Compassionate specialists

I contacted Stowe to deal with a family matter that was difficult and emotional. From the initial call I found their approach to be sensitive, compassionate and well informed. I was confident I had picked the right firm to deal with this matter. Gemma was prompt and very knowledgeable, I was grateful for her assistance. Their expertise in family law is evident.

Excellent Representation / Genuine care /timely progress made

I have tried various legal firms in the past years to get me through a divorce process whereby the other party has simply been non compliant. I found myself in a situation where by I was stuck and had lost hope. Finding the Stowe Family Law group has been the best thing for me. Melanie Quinn, my allocated Solicitor has not only been an excellent legal advocate but also has shown me genuine compassion and care about my situation and has simply gone the extra mile for me all of the time and shown such due diligence in all that she does in regards to my situation to ensure that I get the best outcome. With her knowledge and expertise, and excellent contacts she and her firm have been so far the only ones who have made such excellent progress in my divorce case and i can now begin to envisage what the end looks like for me and i must say for the first time in many years, I now have hope and I am looking forward to my new future thanks to Stowe Family law.

Highly professional, caring and instructive

Divorce is a very difficult time. Reshma made me feel that she had carefully listened to my situation and together we were able to pick out the relevant issues, discuss them in a professional and caring manner and reach conclusions that were extremely helpful in trying to reach agreement with the other party.

Very effective, honest, supportive and reliable

It has been a long and difficult journey to date and Ms. Farndale has been examplary all the way through (and continues to be).

Her attention to detail is second to none and her knowledge of the law and problem solving throughout the whole process has been very impressive. The team that work with her have also been an enormous support. I would definitely recommend.

Deep knowledge and agile in the conversation

I had a one hour meeting to discuss a personal (legal!) matter. The solicitor was agile in considering my particular circumstances, thoughtful and extremely helpful in establishing a responsive way forward. I was helped enornously by this meeting and this is assisting a calm and collaborative outcome.

Horrible money grabbing firm

Do NOT use them, they pick on people on the lowest point to put incur charges on people.
Phoebe Turner billed me for work that i hadn't yet instructed her to do and then hounded by stowe family law when they knew It was a period where I had a lot on my mind and to deal with and taking advantage of me in a vulnerable state

Poisonous firm

Support when you need it most

I felt that from the first conversation I was supported and had clarity on what to expect as I journeyed through the divorce process.
I had support via phone and email with very prompt responses. My solicitor Joanna Dale was really a rock at times and I could not have asked for more support - highly recommend her.

I would say the reason I have not marked this as excellent is that the first 2 invoices were incorrect, but apart from that everything went well.

I have worked with Samantha for a few years. I find that she is always exceptional well prepared, responsive to my queries and very knowledgeable of her area of law. Her ability to deal with wide ranging issues within family law, sets her apart from other solicitor. You will always have confidence that the process is in hand. I would unequivocally recommend her.

Professional and constructive handling of my family law matter which ran for a number of years, good to have the continuity throughout. Initiative when needed, and cool heads when mine was overly swayed by emotion. One minor billing hiccup in an an otherwise smooth engagement, many thanks to all at Stowe.

Divorce is never going to be 'fun' but Stowe made the process much easier for me, thanks to clear guidance with thoughtful, confident and experienced leadership at all times. Ultimately, we achieved a thoroughly fair result for all parties. Thank you.

I can highly recommend Stowe and in particular Claire who throughout a very difficult and challenging time for me and my family remained calm, professional and accessible.
Claire really listened to me and was always available for a quick chat or to respond to email questions.
With Claire’s strong support and guidance we were able to resolve all matters and I wouldn’t hesitate to use Claire again.
