Shanika went above a beyond to help my family

Shanika provided us with everything we needed for our upcoming hearing. Even though Shanika was unable to represent me in the high court due to us needing a barrister, she went above and beyond to find us a barrister which was within our price range and in such a short notice period of 24 hours. She contacted me with any updates and was always there to answer any of our questions. Shanika has definitely put our faith back into humanity and I will be forever grateful to her for her support and kindness throughout this difficult time.

A representative from Stowe Family Law LLP responded to this review

Thank you for such heartfelt feedback about Shanika. We know how stressful and overwhelming it can be when court hearings arise unexpectedly, especially with such limited time to prepare, so it’s wonderful to hear how supported you felt throughout. Although Shanika was unable to represent you directly at the High Court hearing, it’s clear she remained fully committed to helping you find the right support and ensuring everything was in place for you at very short notice. Her dedication, communication and willingness to go the extra mile are qualities we are incredibly proud of. Your comments about restoring your faith in humanity are truly touching, and we will make sure Shanika sees your kind words. Thank you again for placing your trust in us during such a difficult time. Best Wishes Stowe Family Law

Very poor interaction

Very poor interaction. Client care team that addresses new client enquiries wasted a lot of time, confirmed availability of a solicitor on a short notice for a court hearing, wasted 2 days of no response (despite multiple emails and calls), only to come back to withdraw noting the solicitor isn’t available for an unconvincing explanation. Very poor service but grateful I discovered this from the outset, better that than to have assigned them as representative for an important case

A representative from Stowe Family Law LLP responded to this review

Thank you for your comments. We’ve asked for a little more information so we can look into this and help resolve the matter. Kind Regards Stowe Family Law

Amy and Becka are brilliant

I am a local barrister and receive instructions from Stowe. Amy and Becka are strong instructing solicitors and handle their client’s cases with attention to detail, a proactive approach and a high level of client service. As counsel, I always have instructions and papers in a timely manner and they are always at the end of the phone if required. I would highly recommend them

I cannot recommend Zoe Carter enough: she has all the skills of an exceptional solicitor. She always goes over and above on every case she instructs me on. Her written court documents are prepared to the highest standard. She is robust, sensible with an incredible eye for detail and clients always arrive at Court having been well prepared and advised exceptionally well. She has the hallmarks of a first rate solicitor well beyond her level of experience. She is a genuine pleasure to work with and clients always tell me how impressed they are with her.

I have used Maria Coster over the last couple of years. I moved to Maria from another firm as I was left in the dark with things. From the first day I met Maria, we sat down and went over everything. She was extremely thorough and professional and exceeded expectations. Things were always explained clearly. My cases were always dealt with efficiently in a timely manner.

After finding myself in a difficult situation with my ex partner Jason Stanley from the Altrincham office was recommended to me by a friend. I really cannot fault Jason in the way he handled my case. What could have potentially dragged on for months with letters going back and forth, Jason's 'no messing' approach quickly brought the dispute to an end and with the result I wanted. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Both Sushma and Maria have been exceptional throughout my case, they really listened to my issues and have been really supportive. Suffering from anxiety, they have always been extremely considerate and have made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process. Maria went above and beyond within my court case recently and gave me a better outcome than I was originally expecting. I'm still working closely with Sushma and Maria and will have no hesitation to go back to them in the future, if needed.

Thank you for these kind comments, Joshua! It means a lot to us that you are happy with the outcome and we wish you all the best moving forward!

Great service

I'd specifically chosen Stowe as I could see they were specialists in the field of family law and not like your average high street solicitor who tend to be jacks of all trades but masters of none. Lotus and Kelsey were communicative throughout and supportive, I knew where I was at all times and they made sense of the procedures for me. Would highly recommend them

Choosing a specialist firm is about having confidence that the people supporting you truly understand the complexities of family law, so we are delighted that your experience reflected exactly that. It is great to hear that Lotus and Kelsey kept communication clear throughout, supported you at each stage and made the legal procedures easier to understand. Knowing where you stand can make a huge difference during an unfamiliar process. Thank you for placing your trust in the team and for recommending Lotus and Kelsey so highly.

Kate Bouwmeester Review.

