“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.
“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.
“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!

“I would like to thank him for being so kind and supportive”
Mr Davies was fantastic support throughout the whole of my divorce. Without his professional opinion and advice my difficult situation would have been even more stressful and upsetting to cope through. I would like to thank him and his secretary Miss Day for being so kind and supportive and would recommend Hamilton Davies to anyone. Kindest regards, Charlotte Joyce
They are solicitors & helped me out during my divorce & returned a number of years later for business help.
“Dealt with my matter within a short period of time with absolute professionalism”
I have never seen a high level of service that cannot be measured. The team and Mr. Davies dealt with my matter within a short period of time with absolute professionalism and class. Very friendly team with a welcoming atmosphere.

“She was the loveliest person I’ve ever had to work with”
A little while back, I had to ask Sandra from Fosters Legal Services to help me in her knowledge of the law on Divorce. She was the loveliest person I’ve ever had to work with along with her team in sorting out my Legal bits in my Divorce. Very professional and always there for me. Even in my darkest days she helped me through some very tough times. I will never forget her and to this very day I would recommend her to anyone who needs help. Sandra was always at my side when I needed her and always ready to listen to me and help, along with tissues and the best advise that I could of had. From rock bottom to coming back with my head held high. I would recommend her every time. Thank you Sandra, you as they say are; Simply The Best and hopefully a true friend. Yours Truely Mrs Teresa Swain

“I felt handled with compassion and patience”
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

“Professional, friendly and efficient”
I was recommended to use these solicitors by a friend. They were my solicitors throughout my divorce and were very helpful. They took me through all the documentation at my pace and answered any and all questions that I had. Even though our interactions were mainly remote all correspondences and questions were answered swiftly and to a high level of detail. During the process, my "ask" changed and they were happy to explain the changes and potential scenarios. Using this firm pushed my divorce through as i had been trying to manage it myself for a period but I am no expert. During my first consultation, I was given a guide to how much the process would cost and it ended up being was very close to what they estimated. I would recommend this company to a friend who found themselves in a similar situation to the one I was in as they are professional, friendly and efficient.
“Very grateful for Kathy's services and guidance”
I was very happy with the services and assistance I received from Katharine Scoot and the Family Law team at HRJ Foreman Laws. Kathy was very understanding, professional, and informative during an extremely difficult time for my young daughter and myself. It's been a lengthy, painful, and costly process, and Kathy was quick to expedite matters, whilst at the same time endeavouring to keep my costs to a minimum. I would definitely recommend Katharine Scoot's services to anyone in a similar position to myself, having suffered domestic abuse, been through an extremely acrimonious separation from my daughter's father, and moved forward to a stage where negotiations could take place, subsequently avoiding another potentially costly hearing in Court. The Family Court system is unpleasant and traumatic, so I was very grateful for Kathy's services and guidance through the system and it's procedures. Kathy's extensive knowledge of domestic violence, substance abuse, and safeguarding was invaluable during this time, and helped myself and my family navigate our way through this difficult process.
