"Orla was extremely helpful and informative when dealing with my initial meeting. She provided me with all the information I may need, was very open about costs attached to the process which was very useful."

Hi Sarah, Thank you for your kind recommendation. We’re really pleased to hear that our team was able to provide the legal expertise and guidance you needed during such a stressful time. Listening carefully and working towards the outcomes that matter most to our clients is central to what we do, and we’re glad this came through in your experience. We truly appreciate your trust in Stowe Family Law. We wish you all the best for the future, The Stowe Family Law Exeter team.
We employed this firm to deal with the inheritance tax on my late mothers estate, because the IR form was too complicated for us to do ourselves. It transpired the solicitor we were given had little or no idea how to do it either. I supplied all the necessary information and statements etc. but it still took her 4 months to get to a point where the form could be submitted. Absolutely clueless. To be fair the solicitor in question, Sam Mohieddin, doesn't work for Watson Thomas any more, but she should have been properly managed.
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.

I used Stowe in 2022 for a family matter and it was one of the best decisions I've made. Predictable and accurate costings, break-neck speed of response and accuracy and thorough knowledge of all relevant legal aspects. My counsel was able to clearly explain all aspects of the process and what to expect. Perhaps her single biggest skill was dealing with the opposing party who was a completely unreasonable individual. The outcome was a completely perfect resolution of the case in my favour. I would not hesitate to use the firm again. Wonderful all round.

Good professional service, I would be more than happy to recommend to others. However, I wasn't listened too on a couple of occasions when collating form e questions. Also felt fobbed off when I queried time and costs.
The work that was carried out had to be achieved in an extremely short timeframe not only were the costs more than competitive the work was of the highest standard.Special thanks and notice to Ellie Michelle and Edward brilliant service from start to finish. While I pray I do not require these services in the future I would certainly not look anywhere else than here.
That’s great to hear – thank you for taking the time to share this. We know how much pressure a tight timeframe can bring, so it’s really good to hear everything was delivered quickly without compromising on quality. The team will be really pleased to read this. It means a lot to know we’d be your first choice if you ever needed us again. Wishing you all the best moving forward. Stowe Family Law
So far the team at Stowes have given me guidance and advice to navigate through one of the most challenging parts of my life.

Stowe family law saw me through the entirety of my divorce proceedings, starting with an initial consultation and going all the way through to submitting a financial order to the courts. Throughout the process I received clear professional advice and I'm happy with the final result. The legal support provided was invaluable, but in addition to this it was a great source of comfort during a difficult and stressful period to have someone so professional and knowledgeable fighting in my corner

I would just like to say a huge thank you to Pooja Patel who worked on my Divorce case for me after months of stress prior to finding Stowe Law and instructing Pooja. From the very first call Pooja was helpful, compassionate, professional and informative. Pooja made an incredibly stressful experience in my life more manageable and handled everything, whilst helping me understand the process. My divorce case went back to court and without Pooja’s support and professionalism and vast knowledge I am not sure I would have had the outcome I had. I am forever grateful and would highly recommend Stowe law.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re pleased to hear that you felt supported and understood during what we appreciate may have been a very challenging situation. Best Wishes Stowe Family Law
I had a difficult experience seeking access to my daughter - despite it being a long process I was supported extremely well by Jenni Morrow and her team. Jenni had an in depth knowledge of my situation and the challenges I faced as well as being readily available to offer advice and in great detail. The preparation for Court was consistent and thorough. As well as selecting an excellent barrister who was an ideal fit for my circumstances. Jenni's hard work always ensured nothing was left to chance. As well as being very diligent Jenni was understanding and compassionate. I received the best possible outcome and am extremely grateful for Jenni and Ashley's efforts in achieving this.
Reading your review, it’s clear how much perseverance was required throughout this journey, and we’re incredibly pleased that Jenni and the team were able to provide the support you needed along the way. Cases involving children are deeply personal, and having someone who understands both the legal complexities and the emotional impact can make all the difference. It’s wonderful to hear that Jenni’s preparation, attention to detail and commitment to your case gave you confidence at every stage, while her compassion and understanding helped you navigate some very difficult moments. We’re also delighted that the outcome achieved was the one you had hoped for. Your kind words about Jenni and Ashley will mean a great deal to them both. Best Wishes Stowe Family Law
I cannot thank Emma Gibson enough for her support during one of the most challenging times in my life. From our very first strategy meeting, Emma has been kind, compassionate, and highly professional. She provides honest and clear advice at every stage of the legal process and is always focused on achieving the best possible outcome for her client. What stood out most to me was the time and care she took to understand my situation and the complexities of my case. I never felt rushed or dismissed; Emma listens carefully, explains everything clearly, and ensures I felt informed and supported throughout. I would highly recommend Emma Gibson to anyone seeking a family law solicitor who is not only knowledgeable and strategic, but also genuinely caring and supportive.

Ms Monica Lal has been outstanding. She guided me through all this difficult process with her unique, professional way, made recommendations, suggested options and, to put it simply, made things work. Alway available to talk, encouraged me, answered all my questions. I cannot thank her enough. She's my top recommendation. She brought me back to life!

Some solicitors help clients navigate the legal process. Others leave a lasting impact long after the matter has concluded. It’s clear from your review that Monica falls firmly into the latter category. We’re incredibly touched to hear how much her guidance, encouragement and unwavering support meant to you during such a difficult time. Helping clients understand their options, make informed decisions and regain confidence in the future is at the heart of what we do, and it’s wonderful to know Monica was able to do that for you. Thank you for sharing your experience and for such a heartfelt recommendation. Best Wishes Stowe Family Law
I contacted Stowe for an paid initial consultation. I found them responsive professional and the onboarding process was straight forward. I was fortunate to have Emma Newman review my case and provide considered guidance at a very difficult time. No one seeks to be in this situation but I am confident that I have the best support available.

While nobody chooses to be in these circumstances, knowing you have a team you can trust is invaluable. Thank you for placing your confidence in Stowe Family Law. Best Wishes Stowe Family Law
By far, this has been the hardest 27 months of my life. When I separated from my ex-wife, I never envisaged the emotional, financial and personal toll that navigating the legal system would take. Gemma came on board roughly halfway through my case when matters had become stagnant and helped get everything moving again. Even when progress was difficult and the other side would not engage constructively, Gemma remained focused, proactive and determined to keep the case moving forward. Throughout the process there were many challenges, setbacks and difficult moments, but Gemma always provided clear, honest and practical advice. She maintained a steady course and never lost sight of the end goal, giving me confidence when I needed it most. Gemma is exceptional at what she does. I have enormous gratitude for her guidance, professionalism and support throughout this process. Quite simply, I could not have got through it without her. Thank you, Gemma.
Some cases are remembered not because they were straightforward, but because of the resilience required to see them through. Your review is a powerful reminder of the emotional and personal impact that lengthy legal proceedings can have on every aspect of someone's life. We’re incredibly proud to hear how Gemma stepped into a challenging situation and helped restore momentum when progress had stalled. Her determination, honesty and ability to remain focused on the long-term objective clearly made a significant difference during what must have been an exhausting journey. Thank you for placing your trust in Gemma during such a difficult chapter. We know your kind words will mean a great deal to her, and we wish you every success and happiness as you move forward into the next stage of your life. Best Wishes Stowe Family Law
