Fantastic communication and support.

Kamila Cyran is very professional yet friendly, informative and helpful. 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.

Review of solicitor

I have been supported by Becca, through one of the most difficult times in my life. She has been a life-saver and really helped me to feel confident in understanding my rights fully. She listened and understood my situation and handled things professionally but with respect and compassion. I trusted her advice and felt supported to make some very difficult decisions. Prior to her help I had felt very scared, overwhelmed and alone, I couldn't see light at the end of a very dark tunnel. I got the outcome that was right for me and my family in the end and I am so thankful to Becca for making this happen.

Reading your review means a great deal to us. What you’ve described is exactly why compassionate, thoughtful legal support matters so much during family proceedings. It’s clear how much trust you placed in Becca during such an overwhelming and emotional period in your life, and we’re incredibly proud to hear how supported, understood and empowered you felt throughout. Helping someone move from feeling frightened and isolated to feeling confident enough to make difficult decisions is not something we ever take lightly. Most importantly, we’re so pleased that you achieved the outcome that felt right for both you and your family. Your words about Becca’s professionalism, empathy and guidance will mean so much to her. Thank you again for sharing your experience with such honesty. Best Wishes Stowe Family Law

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.

We’re particularly grateful for your recognition of the professionalism, transparency and attention to detail demonstrated throughout.

Exceptional Legal Expertise and Outstanding Service I had an excellent experience working with Pooja. Her insight and attention to detail were truly outstanding throughout the process of drafting my consent order. She demonstrated a deep understanding of the legal requirements and identified several important elements that had initially been overlooked, ensuring everything was thorough and accurate. What really stood out was her commitment to going above and beyond what I expected. She took the time to explain key points clearly, provided thoughtful guidance, and approached the work with a level of care and professionalism that gave me complete confidence. I would highly recommend Pooja to anyone seeking a solicitor who is not only knowledgeable, but also genuinely dedicated to delivering exceptional service.

I had a really positive experience working with Pooja Patel and Rosanna Hounslow during what is, by nature, a very daunting process. From the outset, they were incredibly responsive and generous with their time, offering clear, upfront advice without trying to charge for every interaction. That early guidance made a huge difference in helping me understand the process and feel more in control at a point where it’s easy to feel uncertain about which direction to take. What stood out most was how they worked with me. I’m quite detail-oriented and particular in how I approach things, and they took the time to listen and adapt to my style rather than dominate discussions. They were thoughtful and honest in their advice, clear on what I should and shouldn’t do, while still giving me space to challenge and explore different angles without it ever feeling uncomfortable. As a senior executive, I genuinely felt like I was collaborating with colleagues on a shared project, which made the whole experience far more manageable and constructive than I had expected. They understood my goals, and as a result we were able to agree the consent order without needing to go to court, which was something I was keen to avoid. Importantly, they never pushed me towards taking unnecessarily aggressive positions, even where it may have been possible to do so. That approach helped avoid unnecessary conflict, prolonged disputes, and additional costs. They consistently acted with integrity and genuine client interest in mind, rather than pursuing actions that might generate further fees. There were also several instances where they actively advised against certain steps to save costs, which I greatly appreciated. Overall, they clearly prioritise helping their clients navigate the process as smoothly and constructively as possible.

Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed reflection on your experience. We’re really pleased to hear how supported you felt by Pooja and Rosanna from the very beginning, particularly during what can be an uncertain and challenging process. It’s great to know their open, collaborative approach worked well for you, and that you felt listened to and able to engage in a way that suited your style. Building that kind of working relationship is something we value highly, so your feedback really means a lot. We’re also glad they were able to help you reach an agreement without the need for court, while keeping your goals, costs and overall outcome firmly in focus. Thank you again for your thoughtful comments. Best Wishes Stowe Family Law

