I had an abysmal unsupportive and really expensive experience with these solicitors, culminating with them deliberately failing to alert me to an upcoming hearing, and claiming that the courthouse had told them I had dismissed them - a process that is impossible; so - a legal firm that isn’t honest - they left me to burn when I was seeking safety for my son, in the most disloyal show of bad behaviour. By coincidence I had already put in pages multiple complaints about their behaviour and not a single one of the complaints was given any weight by them whatsoever so my advice is to avoid this group at all costs- they are an appalling group of solicitors. When I complained to the ombudsman, I was told that no action would be taken against them as “not enough complaints have been before”. So don’t expect help from the ombudsman who is clearly not impartial. I chose Horsham Family Law and I believe if I had use them instead of Stowe Family Law, I would’ve had a much better service all through, than I ever got from Stowe. Needless to say, as the icing on the cake, when Horsham Family Law requested the case file, from Stowe, they refused to give us almost any of it. Makes you wonder why doesn’t it? Maybe the rest of their tactics were as bad as the very badly written Lawyers brief they provided my barrister in court I did manage to get evidence of from them. Avoid at all costs, employee at your cost.
Many times lawyers from Stowe dumped time on my case with no justification. They have a habit of passing your case around multiple teams just to get a second opinion. 3 people I know going through divorces have sacked them. Stay away!
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are disappointed to hear that you remain unhappy with your experience. Our understanding is that the concerns you raised at the time were reviewed in detail and that an agreed resolution regarding costs was reached when your instructions ended last year. We are therefore sorry to learn that you continue to feel dissatisfied. Due to client confidentiality, we are unable to comment further on the details publicly, but we remain committed to taking all feedback seriously. Best Wishes Stowe Family Law

Kate from the very beginning put my mind at ease explaining things to me in ‘normal’ terms, always very knowledgeable and thorough in her work. Would happily seek advice from her in the future.

The first conversation can often set the tone for everything that follows, so we're delighted to hear that Kate made you feel at ease from the very beginning. It's wonderful to know that she explained everything in straightforward, easy to understand language while providing the thorough and knowledgeable guidance you were looking for. Helping clients feel informed and supported is at the heart of what we do, and we're so pleased this was reflected in your experience. Thank you for your kind feedback. We'll be sure to share your lovely comments with Kate. Best Wishes Stowe Family Law
I had a great experience with Stowe Family Law. They handled my case professionally and achieved a quick turnaround, despite having very little notice. The team were responsive, supportive, and made what could have been a stressful process much easier. A special thank you to Lindsey Potter and Helen Miller. They were professional, approachable, and incredibly helpful from start to finish. I would recommend Stowe Family.
As my divorce became increasingly complicated, I was introduced to Pooja Patel and Shivi Rajput. From the moment I had my initial meeting with Pooja, I knew I was in the best possible hands. Throughout my divorce journey, they provided not only exceptional legal expertise but also genuine compassion, reassurance, and unwavering support. Pooja and Shivi consistently demonstrated the highest level of professionalism while always taking the time to understand my circumstances, concerns, and desired outcomes. They never made me feel like just another client. Every conversation was handled with empathy, patience, and respect, ensuring I always felt listened to, supported, and reassured throughout the process. Their knowledge and expertise in family law are exceptional. They explained every stage of the proceedings clearly and in a way that was easy to understand, allowing me to make informed decisions with confidence. Their advice was always honest, balanced, and practical, and I truly valued their ability to manage my expectations while always working tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome. What I appreciated most was their calm and reassuring approach. During the moments when I felt anxious, overwhelmed, or uncertain, they remained composed, approachable, and focused on finding the best way forward. Knowing I had a team I could trust implicitly made one of the most difficult chapters of my life far easier to navigate. Pooja and Shivi are not only exceptional solicitors but genuinely caring people who are deeply committed to achieving the very best outcomes for their clients. Their dedication, integrity, professionalism, and kindness have made a lasting impact on me, and I will always be grateful for the support, guidance, and encouragement they provided throughout my divorce. I cannot recommend Pooja, Shivi, and the entire team highly enough.
Thank you for such an exceptionally high recommendation. Providing clear, practical advice while treating every client as an individual is fundamental to how we practice family law. Pooja, Shivi, and the entire team are delighted to hear how much their dedication, composure, and guidance helped ease the burden during a difficult process. Thank you for trusting us with your case, and we wish you all the very best moving forward!
I arranged to speak to Andrew Campbell to discuss an on-going domestic issue linked to a property. Throughout the meeting Andrew was attentive, made sure he fully understood the situation, and my concerns, while providing a detailed breakdown of options available to me. At no time did I feel pushed into a course of action. Overall the service I recieved was excellent.

