I had an initial meeting with Sarah McLoughlin and was very impressed with the experience. She was extremely professional, clear and approachable, and took the time to explain the different options available to me in a very practical and understandable way.
I particularly appreciated that the advice was balanced and realistic, without any pressure to make immediate decisions. I left the meeting with a much clearer understanding of the situation and of the possible next steps.
Sarah was also very kind and attentive throughout the conversation. I would certainly recommend her to anyone looking for clear and thoughtful family law advice.

We are also pleased that Sarah’s kindness and approachable manner made the conversation feel comfortable and supportive.
Thank you for recommending Sarah. We will make sure your thoughtful feedback is shared with her.

Incredible service from Chelcie Evans
I can’t recommend Chelcie Evans highly enough. She has supported me through what has been an incredibly difficult and stressful period, and I have always felt that I was in safe hands with her.
Chelcie has been professional, knowledgeable and, importantly, very understanding throughout. She has always taken the time to explain things clearly, answer my questions and give me honest, realistic advice. I have really valued having someone who could keep me focused when things felt overwhelming.
I’ve also been really impressed by her attention to detail and the way she has approached what has at times been a very challenging situation. I have always felt that she genuinely cared about achieving the best possible outcome for me and my children.
Family proceedings are incredibly difficult, but having the right solicitor makes such a difference. I’m extremely grateful to Chelcie for everything she has done for me and would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending her to anyone looking for a family law solicitor

There are times during family proceedings when having someone who can bring calm and perspective is just as important as having excellent legal advice.
We are so pleased that Chelcie has been that person for you. Her ability to explain things honestly, keep you focused during overwhelming moments and remain attentive to the detail of your case clearly gave you confidence that you and your children were being well looked after.
Thank you for recognising not only Chelcie’s expertise, but the genuine care she has brought to your case. Your recommendation will mean a great deal to her.

Thank You Emma Gibson
Emma Gibson is someone who I will always hold close to my heart as without her help I would not have any access to my sons. From an initial recommendation of indirect contact only by CAFCASS to a lives with/shared care order is something that I would not have even believed would ever have happened in a million years! I am only in this position due to the guidance and care provided by Emma. She is the utmost professional whilst also being the most kind, caring and supportive person that I needed during the most difficult time of my life. Emma always ensured I was happy and checked everything over with me and I did not feel alone or isolated in this process. I would always return to Emma if I needed to (hopefully I won't have to), but I would trust Emma with my life :)
I also want to give my thanks to the wider team who has always been supportive and available too as and where needed!
Thank you Emma and thank you Stowe Family Law

Laura S and Laura J.
I never expected to be in a position where I was going through a marital separation. It was the most daunting feeling I have ever felt. Even with friends and family around, you do feel completely isolated and lost and the thought of navigating through can be too much to bear for anyone.
One day, I made a random search online and came across Stowe Family Law and I am glad I did.
From the initial consultation to the point I am at now, Laura Stocks and Laura Jones have been a huge help. Laura S. and Laura J. are both compassionate, non-judgemental, easy to talk to and clearly very good at what they do. Both Laura S. and Laura J. work diligently and have helped me navigate through what is an incredibly tough time in anyone's life. I am not quite at the finish line yet but Laura S and Laura J are making good progress!
For anyone reading this review that is unsure what to do or where to start, I would recommend reaching out to Stowe and asking for Laura S and Laura J. As stressful as the whole thing is, I am glad to have them on my team.

There is something particularly powerful about knowing you have the right people in your corner when life takes an unexpected turn.

Your description of them as compassionate, non judgemental and easy to talk to speaks volumes about the relationship they have built with you, while their diligence and expertise are helping keep things moving in the right direction.
You may not be at the finish line just yet, but we are delighted that you feel supported on the journey towards it. Thank you for trusting both Lauras and for recommending them so warmly to others who may be wondering where to begin.

Amor fati
I am a woman in my 30's finding myself in a position I wasn't ready for or expecting, I'd felt rather lost and needing support and direction. I had spoken to Sara Morton regarding my situation who was professional, and knowledgeable however what I valued most was her overall approach, I didn't just feel like another case or another number; she listened carefully, she noticed small details like the changes in how I spoke about certain things, she created a space that felt warm and inviting despite everything. In a period of my life which has felt chaotic, that initial meeting gave me everything I needed to start breathing calmly again.

Professional, Compassionate and Highly Recommended
I cannot recommend Stowe Family Law highly enough. Chelcie Evans has been absolutely incredible throughout my case. From the very beginning, she was compassionate, professional and reassuring, always responding promptly and providing clear, thoughtful advice that helped me make informed decisions during an incredibly difficult time.
Chelcie was always focused on achieving the best possible outcome for both me and my son, and I felt reassured knowing she was representing us. Throughout what has been one of the most stressful experiences of my life, she was a constant source of support. I trusted her completely, and having that confidence in my solicitor made all the difference.
The outcome of my case far exceeded what I ever thought was possible, and I truly believe that was down to Chelcie's expertise, dedication and commitment. She consistently went above and beyond, and I will always be grateful for everything she did for my family.
Thank you to Stowe Family Law, and especially to Chelcie, for your outstanding support. I would recommend Stowe to anyone needing a family solicitor without hesitation.
