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.

I had an initial consultation with Judit Kerese, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the moment we spoke, she was incredibly understanding, empathetic, and genuinely took the time to listen to my situation.

It was clear that Judit had thoroughly familiarised herself with my case before our call, which meant we could make the most of our time together. Her knowledge of family law was outstanding, and she answered every one of my questions thoroughly, providing clear, practical advice and guidance that I really needed.

What impressed me most was how approachable and compassionate she was. She made me feel heard and supported during what is a very difficult and emotional time. Despite being highly professional, she was also warm, friendly, and never once made me feel pressured to use her services.

I came away from our conversation feeling far more informed, reassured, and confident about my options. I would not hesitate to recommend Judit to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, caring, and professional family lawyer. She is an absolute credit to her profession.

It’s wonderful to hear how positive your first meeting with Judit was. An initial consultation is an opportunity to provide clarity and confidence, and we’re delighted that you came away feeling both.

Your comments about Judit’s preparation, empathy and thorough approach are especially appreciated. Taking the time to understand a client’s circumstances before offering tailored, practical advice is something we value greatly. We’re also pleased that you felt supported without any pressure, allowing you to consider your options with confidence.

Thank you for such a thoughtful recommendation. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Judit.

Volunteering in our University of Law Pro bono advice clinic

We have really valued the time, expertise and generosity Judit Kerese has given to the clients and students this year in our Family Advice Bristol (FAB) clinics. 12 clients have had the opportunity to receive advice from her sessions alone; many have sent us grateful thanks for the service they have received.

From Judit's sessions, the clinic has offered 92 opportunities for students to gain fantastic insight into the work of specialist family solicitors, and we have had excellent feedback on how much the students have enjoyed and learned from the sessions. Several students have reconsidered family law as an area they would be interested in, having completely disregarded it before and for some it has provided valuable insight to their decision-making processes for future direction regarding which branch of the profession to pursue.

We have very much enjoyed working with Judit this year and hope that she will be willing to continue working with us into the next academic year!

It’s particularly rewarding to hear about the impact Judit has had beyond individual client matters. Supporting both clients and the next generation of legal professionals is something we are incredibly proud of, and your feedback highlights the difference her contribution has made on both fronts.

We’re delighted that so many clients have benefited from her advice and that students have gained such valuable insight into family law through her sessions. Inspiring future lawyers and helping them explore a career path they may not previously have considered is a fantastic achievement, and one that reflects Judit’s knowledge, generosity and enthusiasm for the profession.

Thank you for your kind words and for the opportunity to work alongside Family Advice Bristol. We will ensure your feedback is shared with Judit, who will be delighted to hear of the positive impact she has made.

Stowe - Family Court

The team at Stowe have been really helpful during a very difficult time. I would highly recommend Judit Kerese, who gave me every opportunity for the best outcome of my case and was the support and legal backing I needed at a highly stressful time. All the way through to a final hearing to have someone responsive, diligent and offering sound advice, who is part of larger team is essential in these times. I would certainly recommend Stowe to anyone going through the family courts.

Professional and competent.

Stowe we're very helpful in what is a very stressful situation, divorce. I had a free conversation with a divorce solicitor to help me decide whether to proceed with that company and what tack to choose. They were very calming and explained everything to me. They arranged a few telephone conversations and we communicated mostly by emails. They kept me informed on costs as time progressed and were within the estimate originally provided.

Excellent service!!!!

I had the best possible experience with Zoe Robinson's family law team, in a very high conflict situation with my daughter's father.
From the begining, the team's understanding of the complexity of the situation, diligence, honest and realistic advice, and extremely good judicial support, was crucial to get the the best outcome in family court.
I am so happy, and hopeful for my daughter's future because i felt empowered by Zoe's team.
I definitely recommend Zoe Robinson's family law service. For me, she is the 'go to' solicitor for any future conflict situations with my daughter's father.

Zoe Robinson - Stowe Family Law

I'd like to thank Zoe Robinson and all of the team at Stowe Family Law for all of their (ongoing) support through what has been a really difficult time. Since the start, Zoe has been professional, knowledgeable, and gave me clear advice whilst also acting quickly when things escalated.

Zoe has so far handled my case with real precision and care and has always focused on what was best for my child as well as my rights as a parent. I have always felt confident and fully informed when speaking with Zoe.

Zoe's representation has been top-notch and it's made all the difference for not only me but my child, too.

I highly recommend Zoe to anyone needing expert, compassionate help with family law matters.

I am extremely disappointed with the service I received. Despite paying over £3,000, I was left without a barrister at a critical stage, which caused me unnecessary stress and left me unrepresented when I needed support the most. I expected professionalism, transparency, and proper guidance, but instead I feel completely let down and out of pocket.

I would not recommend Stowe Family Law based on my experience — the lack of accountability and poor communication has been deeply frustrating and unfair.

After a lengthy and difficult divorce

After a lengthy and difficult divorce, (which Stowe handled for me), I was forced to seek their help again in chasing the Court Order settlement.
This has now reached a conclusion due to my solicitor listening, advising and implementing what was needed to bring this about. Special thanks to Judit Kerese for all her support. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Stowe to friends and family.

Joanna is a class act

Joanna strikes a superb balance between offering the assurances you need when entering a process - trust, knowledge, experience, perspective etc - and the empathy required to sense the emotional support you need when in it. I am currently at the very early stages of this but felt immediately at ease with Joanna. Pace is being driven initially by me and at no time have I felt pushed to go faster. If anything, when reconciliation with my partner has entered as a potential development (as in my case) I have been encouraged to pursue with gusto. This feels all about me and not about a cookie cutter approach to get to a conclusion asap. Joanna is a class act. Could not recommend highly enough.

Instruction given to help obtain Financial Consent order for my divorce

Instructed this Company to assist getting a financial settlement in place for my Divorce. Nearly 18 months on and absolutely no further forward found them unapproachable when seeking advice and information. More contact was made with their extensive finance department as they persistently pursued money from me to be held on account. No clear or consise itemised invoice was ever available. However there was never enough money held in account and in my view nearly £5k was spent for absolutely no progress or resolution. After spending all my savings I disinterested this firm and dealt with my husband's solicitors directly who turned out to be very co operative I am pleased to say we have reached a resolution with settlement in place and awaiting my decree absolute. That again I dealt with completely separately from this Company via gov website.
Stowe Family Law proved not to be helpful regarding my situation and are far more keen to take your money than give any helpful advice.
