Law firms ranked by client reviews

In England family work encompasses divorce and civil partnership dissolution, separation, financial remedy work, private and public children’s proceedings, adoption and surrogacy, non‑molestation and occupation orders, and related disputes between unmarried partners. A family solicitor drafts divorce petitions and Form E financial disclosure, negotiates and drafts consent orders and financial remedy proposals under the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973, applies for injunctions and occupation orders under the Family Law Act 1996, and represents clients in the Family Court and at hearings involving local authorities and children’s guardians under the Children Act 1989. Cases proceed under the Family Procedure Rules and, since the Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Act 2020, no‑fault divorce.

Helen Stoller

Tagged solicitor Helen Stoller

I am currently with your Solicitors going through a divorce, financial matters and child contact arrangements. This is such a hard time for me to go through but I would not be where I am without Helen, she is absolutely fantastic and a credit to your firm. I would recommend her to anyone who is in the situation to need a family Solicitor. Also dealing with my case is Helen's trainee Solicitor Rachael who again is brilliant and is a great support. But Helen, I honestly can't speak highly enough of her, she is amazing. Louise is always there at the end of the phone for me as many times as I call, she is always helpful.

Beth Sheridan

Tagged solicitor Beth Sheridan

I would like to share my thanks to Beth Sheridan for her support with my initial consultation. There is lots of common misconception and false information when it comes to protecting your assets when relationships turn sour. At this time, you need a good listener who shows empathy and compassion but most importantly has a wealth of knowledge and experience, so that you feel comfortable discussing your situation. Beth helped me to understand the process of pursuing my case so that I could make an informed decision about the best course of action. Based on my experiences so far, I would absolutely recommend Beth and her team at Stowe Family Law.

Amanda Jane Loe

Tagged solicitor Amanda Jane Loe

I contacted Amanda to help finalise my divorce and she eased so much of my stress. I had spoken to other solicitors but couldn’t understand the legal jargon but Amanda explained everything so clearly so I knew exactly what I was doing. She absolutely made a stressful journey easy and simple and I will forever be grateful. Highly recommended!

Penny was incredibly supportive during what was a very stressful time. The exchange in particular was difficult and there were only 3 participants in the chain! Penny responded quickly when any message was left for her. Highly recommend her services

Nicola Bennetts

Tagged solicitor Nicola Bennetts

Nicola Bennetts, I felt very at ease with her as she was very friendly & easy to talk to. She took my case on and in the end it took 3 years to get my settlement, however she remained professional & friendly throughout. I was always informed of what was going on & if we got no response from my ex husband, she sent another letter or email until they had to reply. Very highly recommend Nicola.

I used Zoe Culverwell in a divorce/financial sharing case and can only speak positively about my experience dealing with Zoe and her team. With money being tight and in the midst of a pandemic Zoe was very accommodating with the advice she gave so that we were able to do the paperwork side ourselves to save money. I came out of the case with more than what I was first willing to accept so the advice and encouragement to push for what I deserved rather than what I would settle for was excellent and sensitively done. I would certainly recommend Zoe and her team to represent anyone in the future. I am very grateful for their hard work. Thanks Zoe and team.

Naomi Loose

Tagged solicitor Naomi Loose

Naomi was the third Solicitor to work on my divorce proceedings, first Solicitor retired, second was ineffectual then Naomi who nailed it! Naomi came very highly recommended to me by a friend whose sister had successfully navigated her way through a drawn out divorce using Naomi's services. Naomi is a very experienced, direct and effective Solicitor. She helped me to finalise proceedings I honestly felt would never reach a conclusion. She helps facilitate progress in the most cost effective and fair way. Very responsive with communication, you will not have to keep chasing. Flexible on appointments whether in personal or over the phone or zoom. Provides a full breakdown of cost and keeps you updated every step of the way. Naomi will advocate whilst allowing you to manage your own decision making but will advise when needed. Overall I can't fault this lady. She is amazing at what she does and I can happily recommend to all.

Terina provided the most sympathetic of ears whilst I was naturally very distraught, she listened, understood and supported me which was absolutely critical as I approached a legal system for the first time with the emotion involved being very much out of my comfort zone. Terina gave me the confidence through her obvious sound legal knowledge and professionalism, taking me step by step through the legal process, providing the most on point, accurate, clear and rational direction. I would highly recommend Terina, her approach is unique, grounded and above all in touch with reality. Thank you.
