What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

VM Family Law Ltd is described by clients as a family law practice in Bolton where divorce, financial remedy and child contact matters are handled with care and clear guidance. Several customers name Laura, Victoria, Janet, Ceri, Julie, Mandy Rimmer and Pamela, repeatedly mentioning professionalism alongside kindness, patience and empathy during difficult proceedings. A point that comes up often is the clarity of explanations: reviewers recall being talked through each stage, having options set out plainly and understanding their rights before deciding how to proceed. Responsiveness is another recurring theme, with clients noting that questions were answered promptly and that matters moved at a reassuring pace.

The advice itself is consistently described as knowledgeable, with Victoria’s grasp of divorce and financial remedy work and Mandy Rimmer’s representation in child contact cases singled out, while Janet’s initial consultations are praised for providing reassurance and a sense of direction. Reviewers also mention that communication remained transparent from the first call through to the conclusion of their cases. Clients speak of being treated as individuals rather than as paying customers, with support continuing on a personal level as proceedings unfolded, and they describe the outcomes as successful, bringing peace of mind.

During my divorce and such a stressful time my solicitor Laura was brilliant. Great advice given throughout and great support at court. The whole practice is great to deal with and are friendly caring and empathetic and I would not hesitate to recommend them.

I would highly recommend Laura and her colleagues for their excellent support throughout my divorce process. They were professional, knowledgeable, kind, and always willing to help with any questions I had. Their guidance made a very difficult time much easier to manage, and I truly appreciated their patience and understanding. Thank you for all your hard work and support.

I recently received advice from Janet regarding divorce matters, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the support she provided. She clearly explained every step of the process, making a complicated situation feel more manageable. Janet took the time to answer all my questions and ensured I fully understood my options. Her professionalism, empathy and clear guidance helped me feel more prepared for the next steps. Highly recommended.

I first Contacted VM back in 2021 due to family issues - I met with Ceri soon after my initial call with them who I have since worked closely with on my case. During the last few years the support, guidance and expert advice has been outstanding with Ceri, Julie and the rest of the team going above and beyond to support me in a professional level and also on a personal level I did not just feel like a client who was paying money out for a service I have seen and felt genuine emotion, empathy and compassion from Ceri and the team during my case. I can’t recommend this firm enough anyone who needs services of this nature should look no further you won’t just get what you pay for like most legal firms you will get genuine face to face support and real and helpful guidance throughout the process. I know from experience using another legal firm that not all firms are like VM in fact I have not come across another firm quite like it. The true professionalism from the team when it is needed is there but they will also treat you with respect and care and not just see you as another revenue stream like most other companies seem to do. Obviously I hope the future unfolds in a way which I no longer need to use the expertise from VM but if I do I know that they are one phone call away from instantaneous support and guidance no waiting lists no messing around just fast paced reactive responses by email and calls when called upon. I wish Ceri and all the team the very best for the future in business and in life. I will be forever grateful for all you have done for me and my family. Thanks . Steve

I had a consultation with Janet who was amazing. She explained everything so well to me and helped me understand my rights and how to move forward in my situation. I would definitely recommend her to anybody needing a family law solicitor.

I have been a Client of Mandy Rimmer's for some time now, through a very difficult child contact case. She is an amazing solicitor. I would not want to be represented in family court by anyone else. She has been a wonderfully calming influence during stressful times and is a highly confident and competent solicitor. Very prompt and responsive to communications which is always appreciated when juggling work and single parenting. The other members of the team are also lovely. The legal secretaries (Julie and Vicky) are truely an asset to the team and everyone is kind and friendly and take great pride in their work. I also really appreciated the input from Janet at my final hearing. She was so reassuring on a very long and difficult day and worked very well alongside the barrister. I would highly recommend VM Family law to anyone going through a challenging time in their family court process. It's daunting for everyone, but Mandy and team made it as easy as possible for me and my family. Thank you for all you do!

Mandy Rimmer was amazing throughout my divorce. She is knowledgeable, patient and kind and supported me at a time when I was feeling very vulnerable and overwhelmed . I would recommend her to anyone needing legal representation during an emotional journey. Mandy was there every step of the way. Thank you.
