Amazing team with a brilliant eye for detail, leaving no stone unturned.
Dear Ian. Thank you for your kind feedback. We are pleased to hear that you found the team amazing and thorough in their attention to detail, ensuring nothing was missed. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
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
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

Thank you for your review. We’re pleased you received clear, helpful advice at your strategy meeting and felt supported in moving forward.
From the initial strategy meeting I had with Becca Reynolds in January until my decision hearing yesterday, I couldn't fault the service I've received at all. There's one more hearing to attend in the future but I know that Becca will do all she can to get the ideal outcome. Communication is what really stands out to me. I came into proceedings not really understanding what was ahead of me but everything was explained so clearly and both email and telephone communication has been seamless. I met Becca in person for the first time yesterday and was immediately put at ease and found her so easy to chat to both about the case and day to day life. Becca is extremely professional and knowledgeable and I would recommend to anyone!

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. It’s brilliant to hear that you felt supported and well-informed from the very first strategy meeting through to your recent hearing. We know how daunting proceedings can feel at the outset, so making sure everything is clearly explained and communication remains consistent is something we place huge importance on. We’re especially pleased that meeting Becca in person helped put you at ease; building that level of trust and comfort is key, and it’s great to hear how positively that came across alongside her professionalism and expertise. We’ll be with you every step of the way for your upcoming hearing and will continue to do everything possible to achieve the best outcome for you. Thank you again for your recommendation, it really does mean a lot. Best Wishes Stowe Family Law
I had a really positive experience working with Pooja Patel and Rosanna Hounslow during what is, by nature, a very daunting process. From the outset, they were incredibly responsive and generous with their time, offering clear, upfront advice without trying to charge for every interaction. That early guidance made a huge difference in helping me understand the process and feel more in control at a point where it’s easy to feel uncertain about which direction to take. What stood out most was how they worked with me. I’m quite detail-oriented and particular in how I approach things, and they took the time to listen and adapt to my style rather than dominate discussions. They were thoughtful and honest in their advice, clear on what I should and shouldn’t do, while still giving me space to challenge and explore different angles without it ever feeling uncomfortable. As a senior executive, I genuinely felt like I was collaborating with colleagues on a shared project, which made the whole experience far more manageable and constructive than I had expected. They understood my goals, and as a result we were able to agree the consent order without needing to go to court, which was something I was keen to avoid. Importantly, they never pushed me towards taking unnecessarily aggressive positions, even where it may have been possible to do so. That approach helped avoid unnecessary conflict, prolonged disputes, and additional costs. They consistently acted with integrity and genuine client interest in mind, rather than pursuing actions that might generate further fees. There were also several instances where they actively advised against certain steps to save costs, which I greatly appreciated. Overall, they clearly prioritise helping their clients navigate the process as smoothly and constructively as possible.
Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed reflection on your experience. We’re really pleased to hear how supported you felt by Pooja and Rosanna from the very beginning, particularly during what can be an uncertain and challenging process. It’s great to know their open, collaborative approach worked well for you, and that you felt listened to and able to engage in a way that suited your style. Building that kind of working relationship is something we value highly, so your feedback really means a lot. We’re also glad they were able to help you reach an agreement without the need for court, while keeping your goals, costs and overall outcome firmly in focus. Thank you again for your thoughtful comments. Best Wishes Stowe Family Law

I have nothing but high praise for Stowe and their support in my legal issues. Sometimes change of Stowe lead occurred, sometimes unexpected elements came up, often the person against whom I was litigating became disruptive, but Stowe - and in particular the superb Gemma Davison, the main legal on my case - were always steady, patient, clear, supportive and strategic. Definitely would work with them again any time.

I instructed Ciara Pugh and Rebecca Bridson at Stowe Family Law to take over my case after my previous solicitors severely mismanaged my file, bungled critical paperwork, and missed a vital court notice. Stepping into an active, mishandled legal crisis requires a high level of professional competence, and both Ciara and Rebecca delivered flawlessly from day one. They immediately conducted a thorough audit of my file, identified the severe procedural errors made by the previous firm (specifically regarding expert testing applications), and implemented a robust, evidence-based strategy to get the proceedings back on track. Rebecca’s meticulous attention to detail, clear communication, and calm, methodical approach kept me grounded during a highly stressful time. Alongside her, Ciara’s outstanding leadership and sharp legal acumen ensured we secured excellent counsel on very short notice. As a professional auditor who values strict compliance, transparency, and risk management, I was incredibly impressed by their straightforward billing and completely objective legal advice. They did not just tell me what I wanted to hear; they told me exactly what needed to be done. If you are looking for a highly competent family law team that will protect your interests with precision and urgency, I cannot recommend Ciara and Rebecca highly enough.
Thank you for sharing your experience with Ciara and Rebecca. We can only imagine how frustrating and unsettling it must have been to find yourself dealing with significant issues in an already complex legal matter. Knowing that Ciara and Rebecca were able to step in at such a critical point and help restore confidence in the process means a great deal to us. Their ability to quickly assess the situation, identify key issues and put a clear strategy in place is something we are incredibly proud of. We’re particularly pleased to hear that Rebecca’s communication and attention to detail helped provide reassurance during such a stressful period, while Ciara’s leadership and strategic direction gave you confidence in the way your case was progressing. Thank you also for recognising the transparency and professionalism of the service you received. We appreciate the trust you placed in the team and are delighted that they were able to make such a positive impact when it mattered most. Best Wishes Stowe Family Law

Very professional and just amazing throughout, helped me sort out everything which had been dragging on for years. Amy was great in and out of court and Becka provided me with regular updates. Would 100% recommend in a heartbeat. Thank you!
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. It’s fantastic to hear that Amy and Becka were able to help bring a long-running matter to a successful conclusion and provide the support you needed throughout the process. We’re especially pleased that you felt well informed along the way and that Amy’s representation both in and out of court gave you confidence during what we know can be a very challenging time. Your comments will mean a great deal to both Amy and Becka. Thank you again for your recommendation and for placing your trust in Stowe Family Law. Best Wishes Stowe Family Law

Kamila Cyran is very professional yet friendly, informative and helpful. She made my court case very manageable, understood my goals and concerns and supported my decisions throughout and in doing so, I am now able to have a more shared-care arrangement with my daughter. I could not have asked for much more from Kamila.