Thanks for the great review, Edward! Andrew will be thrilled to hear your feedback. Having a clear, balanced breakdown of your options without feeling rushed or pressured makes a world of difference when handling property-related issues. Thank you for choosing us, and please don't hesitate to reach out if you need anything further in the future!
Louise and team helped me through one of the most difficult processes of my life. She advised me with care and consideration and always gave me a balanced view. I felt like she was an extension of my support network and I was completely comfortable sharing some of the most private parts of my life. Divorce is never easy, but when you are working with someone who will support you, give you honest and useful advice and also guide you through a process without making you feel overwhelmed, that is a true talent. I can only thank Louise for her help and guidance.

Thank you so much for this incredibly kind review, Elizabeth. Divorce is a massive emotional hurdle, and hearing that Louise felt like an extension of your support network is the highest compliment we could ever receive. Wishing you all the very best as you move forward into your next chapter!
I would just like to say a huge thank you to Pooja Patel who worked on my Divorce case for me after months of stress prior to finding Stowe Law and instructing Pooja. From the very first call Pooja was helpful, compassionate, professional and informative. Pooja made an incredibly stressful experience in my life more manageable and handled everything, whilst helping me understand the process. My divorce case went back to court and without Pooja’s support and professionalism and vast knowledge I am not sure I would have had the outcome I had. I am forever grateful and would highly recommend Stowe law.

Looking back on a divorce, it’s often the people who made the journey feel less overwhelming that are remembered most. We’re delighted to hear that Pooja had such a positive impact on your experience. Your review reflects not only her legal expertise, but also the reassurance and compassion she brought to every stage of your case. Helping clients understand the process, navigate difficult moments and feel supported throughout is exactly what we strive to achieve, and we’re so pleased that Pooja was able to do that for you. Thank you for your kind recommendation and for trusting Stowe Family Law. We’ll be sure to share your wonderful feedback with Pooja. Best Wishes Stowe Family Law

In my field, it is important that the solicitors understand the situation and consider what they need rather than just sending a standard letter found online. Likewise, it is important that they consider correspondence carefully when further information is requested. Communication about timescales always vital. These are three key features and in my experience Stowe do this thus ensuring the best service for their clients.

I’ve been working with Ciara Pugh and Anu Kaur of Stowe Family Law for several months now, and I’ve been consistently impressed by their exceptional professionalism, deep expertise, and impeccable client service. The case has been complex, with significant difficulties across various aspects, yet Anu and Ciara have navigated what has felt like a minefield with unmatched skill — always guided by an approach that best serves both their client and justice overall. At times, things became genuinely difficult, upsetting, and frustrating, but they handled those moments with real care, providing certainty and insight when it mattered most. I can’t thank them enough. Highly recommend!
Thank you for leaving us your feedback. Anu and Ciara pride themselves on combining formidable legal knowledge with genuine empathy, and they will be deeply touched to learn how vital their guidance was throughout your proceedings. We sincerely value your willingness to advocate for our practice.

We rang several law firms beforehand who were frustratingly unable to assist. However, Stowe Law listened to our concerns carefully, with empathy and respect. In our subsequent strategy meeting which took place straightaway, Judit Kerese, promptly evaluated our situation and gave highly effective guidance, which was actioned promptly. We are very grateful to everyone at Stowe Family Law, for their warmth, professionalism and guidance in helping resolve our difficulties.

Thank you for your review, Evie. Family law matters can be emotionally challenging, so we are delighted that Ciara and Anu provided the expert guidance, care, and reassurance you needed through such a complex case. Your high recommendation means a great deal to them, and the Stowe Family Law team.
The initial meeting gave me clarity, confidence, and a clear understanding of my legal position and the options available to me. Kate helped me separate the emotional aspects of the situation from the practical realities, providing guidance with exceptional professionalism, empathy, and care. I left the meeting feeling informed, reassured, and confident about the way forward.
Thank you for your generous review. We are thrilled that Kate provided such thoughtful, reassuring, and constructive support during your appointment, and we appreciate your trust in our firm.
