Would definitely recommend

Excellent service, knowledgeable and honest.
Clear about costs and for me the best part was how responsive they were. Very quick responses to queries and promptly dealt with all issues.

I highly recommend Stowe

I rate Stowe Family Law highly. I particularly appreciate Ciara's professionalism, expertise, flexibility and support, which was always considered, balanced and compassionate. I feel Stowe played a role in the result that my divorce is amicable. I've already recommended Stowe to others, and would do again.

Amazing team

I was at the end of my tether. My husband and I had agreed to divorce amicably and organised it all ourselves but the finances I needed help with. Stowe solicitors agreed to help and were amazing from start to finish. Lauren Roche was amazing and talked me through all the options. She told me as it was, no sugar coating which I really appreciated. I cannot thank her and her team enough!

Make horrendous blunders then charge you to correct their errors

Awful, awful, awful….! After £40k they messed up with the D81 not putting a single word of motivation for my case which obviously had to be thrown out by the judge. Stowe’s response was that judges don’t like much reading! They are now charging me excessively to correct their error to now provide motivation to the judge with numerous pages of motivation when all that was needed was a few paragraphs. They have also sent me erroneous statements for signature which are completely untrue, one statement actually defending one of their errors. They do not follow instruction and keep sending bills saying they are trying to be cost effective. £40k down on legal bills and we are not even in court. My husband’s lawyer runs rings around them. I will be taking matters further with the Solicitors Regulation Authority. These people need to be stopped!

Excellent legal services

approached Stowe and was appointed Rebecca Finnigan as my solicitor in a matter related to the children. She have been attentive , communicative, and compassionate all through the proceedings. My case is very complex as it includes issues related to child abduction and many safeguarding issues . Rebecca provided excellent legal advice throught the case .

I would certainly recommend using them .

Review of Stowe Family Law LLP:

I recently had the unfortunate experience of working with Stowe Family Law LLP, and I must say that I was deeply disappointed with their services. From my personal encounter, it became evident that they prioritize their financial gain over providing quality representation.

One of the most concerning aspects of my experience was their tendency to drain clients' funds without delivering the necessary representation in court. They would consistently request money to be deposited into their account and then flood me with unnecessary letters, each requiring additional payments. It felt like they were intentionally prolonging the process to maximize their own profits.

To make matters worse, despite the substantial amount of money I had already paid, they failed to adequately represent me in court. Instead, they continued to send irrelevant letters, adding insult to injury. As a result, and said am owing them an additional £1900, which they aggressively demanded payment for, even threatening legal action and the seizure of my furniture.

Based on my experience, I strongly advise others to steer clear of Stowe Family Law LLP. Their actions and behavior suggest a lack of professionalism and integrity. It is clear that their primary focus is on financial gain rather than providing genuine support and representation to their clients. I regret ever placing my trust in this firm and strongly urge others to avoid them at all costs.

Please be cautious and conduct thorough research when seeking legal representation, as it is vital to find a solicitor who genuinely cares about your best interests and will provide the services they promise.

Mr Sims client of Pooja Patel

I had the privilege of being represented by Pooja Patel after my divorce specifically concerning my financial assets. Pooja has been my dedicated and empathetic family lawyer. Even when she transitioned from her previous firm to Stowe, I chose to continue working with her. Her commitment to securing the best possible outcome is unwavering, and her meticulous attention to detail truly sets her apart. I wholeheartedly recommend Pooja Patel to anyone seeking legal assistance in family matters.

When I was first in my situation I felt like I had no hope! I had met a friend who was in a similar situation to me and he passed on the details of Stowe family law. When I made the initial phone call I didn’t really know what to expect or if they would be able to help. After my first initial call I was passed onto Cath to take on my case. Very quickly into our opening conversation I knew that she would be perfect to take on my case. I went through the hardest time in my life but Cath was always there to reassure me and keep things going in the right direction. Every bump in the road was quickly smoothed out. Not at any point in the duration of my case was I concerned about my representation, quite the opposite I knew I had the best. Unfortunately due to a corona era things where a lot slower then I had hoped but we carried on pushing and got the result. I can safely say there is absolutely no way I would of got the result I did without Cath. I am now reconnected with the most precious thing in my life, my son! I could not be more thankful.

Dealing with a divorce it’s incredibly sad time, but also I love the stress it’s down to all the necessary information that is needed . What I needed was a professional lawyer that on one hand was very understanding with the stress and upset, but more importantly a professional that was organised incredibly dedicated but also firm with insuring you are making the right decisions for yourself moving forward .

I’m dealing with Cath Porter at Stowe Family Law, I simply could not recommend Cath highly enough, and while my case is still not finalised I know that I’m in absolutely the best hands and also thank the team .

Cath Porter Will meet every professional Integral part you will need in this field .

I’ve chosen Stowe Family for my divorce case, from beginning until the end they’ve been responsive. I was appointed a lawyer, who was extremely supportive and professional. From the very first call Cath was a good listener, extremely friendly, and approachable as if I knew her for a long time! there was no communication barrier, and I was assured she’ll do her outmost to represent me in the case. She’s very experienced and her advise was extremely valuable during the process which helped me to get a result I wanted. I highly recommend Stowe Family lawyers as I’ve been left with the best customer service experience! thank you again!

I've been taking advice and dealing with Stowe Family for a little over 6 months now and to sum them up they're nothing short of amazing. From the get go they were passionate, understanding and very clear when dealing with my case and they've kept their high standard from the beginning right through to the very end of my case.

When I first contacted Stowe Family I spoke to a very lovely receptionist who recommended my solicitor, Cath Porter, and what a recommendation she was! Cath is like an angel sent down from the heavens, she is the most wonderful, nerve calming, professional person I've ever met. Every step we took in my case was precise and well thought out, her choice of barrister was brilliant (a big thank you to him as well) and her overall mannerisms helped me through my toughest times immensely.

I am thankful to say my case is now closed, but if I ever needed advice again in the future I wouldn't for a moment hesitate to get in contact with Cath Porter and Stowe Family Law. I am eternally grateful for the work they have done for me and my family.
