Divorce
Mark gave wise counsel during a 3 year divorce process which never became acrimonious due in large part to his patience and humour . I recommend Mark and his colleagues highly

Thank-you to Mark and his team!
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.

A Lifeline During the Hardest Time of My Life
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.

Experienced, decisive and easy to deal with
Mark is very good at what he does, experienced in his field and able to give clear advice when dealing with complicated issues and scenarios. Clearly a divorce process is challenging, but I was always able to have honest and straight conversations with Mark, in a positive way which enabled progression of my case quickly and efficiently.
I had a couple of complicated issues to resolve which were dealt with competently resulting in clear drafting for all parties. I felt Mark understood my goals, and worked quickly to help keep moving things forward to a conclusion.
As much as I hope I never need him again...... I would recommend Mark's services.

Pragmatic, realistic and safe!
Mark was a real guide to me through my divorce. An emotional time for me, Mark was able to be empathetic while still remaining pragmatic and steer me in the right direction. I felt safe in Mark’s hands and always felt that he had my best interests at heart. Mark having the experience as a judge also provides a difference lens and broader perspective on what is and isn’t feasible. I really felt that Mark was on my side and trusted his judgement. Thanks Mark for aiding me through a tough ride!

Look no further
Through three years of an antagonistic divorce Mark provided excellent advice and support, especially at key moments in the process. Down to earth and always available 24/7 I couldn’t have got better advice and service. Look no further.

Closing a chapter for good! Thank you!
Not many people you come across in your life have been ‘called’ to do the work they do. Mark is one of those people who are just that. Mark and his team helped me close a chapter in my life that had been prolonged for over 12 years. Mark’s very pragmatic and no-nonsense approach is the kind of professionalism I needed to close this chapter for good. Thank you, Mark and the team, for your hard work and commitment to this. I would highly recommend them as a first point of contact for difficult cases.
