Value for money
About this score
This rating is based on verified client feedback and compares how this firm’s value for money is perceived against the national average. In legal services, value for money is not about being the cheapest option, but about whether clients feel the service, expertise, and outcome justified the cost. This comparison helps place client experiences in context when choosing a law firm.

Satisfied with outcome
About this score
This rating is based on client feedback and compares how satisfied people were with the result of their legal matter against the national average for similar legal services. While every case is different and outcomes can depend on the law, the facts, and decisions made by courts or tribunals, this comparison is designed to be like for like.
When a firm has a large number of reviews, individual case differences tend to balance out over time. This makes the national average a useful benchmark for understanding how often clients feel the result achieved was fair and appropriate for their situation. Even small differences from the average can therefore reflect a meaningful difference in the overall standard of legal service provided.

Family Law
Outstanding Support and Genuine Care Throughout!!
I had the pleasure of working with Andrew Barton (Andy) at Stephens Scown Solicitors during my divorce, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From the very beginning, Andy was incredibly considerate, understanding, and genuinely a delight to deal with. What really stood out was how genuine and personable he is. He never came across as someone just there for a meeting or a call — he truly cared and took the time to support me through a very difficult period. He always made himself available whenever I needed to clarify anything or talk something through, and it never felt like it was just about the money. My divorce followed a long marriage, and Andy made sure I was fully supported throughout, always keeping my best interests at the forefront. Given that the other side was pushing for an outcome that would have left me with nothing, Andy handled everything with professionalism, determination, and care, ultimately achieving a fair 50–50 outcome. His team were also excellent — very knowledgeable, supportive, and able to handle everything smoothly in Andy’s absence, which gave me additional reassurance throughout the process. Despite the challenges and difficulties presented, the whole process felt smooth and well-managed, thanks to Andy’s expertise and calm approach. His guidance gave me confidence during a very stressful time. I’m truly grateful for his support and would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a compassionate and skilled divorce solicitor.

Excellent Professional Service from Andrew Barton
I was referred to Andrew Barton by someone. He responded quickly and facilitated an initial consultation via video call. Andrew was professional, patient and good listener. I received an excellent service. Thank you Andrew!

The best Solicitor firm in South West
I have dealt with Stephen Scown solicitors over the past 7-8 years on a number of issues and they have been by far the most knowledgeable and honest Solicitors with a 100% success rate in my case. They have dealt in my divorce proceedings and also in relation to a dispute with a builder whom I took to a tribunal and won. I would highly recommend them, they are more expensive, but if your main goal is an outcome favourable to you I wouldn’t recommend anyone else.

Sale conveyance and part transfer of Land Registry title
Becky did a great job on my house sale conveyance and transfer of a part title. She was very diligent and kept me in touch with progress at all times.
