Vardags
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.
ValerieI 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.
EvaI 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.
Brenda HartThe 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.

AWD Law
Exceptional service from Oi-Yuyn and her team. You get professional, slick, and extremely efficient service that cuts through all the legal waffle and just simply gets the job done. You get clear communication along the way and no unexpected financial surprises. Although she leads you through the maze of family law, you feel in total control at all times. But what they excel in the most is recognising and understanding that they are dealing with people and their feelings.
In addition to family law, Paul Davies and his team again give exceptional service while negotiating through the some what antiquated home buying system we have here in England. There is much that goes on in the background but Paul ensures you are kept in the loop at all times.
Don't waste your time hunting for legal representation, simply call AWD Law, you won't be disappointed.
Mark HuxfordI really can't thank oi-yuyu and Alyciette enough for all their hard work in achieving my outcome. Brilliant firm with friendly switched on people.
christian MillingtonOi-Yuyn has been great dealing with my Divorce that went on for over 2 years. She explained everything patiently to me, answered all my questions and calmed me down when needed.
I couldn't have asked for a better Solicitor, so thank you for being there for me, and supporting me through those bleak times.

Having used Quality Solicitors Large and Gibson for my divorce papers, Peter Dymock and his team were fantastic! Sympathetic, professional and efficient whilst taking the stress out of what is an emotional time I am very grateful for all their help. Thank you again and I would highly recommend using their services.
Caroline SmithersI cannot recommend this firm and Peter Dymock enough. Every person you deal with in this firm genuinely cares and treats you with total respect and professionalism. Thoroughly impressive and highly recommended.

He is so sympathetic to my situation whilst retaining utter professionalism throughout this ongoing matter. He has continued to advise me on the absolute best way forward and the most likely outcome given my own personal case. Absolute 5*S*T*A*R*
LINDY VINUEBrilliant experience with Large & Gibson. I needed specialist advice on a tricky issue that I was dealing with which was dealt with by Peter extremely professionally but also friendly too. Just the advice I needed and he went over and above to help me out - worth every penny.

The Best Family Solicitors, Independently Listed
Each solicitor listed by Wiselaw is independently researched and considered against strict criteria. Examples of the criteria are shown below.
Trusted Reviews
The quality and content of feedback that clients have given via trusted review services such as Google and TrustPilot.
Recognised Accreditations
Formal accreditations that are awarded to firms based on their expertise and/or their outstanding working practices.
Award Winning
Industry-recognised awards for superior business practices, legal expertise or customer care.
Client Focused
Evidence of high quality client care, including reviews received, publishing and sharing legal knowledge, and quality of enquiry replies.
Reported Cases
The extent to which the solicitor has been involved in cases that have helped to shape and change wider family law.
Price Band
Is the solicitor one of the best within their price band? A lower-priced or mid-priced solicitor will be included if they are the best compared to other solicitors in the same price band.
Proven History
Does the solicitor have a proven track record, earned over years, of being an extremely shrewd legal practitioner? They aren’t in any way new or unproven.
Legal Specialism
The solicitor is well recognised for having a specialism in a particular area of family law, such as international divorce, abduction, or custody.
Rising Star
Is the solicitor part of an established firm and they have quickly gained a reputation for being expert in their field? A highly skilled rising star who doesn’t yet command the highest fees, so making them very good value.
Depth of Team
Does the solicitor’s surrounding team contain high calibre lawyers and secretaries who collectively can offer broader and deeper legal advice as circumstances require?
