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.

Throughout 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.

Lois Rogers is an exceptional divorce lawyer who very successfully concluded my divorce with exceptional expertise, advice and professionalism, but at the same time with patience and sympathetic understanding at the most difficult time.
“Vardags were outstanding throughout my divorce”
Vardags were outstanding throughout my divorce.
I couldn’t have asked for a better legal team than Lois Rogers & Rebecca Pierce. Lois has an incredibly sharp analytical mind & Rebecca’s attention to detail is second to none.
They were incredibly supportive from the very first meeting & when my mother passed away a month into the proceedings they were so kind & understanding.
I feel they got the best outcome possible for me whilst supporting me through a challenging & difficult time in my life. I have no hesitation in recommending them & Vardags as a whole.

I would like to acknowledge my thanks to Patricia Robinson for her help in obtaining my daughter's divorce. In addition to being extremely knowledgeable, Patricia is most kind and understanding in what was a very difficult time for my daughter.

Excellent advice given and in a way that was easy to understand.

Wow, 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).

Grainne Fahy literally saved the life of this mother and her two children. From the moment I reached out to her she was the epitome of excellence in every way. She took me by the hand and led me through treacherous waters with expert skill and compassion. She along with her colleague Yasmin Khan-Gunns are a joy to deal with. They are on the ball, swift, conscientious and efficient. They are a fantastic team and simply the best to get things done. Along with M.

Very good and knowledgeable solicitors, my divorce was complex and with many issues about assets and behaviour of the other people involved. Ewa managed to get this through nicely and finally I am a free woman. I genuinely can say that this firm cares for you no matter what, its rare in today's world. Well done and thank you. J R.
I worked with Ewa Fisher (and Figen) on a family matter. It took far longer to resolve than we expected due to the other parties involved. But I was kept well informed and reassured throughout. Would absolutely recommend this practice to anyone.
Help with matters related to mychild. I highly recommend FisherWright and Ms Fisher. Quick help in settling the matter. Good contact, friendly service.
FisherWright helped me sort my family matter. Fantastic service, would highly recommend. Professional and efficient approach to resolve the issue. Extremely reliable and clear communication throughout the entire process. Huge thanks to Eva and her team for helping make my life much easier during this difficult time.
This lady is an angel! Ewa helped me so much and was always there for me, from the first meeting I knew that I wanted her to be my lawyer. She is not just my solicitor, she is very kind and understanding and was very well prepared for my case . I only wish the best for all of the solicitors in the office, truly nice and sincere people.
Nice lawyers and I strongly recommend Mrs Fisher me and my wife were seeking good advice for our family problem, although Ms Ewa could not advice both of us, This was good choice from the internet, very nice ladies and the team, you feel comfortable and everything is done for you with great standards. I wish to give the five stars as they deserve, thank you.
Thank you so much for very fast and professional help with my British Citizenship application and earlier divorce case. The price was also very competitive. Thank you Ms Ewa.
Very nice divorce lawyers, sensible advice and friendly staff, overall was very happy to proceed with them, divorce was concluded as promised, I def recommend this firm

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!

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.
Richard provided some much needed advice with respect to family law matters and on reaching a financial settlement. His patient approach coupled with his experience in this area was a huge encouragement. I would definitely recommend him and his practice.
I found Richard after extensive searching; he had good reviews and a professional website. My experience of Richard and the service he provides has so far been excellent. He takes the time to really understand what help you need and then gives clear and informed advice. Thanks Richard.
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,
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.
Richard 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.
Richard 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.
