I instructed Ciara Pugh and Rebecca Bridson at Stowe Family Law to take over my case after my previous solicitors severely mismanaged my file, bungled critical paperwork, and missed a vital court notice. Stepping into an active, mishandled legal crisis requires a high level of professional competence, and both Ciara and Rebecca delivered flawlessly from day one. They immediately conducted a thorough audit of my file, identified the severe procedural errors made by the previous firm (specifically regarding expert testing applications), and implemented a robust, evidence-based strategy to get the proceedings back on track. Rebecca’s meticulous attention to detail, clear communication, and calm, methodical approach kept me grounded during a highly stressful time. Alongside her, Ciara’s outstanding leadership and sharp legal acumen ensured we secured excellent counsel on very short notice. As a professional auditor who values strict compliance, transparency, and risk management, I was incredibly impressed by their straightforward billing and completely objective legal advice. They did not just tell me what I wanted to hear; they told me exactly what needed to be done. If you are looking for a highly competent family law team that will protect your interests with precision and urgency, I cannot recommend Ciara and Rebecca highly enough.
Thank you for sharing your experience with Ciara and Rebecca. We can only imagine how frustrating and unsettling it must have been to find yourself dealing with significant issues in an already complex legal matter. Knowing that Ciara and Rebecca were able to step in at such a critical point and help restore confidence in the process means a great deal to us. Their ability to quickly assess the situation, identify key issues and put a clear strategy in place is something we are incredibly proud of. We’re particularly pleased to hear that Rebecca’s communication and attention to detail helped provide reassurance during such a stressful period, while Ciara’s leadership and strategic direction gave you confidence in the way your case was progressing. Thank you also for recognising the transparency and professionalism of the service you received. We appreciate the trust you placed in the team and are delighted that they were able to make such a positive impact when it mattered most. Best Wishes Stowe Family Law

Kamila Cyran is very professional yet friendly, informative and helpful. She made my court case very manageable, understood my goals and concerns and supported my decisions throughout and in doing so, I am now able to have a more shared-care arrangement with my daughter. I could not have asked for much more from Kamila.

I cannot recommend Gemma from Stowe Family Law highly enough. When I first instructed the firm, I had carefully chosen my solicitor and was extremely happy with the support I was receiving. When she left the company and I was informed that Gemma would be taking over my case, I was understandably upset and concerned. I had built a strong rapport with my original solicitor and was worried that changing representation part way through such an important and emotional process could negatively affect my case. However, from my very first meeting with Gemma, all of those concerns disappeared. She immediately put me at ease with her warm, personable and professional approach. Throughout my case, I always felt that she genuinely cared about achieving the best possible outcome for me and that she was firmly in my corner every step of the way. My case presented a number of challenges, and there were times when the process felt overwhelming. Gemma's guidance, expertise and reassurance were invaluable. She navigated every obstacle with confidence and helped me understand my options at each stage, making a difficult situation far more manageable. Most importantly, I always felt supported and listened to. Gemma combined professionalism with genuine empathy, and I never doubted her commitment to my case. Thanks to her hard work, dedication and strategic advice, we achieved an excellent result. I am incredibly grateful for everything Gemma did for me and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a solicitor who is knowledgeable, approachable and truly invested in her clients.
Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful review of your experience with Gemma. We understand how unsettling it can be when a solicitor changes part way through an ongoing matter, particularly when you have already built a strong relationship and trust with the person handling your case. What’s especially lovely to hear is how quickly Gemma was able to put those concerns to rest and earn your confidence. Taking over a case is never simply about understanding the legal file; it’s about understanding the person behind it, their worries, priorities and hopes for the future. We’re delighted that Gemma was able to provide that continuity of support while also helping you navigate the challenges that arose along the way. Your comments about feeling listened to, reassured and genuinely cared for will mean a great deal to Gemma. Achieving a positive outcome is always important, but knowing that a client felt supported and empowered throughout the journey is equally rewarding. Thank you again for your trust and recommendation. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Gemma. Best Wishes Stowe Family Law
cannot speak highly enough of Ciara Pugh and Rebecca Bridson at Stowe Family Law. I came to them in the middle of an absolute crisis, having been severely let down by my previous solicitors who had botched critical paperwork and missed a vital court notice. From the moment Ciara and Rebecca took over the file, the difference in professionalism, strategic thinking, and urgency was night and day. They immediately identified the procedural errors made by the previous firm (specifically regarding expert testing applications) and worked tirelessly to rectify them and get my case back on track. Rebecca’s attention to detail and clear communication kept me grounded during an incredibly stressful time, and Ciara’s leadership ensured we secured excellent counsel on very short notice. As someone who works in a heavily regulated industry where compliance and risk management are paramount, I deeply appreciated their transparent billing and completely objective, evidence-based legal strategy. If you need a family law team that will protect your interests with precision and absolute competence, I highly recommend Ciara and Rebecca.
Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed account of your experience with Ciara and Rebecca. Reading your review, it’s clear just how challenging the circumstances were when you first came to us, and we’re incredibly pleased that the team were able to step in, regain control of the situation and help move your case forward. What stands out in your feedback is the trust that Ciara and Rebecca were able to build during a period of significant uncertainty. Family law matters are stressful enough without having to deal with procedural issues and missed opportunities, so knowing that their diligence, responsiveness and strategic approach helped restore your confidence means a great deal to us. We’re particularly grateful for your recognition of the professionalism, transparency and attention to detail demonstrated throughout. Your comments will mean a huge amount to both Ciara and Rebecca, and we’ll be sure to share them with the wider team. Thank you again for your recommendation and for placing your trust in Stowe Family Law. Best Wishes Stowe Family Law
I was helped through the process of divorce and financial matters by Aimee McKay. She was incredibly helpful throughout every stage and always ensured that I was kept up to date with progress. She made it was always very prompt and timely with correspondence from the other side and explained the complexities of the matter in language that was really simple and easy to understand. I am really grateful for all the hard work that Aimee, as well as her other colleagues at Stowe, put in and how supportive they were during the process.

My legal matter was handed over to Gemma Thew at a critical point in the process. Gemma made herself fully aware of the issues I faced both legally and emotionally before contacting me and was able to quickly bring issues to a close. Her supportive approach and understanding of my personal issues and needs linked to my legal matter was very refreshing and constructive. I would like therefore to put on record my sincere thanks to Gemma Thew for her quick and timely response to emails, for picking up the phone, listening, and talking to me and providing well considered answers and proposals to my questions and comments. Her empathy and approach have been a major help during a difficult time. I highly recommend Gemma both from a legal and, more importantly, interpersonal point of view. I hope that Gemma will be able to continue to support me in the final months of my legal issues. Tim
