Vardags takes care to match the client to the solicitor. Within 2 months, Vardags got me everything I needed. I would not have the future I now have in front of me if it wasn't for Vardags.

I had the pleasure of working with Tatiana Amdur during a very challenging time in my life, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From our first consultation, Tatiana displayed a remarkable blend of professionalism, empathy,...  and expertise. She took the time to understand the intricacies of my case and provided clear, actionable advice that was always in my best interest.

Alexandra Gutina



Simply the best. They helped me through a very challenging divorce and with their support I managed to turn what appeared to be a hopeless lost cause into an outcome that allowed me to remain emotionally and financially intact. I...  felt supported by a dedicated and skilled team, fighting on my side to protect my interests.

Family Law Fact: What personal data is collected when arrested
--------------------------------------------------------------



When you are arrested by the police, they will read the caution to you and usually take you to a police station. During this time, they will collect some personal data. Samples from a detainee can only be taken where it is justified and necessary for preventing, detecting or investigating a crime.

At the police station, an officer will check your full name, date of birth and address. They may also ask you questions about your health and whether you feel you are a risk to yourself.

Obtaining a DNA sample is usually required to check the Police National Computer (PNC) to see if the profile of the detainee matches anyone already on the system. If the existing identity of the person is known, then this does not need to happen. Once a DNA sample has been processed it is added to the detainees profile on the National database. It does not matter if the person is charged or prosecuted- their details will still be added and stored.

What happens to your personal belongings?
-----------------------------------------

An officer will check any belongings which you may have with you. They will request items such as your mobile phone, purse or wallet or any other items you are carrying with you. These should be placed in an envelope and sealed, and unless they are part of a case you are involved in, they should be returned to you.
