She made my court case very manageable, understood my goals and concerns and supported my decisions throughout and in doing so, I am now able to have a more shared-care arrangement with my daughter. I could not have asked for much more from Kamila.

On my first meeting with Phoebe, I was nervous as it's my first time. My husband was bombarding me with demands that needed 'immediate' attention and I was overwhelmed and upset and couldn't think straight. Phoebe immediately reassured me that I was going to be ok from a legal standpoint. She listened with empathy and then talked through in an easily understandable way what we were going to do (no pressure to sign), how we would do it and what the process looks like. I felt that I was talking to someone very experienced and professional but someone who also cared about me leaving my marriage in a fair and reasonable way. That I have someone on my side who does know what their doing and is going to look after everything for me. Thank you so much Phoebe!

All staff were exceptional and everything was quick and very easy. Ciara restired my faith in solicitors. I only wish more had her professionalism and the client at the heart. She gave me all the options and allowed me to make my own decisions with no pressure based on her advice. I can't recomend her enough.

I turned to Stowe Family Law for some much needed professional advice, enquiring about my rights when entering in a divorce. There is only so much you can glean from an internet search and like many problems there is a certain uniqueness to your own disputes. After providing a detailed account of my situation, Liz talked me through all the feasible options that I could face. I was also offered signposts to other potential help and a promise to reconnect after a short period of time. I would definitely recommend contacting Stowe Family Law for a thorough initial advice meeting.

Alexandra was very knowledgeable and offered very informative, honest and supportive guidance throughout the process. I was kept informed throughout with constant updates. Any queries were met with prompt replies. Everything was explained clearly in an easy to understand manner. I always felt like Alexandra was looking out for my best interests and was also realistic and honest, keeping expectations in check where required. I honestly could not recommend Alexandra enough, absolutely fantastic service.

I cannot recommend Zoe highly enough. Zoe represented me in a very stressful child arrangements matter, and throughout the entire process, she consistently put the best interests of my son at the heart of everything she did. From the very beginning, Zoe was respectful, professional, honest and incredibly practical. Her advice was always clear, considered and reassuring, and I felt completely supported and informed at every stage. She handled what was an extremely difficult and emotional situation with such dedication, professionalism and compassion. Not only did we achieve an extremely successful outcome in court, but additional protection was also put in place for my son, which means so much to me. I would wholeheartedly recommend Zoe to anyone finding themselves in a similar situation and looking for a solicitor who is professional, trustworthy, supportive and genuinely committed to achieving the best possible outcome. I didn’t just trust Zoe with my case — I trusted her with my four-year-old son’s future. That, to me, speaks volumes about the level of trust and confidence I had in her. I will always be incredibly grateful for the way Zoe supported and represented us throughout such an important and difficult time. Thank you Zoe & those at Stowe Family Law

I cannot recommend Zoe Cross at Stowe Family Law, Leeds, highly enough. Going through a divorce has been one of the most challenging experiences of my life, and having Zoe’s support throughout made an immeasurable difference. Zoe combines exceptional professionalism and legal expertise with genuine compassion, empathy and integrity. Zoe has consistently demonstrated patience, sound judgement and an understanding of the emotional complexities that accompanied my case and for that I am immensely grateful. What sets Zoe apart is her ability to make you feel genuinely heard, respected and supported, even when navigating particularly difficult decisions. Her clear communication, thoughtful advice and reassuring approach gave me confidence during a period of considerable, unrelenting uncertainty. Zoe is an outstanding solicitor and a tremendous credit to Stowe Family Law. Her professionalism, emotional intelligence and genuine commitment to her clients deserve the highest recognition. I am incredibly grateful for everything Zoe has done and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone requiring family law support.

I have recently had an initial strategy review with Emily Davies in relation to a pending divorce. The aim was to give me an overview of the divorce procedure and for me to seek some understanding concerning the particulars of my case. I found Emily easy to discuss with; she provided due clarity as to what to expect, provided some initial thoughts as to how best I might approach certain matters and described how she might continue to support me either as I require or by steering most of the case. I found the session worthwhile and instructive and will now consider the options as to how the case will be taken forward.

Aimee Mckay represents me in a very acrimonious divorce case/family court matters. Just got my boys back for me after 7 long months, her and Abigail Rowley my barrister rolled out the guns and got the win last week. Truly heartbreaking over the last year, they've supported me in and outside the case, and puts up with me tormenting her remarkably well!! She's a genuine, sweet kind young lady, but does have a bite! I would never go anywhere else, not that I intend to get married again, when all this is over, I'll never forget what she's done for me. She will go all the way to the top, if Karma exists!!

Really Knowledgeable and highly professional
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Exceptional Solicitor Who Truly Cares – Yvonne Taiwo I cannot recommend Yvonne Taiwo highly enough. From the very beginning of this incredibly difficult and emotional journey, Yvonne has been nothing short of fantastic. Although my case is still ongoing, there have already been moments when her support, kindness and professionalism have made a profound difference to me, both as a parent and as a person. Going through family proceedings is one of the most emotionally challenging experiences anyone can face, especially when you are a parent trying to hold yourself together, protect your child, and find the strength to keep believing that justice will prevail. There are moments when the process feels overwhelming, when your confidence is shaken, and when it becomes difficult to trust that you will be heard and understood. During those moments, having Yvonne by my side has meant more than words can adequately express. What makes Yvonne truly exceptional is that she understands there is a human being behind every case file. She has demonstrated genuine compassion, patience, fairness and understanding, while always maintaining the professionalism and dedication you would hope for in a solicitor. She knows when to provide clear, considered advice and when to offer reassurance and help you find your strength again. She has supported me through moments when I have struggled to hold everything together, helping me rebuild my confidence and, little by little, restore my belief in the process and the justice system. Her ability to balance professional expertise with genuine human kindness is something truly special. She has never made me feel that my concerns or emotions are insignificant. Instead, she has shown that it is possible to be a strong, capable legal professional while also being a compassionate person who recognises the vulnerability of a parent going through one of the hardest periods of their life. I believe that the true measure of a solicitor is not only their legal knowledge or professional ability, but also the difference they make to the person trusting them with something so precious. Yvonne has reminded me that there are professionals who approach their work with genuine passion, integrity and heart. Her commitment has helped me find strength on difficult days, hold on to hope when things have felt uncertain, and continue forward with greater confidence. For a parent who is emotionally exhausted and trying to navigate a process that can feel incredibly daunting, that kind of support is invaluable. Sometimes, the smallest words of reassurance or simply feeling that someone genuinely understands can make the difference between feeling completely alone and finding the courage to carry on. Yvonne has given me that reassurance when I have needed it most. She has shown me kindness when I have felt vulnerable, fairness when I have needed to feel heard, and compassion when the emotional weight of everything has felt almost too much to bear. My case is not yet finished, and I know there is still a journey ahead. However, I felt it was important to recognise the difference Yvonne has already made. Her support has helped me regain something I believe every parent going through such a difficult process deserves to have: the confidence to speak up, the strength to keep going, and the hope that justice can be achieved. Thank you, Yvonne, for being more than just a solicitor during such a difficult chapter of my life. Thank you for your kindness, your patience, your understanding, and for helping me find my confidence again when I have needed it most. Thank you for reminding me that, even in the most challenging circumstances, there are people who genuinely care about the work they do and the lives they touch along the way. Five stars simply do not feel enough for the support and compassion you have shown me.
