Ciara Pugh

I instructed Ciara Pugh and Rebecca Bridson at Stowe Family Law to take over my case after my previous solicitors severely mismanaged my file, bungled critical paperwork, and missed a vital court notice. Stepping into an active, mishandled legal crisis requires a high level of professional competence, and both Ciara and Rebecca delivered flawlessly from day one. They immediately conducted a thorough audit of my file, identified the severe procedural errors made by the previous firm (specifically regarding expert testing applications), and implemented a robust, evidence-based strategy to get the proceedings back on track. Rebecca’s meticulous attention to detail, clear communication, and calm, methodical approach kept me grounded during a highly stressful time. Alongside her, Ciara’s outstanding leadership and sharp legal acumen ensured we secured excellent counsel on very short notice. As a professional auditor who values strict compliance, transparency, and risk management, I was incredibly impressed by their straightforward billing and completely objective legal advice. They did not just tell me what I wanted to hear; they told me exactly what needed to be done. If you are looking for a highly competent family law team that will protect your interests with precision and urgency, I cannot recommend Ciara and Rebecca highly enough.

I cannot thank Ciara Pugh at Stowe Family Law, and her team and colleagues Martha, Cassie, and Figen, enough for the outstanding support and guidance I’ve received throughout my case. My case involved a sensitive relocation application and multiple legal disputes within family court, which required not only strong legal expertise but also clarity, strategy, and emotional support. From the very beginning, Ciara’s expertise, strategic insight, and deep understanding of family law consistently put me steps ahead. Through every stage, from paperwork to court hearings, Ciara showed exceptional professionalism and unwavering dedication. She ensured I was never left in the dark, always taking the time to explain each step clearly and with empathy. What truly sets Ciara apart is her rare ability to combine razor-sharp legal skill with genuine compassion, she made an otherwise daunting process feel manageable and, at times, even empowering. Her leadership and proactive approach ensured I was supported from every angle, and she even helped me build a wider network of exceptional professionals to support my case when needed. Ciara and her team didn’t just do their jobs; they went above and beyond. Communication was seamless, the support was constant, and the outcome has been better than I could have imagined. To Ciara and everyone who has supported me at Stowe, thank you. Your skill, commitment, and care have made all the difference. I truly couldn’t have done it without you.

Stowe Family Law is assisting me in a very complicated case for my child arrangements for my daughter which involves domestic abuse and violence. My case is led by Ciara Pugh Senior Associate a very knowledgeable lawyer in family law disputes who accompanied me to Court in the hardest moments of my life. I never thought that I would find a lawyer who would also see the human side of things considering that everything costs money in the world of law. On my bad day of my life when my ex partner sent me the Court application to take my daughter away from me, I met Chantel Fenton who collected from reception and offered me a coffee. It was warm and pleasant considering the loneliness I felt at that moment. Chantel has contacted the Partner Layer Samantha Farndale who started the procedures considering that my ex partner had a no hearing 48h application. I want to tank you All and encourage other people to put their challenges in these professional hands.

cannot speak highly enough of Ciara Pugh and Rebecca Bridson at Stowe Family Law. I came to them in the middle of an absolute crisis, having been severely let down by my previous solicitors who had botched critical paperwork and missed a vital court notice. From the moment Ciara and Rebecca took over the file, the difference in professionalism, strategic thinking, and urgency was night and day. They immediately identified the procedural errors made by the previous firm (specifically regarding expert testing applications) and worked tirelessly to rectify them and get my case back on track. Rebecca’s attention to detail and clear communication kept me grounded during an incredibly stressful time, and Ciara’s leadership ensured we secured excellent counsel on very short notice. As someone who works in a heavily regulated industry where compliance and risk management are paramount, I deeply appreciated their transparent billing and completely objective, evidence-based legal strategy. If you need a family law team that will protect your interests with precision and absolute competence, I highly recommend Ciara and Rebecca.

I was apprehensive about my appointment as I’m in a position that no parent wishes to find themself in. I needn’t have worried, Ciara offered sound and practical advice. As well as being very professional and exceptionally knowledgeable, she was sympathetic of my personal circumstances and was able to present me with all the information I needed to familiarise myself with so that I am able to navigate my way through this challenging time for our family.

Speaking from the heart, I would really like to share my experience with Ciara Pugh and Martha Holland in regards to my ongoing divorce and the tough times that my two girls and I are going through right now. It's difficult to put into words how much this team has helped me during this process, but I will try. Ciara and Martha have been "the light of hope" for me and subsequently my daughters in this tough period. Their professionalism and work ethic are second to none. Their empathy and compassion and patience are exemplary and way higher than what you could even hope for. This is greatly appreciated by someone like me, who is unfamiliar with legal proceedings and everything that goes with them. They are upfront and honest and have a level of integrity that is very important to me. It's obvious that my children's welfare and our finances matter a great deal to Ciara and Martha... and they are putting my two young girls best interests at the forefront of every decision they guide me through. I can not recommend the team that Stowe has put together for me/us. We are and will be forever thankful for their hard work, advice and everything they've done for us. We sincerely thank Ciara Pugh and Martha Holland and the team at Stowe Family Law from the bottom of our hearts for the excellent service they've given the girls and I and I give the maximum endorsement allowable for anyone who needs similar legal services.
