Child Law

Non-transparent, without integrity, and unrepentant.

I had an abysmal unsupportive and really expensive experience with these solicitors, culminating with them deliberately failing to alert me to an upcoming hearing, and claiming that the courthouse had told them I had dismissed them - a process that is impossible; so - a legal firm that isn’t honest - they left me to burn when I was seeking safety for my son, in the most disloyal show of bad behaviour. By coincidence I had already put in pages multiple complaints about their behaviour and not a single one of the complaints was given any weight by them whatsoever so my advice is to avoid this group at all costs- they are an appalling group of solicitors. When I complained to the ombudsman, I was told that no action would be taken against them as “not enough complaints have been before”. So don’t expect help from the ombudsman who is clearly not impartial. I chose Horsham Family Law and I believe if I had use them instead of Stowe Family Law, I would’ve had a much better service all through, than I ever got from Stowe. Needless to say, as the icing on the cake, when Horsham Family Law requested the case file, from Stowe, they refused to give us almost any of it. Makes you wonder why doesn’t it? Maybe the rest of their tactics were as bad as the very badly written Lawyers brief they provided my barrister in court I did manage to get evidence of from them. Avoid at all costs, employee at your cost.

High quality legal counsel

Liz Hughes has been our solicitor for the past several months as she helps guide us through a very difficult time for one of my daughters. I find Liz to be extremely thorough and educational in her responses to any and all of our questions while being kind and sensitive to the difficult circumstances that my daughter and granddaughter are going through. Liz does a great job crafting our responses to questions/issues from the other parties legal team who we are dealing with in this situation. The case she is handling for our family is very complex to include dealing with some international issues/law and she is really good at consulting with others if the concerns are in anyway outside of her expertise. I appreciate that Liz has been very forthcoming and honest with us regarding this case while also being sensitive to the tough circumstances my daughter and granddaughter our facing during this time while all of their immediate family is in the United States. I feel that we are receiving excellent guidance and legal counsel with Liz in charge of our case. Also, due to the complexity of my daughter's situation, Liz has been working closely with Kate Anderson on this case from the very beginning. Kate also provides excellent legal advice/counsel while also ensuring my daughter is treated as a person, first and foremost. I am extremely thankful and grateful for the help these two professionals continue to provide my family.

Your review beautifully highlights the difference a dedicated team can make when a family is facing particularly complex and emotional circumstances. We're incredibly grateful to hear how Liz and Kate have supported not only your daughter, but your wider family throughout this journey. Managing a case involving international elements requires careful judgement and collaboration, and it's wonderful to know that Liz's thorough approach, honesty and willingness to seek specialist input where needed gave you confidence that every aspect of the matter was being handled with care. We're equally pleased that Kate's support helped ensure your daughter always felt treated with compassion and respect throughout the process. Thank you for your heartfelt words and for recognising the commitment both Liz and Kate have shown to your family. We will be sure to share your wonderful feedback with them.

Exceptional Legal Representation with Genuine Compassion

Without question, choosing Liz and the team at Stowe was one of the best decisions I made during an incredibly difficult time. Liz has been knowledgeable, professional, and incredibly supportive throughout what has been a very difficult family matter. She provides clear, practical advice, takes the time to explain every step of the process, and has always made me feel heard and respected. Her calm, thoughtful, but strong approach has given me confidence during an otherwise overwhelming time. What has impressed me most is her ability to balance compassion with exceptional legal judgment. She has consistently helped me focus on what is in the best interests of my child, guided me through difficult decisions with honesty and clarity, and ensured I was well prepared at every stage. I have always felt that she genuinely cared—not just about the legal outcome, but about helping my child and me move forward with confidence. I’m truly grateful for Liz’s dedication and for the support I’ve received from Stowe. If you’re looking for a solicitor who is compassionate, honest, and highly capable, I would wholeheartedly recommend Liz and the team at Stowe.

Yvonne was so empathetic and helpful throughout the process. As a victim of domestic abuse it felt so reassuring to have a solicitor who was so understanding and knowledgeable. I wish I had her from the very beginning of all my court proceedings, but she still helped me to achieve a positive outcome in the relevant children proceedings. I will definitely be back in touch with Yvonne if I ever need her help in the future.

I am working with Ashley-Le-Core on a difficult childrens case. He has taken my many inane ramblings and worries, and helped navigate them into an actionable plan. The amount of top quality work he's produced, over such a short timeframe, to get me a great outcome so rapidly, has really helped remove a layer of stress that I didnt need at this time. Still a battle to go, however, I am confident that he will help us navigate the court process with clear and valuble instruction.

