“I recently used David Allen from Stowe to help with increasing access to my daughter, which was beginning to be limited after separation from her mother. The goal I set David from the start was to guide me to achieving a 50/50 shared care arrangement for my Daughter. We successfully achieved this in advance of a final hearing which was a great relief to me. The process is extremely stressful (nothing to do with David or Stowe) and David guided me expertly throughout. David counselled me against actions that he believed would be detrimental and he was not afraid to give me advice I didn't want to hear because he knew it was best in the long run. I was most impressed with David's focus on what was best for my daughter - Had my ex cooperated more reasonably David's advice would have saw his appointment reduced in favour of a quicker resolution for my daughter. David's commitment to my daughter's wellbeing was communicated rationally and clearly through all the documents he produced. I believe this was a factor in my ex and her solicitor conceding to a 50/50 shared care agreement before a final hearing as they could not produce an effective counter argument. From a father's perspective this process is hard and often unfair, its essential you receive the correct advice as one wrong step could cost you everything. I got the advice I needed from David and I now see my daughter every week and weekend with no more risk of her mother stopping this. I couldn't recommend David highly enough if you find yourself in the same position I did. Thank you Michael”

“From day one both Micheal and Darcie have been excellent. They will take time to talk you through the process, they also make themselves available to assist you. One example Micheal was on a weeks holiday and yet he still took time to answer are questions that we had, plus he always keeps us up-to-date with how the case was going. They are both very friendly people and I would highly recommend them to anyone needing legal advice.”

“Going through the process of applying for a child court order was something I dreaded. It was emotionally challenging and it felt overwhelming at times, but having the right solicitor made all the difference. I’m incredibly grateful for the professional yet compassionate support I received throughout. From the very beginning, my solicitor made things feel manageable. They took the time to explain each step of the process in a way that was clear and easy to understand, which helped reduce my anxiety. I never felt rushed or dismissed, instead, I felt heard, respected, and supported. What really stood out to me was how efficient and reliable they were. Everything was handled in good time, and communication was always prompt and helpful. Even when I had questions or felt unsure, they were patient and responsive. Their professionalism gave me a sense of calm during what was, at times, a very emotional journey. Looking back, I’m so glad I had their guidance through this process. Not only did the job get done, they also made it feel less daunting. I can wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone needing support with family law. They helped me find some peace during one of the most difficult times of my life.”
