Excellent Service

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!

Professional expertise delivered in a supportive way

I received excellent legal support throughout my divorce and financial settlement. Multiple lawyers looked after my case and they were all good. The only reason for one less star is the cost, but in the end the overall cost came out ok. When I asked for a less expensive solicitor to work on my case there was no issue in a more junior member of staff being appointed, all of whom were very good. Given how stressful a divorce is, the staff at Stowe ensured they gave calm, straightforward advice, and were responsive and professional throughout.

Great service from start to finish under tricky circumstances.

Great service form start to finish. With the help from Hannah Ross and Sarah Sowden, they managed maternity cover and a very tricky and slow opposition. All whilst being considerate of my incurring costs and an emotional and stressful situation. For me however, it's always the human approach they take and for this, I'd happily always recommend to anyone and everyone.

Court litigation

My husband insisted on conducting the whole divorce via the courts and wouldn’t engage in any form of mediation. Rosanna Hounslowe and Asieh Salehzehi were enormously supportive, diligent and attentive to the particular issues inherent in my case and relationship with my husband. Untimely they achieved a great result for me and my children and have enabled me to get on with my new life in the knowledge that I am financially secure and a fair deal has been reached. I will be eternally grateful.

Reliable, Compassionate and Highly Professional Representation This is the second time we’ve worked with Stowe, and with Emily in particular, in family court proceedings. After some poor experiences with another Stockport firm in the past, the difference here is genuinely worlds apart. I wouldn’t consider using anyone else again, although I sincerely hope I won’t need to. The biggest testament I can give is that when the court docs landed in my inbox, my only thought was that I hope Emily was still with Stowe! Emily was great from start to finish. She remembered detailed information from our case five years ago, which saved us having to repeat ourselves and ensured nothing was missed. She pulled together all the material for both the previous and current court bundles, and her summaries were spot on, reflecting the points that really mattered to us. Both Emily and Caitlyn explained everything clearly, and they were consistently patient, kind and honest. They were upfront about costs, realistic about potential outcomes, and supported us through what has been an incredibly difficult period. The barristers they instructed were exactly as described – knowledgeable, fair and accurate in their representation. They also took extra time to talk us through the process, what to expect, and any possible next steps. We’re genuinely grateful to the whole team. Regardless of the outcome and the cost! working with Stowe has always left me feeling confident that we’ve acted with integrity, been properly informed, and been represented both professionally and fairly.

I've been using Stowe for the past 18 months for a divorce which has finally completed. I've been dealing with Stephanie Noel, who has been incredibly helpful, patient and compassionate. I've really appreciated her help. The overall cost has been fair and reasonable. I would recommend working with Stephanie. However, I was initially dealing with James Looi and I did not appreciate his approach/assistance. I kept on being charged for every email and attempted phone call which was outrageous as I'm not made out of money. These charges were later removed and thankfully I did not have to work with him.

A representative from Stowe Family Law LLP responded to this review

Thank you for your wonderful review, Kwok! We're thrilled to hear that Stephanie was able to provide you with the support you needed during your divorce process. Your feedback is noted, and we appreciate you sharing your experience. We strive to improve and ensure our clients feel valued. Thank you for recommending us! Kind regards, The Stowe Family Law London team.

Zoe Cross has been dealing with my ongoing case and I cannot recommend her and Stowe highly enough. Despite no doubt being very busy she is always able to take my call and comes back to me in a timely manner. She has been very knowledgeable throughout and genuinely seems to care about my case and concerns. She does seem to know the case inside out which is obviously helpful. As many people have stated Stowe aren't necessarily the cheapest firm out there but I do feel my case has been looked after as well as I could have ever asked for so it seems you get what you pay for. I have had regular updates from Zoe throughout and I haven't had to chase her.

Exceptional strategic representation during an emergency

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

I cannot thank Emma Gibson enough for her support during one of the most challenging times in my life. From our very first strategy meeting, Emma has been kind, compassionate, and highly professional. She provides honest and clear advice at every stage of the legal process and is always focused on achieving the best possible outcome for her client. What stood out most to me was the time and care she took to understand my situation and the complexities of my case. I never felt rushed or dismissed; Emma listens carefully, explains everything clearly, and ensures I felt informed and supported throughout. I would highly recommend Emma Gibson to anyone seeking a family law solicitor who is not only knowledgeable and strategic, but also genuinely caring and supportive.

It’s clear from your review that Monica falls firmly into the latter category.

Helping clients understand their options, make informed decisions and regain confidence in the future is at the heart of what we do, and it’s wonderful to know Monica was able to do that for you.

By far, this has been the hardest 27 months of my life. When I separated from my ex-wife, I never envisaged the emotional, financial and personal toll that navigating the legal system would take. Gemma came on board roughly halfway through my case when matters had become stagnant and helped get everything moving again. Even when progress was difficult and the other side would not engage constructively, Gemma remained focused, proactive and determined to keep the case moving forward. Throughout the process there were many challenges, setbacks and difficult moments, but Gemma always provided clear, honest and practical advice. She maintained a steady course and never lost sight of the end goal, giving me confidence when I needed it most. Gemma is exceptional at what she does. I have enormous gratitude for her guidance, professionalism and support throughout this process. Quite simply, I could not have got through it without her. Thank you, Gemma.

A representative from Stowe Family Law LLP responded to this review

Some cases are remembered not because they were straightforward, but because of the resilience required to see them through. Your review is a powerful reminder of the emotional and personal impact that lengthy legal proceedings can have on every aspect of someone's life. We’re incredibly proud to hear how Gemma stepped into a challenging situation and helped restore momentum when progress had stalled. Her determination, honesty and ability to remain focused on the long-term objective clearly made a significant difference during what must have been an exhausting journey. Thank you for placing your trust in Gemma during such a difficult chapter. We know your kind words will mean a great deal to her, and we wish you every success and happiness as you move forward into the next stage of your life. Best Wishes Stowe Family Law
