Excellent service with Vicki

Working with Vicki R has been such a lovely experience during this stressful time. She has a warm and comforting demeanour, and our communication has been very easy. She has answered all my questions and provided invaluable guidance, and I now feel completely prepared me for my upcoming hearings. I’ve felt comfortable and listened to throughout the process. Thank you very much Vicki.

Shanika went above a beyond to help my family

Shanika provided us with everything we needed for our upcoming hearing. Even though Shanika was unable to represent me in the high court due to us needing a barrister, she went above and beyond to find us a barrister which was within our price range and in such a short notice period of 24 hours. She contacted me with any updates and was always there to answer any of our questions. Shanika has definitely put our faith back into humanity and I will be forever grateful to her for her support and kindness throughout this difficult time.

A representative from Stowe Family Law LLP responded to this review

Thank you for such heartfelt feedback about Shanika. We know how stressful and overwhelming it can be when court hearings arise unexpectedly, especially with such limited time to prepare, so it’s wonderful to hear how supported you felt throughout. Although Shanika was unable to represent you directly at the High Court hearing, it’s clear she remained fully committed to helping you find the right support and ensuring everything was in place for you at very short notice. Her dedication, communication and willingness to go the extra mile are qualities we are incredibly proud of. Your comments about restoring your faith in humanity are truly touching, and we will make sure Shanika sees your kind words. Thank you again for placing your trust in us during such a difficult time. Best Wishes Stowe Family Law

Very poor interaction

Very poor interaction. Client care team that addresses new client enquiries wasted a lot of time, confirmed availability of a solicitor on a short notice for a court hearing, wasted 2 days of no response (despite multiple emails and calls), only to come back to withdraw noting the solicitor isn’t available for an unconvincing explanation. Very poor service but grateful I discovered this from the outset, better that than to have assigned them as representative for an important case

A representative from Stowe Family Law LLP responded to this review

Thank you for your comments. We’ve asked for a little more information so we can look into this and help resolve the matter. Kind Regards Stowe Family Law

Amy and Becka are brilliant

I am a local barrister and receive instructions from Stowe. Amy and Becka are strong instructing solicitors and handle their client’s cases with attention to detail, a proactive approach and a high level of client service. As counsel, I always have instructions and papers in a timely manner and they are always at the end of the phone if required. I would highly recommend them

I cannot recommend Zoe Carter enough: she has all the skills of an exceptional solicitor. She always goes over and above on every case she instructs me on. Her written court documents are prepared to the highest standard. She is robust, sensible with an incredible eye for detail and clients always arrive at Court having been well prepared and advised exceptionally well. She has the hallmarks of a first rate solicitor well beyond her level of experience. She is a genuine pleasure to work with and clients always tell me how impressed they are with her.

I have used Maria Coster over the last couple of years. I moved to Maria from another firm as I was left in the dark with things. From the first day I met Maria, we sat down and went over everything. She was extremely thorough and professional and exceeded expectations. Things were always explained clearly. My cases were always dealt with efficiently in a timely manner.

After finding myself in a difficult situation with my ex partner Jason Stanley from the Altrincham office was recommended to me by a friend. I really cannot fault Jason in the way he handled my case. What could have potentially dragged on for months with letters going back and forth, Jason's 'no messing' approach quickly brought the dispute to an end and with the result I wanted. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

A representative from Stowe Family Law LLP responded to this review

Hi Stephen, thank you so much for the kind sentiments. I'm quite fond of the 'no messing' review! I'm just glad that we were able to assist you in what was a difficult time. I wish you all the best for the future. Warm regards, Jason and the Stowe Family Law Altrincham team.

A stead rock through difficult times

Charlotte has been an absolute rock during this difficult time. She is professional, knowledgable and focused and always makes time to discuss anything when I need support. She has been very reactive when required and takes time to listen and understand the situation. She is highly communicative and shares her thoughts and strategy ensuring I fully understand the process and what is coming. I would highly recommend Charlotte and Stowe Family Law.

Combined with her responsiveness and willingness to make time when you need support, it is easy to see why you describe her as an “absolute rock”. Thank you for such a strong recommendation. We will make sure Charlotte sees your wonderful feedback. Best Wishes Stowe Family Law

Review of Kate Bouwmeeter

Kate Bouwmeester is an excellent solicitor whose professionalism, judgement and humanity made a profound difference during one of the most difficult periods of my life. Having been represented by Kate for almost exactly two years, I have a strong insight into her abilities and character. She strikes the right balance between professionalism and humanity — qualities that might seem essential in her field, but which my experience showed should never be taken for granted. During the emotional toll of a particularly drawn-out divorce, I found Kate’s advice sound, consistent and always aimed at reducing conflict where possible. Her support was essential in helping me through a process I found brutal. Even in the darkest moments, I felt firmly supported, while she remained thoughtful, measured and professionally grounded throughout. On strategy, I consistently deferred to Kate’s judgement. Her advice was not always what I wanted to hear, but I came to trust that it was the right advice. When I felt the urge to be drawn into tit-for-tat legal conflict, her calm and measured approach helped keep matters focused and proportionate. Despite Kate’s considerable efforts to avoid it, my divorce ultimately proceeded to a Final Hearing. Throughout the case, I was kept very well informed, and Kate and the team at Stowe worked tirelessly on my behalf. With hindsight, I appreciate the pressure created by the conduct of the litigation and the repeated late production of documents. It is to Kate’s credit, and to the credit of the wider Stowe team, that we navigated those difficulties as well as we did. The barristers Kate selected were also well chosen and reflected positively on her judgement. For me, success in a divorce meant emerging with the best outcome possible in extremely difficult circumstances. I may reflect on some of the choices I made during the process, but choosing Kate was never one of them. She was my legal guide throughout: highly professional, clear-headed and deeply humane. At a very difficult point in my life, she supported me with empathy as well as legal skill, and I will always be grateful for that. I have no hesitation in recommending Kate Bouwmeester and the wider team at Stowe Family Law.

A representative from Stowe Family Law LLP responded to this review

Two years of working together through an exceptionally difficult divorce builds a level of trust that cannot be captured by legal outcomes alone. Your words about Kate as your “legal guide” say so much about the role she played. Her judgement helped keep matters measured and proportionate when emotions were understandably high, and the fact that you trusted her advice even when it was not necessarily what you wanted to hear is a powerful reflection of the confidence she earned. We are especially touched by your recognition of Kate’s humanity alongside her legal skill. To have felt firmly supported through the darkest moments, while knowing your case was being handled with clear judgement and professionalism, is an exceptional endorsement. Thank you for sharing such a considered and personal reflection. We will make sure Kate and the wider team know just how much their support meant to you. Best Wishes Stowe Family Law
