Where a solicitor protects your position

The key decisions include appointing or confirming parental responsibility, arranging contact orders, and the potential for step‑parent adoption.

I found Nicola to be very helpful and very easy to talk to. She helped me navigate the various challenges in my divorce proceedings in a sympathetic and informative way. She always explained each stage of the process in layman's terms which helped greatly with my decision making. I would be happy to recommend her services to any prospective clients.

Orla OConnor

Tagged solicitor Orla OConnor

I would very strongly recommend Stowe Family Law. I have used Stowe for various legal proceedings for children’s and family finance related cases and they have been excellent. Throughout litigation, I have dealt with many members of staff at Stowe and they have all been extremely helpful and competent. I instructed Orla O’Connor for the legal proceedings. Orla is incredibly knowledgable and thorough, offering sound advice and managing my case, which was particularly challenging at times, very professionally. Orla was able to achieve my desired outcome at the final hearing and conclusion of my child order application. I cannot recommend Orla (and Stowe) highly enough !

Ashar Khan

I have consulted Ashar on a few occasions for legal advice on a family matter. I found Ashar very knowledgeable, insightful and legally tactful. He has the ability to identify a clear legal course of action whilst keeping the bigger picture in mind which is a rare combination. His experience and expertise is evident during interactions/consultation. Its clear he handles the matters with the right level of comittment, authority and care. I was confident that he is right choice to support my case. I would highly recommend him to others looking for lawyers in family domain.

Andrew Foulds

Tagged solicitor Andrew Foulds

I came to Andrew after spending years in family court with another firm, trying to relocate to another country. We had been going round in circles with no progress. As a last resort, I contacted Andrew Foulds and within just a few months of him dealing with the situation, everything was finally resolved. We’re now happily living abroad. I really appreciate Andrew’s straight-talking approach and the way he gets things done.

Maya LalTim Ridyard

Tagged solicitors Maya Lal and Tim Ridyard

If you are looking for legal representation for yourself or possibly a son or daughter, especially if its a delicate matter, then simply, look no further, we were left in a very unfortunate position where for some unknown reason, at the last minute the legal firm we had, decided to stop representing my son, Ashtons Legal stepped in, and all i can say is they were unbelievable in every way, we were 100 percent confident that they were really fighting our sons corner, yes they were exceptionally professional but more than that, they really showed compassion and understanding for what we were going through and yes the result they achieved in court was far better than we ever expected. It is so difficult picking the right legal representation, our worry was always have we picked the right one, simple answer yes we did we chose Ashtons.
