Family law advice and guidance

Used this company on many occasions for various legal matters and would thoroughly recommend to others. Excellent service and advice each time. Communications were prompt, concise and thorough and on all of the issues I have used the Company for, my cases were handled professionally from start to finish.

Extremely poor service , Mark promised everything & delivered nothing

overpriced , poor communication, my position statement was not even presented during the case to my extreme financial detriment.

One word sums up mark Vandale & George Smith LLP

Unprofessional !

Family Law - School Arrangements (Specific Order Issue)

5

I approached George Green after being referred by a work colleague (specifically to Mark) in relation to a Family Law matter. I wanted to change my daughters school in order to improve her welfare. I originally represented myself at the first hearing but immediately recognised the need for a solicitor. When speaking to Mark as well as other members of the George Green representatives, it was clear that they wanted to understand the reasons for my court application and showed great empathy towards the situation. They immediately recognised my reasoning and were clear in what steps I should take next.

I cannot fault, the guidance, the knowledge and the professionalism of Mark and his team throughout the court process and would not hesitate to use Mark or George Green again.

Divorce

5

From our first meeting Mark was reassuring and informative . He was professional and straight talking in his approach which, along with his ability to listen and show understanding, was a key factor with my choice of solicitor.
He always responded quickly to calls and emails and with solutions to my many concerns.
I would not hesitate in recommending Mark and his team at George Green Solicitors

Excellent, heartfelt help

Mark Vandaele was a breath of fresh air in terms of my interactions with family solicitors.
His strategy and efficient yet friendly manner were excellent value for money, in my opinion.
I could not fault any of my experiences with any of the staff at George Green.

Financial settlement

2

I can only give my personal opinion and having spent close to £20,000 without even going to a final hearing I feel the the opening proposal put to the judge by Mark made the judge angry. In court I.M.O. we got slaughtered by my ex wife's legal team. Overall I am sorry to say I was not impressed with Mark. I was told my ex wife's solicitor said my solicitor (Mark) was rubbish on the day. If you are reasonably intelligent I suggest representing yourself in court at the financial resolution hearing, it will save you close to £20,000 compared with using George Green !

Anyone who is going through a divorce will understand the importance of having the right solicitor in your corner ! I can not speak highly enough of Mark Vandaele he is the very best solicitor you could have .
He really does care , he listens to you and will spend time explaining things clearly . He will be completely honest with you .
As a woman I came to the point of believing that there was no way forward for me , I was so wrong Mark took on my case and fought my side .
I can’t thank him and his team enough
I have my life back!
Thank you

George Green Solicitors handled my divorce. I must say Mark Vandaele and his team where professional while still being very personable, which goes a long way to making what is an exceedingly difficult time more manageable. Mark guided me through the divorce process efficiently and with understanding, which in my case meant the divorce was finalised within 12 months. Therefore, I have no hesitation in recommending them to someone going through a similar process.

I would highly recommend Mark Vandaele and Aimee Stokes. I found Mark and Aimee to be direct, focused on key issues, professional but also approachable.

Having got divorced using another solicitor I was hitting a brick wall trying to sort out the financial part and getting a clean break, so I switched to mark and his knowledge is second to none and he got it all sorted in less than twelve months.