Kate is an excellent solicitor whose professionalism, judgement and humanity made a profound difference during one of the most difficult periods of my life. Having been represented by Kate for almost exactly two years, I have a strong insight into her abilities and character. She strikes the right balance between professionalism and humanity — qualities that might seem essential in her field, but which my experience showed should never be taken for granted. During the emotional toll of a particularly drawn-out divorce, I found Kate’s advice sound, consistent and always aimed at reducing conflict where possible. Her support was essential in helping me through a process I found brutal. Even in the darkest moments, I felt firmly supported, while she remained thoughtful, measured and professionally grounded throughout. On strategy, I consistently deferred to Kate’s judgement. Her advice was not always what I wanted to hear, but I came to trust that it was the right advice. When I felt the urge to be drawn into tit-for-tat legal conflict, her calm and measured approach helped keep matters focused and proportionate. Despite Kate’s considerable efforts to avoid it, my divorce ultimately proceeded to a Final Hearing. Throughout the case, I was kept very well informed, and Kate and the team at Stowe worked tirelessly on my behalf. With hindsight, I appreciate the pressure created by the conduct of the litigation and the repeated late production of documents. It is to Kate’s credit, and to the credit of the wider Stowe team, that we navigated those difficulties as well as we did. The barristers Kate selected were also well chosen and reflected positively on her judgement. For me, success in a divorce meant emerging with the best outcome possible in extremely difficult circumstances. I may reflect on some of the choices I made during the process, but choosing Kate was never one of them. She was my legal guide throughout: highly professional, clear-headed, and deeply humane. At a very difficult point in my life, she supported me with empathy as well as legal skill, and I will always be grateful for that. I have no hesitation in recommending Kate Bouwmeester and the wider team at Stowe Family Law.

A representative from Stowe Family Law LLP responded to this review

To be trusted as someone’s legal guide through almost two years of an exceptionally difficult divorce is a significant responsibility, and Kate will undoubtedly be touched by your words. Your review speaks powerfully about the value of advice that is measured, realistic and focused on reducing conflict, even when that advice can sometimes be difficult to hear. The trust you developed in Kate’s judgement, together with the empathy and humanity she showed during the hardest moments, clearly made an enormous difference throughout your case. We are also pleased that you felt so well supported by the wider Stowe team and the barristers involved as matters progressed to a Final Hearing. Thank you for such a thoughtful and deeply considered recommendation. We will make sure your wonderful recognition is shared with Kate and everyone who supported you. Best Wishes Stowe Family Law

Excellent Support and Professional Legal Representation

I am very grateful to Sashina for the professional and supportive way she has handled my daughter’s case so far. She has been extremely helpful in assisting me with the discussions and negotiations regarding child arrangements. This has been a very important and emotional matter for me as a father, and Sashina has taken the time to listen to my concerns, understand my position and explain the legal process clearly. She has dealt with the negotiations professionally and calmly, while keeping my daughter’s best interests at the centre of the matter. I particularly appreciate her communication, patience and dedication throughout the process. Although the child arrangements are still ongoing and have not yet been finalised, I feel reassured knowing that I have Sashina supporting and representing me. I would highly recommend Sashina to anyone looking for a solicitor who is professional, understanding, approachable and committed to supporting her clients through difficult family matters. Thank you, Sashina, for all your support and hard work so far. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Exceptional Support Throughout My Divorce I cannot recommend Stowe Family Law highly enough, particularly my solicitor Pooja Patel and the entire team who supported me throughout my divorce. Pooja’s personal interaction, professionalism and approach throughout my case have been nothing short of phenomenal. Going through a divorce is never easy. There were times when the process felt overwhelming, stressful and uncertain. What made such a significant difference was having a solicitor who not only had an excellent understanding of family law, but who genuinely took the time to listen, understand my circumstances and explain everything clearly. From the very beginning, I felt that my case was being handled with the highest level of professionalism, care and attention to detail. I was kept informed throughout, my questions and concerns were always taken seriously, and I received clear, practical and honest advice. At no point did I feel like just another case or a number on a file. What particularly impressed me about Pooja was the combination of exceptional legal expertise and genuine personal understanding. She was calm, approachable, patient and reassuring when I needed it most, while also being realistic, strategic and focused on achieving the best possible outcome. I always felt that my interests were being properly protected and that I had someone experienced and knowledgeable genuinely in my corner. Pooja and the whole team were professional, responsive and extremely supportive throughout. Their communication was excellent, and they helped remove much of the stress and uncertainty from what was an incredibly difficult period in my life. Their support gave me confidence and reassurance at every stage of the process. Looking back, choosing Stowe Family Law was one of the best decisions I made during my divorce. The quality of the legal advice, professionalism, communication and, most importantly, the human approach made a huge difference to my experience. I am genuinely grateful to Pooja Patel and the wider Stowe Family Law team for everything they have done for me. Pooja went above and beyond my expectations, and her dedication, compassion and professionalism will always be greatly appreciated. If you are facing divorce or any other difficult family-law matter, I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Stowe Family Law, and particularly Pooja Patel. Exceptional service, outstanding legal expertise and genuine care from start to finish.

When someone describes choosing Stowe as one of the best decisions they made during their divorce, it means a great deal to us. Your words capture the difference Pooja’s approach made throughout your journey. Her legal expertise and strategic thinking were clearly important, but just as significant was the way she listened, understood your circumstances and made sure you always felt like a person rather than simply a case. We are incredibly pleased that Pooja and the wider team gave you confidence and reassurance during such an uncertain time. To hear that she went above and beyond your expectations is a wonderful recognition of the dedication and care she brings to her clients. Thank you for such a generous recommendation. We will make sure your heartfelt feedback is shared with Pooja and the team. Best Wishes Stowe Family Law
