Great family solicitor

Stuart was great throughout my divorce proceedings, providing me with expert professional advice and guidance, delivered in good humour. His calm approach did much to relieve my anxiety and helped disarm the largely hysterical opposition! I can't recommend Stuart highly enough.

Exceptional family law solicitor

Stuart was outstanding throughout my divorce proceedings, providing me with expert guidance, empathy and infinite patience during a hugely challenging time. He helped me navigate the divorce process with outstanding professionalism and always kept things calm and on track. I really felt listened to and I had total confidence in Stuart's approach as he is so knowledgeable and has impeccable judgement. I cannot recommend Stuart highly enough, the outcome of my divorce was the absolute best I could have hoped for and has enabled me to move on with my life and I feel so fortunate that Stuart was able to take over my case, he is a pleasure to deal with.

First class legal advice with a human touch

Stuart assisted me with a very complicated case concerning my children's safety. I'm very grateful to say he secured a judgement that kept the children safe. The case involved children's services, the police public protection unit, analysis of a criminal conviction, and evidence from a probation officer and two forensic psychologists. We were 18 days in court and by the end the bundle was 2400 pages, all of which had been read, analyzed, and collated by Stuart. I was very anxious about the whole situation, and so needed a lot of guidance. Throughout Stuart skillfully balanced giving excellent legal advice with patiently walking me through each situation and permutation to help me come to a decision. It wasn't long before Stuart knew every detail as well as I did and was regularly anticipating my responses. Stuart brought empathy, patience, and humanity to every interaction in a way that I couldn't have anticipated. Stuart is now a partner at Rowberry Morris and I think that speaks volumes about what they value in their staff. I wholeheartedly recommend Stuart and Rowberry Morris.
