Vardags
I was delighted with the first class service I received from Vardags. I found them to be thorough, efficient and professional, as well as compassionate, committed and caring. It was an absolute privilege to be supported with respect and delicacy as well as sensitivity and intelligence through one of the most difficult periods of my life. I would be extremely happy to recommend them.
EvaThroughout my time using Vardags I felt that I have always been in the best possible hands. I enjoyed an excellent level of service and received accurate and precise legal advice. The lawyers are hugely talented, sensitive and focused on getting the very best results. Their no-nonsense and direct approach is most valuable when time and costs are of the essence. I highly recommend them over and above any other law firm I have ever dealt with. Thank you Vardags.
ValerieThe 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.
Nicole BarnesVardags 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.
Cliff KrauseI would like to say working with the staff at Vardags was a great support to me at at difficult time of my life but with their support and sensitivity I was able to get through the experience with less stress and ease. If anyone is looking for a good legal team I would recommend Vardags. They may cost a bit more but will give you a good service.

Slater Heelis
Patricia Robinson was great! Although a very accomplished lawyer, Patricia put me completely at ease from the moment I met her. She simplified such a complex matter in such a short space of time and I was really left in awe by her expertise.
I would not hesitate to recommend her.
Kathryn SusanTricia Robinson at Slater Heelis was recommended to me for my recent divorce. The service I received was second to none - efficient, friendly and straightforward. Tricia was a huge support to me and made a very challenging few months as pain free as possible - I would thoroughly recommend.
Holly AnneTricia gave me the best advice possible with her professional and informed responses to all of my issues. Thank you Tricia for getting the best outcome for both myself and my children.
Timothy EricWow, one firm who do not get their wires crossed. They have handled my divorce, my children issues (Patricia Robinson) and my Conveyancing (Ian Donnison) and my will making (Chris Partington). Throughout the service was really personal and really professional. They didn't set about just billing me, I really felt valued as a client. If you're like me and you are not used to dealing with Solicitors and require a personal service where nothing is too much trouble and the legal advice is both clear and accurate then please use this firm.

Mortlake Law
Richard is a real find - I was searching for a local solicitor to help with writing a will for myself and my wife. He took us through every stage of the process in plain English and made sure everything was covered thoroughly.
We have every faith in Richard's abilities and wouldn't hesitate to use his services again or to recommend him to others.
He has also recently handled my friend's divorce case and I know that my friend has been very impressed with him also.
Matt DavisRichard has insight, knowledge and expertise that I have not seen matched by any other legal professional I have seen. His work has been outstanding. Having gone through multiple solicitors in a complex case, Richard was the first person I found who could actually see into the situation and has done a stellar job in helping me with my legal requirements.
Farah BokhariRichard has provided my family with legal advice for a number of years, including Wills, Divorce, Child Custody , and even Car Parking Fines. During difficult times it really helps to have a kind attentive solicitor to put your mind at rest. Richard has always gone the extra mile, not only to get the job done, but also stays in regular contact to keep you updated on progress so you do not worry unnecessarily. I highly recommend Mortlake Law.

Vardags
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!
Karen ParrettVardags helped me when I was at at my most vulnerable, they created a team around me that protected not only me but my assets too! I would like to thank the team for all they have done for me as it created the best possible outcome. Vardags worked in a punctual and tidy manner from the the start to the end of my case. I would not hesitate to recommend Vardags, thank you to Simon McKirgan, Catherine Doherty and Jonathan Ruffell.
Alice TarryI was delighted with the first class service I received from Vardags. I found them to be thorough, efficient and professional, as well as compassionate, committed and caring.

ValerieSimply 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 knowledgable 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!

Broadway Solicitors
Don't go big and commercial go to Broadway solicitors. Bhavna and the team are very professional with the bonus of being able to provide a personal touch. I initially engaged a large firm but found that I was being left and ignored so we parted company and I started with Broadway. From the very first meeting I was given the confidence that I was a valued client and that I was in capable hands. The legal jargon was broken down and delivered in a user friendly way and I received regular updates without prompting. The solicitor and barrister team were fantastic and I have no doubt that they were value for money. I absolutely recommend Broadway solicitors.
John MarkI first was referred to Broadway Solicitors in 2006 at what was a very challenging, emotional time in my life. Bhavna was professional, kind, caring and guided and supported me throughout the process. I have again gone back to Bhavna this year 2020 as I would not go anywhere else and once again Bhavna supported me . I could not have been strong enough to proceed without her. I highly recommend Bhavna Desai and her team at Broadway Solicitors.
Linda StewartThe only thing that made my divorce less traumatic was the ease at which it was over with, all thanks to Bhavna and her amazing team. I cannot express my gratitude enough for the amazing service she provided. The communication throughout was excellent; at no point did I feel misinformed or misled, making her work unparalleled to others I’ve encountered in the same field. Bhavna’s warm and reassuring approach gave me the strength to overcome one of the worst periods of my life- I bid good riddance to this chapter with the help of Broadway Solicitors!
Anika HussainBhavna and her team rescued me from a very traumatic separation with my partner. They stopped me from being evicted from the family home and they secured a very good settlement for me. They are so compassionate and explained everything very clearly to me along the way. I am forever grateful to you all. Thank You!
Helen PrinceI highly recommend Bhavna, she has been the strength I needed at a very difficult time. She is clear, direct and keeps your focus where it needs be. I am so glad to have Bhavna in my life helping me to successfully navigate the most important steps I'll ever take for me and my family. Thank you so much Bhavna, you have helped keep my feet on the ground in the middle of a serious storm!

The initial telephone call when making the appointment for a single meeting to get advice on a personal issue instilled confidence. The warm welcome on arrival, especially when one is feeling vulnerable made it a less daunting experience, resulting in a pleasurable outcome.
Topped with excellent advice received from Partner, Sarah Lambert I would not hesitate to recommend this excellent law firm. Whether it's a one off meeting to get insightful advice or a larger issue of a sensitive nature this company have it covered.