I had one first engagement with Stowe to understand my options in light of starting a divorce process. The solicitor was thorough, calm, explained my options clearly and was very patient in answering all my questions. I was very pleased with the advice

I cannot recommend Gemma from Stowe Family Law highly enough. When I first instructed the firm, I had carefully chosen my solicitor and was extremely happy with the support I was receiving. When she left the company and I was informed that Gemma would be taking over my case, I was understandably upset and concerned. I had built a strong rapport with my original solicitor and was worried that changing representation part way through such an important and emotional process could negatively affect my case. However, from my very first meeting with Gemma, all of those concerns disappeared. She immediately put me at ease with her warm, personable and professional approach. Throughout my case, I always felt that she genuinely cared about achieving the best possible outcome for me and that she was firmly in my corner every step of the way. My case presented a number of challenges, and there were times when the process felt overwhelming. Gemma's guidance, expertise and reassurance were invaluable. She navigated every obstacle with confidence and helped me understand my options at each stage, making a difficult situation far more manageable. Most importantly, I always felt supported and listened to. Gemma combined professionalism with genuine empathy, and I never doubted her commitment to my case. Thanks to her hard work, dedication and strategic advice, we achieved an excellent result. I am incredibly grateful for everything Gemma did for me and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a solicitor who is knowledgeable, approachable and truly invested in her clients.
Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful review of your experience with Gemma. We understand how unsettling it can be when a solicitor changes part way through an ongoing matter, particularly when you have already built a strong relationship and trust with the person handling your case. What’s especially lovely to hear is how quickly Gemma was able to put those concerns to rest and earn your confidence. Taking over a case is never simply about understanding the legal file; it’s about understanding the person behind it, their worries, priorities and hopes for the future. We’re delighted that Gemma was able to provide that continuity of support while also helping you navigate the challenges that arose along the way. Your comments about feeling listened to, reassured and genuinely cared for will mean a great deal to Gemma. Achieving a positive outcome is always important, but knowing that a client felt supported and empowered throughout the journey is equally rewarding. Thank you again for your trust and recommendation. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Gemma. Best Wishes Stowe Family Law
cannot speak highly enough of Ciara Pugh and Rebecca Bridson at Stowe Family Law. I came to them in the middle of an absolute crisis, having been severely let down by my previous solicitors who had botched critical paperwork and missed a vital court notice. From the moment Ciara and Rebecca took over the file, the difference in professionalism, strategic thinking, and urgency was night and day. They immediately identified the procedural errors made by the previous firm (specifically regarding expert testing applications) and worked tirelessly to rectify them and get my case back on track. Rebecca’s attention to detail and clear communication kept me grounded during an incredibly stressful time, and Ciara’s leadership ensured we secured excellent counsel on very short notice. As someone who works in a heavily regulated industry where compliance and risk management are paramount, I deeply appreciated their transparent billing and completely objective, evidence-based legal strategy. If you need a family law team that will protect your interests with precision and absolute competence, I highly recommend Ciara and Rebecca.
Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed account of your experience with Ciara and Rebecca. Reading your review, it’s clear just how challenging the circumstances were when you first came to us, and we’re incredibly pleased that the team were able to step in, regain control of the situation and help move your case forward. What stands out in your feedback is the trust that Ciara and Rebecca were able to build during a period of significant uncertainty. Family law matters are stressful enough without having to deal with procedural issues and missed opportunities, so knowing that their diligence, responsiveness and strategic approach helped restore your confidence means a great deal to us. We’re particularly grateful for your recognition of the professionalism, transparency and attention to detail demonstrated throughout. Your comments will mean a huge amount to both Ciara and Rebecca, and we’ll be sure to share them with the wider team. Thank you again for your recommendation and for placing your trust in Stowe Family Law. Best Wishes Stowe Family Law
I was helped through the process of divorce and financial matters by Aimee McKay. She was incredibly helpful throughout every stage and always ensured that I was kept up to date with progress. She made it was always very prompt and timely with correspondence from the other side and explained the complexities of the matter in language that was really simple and easy to understand. I am really grateful for all the hard work that Aimee, as well as her other colleagues at Stowe, put in and how supportive they were during the process.

My legal matter was handed over to Gemma Thew at a critical point in the process. Gemma made herself fully aware of the issues I faced both legally and emotionally before contacting me and was able to quickly bring issues to a close. Her supportive approach and understanding of my personal issues and needs linked to my legal matter was very refreshing and constructive. I would like therefore to put on record my sincere thanks to Gemma Thew for her quick and timely response to emails, for picking up the phone, listening, and talking to me and providing well considered answers and proposals to my questions and comments. Her empathy and approach have been a major help during a difficult time. I highly recommend Gemma both from a legal and, more importantly, interpersonal point of view. I hope that Gemma will be able to continue to support me in the final months of my legal issues. Tim
