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,
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

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

Kamila has instructed me as counsel in a complex private children law case. Kamila's paperwork was thorough and well researched and demonstrated the very high level of the work that she puts into her cases. Our client got an excellent result in no small part due to the dedication, professionalism and hard work of Kamila. Added to this is her friendly and understanding demeanour that placed our client at ease even in the most stressful of court hearings. I highly recommend Kamila to anyone facing these types of proceedings.

Feedback from counsel who has worked directly alongside one of our solicitors offers a valuable perspective, and this is a fantastic reflection of Kamila’s work. Her thorough preparation and detailed research clearly helped build a strong case, ultimately contributing to an excellent result for the client. Just as importantly, it is wonderful to hear that Kamila combined that technical expertise with a calm, friendly and understanding approach during stressful court hearings. Thank you for recognising Kamila’s dedication and professionalism, and for recommending her so highly. Best Wishes Stowe Family Law

Kamilla is a highly professional woman. From the moment I met her I felt her care , compassion and strength as a lawyer. In highly challenging times with the family court system , Kamilla was my legal rock . Her knowledge of the law is impeccable and her intuition and foresight in my case assisted me in times when I really needed help . No person should face the stress of representing themselves in court. I did this for one too many years . Choosing Kamilla to represent me brought clarity and speed towards resolution within my case. I highly recommend Kamilla and Stowe attorneys . Thank you foe bringing light to my matter and to resolving it.

Knowing you had the right support during your child arrangements case is wonderful to hear. These matters are often deeply personal, so having a solicitor you can trust can make all the difference. We're delighted that Nicky provided the guidance and reassurance you needed throughout your case and that your experience with Stowe Family Law was such a positive one. Thank you for your recommendation and for taking the time to share your feedback. Best Wishes Stowe Family Law
Yvonne was so empathetic and helpful throughout the process. As a victim of domestic abuse it felt so reassuring to have a solicitor who was so understanding and knowledgeable. I wish I had her from the very beginning of all my court proceedings, but she still helped me to achieve a positive outcome in the relevant children proceedings. I will definitely be back in touch with Yvonne if I ever need her help in the future.

Dear Elizabeth, Thank you for your feedback. We are delighted to hear that Yvonne provided empathetic, understanding and knowledgeable support during a very difficult time. It is pleasing to know she helped you achieve a positive outcome.
I am working with Ashley-Le-Core on a difficult childrens case. He has taken my many inane ramblings and worries, and helped navigate them into an actionable plan. The amount of top quality work he's produced, over such a short timeframe, to get me a great outcome so rapidly, has really helped remove a layer of stress that I didnt need at this time. Still a battle to go, however, I am confident that he will help us navigate the court process with clear and valuble instruction.

Sophie Ballinger is incredible, I honestly cannot recommend her enough! She is such a lovely person and it’s very obvious that she genuinely cares about the child in whatever situation you’re in. She’s understanding, caring, honest, supportive, great recommendations (barristers, etc) and incredibly knowledgable. I feel very fortunate to have had Sophie with me through this very difficult time and appreciate all the time and effort she put into our case. The firm has been very professional and always able to help whenever I’ve needed it. I highly recommend, particularly after my experience with Sophie.
Hi Lydia, Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a heartfelt review. We’re delighted to hear about your experience with Sophie and the support she provided during such a difficult time. Sophie’s genuine care, knowledge, and commitment to achieving the best outcomes for children are qualities we value greatly, and your feedback truly reflects the dedication she brings to her work.

Thank you for your recommendation and for placing your trust in Stowe Family Law—it means a great deal to us. We wish you all the best for the future, The Stowe Family Law Brighton team.

I had an initial consultation with Rachel who talked me through the divorce process and some specifics of financials. She was supportive and thorough, encouraging me to think about lots of different elements. I came away with my questions answered and a much clearer understanding of my next steps.

A good initial consultation should leave you with fewer unknowns and a clearer sense of direction, and it is great to hear that Rachel achieved exactly that. By talking through both the divorce process and the financial considerations, Rachel helped you look at the wider picture and think through the different elements that may be important. We are pleased you left with your questions answered and a clear understanding of what comes next. Thank you for sharing your experience with Rachel. Best Wishes Stowe Family Law
I drew on Natalie Nero at Stowe for legal advice on an ad hoc basis, which worked well on my divorce. I then "upgraded" to the full service and found their focus completely shifted from strategy to mechanically filling in forms that constantly needed to be rewritten and corrected. They kept asking for more funds on account despite no invoices and then at the last minute did not represent me at my FDA hearing with hours to go unless I topped up the account with an (uninvoiced) £5000 further payment on my account. Keep away!

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
