 5 years of getting nowhere with my divorce and the 'help' of a provincial family lawyer, I contacted Brookman Solicitors in London. It was the best decision I made regarding my divorce. They are a very professional firm, yet never lose sight of their clients' emotions and turmoil which a divorce brings along.
Communications were always prompt and clear and their billing fully itemised, so there were never any surprises. They always thoroughly prepare for court and use the best barristers.
I can honestly say, that if it weren't for Brookman Solicitors, I would have been left destitute after my eventual divorce. I would recommend them to any one who is in need of an honest and good family lawyer.

A pleasure to deal with
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

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)
