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.

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.

Professional and very helpfull

I received professional advice and all of my questions were answered. After consultations, I've felt confident about what to do and what is the best next step I can take. Josephine was very easy to talk to and made the whole conversation pleasant even though the matters we've discussed were not. 5 stars from me. Thank you.

Excellent support and was there to listen

Really appreciated the support and guidance from Rachel, not just able to provide honest and clear guidance but was really just able to listen when I think that was what I needed the most. My concerns were treated compassionately and with empathy whilst giving me the direction I needed to move forward and I feel that I am back in control now. Thank you, cannot recommend highly enough!

Patient, professional, and a pleasure to work with

Selecting and using a family solicitor is a difficult, costly, and can be an emotionally challenging process. I spoke to Stowe initially between Christmas ’25 and New Years at short notice. From the first conversation onwards, I was very comfortable with my decision to use Stowe and pursue a C100 application, to achieve a ‘Lives with Both’ order. I ended up working extensively with Beth Courtney-Walker (Senior Associate) and have nothing but praise and thanks to her. We laid out and agreed a strategy, the discussed what we expected to happen (and what that might cost) before our C100 submission in March. When I grew impatient or got riled up responses from the Respondent; Beth patiently allowed me to vent and coached me back to our considered plan. Ultimately, this helped me cope with the process better. And most importantly led directly to the outcome we set out to achieve from the outset. A child focussed ‘Lives with Both’ order, which protects my daughters Court Ordered minimum time together. Whilst I only started with Stowe 10months ago, this is the most secure position I have been in as a parent since October 2020…. 6 years ago. THANK YOU BETH,

A representative from Stowe Family Law LLP responded to this review

Reaching the outcome you set out to achieve from the very beginning is a fantastic result, particularly after six years of uncertainty as a parent. What really stands out is the partnership you built with Beth. Having a clear strategy was important, but so was having someone who could keep you focused on that strategy when emotions understandably ran high. Beth’s patience, realistic guidance around the process and costs, and commitment to keeping your daughter at the centre of decisions clearly made an enormous difference. Knowing that you now have a child focused ‘Lives with Both’ order and feel more secure in your position as a parent than you have since 2020 is incredibly meaningful. Thank you for placing your trust in Beth and Stowe. We will make sure your heartfelt thanks are shared with her. Best Wishes Stowe Family Law

Genuinely supportive, honest and excellent advice

I have been very impressed with the advice, guidance and support I have received from Stowe, and in particular from Helen. Helen has been excellent throughout. She is fair, forthright and very clear in her advice, and I have particularly valued the fact that she has always told me what I needed to hear, even when it was not necessarily what I wanted to hear. That honesty and objectivity are incredibly important when dealing with difficult and often emotional family matters. She has taken the time to understand the background and the issues properly, while providing practical, considered and balanced advice on how best to move matters forward. I have always felt well supported, but also confident that the guidance I am receiving is realistic and grounded in what is in my best interests. I would have no hesitation in recommending Helen and Stowe to anyone looking for clear, professional and thoughtful family law advice.

A representative from Stowe Family Law LLP responded to this review

There is real value in having a solicitor who will tell you what you need to hear, not simply what you want to hear. We are delighted that Helen’s honest and forthright approach has given you confidence in the advice you receive, particularly when navigating decisions that can understandably become emotional. Taking the time to understand the wider picture while remaining objective, practical and focused on your best interests is a wonderful reflection of her approach. Thank you for placing your trust in Helen and for recommending her and Stowe so warmly. Best Wishes Stowe Family Law

Beth

What can I say that sums up the support I have had from Beth (Courtney- Walker) over the four years I have sought parental co-parenting for my little boy? Nothing. Nothing can put into words the legal guidance, professionalism, passion for her chosen career and ability to be human, and considerate of the emotions involved and insightful of the mind of others. Put simply, I have the equal care of my child because of her. As I sit and type this I have a tear in my eye (she's knows I can get all emotional!) but she also knows, I hope that my future as a father is as much down to her as it has been to me. Thank you can never convey my gratitude. But I hope she continues to practice for many years and keeps up the truly incredible job she did for me on behalf of others. You've been my angel.

Few things could mean more to a parent than reaching the point where they can share equally in their child’s life, and we are incredibly pleased that this is where your four year journey has led, Michael. Your words show just how much Beth’s support meant along the way. Her legal expertise clearly mattered enormously, but so too did having someone who understood the emotional reality behind every decision and remained committed to you and your son throughout. Knowing that you see Beth as having played such an important part in your future as a father is an extraordinary compliment and one we know will stay with her. Thank you for sharing such a personal and moving review, and for placing your trust in Beth over the past four years. Best Wishes Stowe Family Law

Aimee Mckay represents me in a very acrimonious divorce case/family court matters. Just got my boys back for me after 7 long months, her and Abigail Rowley my barrister rolled out the guns and got the win last week. Truly heartbreaking over the last year, they've supported me in and outside the case, and puts up with me tormenting her remarkably well!! She's a genuine, sweet kind young lady, but does have a bite! I would never go anywhere else, not that I intend to get married again, when all this is over, I'll never forget what she's done for me. She will go all the way to the top, if Karma exists!!

Seven months without your boys is an incredibly long time, so we can only imagine what reaching this point means to you. It is wonderful to hear how Aimee combined genuine kindness and personal support with the determination needed when it mattered most. Together with Abigail, she clearly gave you confidence that you had a strong team beside you through an exceptionally difficult year. Your description of Aimee as sweet and kind but with “a bite” when needed is a fantastic compliment and captures that balance perfectly. Thank you for trusting Aimee and the team through such an important time for your family. We will make sure your heartfelt feedback is shared. Best Wishes Stowe Family Law

Michael, this is such a heartfelt reflection on four years of working with Beth and everything that journey has meant to you as a father. Achieving equal care of your son is an incredibly significant outcome. We are deeply touched that you credit Beth not only for the legal guidance that helped you reach it, but for the humanity, understanding and determination she showed throughout. To describe her as your “angel” and say that she has helped shape your future as a father is an extraordinary compliment. Feedback does not come much more meaningful than that. Thank you, Michael, for trusting Beth through such an important chapter of your life. We will make sure your wonderful words are shared with her. Best Wishes Stowe Family Law
