Shanika went above a beyond to help my family

Shanika provided us with everything we needed for our upcoming hearing. Even though Shanika was unable to represent me in the high court due to us needing a barrister, she went above and beyond to find us a barrister which was within our price range and in such a short notice period of 24 hours. She contacted me with any updates and was always there to answer any of our questions. Shanika has definitely put our faith back into humanity and I will be forever grateful to her for her support and kindness throughout this difficult time.

Thank you for such heartfelt feedback about Shanika. We know how stressful and overwhelming it can be when court hearings arise unexpectedly, especially with such limited time to prepare, so it’s wonderful to hear how supported you felt throughout. Although Shanika was unable to represent you directly at the High Court hearing, it’s clear she remained fully committed to helping you find the right support and ensuring everything was in place for you at very short notice. Her dedication, communication and willingness to go the extra mile are qualities we are incredibly proud of. Your comments about restoring your faith in humanity are truly touching, and we will make sure Shanika sees your kind words. Thank you again for placing your trust in us during such a difficult time. Best Wishes Stowe Family Law

SHANIKA VARGA From day one you made me feel at ease and took an interest in my case. I was very worried about leaving mark as he did amazing for me in first order. But in the end am glad i took the chance, you have been there for me from start and constantly put forward great advice to me which ill miss but am sure its made me a better parent. Your strengths have been communication replying quickly and solving issues whilst being honest with me upfront. And your emails to opposition party have been professional and bang on! I would defo use you again in the future. So if you ever leave stowe keep in touch. Am grateful, the new order is 100 times better then original one we had before. I knew from start even tho i fighted hard for it i would lose the extra night, its so hard for fathers to get equal rights now but i have nearly just as good with 3 nights on average per week. And a better routine and structure for my son going forward. Every email you sent me would put me at ease knowing i had you fighting my corner, money or no money it did. Big shout out to your friend hannah ross too what a great up coming solicitor she is. Again very much like you a credit to stowe. Ive used alot of stowe solicitors in the past and i can tell you not all of them care as much or go to the lengths like you two do. FANTASTIC, CARING AND COST EFFECTIVE SOLICTOR LOOK NO FURTHER. These people care.

Shanika Varga handled our case, a Step-parent Adoption request by a young Teenager to his Step-father where the absentee Birth Father was contesting the application. We knew from the beginning that the chances of the Adoption being approved were slim and cases like ours were rare. However, Shanika listened to our reasons and gave us clear sound advice from the very start, she clearly understood the importance of what we were trying to do. She was realistic and supportive in her advice, giving us our options at each stage and keeping a close eye on the financial cost for us. Her advice was always delivered clearly and was pro-active, it was so comforting to feel she was completely in control of our situation at a time when we were emotionally vulnerable. We felt that we as a family mattered to her and we trusted her immediately, we never once felt like just another client. The diligence and care she put into our statements and preparations for Court were exceptional, the CAFCASS officer involved the case praised them as probably the best she had seen for their clarity and content. Shanika helped us select a Barrister that was within our budget and that excelled in dealing with less straight forward cases. She ensured that he had everything he needed for Court and supported us throughout the whole ordeal in a manner above and beyond our expectations. We have no doubt that it was Shanika's dedication to detail, diligent hard work and genuine belief in us that took our case from the near impossible, to having a chance, and finally a life changing success. We cannot praise Shanika and the team at Stowe Family Law enough.

In what was a very stressful time, Shanika was not only ultra professional but compassionate and supportive. The other members of staff I spoke to were also exceptionally helpful. I would definitely recommend.
