"6 months ago my whole world fell apart. I contacted Stowe Family Law who put me in contact with Monica in the Birmingham team. There aren’t enough words to explain how grateful I am for Monica and the team. She might not know it but she was my solicitor and therapist rolled into one."

Kate Bouwmeester 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.

Two years of working together through an exceptionally difficult divorce builds a level of trust that cannot be captured by legal outcomes alone. Your words about Kate as your “legal guide” say so much about the role she played. Her judgement helped keep matters measured and proportionate when emotions were understandably high, and the fact that you trusted her advice even when it was not necessarily what you wanted to hear is a powerful reflection of the confidence she earned. We are especially touched by your recognition of Kate’s humanity alongside her legal skill. To have felt firmly supported through the darkest moments, while knowing your case was being handled with clear judgement and professionalism, is an exceptional endorsement. Thank you for sharing such a considered and personal reflection. We will make sure Kate and the wider team know just how much their support meant to you. Best Wishes Stowe Family Law

I have been instructed as counsel by Samantha Armour from Stowe Family. When I receive instructions from her, I can always be confident that her cases are prepared to a very high standard and the client has been given exceptionally good and reasoned advice. I would have no hesitation in recommending Samantha as a truly exceptional family law solicitor. I have worked with her for many years now and have seen a wide range of her work and caseload. To be highly recommended.

Alexandra, a recommendation from someone who has worked alongside Samantha for many years speaks volumes about the consistency and quality of her work. It is fantastic to hear that her cases arrive thoroughly prepared, with clear, reasoned advice already given to the client. That level of confidence from counsel is a brilliant reflection of Samantha’s expertise, judgement and commitment to every case she handles. Thank you for such a strong professional endorsement. We will make sure Samantha sees your wonderful feedback. Best Wishes Stowe Family Law

While working with Zeneb Muneer I felt heard. There were times when I felt overwhelmed, anxious, and irritable but she handled me and my case both professionally and with empathy. She took time to explain the law to me and to answer my questions. I would have liked to continue to have her represent me, but due to the length and expense of proceedings this wasn't possible for me.

Feeling heard can make such a difference during lengthy and emotionally demanding proceedings. We are pleased that Zeneb was able to support you with both professionalism and empathy, particularly during the moments when things felt overwhelming. Taking the time to explain the law clearly and answer your questions helped ensure you remained informed throughout your time working together. We completely understand that the length and cost of proceedings can influence the decisions clients need to make. Thank you for your kind words about Zeneb and for recognising the support she provided. Best Wishes Stowe Family Law
I can't thank Orla and Gabriella for all their support throughout the whole process from start to finish. They shown understanding and empathy but remained professional when it was an emotional time for myself and children.
We are so pleased that Orla and Gabriella were there for you from start to finish, balancing professionalism with the understanding and empathy you needed during an emotional time. Knowing you felt supported throughout the whole process is a wonderful reflection of the care they provided. Thank you for your heartfelt feedback. We will make sure your kind words are shared with both Orla and Gabriella. Best Wishes Stowe Family Law
Aimee McKay was my solicitor during my divorce process. I cannot recommend her highly enough. From the outset Aimee was supportive and kind, she is able to combine being very professional, but also being empathic and constructive. I felt well supported throughout. She advised me well and listened to my thoughts and concerns. When there were areas of difficulty, Aimee found more information for me and helped me to make the decisions I needed to make. I would highly recommend Aimee. She is a good solicitor and a great person to have in your corner at such a time.

Being described as “a great person to have in your corner” says so much about the support Aimee provided throughout your divorce. It is wonderful to hear that she combined professional, constructive advice with genuine empathy, while making sure your own thoughts and concerns remained part of the decision making process. When more information was needed, Aimee took the time to find it and help you make informed choices with confidence. Thank you for such a warm recommendation. We will make sure Aimee knows how much her support meant to you. Best Wishes Stowe Family Law
Although divorced 30years I had a lifetime periodical payment still in place and with retirement looming Stowe law advised that a clean break order was a viable option. Danielle Ford took over my case following promotion of my original solicitor to a more senior (and higher cost position). Stowe were always mindful of my costs and advised this option. Danielle proved as thorough, diligent and communicative as her senior. Always with one eye on the mounting costs through the actions of the other party Danielle ensured that the temperature was not raised but also was not slow in rebutting forcefully when required. Stowe provided fantastic counsel whose advice and advocacy at FDR was unassailable. I cannot recommend Stowe family law and their team including Alex Martin and Danielle Ford too highly for financial remediation advice and counsel. The result was a positive outcome which was achieved through their hard work and efforts on my behalf.
Thirty years after a divorce, reaching a clean break and finally bringing financial ties to a close is a significant outcome. We are delighted that the transition to Danielle felt seamless and that she continued to provide the thorough, diligent support you had received from Alex. Your comments about the team’s focus on managing costs while keeping matters measured, but responding firmly when necessary, are particularly appreciated. It is also wonderful to hear how highly you regarded the counsel supporting you at the FDR and that the combined efforts of Danielle, Alex and the wider team ultimately helped achieve such a positive result. Thank you for your generous recommendation and for recognising the hard work that went into bringing your matter to a successful conclusion. Best Wishes Stowe Family Law
