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.

My experience with Mandeep Clair and the team at Grant Saw Solicitors-Lawyers was fantastic. Mandeep is smart, cost-conscious, effecient and really knows her field of law. She has supported me with numerous family settlement matters...She is always on point, easy to reach and communicate with. Mandeep does not waste your time and assists you not to procrastinate hers which saves you money. I found Mandeep to be extremely professional and supportive. She is a pleasure to work and cooperate with and someone you can talk to at anytime.
Mandeep has assisted me many times when I felt lost. She took her time to explain things to put you at ease. Every interaction (emails, phone calls) I had with Mandeep, her colleagues Tyrone and the team, I could tell they truly cared about my outcome and everything was explained to me in detail. I would highly recommend Mandeep, Tyrone, and their team to anyone looking to get quality legal services. You will be taken care of with any issues that they are presented with and their billing is fair, reasonable and great results. Thank you for all the great work.

She didn't sugarcoat the reality of what I had to contend with, but always had options (which was a relief) in how to move forward. She was knowledgeable, in control and communicated every step of the process, available to receive my calls and many questions directly. I have already recommended her to others and will continue to do so.

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. I have always been a great believer in that, it is the staff that makes or breaks a firm and Saika is indeed a real asset. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for everything.

As I was just about to go through a nasty divorce I contacted Broadway solicitors to take on my case and for the first moment I stepped into the office I knew I had made the right choice.
I met Bhavna, who made me feel totally at ease and relaxed that it was more like talking to a friend than a solicitor.
She explained everything clearly and even when I had questions it was no trouble for her to look up answers and reply.
From my few visits to the office the whole team there made me feel welcome.
Bhavna, Noureen and Premal all helped me with everything even down to basic, simple things like sending an email.
100% excellent service from them all and I can't thank them or recommend them highly enough

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.

I 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.

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 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.

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.
