    “I approached Dan Brooks at Poole Alcock for advice on a litigation matter. However, whilst the reason for reaching out to Dan was that I obviously needed his support as a lawyer, his overall approach and demeanour throughout the case meant that he made a tough time in my life a little less stressful, and gave me peace of mind when I needed it the most. A great lawyer, but also a great person too. I would highly recommend Dan to anyone seeing litigation advice.”

    “Feel so lucky to have come across Stowe Family Law. They acted so professionally during my lengthy and very difficult divorce. I had a team of experts on hand to help me over the hurdles including court orders for non-compliance and specific incidents, and sourcing of valuators for overseas property. They were considerate of expenses by delegating to junior members of the team when appropriate, avoiding unnecessary meetings, and keeping phone calls to the point with options readily available for decisions. A special team that stuck to their values as stated in the telephone answering message. Special thanks to Rebecca.”
