With Judy Johnson’s help, we achieved an outcome that had seemed almost impossible. Judy was highly recommended to us as a children’s lawyer. She supported us in caring for a deeply troubled teenager. When we found ourselves in conflict with a local authority and social workers whom we believed had failed both the young person and us. Those concerns ultimately came before the family courts. In our experience, good hearted carers of foster placements, special guardian arrangements, and similar settings can be unfairly discredited when local authorities seek to avoid responsibility and shift blame. Judy Johnson is an outstanding lawyer who stood by us throughout six gruelling months in which we felt relentlessly vilified. We trusted her judgment at every stage, even as two elderly people facing circumstances we could scarcely have imagined. Judy guided us through every accusation and challenge, including what we regarded as malicious falsehoods intended to damage our reputation. We thought we had already experienced everything life could throw at us, but we were wrong. With Judy’s support, we withstood the local authorities attempt to avoid responsibility for what we believe was gross neglect. We wish more lawyers like Judy were available to help grandparents like us, who feel failed by the judicial system and confronted by local authorities whose conduct, in our experience, knows no bounds. In our experience, departments close ranks—-from social workers—-school staff—while serious complaints about dishonesty and misconduct go unaddressed. Judy Johnson, we can never thank you enough for helping us escape the appalling abuse we endured and for securing yesterday’s decisive victory.

approached Stowe and was appointed Rebecca Finnigan as my solicitor in a matter related to the children. She have been attentive , communicative, and compassionate all through the proceedings. My case is very complex as it includes issues related to child abduction and many safeguarding issues . Rebecca provided excellent legal advice throught the case . I would certainly recommend using them . S.M

Alex, is nothing short of extraordinary. She has been a constant source of strength, offering empathy and support. She is professional, knowledgeable and reliable, in the event I could not reach her she would return calls promptly. I can’t recommend Alex Goldrien and Slater Heelis highly enough.

Thanks very much to Judith who was very clear, quick to respond and provided excellent advice throughout my family law process.

I have dealt with Grant for about two years and my case ended with a positive outcome. All dealings with Grant (and all at Thompsons) have been professional and I was kept updated regularly and in layman's language too. I intend recommending Thompsons Solicitors whenever possible.

I have been with Sabz Solicitors since 2019 and I must say they are reliable and the best so far. I have just received the best news I was waiting for, my baby's registration as a British has been successful and want to use this opportunity to thank my case worker Talal for his hard work towards this application. Kudos Sabz Solicitors, You have Done it Again.
