Michelle is epic!!!

I was recommended Michelle and had a strategy call which outlined a plan. After being served papers from the court unexpectedly, Michelle was able to jump in to action after onboarding and come up with a plan which helped me workout the possible outcomes and tactics to use. Without Michelle, I would be lost. She’s straight talking and direct which I love. Thank you Michelle!

Taking Advantage

These are people that are meant to help people that can not help themselves and thus they exploit it.. Let's start with multiple phone calls to arange with the receptionists to make a move into the process of getting heard and started, each time given my name/number and never passed the message on, Finally arranged a strategy meeting for an hour with Michelle for £390 which she basically just agreed with what i said, mentioned to write a typo on the subject which I did, being such a sensitive matter and being dyslexic I emailed back to confirm the correct intentions.. first reply saying there to busy and on the second reply saying her times £390 an hour and will take 4 hours to look at a couple sentences... totalling £1872.00 on top of what I've paid.. I felt sick especially for how deeply sensitive the matter is to me and to be told "don't worry your under good care". Firstly change there name Stowe means holy place-non biblical but the individual's special place of choice (anglo-saxon originated) and there is nothing special about these guys other than taking full advantage of people in need.. criminals in disguise in my eyes and apparently it's not just me..

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We’re sorry to hear there appears to have been some misunderstanding regarding the costs discussed. To clarify, the payment requested on account was not an indication that the work itself would take four hours to complete. As is standard practice, we requested funds on account at the outset of the matter to cover anticipated work and any additional advice or correspondence that may have been required as the matter progressed. Any unused funds would of course remain on account or be returned in line with our usual procedures. We appreciate that legal costs can sometimes feel unclear and we are always happy to answer any questions clients may have regarding our fee structure before they decide whether to proceed. If you need any further clarification then please call the office. Best Wishes Stowe Family Law

Great service

Michelle was great at helping in a very difficult divorce matter that was protracted and stressful. She is an experienced and calm solicitor who can see the bigger picture and not get drawn into irrelevant issues.

Michael

The work that was carried out had to be achieved in an extremely short timeframe not only were the costs more than competitive the work was of the highest standard.Special thanks and notice to Ellie Michelle and Edward brilliant service from start to finish. While I pray I do not require these services in the future I would certainly not look anywhere else than here.
