Slater Heelis

Mark Heptinstall of Slater Heelis is an exceptional lawyer. I found him to be extremely knowledgeable, approachable, down to earth and pragmatic. His advice was clear and always in my interest. Once I'd decided my course of action he was thorough, professional and quick. It felt I had a top barrister as my new best friend and I can't recommend him highly enough.
Dave ByronDear Mark,
Just a little note to thank you for your hard work in helping me through this very difficult time in my life. It was a pleasure to have you working for me.
I would have no hesitation in using your services again or recommending you to friends and acquaintances.
Please also say thank you to your collegues and receptionist who have also been very kind.
A satisfied client from A Chapman Manchester.
nathan burnI would highly recommend Mark Heptinstall as 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!!
Ellen McCallumMark Heptinstall helped me throughout my divorce with his empathy and knowledge and competence.
I would have been lost without him and owe him a great deal.

Bell & Buxton

I have used this company’s services and cannot recommend highly enough. Demelza looked after me and was really helpful, knowledgeable and down to earth. Short park and walk in the city centre.
Andrew ChessmanFriendly professional service. Demelza Wrigley to be recommended for divorce proceedings.
Peter GamblingBell and Buxton assisted us recently in the legal documentation required for minors to travel to South Africa without their parents. The solicitor we dealt with was particularly helpful and went above and beyond to ensure we had all the correct documentation at short notice. The trip was able to go ahead without any hitches. Would not hesitate in highly recommending.

The best of the best. I was recommended by a good friend to use Prince Family Law for my divorce and child case. David, Sarah and Lisa were the right people to see my case through. I have many friends who are solicitors in the Chesterfield and Sheffield area and they also refered my to Prince Family Law. A great team. Thank you for the great work you do. Keep up the amazing work you do.

I have had the good fortune to use David Prince on both occasions.
Prince Family Law have been totally professional from start to finish and whilst it can be a stressful process David and his team have always been reassuring and nothing is too much trouble.
I have recommended Prince Family Law to friends and I believe their level of satisfaction has been as good as mine. If you are looking for a superb service I suggest you instruct them to act on your behalf. Highly recommended.

Acclaimed Family Law

Michelle Cooper listened to my case and advised me instantly of what I was entitled too with my divorce.
Michelle was consistently reliable, practical and comprehensive. Importantly, when there was a degree of urgency Michelle was quick to respond. Acclaimed family Law have a proactive approach and their counsel is always positive and constructive.
I was extremely happy and delighted with the service provided it made everything so much easier and less stressful.
Jill Raine always provided excellent support and is a valuable asset to Michelle and the team. Jill's advice was always pragmatic, timely and explained in terms I could understand.
Highly recommended
Nicola ShawMichelle Cooper, backed up by Jill Raine (her assistant) are a dynamic duo. I would have no hesitation in recommending them. The service they provide their clients is excellent. You will be listened to, supported and guided through, what can be, a difficult and worrying process. By the end they felt like friends.
Jo ClarkThoroughly happy with Acclaimed Family Law. Michelle is an excellent experienced solicitor who gets great results.
Sarah PowellI cannot praise this company highly enough. From the moment I stepped through the door, in a state of shock when I found out my husband was cheating, to the moment when Decree Absolute was granted, I was fully supported. The team listen to you and explain everything clearly, they patiently answer all the silly little questions that pop up. They are actually take interest in you as a person too. They kept me sane through my divorce, I didn't have to worry as they took care of everything and in a timely manner too. They got me a great settlement and now I can get on with my life without having to worry. I recommend Acclaimed Family Law without any hesitation whatsoever. Professional and friendly. Thank you to all the team who looked after me.
Jill PaigeI cannot recommend Michelle and the team highly enough. Amazing service and amazing results. THANK YOU.
Jo HumphThe advice, help and guidance that I received from Acclaimed Family Law, and in particular, Sandra Russell [in Michelle Cooper's team] was outstanding. With a wealth of knowledge, understanding and integrity, I was always up to date with proceedings and fully informed. Completely recommended.

Amazing professional service. I used Wake Smith for divorce and financial clean break. Very good advice and quick turn around. Lindsey Canning and the team were fantastic. Highly recommended.

She is very experienced and provided valuable legal advice while focussing on keeping costs down as much possible and this is something I really appreciated from Lindsey Canning. I thank the team and Lindsey and wish them best of luck.

The Best Family Solicitors, Independently Listed

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.
