Solicitor at Clarke & Son Solicitors Limited

Mark Chapman

Solicitor - Associate & Head of Family Department

SRA ID: 378239

I have been a practising Family Law specialist since 2006 upon qualifying as a solicitor. I have a wealth of experience in acting for clients across the many different areas of Family Law and have been working as a Family Lawyer in North Hampshire and Berkshire since 2010. My particular area of expertise is in assisting clients with the breakdown of their marriages/relationships, and I am regularly instructed by High-Net-worth clients. To that end, when the case merits such an approach, I will often advise of the need to instruct a forensic accountant, in order to have a better understanding of the financial circumstances that the parties find themselves in. I am also regularly instructed in Children Act proceedings, with many of those cases being of a complex nature.

Well 5 stars I believe tells one what you need to know. Great service and knowledge from Mark Chapman.
My only gripe is the long wait to get an appointment to see Mr Chapman. Where my Ex could get one with hers quickly. Maybe that tells you something! I am being picky here Lol.

Assistance with divorce and child act proceedings

5

On the basis of a recommendation, I instructed Clarke & Son Solicitors (Mark C) to assist with my divorce and child act proceedings. Obviously this came at a time of great upheaval and stress for me however the help of Mark was invaluable as he guided me through the complex process.
There were times when I would receive communication from the 'other side' which would rile me however Mark ensured that we always responded in an appropriate and respectful way (despite me sometimes wishing we would respond in a more incendiary fashion - that rarely helps of course, but when you're in the midst of a tough situation, sometimes that's how you feel you should respond). Fortunately Mark's experience saw me through the turbulent time.
