• Knowledgeable

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!!
