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.

Fantastic firm, very highly recommended

I had a complex family court case and Stowe were completely amazing from start to finish. My lawyer Holly Lamb was the best person anyone could wish to have at their side during the difficult and challenging process of child matters in court. Holly has outstanding knowledge of family law, she is compassionate, empathetic and very tenacious. She was highly responsive, and I was always kept informed of exactly what was going on throughout. Her advice was always clear, concise and honest. and I always felt that she had the best interests of my children and I at heart. First-class service all round. I would recommend Holly Lamb and Stowe to anyone looking for a top-quality family law firm.

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.

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.

Excellent at guiding at my worst

Divorce - especially when it comes to finances and children - is one of the hardest things to get through. The care and support of having good quality solicitors cannot be understated. Ellie, and Olivia before her, was excellent throughout, keeping me grounded on what was possible while also protecting me from the emotional and confrontational side. I do not believe my outcome would have been as good or as final without her support. Solicitors are expensive, and the much-referenced difficulty deciphering Stowe invoices is true, but I see them as an investment. An investment to claim my former life back, with the protection of knowing that my and my children's interests have been backed. I am truly thankful that within a short time frame, now my consent order has been sealed, I should be able to move on to a post-married life. And I have Ellie and the Stowe team to thank for that.

Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. We know that navigating divorce, particularly when finances and children are involved, can be one of life's most challenging experiences, so it's wonderful to hear that Ellie and, before her, Olivia provided the support and guidance you needed throughout. What stands out most is your recognition of the balance Ellie achieved between setting realistic expectations, protecting your interests and helping you through the emotional side of the process. Knowing that you feel her support played such an important part in achieving a positive outcome means a great deal to us. We're delighted that your consent order has now been sealed and that you can look ahead to the next chapter with confidence. Thank you for placing your trust in Stowe Family Law.
