“Mark Heptinstall did a fantastic job”
Mark Heptinstall did a fantastic job dealing with everything professionally and quickly, responded to queries quickly and clearly even while on holiday or after hours, I could not be more pleased with the service provided.
“Responsive, considerate and very professional. Highly recommended.”
Excellent service from the team at Slater Heelis. Responsive, considerate and very professional. Highly recommended.
“The support and legal advice I received was excellent”
Having had to resolve a complex family case involving child arrangements, I engaged the services of Slater Heelis. Throughout this difficult time the support and legal advice I received was excellent and resulted in a positive outcome in Family Court. I would not hesitate to recommend their services should I need further legal help in the future.
“Would highly recommend”
Excellent professional service! Very informative and helpful meeting and we were provided with additional follow-up information after the meeting. Would highly recommend.
Professional, compassionate service was delivered with speed and accuracy , thank you.
“Mark's knowledge of law and compassionate approach really was a shining light”
I'm not usually one for reviews - I felt compelled to write one, after contacting a different organisation on a very personal family matter they passed my details on to Slater Heelis - within hours I was in the safe, secure reassuring professional hands of Mark Heptinstall. Mark's knowledge of the law and compassionate approach really was a shining light. Thank you so much!
“His advice was clear and always in my interest”
Mark Heptinstall 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.
“He is thorough, knowledgeable and takes no nonsense”
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!!
Extremely friendly and professional service from true experts.
“Mark Heptinstall guided me through, step by step, calmly and clearly”
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.

“She has always been methodical & thorough”
I have dealt with Stowe and Maria Coster for some time over family and property matters and found her to be extremely helpful, understanding and competent. Maria was also compassionate which was something that meant alot due to the nature of my case and the involvement of my children. She has always been methodical and thorough in finding the best way to deal with matters and I would highly recommend Maria and Stowe to anyone needing a family solicitor. Thanks again Maria
“I am so appreciative of her caring nature and support”
Maria Coster helped me through one of the most challenging times in my life. I was able to meet with her pre-covid and found her so empathetic and kind. I am so appreciative of her caring nature and support, as this is not something I ever expected to have to do. She clearly explained what would be involved in going through a divorce and outlined approximate costs upfront. I had very little understanding of the divorce process, Maria took the time to go through all the things that would need to be done as part of the process and explained other legal work I might require, explaining exactly why it might be needed and rough costs. She also provided recommendations for services that Stowe Family Law couldn't provide, such as will writing and conveyancing solicitors. I ended up using Maria for my divorce, financial order and severing of tenancy. This has allowed me to have a clean break and has protected me from any future financial claims. I cannot commend Stowe Family Law enough, they kept me up to date with progress of my divorce, made it clear what was required of me and kept me up to date with costs throughout the whole process and with the added challenge of covid-19. They adapted quickly to remote working and I did not feel impacted by this at all. Thank you for all your help and advice. I would definitely recommend them to anyone requiring family law services. Other law firms I approached were cold and uncaring.
“She dealt with my case professionally & sensitively”
I was very fortunate to have chosen Maria Costa for my divorce proceedings & financial order. She dealt with my case professionally & sensitively with an immense amount of support & was always very responsive to my calls/messages. I cannot thank Maria enough & made a very stressful situation a much more bearable one. I would definitely use Maria again if required. I can highly recommend Stowey Family Law.
“Really grateful for her help & very fortunate to have chosen Maria”
Maria assisted me through a pretty messy divorce. I had fantastic and realistic advice the whole way through which helped me to secure an outcome that was best for me. Maria is very knowledgeable and professional and approaches incredibly difficult personal times with sensitivity. She helped me to understand the legal processes and outcomes which really helped me too in terms of the divorce, finances and childrens matters. I am really grateful for her help and very fortunate to have chosen Maria.
“She was extremely thorough & professional and exceeded expectations”
I have used Maria Coster over the last couple of years. I moved to Maria from another firm as I was left in the dark with things. From the first day I met Maria, we sat down and went over everything. She was extremely thorough and professional and exceeded expectations. Things were always explained clearly. My cases were always dealt with efficiently in a timely manner. Wendy Barker - November 26, 2021 Long Difficult divorce Maria Coster was brilliant very helpful and a good result at the end Thank You
“Maria dealt with my case with a high degree of professionalism, expertise & efficiency”
I cannot speak highly enough of the way in which my case was handled by Maria Coster and the rest of the team at Stowe Family Law. From initial contact where I was given an assessment of my case and an estimate of costs, Maria dealt with my case with a high degree of professionalism, expertise and efficiency and I found her to be extremely knowledgeable, which was most reassuring at a very stressful time. Given my overseas location in relation to the Sheffield office of Stowe Family Law, all matters were dealt with from distance and with the minimum of inconvenience. I could not be happier with the level of service and advice provided and would not have the slightest hesitation in recommending Maria, and indeed now feel confident I have someone to call on for all my future personal legal and family law needs.
“She was professional, honest, & got the job done”
I would highly recommend Maria Coster, I have used her for family law and she was professional, honest, and got the job done. I live in Canada and my ex is in the UK, and never had any problems being in a different country, her communication with time difference was impeccable!!!
“I found her commitment and determination quite simply exemplary”
I was fortunate to be represented by Maria Coster, her calm, sensitive, friendly, pragmatic approach to my situation was reassuring and comforting. Maria ensured that I fully understood every stage of the legal process, which made me feel represented rather than railroaded. Her youthfulness is not to be underestimated, she is highly knowledgeable in all aspects of family law, including divorce, children issues and financial matters, resulting in her being a formidable force in the courtroom. She achieved the very best outcome for me, and I cannot thank her enough. I found her commitment and determination quite simply exemplary and would highly recommend Maria Coster.
“Maria went above and beyond”
Both Sushma and Maria have been exceptional throughout my case, they really listened to my issues and have been really supportive. Suffering from anxiety, they have always been extremely considerate and have made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process. Maria went above and beyond within my court case recently and gave me a better outcome than I was originally expecting. I'm still working closely with Sushma and Maria and will have no hesitation to go back to them in the future, if needed.
“Would definitely recommend Stowe Family Law”
Very professional and always quick to respond to emails etc. Maria gave extremely useful advice, and was happy for me to fill out forms and complete statements myself to keep the costs down. She also recommended a barrister who was brilliant on the big day, and helped me to get a good result for me and my son. I would definitely recommend Stowe Family Law to anybody going through child arrangements disputes.

Keep up the amazing work you do.

“I was extremely happy and delighted with the service provided”
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

Michelle 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.

I cannot praise this company highly enough.

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.

I want to Thank You enormously for the manner in which you handled my rent divorce case. quite apart from your legal expertise which was 100% SPOT ON! I would like to commend the sensitivity with which you dealt with the case due to the high emotional stakes involved. I found the case harrowing and I felt handled with compassion and patience throughout especially when needing you to reiterate advice about the complex option. Thank you for your steady and very capable handling of my case. Your measured approach and carefully evaluated tactics produced a swift and outstanding result, one which I frankly thought impossible. Well Done and many, many thanks. Yours gratefully. PK

“I would recommend them as they have been brilliant”
Best have been amazing. The other parties solicitors made a few errors on my divorce which caused a delay, in the middle of a pandemic and I honestly can not fault BEST.

I would recommend them as they have been brilliant.
