Mark and Andrew provided invaluable guidance during a complex and drawn-out divorce. They were very pragmatic and patiently and clearly explained the legal steps required, and their help was invaluable in drawing up the final financial settlement that was agreeable to both parties. I am very grateful for their advice and help over a period of 2 years.

I cant say I would ever wish to go through the process of getting divorced again, however if I had to, I would not think twice about calling Amy.
Amy's Super Powers are:
Turning my emotionally charged instruction into clear, firm, strategic action
Always calm, composed and clear on the goal, regardless of what came in from the other side

I had the pleasure of having Rebecca as my solicitor, and I couldn't be more grateful for her support and professionalism throughout my case. She was fantastic and incredibly efficient, always prompt in responding to my many queries and providing clear, reassuring advice. Her communication gave me real peace of mind, knowing I was in capable hands. Rebecca handled everything with care, attention to detail, and a strong sense of commitment. Thanks to her, my case was resolved smoothly and effectively. I highly recommend Rebecca to anyone in need of a dedicated and reliable legal professional.

Words will never fully capture how grateful I am to Mark Heptinstall and his incredible team. They weren’t just my legal representatives — they became my voice, my shield, and my constant source of strength during one of the most painful and overwhelming chapters of my life.
Mark’s compassion, patience, and unwavering dedication gave me hope when I felt completely alone and unheard. He took the time to understand not only my case but also me — my fears, my children’s needs, and the injustice I was facing. His advice was always calm, clear, and deeply reassuring, no matter how chaotic things got.
Every member of his team showed kindness, empathy, and professionalism beyond what I ever expected. They responded quickly, kept me informed, and treated my situation with genuine care — like I mattered.
Because of Mark and his team, I felt protected. I felt believed. And most importantly, I felt that someone truly cared about fighting for what was right.
If you are struggling and need someone to stand beside you — not just as a solicitor, but as a human being who cares — Mark Heptinstall is the person you want in your corner. I will never forget what he and his team have done for me.

I came to Hannah shock from an experience in which I didn’t know how to deal with. She helped me through everything and ended up getting the whole case dropped. Would highly recommend.
Thanks Hannah!

I highly recommend Kaleel Anwar as a solicitor. Throughout my matter, he demonstrated exceptional efficiency, deep legal knowledge, and a meticulous attention to detail. His ability to quickly identify the key issues and take a realistic yet constructive approach was invaluable in navigating what could have otherwise been a much more difficult process.
Kaleel doesn’t spend time on distractions—he focuses on what truly matters and works proactively toward resolution. His calm, clear communication style and strategic thinking gave me confidence every step of the way throughout my divorce proceedings. I’m grateful for his support and generosity, and would not hesitate to instruct him again or recommend him to others seeking high-quality legal advice.
A representative from Slater Heelis responded to this review on 11 July, 2025:
Thank you for your thoughtful review, Gonzalo. We're delighted to hear Kaleel’s expertise, focus, and clear communication made a real difference during your divorce proceedings. Your recommendation is greatly appreciated.

I’m not usually one to leave reviews, but I felt compelled to share my experience with Alexandra Goldrein at Slater Heelis. After a disappointing experience with a previous family law firm, I made the decision to instruct Alexandra to take over my case — and it was absolutely the right choice.
Alexandra is an outstanding solicitor: highly competent, knowledgeable, and genuinely supportive throughout. She handled my financial settlement with precision and care, achieving exactly the outcome I had hoped for. Throughout the entire process, I felt reassured and at peace, knowing I was in safe hands.
Alexandra — I can’t thank you and your team enough for your professionalism and dedication. You made a stressful situation so much more manageable.
A representative from Slater Heelis responded to this review on 27 May, 2025:
Thank you for sharing your experience. We're thrilled Alexandra and the team could provide the support and outcome you deserved during a difficult time.

I would like to express my gratitude to solicitor Amy Price for the professional advice and guidance she provided during my divorce case. She was incredibly efficient, compassionate, and always responded with remarkable speed. Before I met Amy, I had dealt with other solicitors from different firms who were not as helpful, and I ended up wasting quite a bit of money. That experience made me realize how fortunate I was to find Amy and how efficient she is. Now that my case has finally come to a conclusion, I especially want to thank her for the hard work and dedication she put into it.

I was helped very recently by Daniel Stern, he was brilliant and got me the result I was looking for. He is exceptionally knowledgeable but also listened to my concerns and tried to mitigate them with the advice he gave. He's very accessible and responsive to calls and emails. I would most definitely use him again and certainly recommend him. Thank you.