From the very first interaction, Pooja Patel and Rosanna Hounslow demonstrated an exceptional level of dedication and expertise that proved absolutely invaluable throughout what was an incredibly challenging process. I am delighted to say that we achieved a 100% positive outcome, and I have no doubt that this result would not have been possible without their outstanding efforts. The case was made significantly more difficult by the level of conflict involved, yet throughout every stage Pooja remained a pillar of strength, consistently compassionate, deeply knowledgeable, and legally astute. Her calm, grounded approach was nothing short of instrumental in securing the arrangements I sought. I was equally fortunate to have had Victoria Ellis as my barrister, whose depth of experience in family law, sharp legal insight, and thoughtful input provided clarity and genuine reassurance at every turn. Together, they made one of the most emotionally challenging experiences of my life feel far more manageable, and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

I reached out to Stowe family solicitors to start the process access to my children, having been through very difficult circumstances for the previous couple of years where my mental health had been affected. I was presented to Kate Mcarty who outlined the plan moving forward and more importantly the empathy shown towards my situation and past life experiences was outstanding. Now I have faith and hope after my initial meetings with Kate. I feel safe and confident.

20/03/2026

It’s incredibly powerful to read this – thank you for sharing your experience. We’re so pleased that Kate was able to provide not just clear guidance, but the empathy and understanding that truly matters in situations like yours. Feeling safe, heard and supported is so important, and it’s wonderful to know you’re now moving forward with renewed faith and confidence. Wishing you all the very best as things progress.

Exceptional strategic representation during an emergency

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 recommend Gemma from Stowe Family Law highly enough. When I first instructed the firm, I had carefully chosen my solicitor and was extremely happy with the support I was receiving. When she left the company and I was informed that Gemma would be taking over my case, I was understandably upset and concerned. I had built a strong rapport with my original solicitor and was worried that changing representation part way through such an important and emotional process could negatively affect my case. However, from my very first meeting with Gemma, all of those concerns disappeared. She immediately put me at ease with her warm, personable and professional approach. Throughout my case, I always felt that she genuinely cared about achieving the best possible outcome for me and that she was firmly in my corner every step of the way. My case presented a number of challenges, and there were times when the process felt overwhelming. Gemma's guidance, expertise and reassurance were invaluable. She navigated every obstacle with confidence and helped me understand my options at each stage, making a difficult situation far more manageable. Most importantly, I always felt supported and listened to. Gemma combined professionalism with genuine empathy, and I never doubted her commitment to my case. Thanks to her hard work, dedication and strategic advice, we achieved an excellent result. I am incredibly grateful for everything Gemma did for me and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a solicitor who is knowledgeable, approachable and truly invested in her clients.

Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful review of your experience with Gemma. We understand how unsettling it can be when a solicitor changes part way through an ongoing matter, particularly when you have already built a strong relationship and trust with the person handling your case. What’s especially lovely to hear is how quickly Gemma was able to put those concerns to rest and earn your confidence. Taking over a case is never simply about understanding the legal file; it’s about understanding the person behind it, their worries, priorities and hopes for the future. We’re delighted that Gemma was able to provide that continuity of support while also helping you navigate the challenges that arose along the way. Your comments about feeling listened to, reassured and genuinely cared for will mean a great deal to Gemma. Achieving a positive outcome is always important, but knowing that a client felt supported and empowered throughout the journey is equally rewarding. Thank you again for your trust and recommendation. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Gemma. Best Wishes Stowe Family Law

My legal matter was handed over to Gemma Thew at a critical point in the process. Gemma made herself fully aware of the issues I faced both legally and emotionally before contacting me and was able to quickly bring issues to a close. Her supportive approach and understanding of my personal issues and needs linked to my legal matter was very refreshing and constructive. I would like therefore to put on record my sincere thanks to Gemma Thew for her quick and timely response to emails, for picking up the phone, listening, and talking to me and providing well considered answers and proposals to my questions and comments. Her empathy and approach have been a major help during a difficult time. I highly recommend Gemma both from a legal and, more importantly, interpersonal point of view. I hope that Gemma will be able to continue to support me in the final months of my legal issues. Tim
