Thankyou for your professionalism and your support, helping me to remain calm and focussed at a very stressful time, and also helping me to find my way through from a legal perspective to ensure that my voice is heard, but not only this, that fairness and justice are pursued.

Expensive, inefficient and impersonal

I started out with a really good lawyer who seemed to understand me and my situation and she gave knowledgeable advice and seemed to want to help me get through the process as cheaply as possible eg. Where a phone call would be more appropriate and cheaper than a chain of emails.
As my case was simple and clear cut, I was transferred to another lawyer whose hourly rate was cheaper. It sounded good and sensible to me.
The new lawyer didn’t seem to understand me or my situation. She never spoke with me and only communicated by email. She asked me questions that I had already done through with the previous lawyer. I was charged every time. I had to repeat myself so many times going over things that had already been discussed and said. She proceeded to give me the same advice as the previous lawyer. Again, I was charged. She made mistakes in paperwork and correspondence for which I was being charged to point out and being charged to have the amended version sent to me. I had to chase a couple of times to find out what was going on with my case. I basically felt like I was being fleeced and started to worry about communicating with my lawyer due to the cost of doing so.
If I had done my divorce myself, it would have cost me £100’s, instead it cost me £1000’s. Whilst I was prepared for this, and appreciated someone taking the burden of the whole process for me, I felt that I could have saved at least £1000 if my lawyer had been more efficient and more accurate.
I expected my lawyer to be personable, supportive, efficient and looking out for my best interests, both legal and financial. I sadly didn’t get that!

Great experience!

In short words my experience with Stowe was great. I was automatically drawn to the team's professionalism which is very important to me, especially dealing with such sensitive matters. Zoe's advice was tailored to my situation and made sure I had the opportunity to voice my worries and concerns. I felt I was being heard and also taken seriously. Zoe worked closely with me and worked proactively to make sure things were done in the fastest and most efficient possible manner. I was skeptical about instructing a solicitor however Zoe and the team did not disappoint and had a great experience with them overall.

If you need commitment and seriousness in treating your complex family case I cannot recommend their services. I am extremely disappointed and frustrated for what I received.

It’s a relief to have found someone so keen to help me resolve my divorce and move on with my life. Amy Langford has made me feel confident, empowered and listened to, whilst also taking the time to lead me through the intricacies of the process, and I’ve never felt reticent about asking as many questions as I’ve needed to. This has naturally included highlighting the cons of actions just as much as the pros.

Amy’s proactive approach to contact and communication has really helped me get through this exceptionally difficult period, which I’m pleased to say is almost sorted out thanks to her guidance and prompt action. I couldn’t recommend Amy highly enough.

I contacted Stowe Family Law for help with a very complex situation and needed a strong solicitor to deal with my husband. Amy Langford has been excellent and was not worried about all the issues i needed to discuss. Amy reassured me that i no longer have to worry as she was there to help and be on my side. It became obvious that Amy was just the solicitor i needed to help and advise me.
A decision Amy made quickly was the best move, and without her quick thinking i would now be in a very different situation. Amy is calm and reassuring and I feel she really is doing what's best for me.
Everyone i have spoken with at Stowe including Reception and Accounts have been polite and helpful and will get back to you as promised. Thankyou Amy and Stowe Family Law
