Mark Curtis I would highly recommend AnneMarie Bradley. I found myself in a very difficult position during my divorce. her understanding of the position and making me see this from a different point of view helped me defend my position.... along with a defence it placed me in a driving position and saved me a lot of money. The end result was justice and I will be forever grateful. Dale Heathcote Vardags aren't cheap, but they are worth it. Steve Vardags is among the most effective, efficient, and successful group of solicitors I have encountered. They sit at the top table of skill and innovation in family law. They were remarkably caring and attentive to me during a... difficult period. When my position looked bleak, they protected me with a creative defense based upon legal precedent which I never imagined existed under English law. Thanks to their tireless efforts, I walk away from this episode free to move on with both my career and my life in peace. You may find good or even great lawyers, but based on my personal experience, they are the best. Cliff Krause I am so happy I got to make the call to Vardags first! Excellent service. Whole team of forensics that I would have been totally lost without. I really cannot thank you enough for a perfect outcome to a complicated and not easy... case. Your care throughout was amazing. Christina Wolff Ethical & compassionate as well as being very good at what they do.

This false perception of reality can prove costly for both parties, if not kept in check. Where this is the case, full disclosure will be vital in demonstrating that there are no hidden assets while reassuring your spouse that everything has been done transparently. Equally important will be obtaining thorough valuations. As top family lawyers, Vardags are experienced in dealing with valuation in complex divorce cases. Vardags know which questions will yield a realistic valuation. Combining family law knowledge with corporate experience, supported by our own in-house forensic accountancy team, we have well established links with expert valuers for almost everything, including businesses, properties or even art collections. When reports are prepared we will ensure that the expert is asked the right questions, for example analysing the method which they employ in business valuation or raising key questions about discounting or liquidity. By providing full disclosure while ensuring the valuations before the courts are as accurate as possible, we will help achieve an outcome which reflects the reality of your financial situation. **If you're considering or going through a divorce, click below for a free initial consultation with one of our expert divorce solicitors.** [Click here to read](https://vardags.com/faq/divorce/unrealistic-view-of-worth) more or [here for our complete list of Divorce FAQs](https://vardags.com/faq/divorce) [Book Your Free Consultation](https://vardags.com/contact "Book Your Free Consultation") [Vardags climbs ranks of UK's biggest firms in The Lawyer's UK 200](https://vardags.com/posts/vardags-london-climbs-ranks-of-uks-biggest-firms-in-the-lawyers-uk-200)
