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.

Being in an extremely stressful situation going through court, Abi Wollaston was very personable, always easy to contact and was very helpful setting my expectations throughout and providing explanations when my understanding wasn't quite where it needed to be.
I'd like to thank Abi and the team and I would highly recommend using Stowe.

In navigating the complexities of legal services, the clarity and adherence to regulatory standards set by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) are paramount for any law firm. Regrettably, my experience with Stowe Family Law starkly contrasts these expectations, revealing significant shortcomings that potential clients ought to be wary of.
First and foremost, the firm's apparent disregard for SRA guidelines is a glaring concern. This disregard is evident in several critical areas, including client care, complaints handling, billing practices, data protection, and the clarity of legal documents provided to clients.
The firm's process for handling complaints is notably deficient. Despite engaging with complaints officers who boast impressive credentials and extensive experience, it became apparent that their understanding of the law and its application in resolving client grievances is lacking. This raises questions about the efficacy of the firm's internal training and quality control measures.
Ambiguity is a recurring theme in my dealings with Stowe Family Law. The client care letter and terms and conditions provided at the outset of engagement were both ambiguous, failing to clearly outline the complaints process. This lack of clarity extends to the firm's billing practices, which I found to be highly questionable. The documents provided did not sufficiently communicate my rights and responsibilities as a client, leading to potential miscommunications and unmet expectations.
Moreover, the explanation of how my data is protected and my rights under data protection laws were worryingly vague. In an era where data protection is of utmost importance, the firm's failure to provide clear, understandable information on this subject is a significant oversight.
The scope of services offered by Stowe Family Law and their limitations was another area where clarity was sorely lacking. This ambiguity could leave clients unclear about what to expect from the firm, potentially affecting their legal outcomes.
The firm also seems to underestimate the necessity for clients to promptly update their information. This oversight could impede the efficiency of communication, affecting the timely progression of legal matters.
Finally, the use of legal terminology and complex language in the firm's documents could easily obscure their meaning, potentially leading to confusion among clients who may not be familiar with legal jargon.
In conclusion, while Stowe Family Law may have the façade of a reputable law firm, my experience has unveiled a series of practices that fall short of the professional standards expected within the legal industry. Potential clients should proceed with caution and consider these issues when deciding whether to engage the firm's services. It is imperative for Stowe family law to address these shortcomings promptly, prioritizing transparency, clarity, and adherence to regulatory guidelines to restore confidence in their client care and legal services.

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 Family Law and particularly my solicitor, Kate Rayner, who handled my case (before and throughout the pandemic) with great professionalism and attention to detail. Kate is sensitive and knowledgeable, and with her many years of experience she gave me a strong sense of security as she helped me navigate my divorce. I followed her suggestions and reached a satisfying financial agreement with my ex that I wouldn’t have achieved without her advice. I’m so grateful to Kate and gladly recommend the whole team at Stowe for their overall excellent work.

I found myself in a devastating unexpected separation also having serious concerns regarding my sons welfare I was at a loss what to do but I spoke to Rebecca Coates with her understanding knowledge and expertise
In hindsight she was a God send amazing professional diligent and showed great empathy and a genuine interest to help you. I can not recommend her enough she has helped support me into a position now where I am in a great place with good access to my son and my son in a much safer and secure place than when in the marriage and with great prospects on the horizon
Me and my son will always be eternally grateful to her for being there when we were lost but now strong

For 18 months of my divorce process I had been rubbing along with a law firm that was painfully slow, unresponsive, I was being fobbed off with excruciating excuses for shoddy practice. It seemed like I was getting nowhere whilst my husband was treating me appallingly. I approached Kate Rayner at Stowe Family Law, who quietly listened to my completely stressed ramblings of getting nowhere with my divorce from my coercively controlling, emotionally abusive husband. Her response was a resounding and very definite,Yes! Of course we can help! From then on I was on a fast moving, action packed journey.
Kate quickly identified this as a ‘needs’ case, she organised and approved a legal loan for me and the first FDR appointment was just 4 weeks later!
Kate Recruited Simon Rowbotham as Counsel with experience of coercively abusive divorces; they become my phenomenal team and went on to represent me on four further hearings throughout the following year. Kate is an ‘action’ person, a stickler for precision, accuracy and efficiency. I had to step up too, Kate is a taskmaster(in a good way), information needed from me had to be in, up to scratch and on time!
Kate, Simon and I worked as a team, I was in no doubt that they genuinely cared about my future and were striving for my best interest at all times. They manoeuvred around Lockdown in unprecedented times.
My Team secured a Just and Victorious conclusion for me in December 2020.
I have and will continue to recommend Kate Rayner to anyone needing a divorce lawyer and Simon Rowbotham as Counsel.
Thanks again to you both.