Sophie Ballinger is incredible, I honestly cannot recommend her enough! She is such a lovely person and it’s very obvious that she genuinely cares about the child in whatever situation you’re in. She’s understanding, caring, honest, supportive, great recommendations (barristers, etc) and incredibly knowledgable. I feel very fortunate to have had Sophie with me through this very difficult time and appreciate all the time and effort she put into our case. The firm has been very professional and always able to help whenever I’ve needed it. I highly recommend, particularly after my experience with Sophie.

Hi Lydia, Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a heartfelt review. We’re delighted to hear about your experience with Sophie and the support she provided during such a difficult time. Sophie’s genuine care, knowledge, and commitment to achieving the best outcomes for children are qualities we value greatly, and your feedback truly reflects the dedication she brings to her work.

I cannot thank Rebecca Sutton enough for the support and guidance she has given me throughout my child and financial proceedings. My case has been complicated and emotionally difficult, yet she handled every stage with calm professionalism and genuine care. She kept me informed, explained everything in a way I could understand, and helped me feel protected during moments when I felt completely overwhelmed. Her communication was always clear and prompt, and she made sure I knew my options before any decision was made. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone who needs a solicitor who is skilled, steady under pressure, and genuinely committed to achieving the best outcome for their client.

Informative Initial Guidance & Honest Upfront Pricing

I contacted Stowe Family Law for preliminary advice and was very impressed with their professionalism. Their team provided clear, informative initial guidance and was completely transparent about their fee structure right from the start. Although I ultimately decided to take a different direction with my plans and didn't formally instruct them, I really appreciated how helpful, courteous, and upfront they were throughout our initial discussions. Highly professional firm!

Working as a Joint Expert

In my field, it is important that the solicitors understand the situation and consider what they need rather than just sending a standard letter found online. Likewise, it is important that they consider correspondence carefully when further information is requested. Communication about timescales always vital. These are three key features and in my experience Stowe do this thus ensuring the best service for their clients.

We rang several law firms beforehand who were frustratingly unable to assist. However, Stowe Law listened to our concerns carefully, with empathy and respect. In our subsequent strategy meeting which took place straightaway, Judit Kerese, promptly evaluated our situation and gave highly effective guidance, which was actioned promptly. We are very grateful to everyone at Stowe Family Law, for their warmth, professionalism and guidance in helping resolve our difficulties.

As my divorce became increasingly complicated, I was introduced to Pooja Patel and Shivi Rajput. From the moment I had my initial meeting with Pooja, I knew I was in the best possible hands. Throughout my divorce journey, they provided not only exceptional legal expertise but also genuine compassion, reassurance, and unwavering support. Pooja and Shivi consistently demonstrated the highest level of professionalism while always taking the time to understand my circumstances, concerns, and desired outcomes. They never made me feel like just another client. Every conversation was handled with empathy, patience, and respect, ensuring I always felt listened to, supported, and reassured throughout the process. Their knowledge and expertise in family law are exceptional. They explained every stage of the proceedings clearly and in a way that was easy to understand, allowing me to make informed decisions with confidence. Their advice was always honest, balanced, and practical, and I truly valued their ability to manage my expectations while always working tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome. What I appreciated most was their calm and reassuring approach. During the moments when I felt anxious, overwhelmed, or uncertain, they remained composed, approachable, and focused on finding the best way forward. Knowing I had a team I could trust implicitly made one of the most difficult chapters of my life far easier to navigate. Pooja and Shivi are not only exceptional solicitors but genuinely caring people who are deeply committed to achieving the very best outcomes for their clients. Their dedication, integrity, professionalism, and kindness have made a lasting impact on me, and I will always be grateful for the support, guidance, and encouragement they provided throughout my divorce. I cannot recommend Pooja, Shivi, and the entire team highly enough.

I’ve been working with Ciara Pugh and Anu Kaur of Stowe Family Law for several months now, and I’ve been consistently impressed by their exceptional professionalism, deep expertise, and impeccable client service. The case has been complex, with significant difficulties across various aspects, yet Anu and Ciara have navigated what has felt like a minefield with unmatched skill — always guided by an approach that best serves both their client and justice overall. At times, things became genuinely difficult, upsetting, and frustrating, but they handled those moments with real care, providing certainty and insight when it mattered most. I can’t thank them enough. Highly recommend!
