Harriet Reid

Tagged solicitor Harriet Reid

I am based in London but friend recommended Harriet Reed, at Winson in Leeds, to speak to about my failing marriage. Following that initial discussion, it was over three years before a financial settlement was reached via a private FDR. Harriet was with me every step of the way, in advising me in dealing with an intransigent spouse and on the battles to fight. I always felt Harriet had my back, and to have her present at the FDR, made me feel i was in safe hands. Harriet's judgment was sound in her recommeded counsel both at the FDR and preparing for it. She made it clear from the beging the likely cost of emarking on such a course as well as the potential legal cost of a final hearing. Harriet understood what I was going through and has a great bedside manner. I am delighted to commend Harriet Reed for her dealings with me.

Michael Hicks

Tagged solicitor Michael Hicks

I first met Mike Hicks in 2016 when going through the stress and upset of a divorce with young children involved when he was with Steed & Steed and I felt at ease with his compassionate and understanding knowledge of the difficult road ahead,he helped and guided me to understand the legal jargon coming from all directions which made the whole process a little less scary. Fast forward to 2024 and after an extremely difficult previous couple of years of hardly any contact with the children the situation needed legal intervention. Mike had changed over with Fisher Jones Greenwood by now and his understanding characteristics were still first class,we found ourselves communicating regularly for the next year in and out of court regarding the delicate matter of child contact,his honest,professional advice took us to a final hearing in September 2025 where the judge awarded quality time with my children. I cannot recommend Mike enough for his expertise in family law with his friendly approachable attitude. Thank you Mike

Cassandra Spenceley

Tagged solicitor Cassandra Spenceley

My wife and I have recently had a matter before the Family court brought against us by a family member, as upsetting as this was we had the pleasure of working with Shelly, Casandra and Lauren and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From the very first consultation their professionalism, dedication, and expertise were evident. The team guided me through every step of my legal matter with clear communication, ensuring I was well-informed and reassured throughout the process. Their solicitors demonstrated a deep understanding of the law, presenting complex issues in a way that was easy to comprehend. They were always accessible, responsive to my concerns, and took the time to explain all the options available, empowering me to make informed decisions. Whether it was through phone calls, emails, or in-person meetings, the attention to detail and client care was second to none. What particularly stood out was their personalised approach. They didn’t treat my case as just another file but as a priority, tailoring their strategy to meet my specific needs and circumstances. This level of attention, combined with their legal acumen, ultimately led to a successful and timely resolution of my case. I would highly recommend Richard Reed Solicitors to anyone in need of reliable, compassionate, and highly skilled legal representation. Their integrity, expertise, and dedication to achieving the best possible outcome for their clients truly set them apart.

Yasmin Trow

Tagged solicitor Yasmin Trow

I used Stowe Family Solicitors to deal with a family matter, with Yasmin Trow representing me throughout my case. From the outset, Yasmin was incredibly accommodating and arranged meetings around my availability, which made the whole process much easier for me. Her knowledge and expertise were outstanding, and I found it incredibly reassuring to know that I had someone representing me whom I could fully rely on. Everything was explained clearly and in a way that I could understand, so I always knew what I needed to do and what to expect at each stage. Whenever I had views or ideas that Yasmin felt would not best serve the outcome I wanted, she was honest and upfront with me. She would explain the different options available, talk me through the pros and cons of each approach, and give me her professional opinion on what she believed was the best course of action. Ultimately, however, she always respected that the decision was mine. When the matter was finally concluded, I was absolutely overjoyed with the outcome. It exceeded my original expectations, and I genuinely believe that was down to the expertise, guidance and support I received from Stowe Family Solicitors and, in particular, Yasmin. I would have no hesitation in recommending Yasmin and Stowe Family Solicitors to anyone who needs expert, supportive and trustworthy legal representation.

Nicola Buchanan

Tagged solicitor Nicola Buchanan

I have worked with Nicola for some time now and she has expertly guided me through several hearings and then a pre-hearing meeting which lead to the case being settled out of court. I can't recommend Nicola more highly. She is excellent at what she does, she had my back 100%, she actively listened to me and believed what I was telling her, she is super supportive and just a generally lovely human. With Nicola's guidance and expertise we managed to get the best case outcome for my situation which I am truly grateful for.

Gabriella Kent

Tagged solicitor Gabriella Kent

I can’t thank Rothera Bray enough for their outstanding support during my family court case. They were not only incredibly knowledgeable about the process, but also showed real understanding and compassion throughout a very stressful time. Their advice was clear, practical, and always focused on what was best for my child. They handled every challenge with professionalism and confidence, which gave me peace of mind when I needed it most. If you’re looking for someone who truly knows family court inside and out, while also treating you like a person rather than just a case, I couldn’t recommend Gabriella Kent and Hannah Lilley highly enough.

Sarah Fairbrother

Tagged solicitor Sarah Fairbrother

Members of staff were all polite, sympathetic and understanding, each step of the process just seemed to take such a long time and therefore costs totalled many times more than I could afford putting me now in substantial debt. I didn’t realise until nearly two years into divorce proceedings that I could have qualified for legal aid under domestic abuse clauses at which point changing and getting a new solicitor up to speed before upcoming court hearings would have negatively impacted my case.

Laura Hill

Tagged solicitor Laura Hill

I’ve had to act on my own in court before. Having Laura Hill as my advocate meant it was as low trauma and well managed as it could be. Laura is smart, focused, kind and expert. She understands domestic abuse in all its forms and was trauma informed in her approach. She guided me through the application and court process calmly and was a clear advocate for me in the court hearing, having successfully negotiated agreement just before. I can’t thank her enough and would highly recommend Laura and her team.

From start to finish Adrienne provided the most amazing and professional service throughout a very stressful and difficult Family Law Hearing. She was able to reassure and guide me through every stage of the process and I can not express my gratitude enough for everything she did for me and my child. I will be forever grateful for the hard work she put into my case and the the help given to secure the outcome I hoped for. I can not recommend Adrienne highly enough.

Ashar Khan

Tagged solicitor Ashar Khan

I have recently used Farani Taylor and I would like to highly recommend Ashar Khan for anyone needing a professional solicitor. For over the past 4 years Mr Khan has been my solicitor whilst dealings within the Family Court and I could not fault any of his work. As well as being my solicitor for a non molestation application which we were successful in gaining.
