Highly recommend
Yvonne was my rock throughout my divorce. From the very beginning, she made what felt like an overwhelming and lonely process so much more manageable.
Her patience, kindness, and guidance were exceptional. She took the time to talk me through every step, explaining everything clearly and never making me feel embarrassed about my lack of IT skills. She always put me at ease and gave me the confidence to move forward.
When it came to attending court, having Yvonne by my side made me feel supported, reassured, and strong. Knowing she was there meant I never felt like I was facing it alone.
Divorce is one of the hardest and loneliest experiences a person can go through, but thanks to Yvonne’s professionalism, compassion, and unwavering support, I came through it feeling heard, understood, and cared for.
I will always be grateful for everything she did for me and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone needing a solicitor who truly goes above and beyond.

Some people remember the legal outcome. Others remember the person who helped them get through it.
Your description of Yvonne as "my rock" is one of the highest compliments a client can give. Divorce can be an isolating experience, and knowing that someone is there to guide, reassure and encourage you through every stage can make an enormous difference. We're particularly touched to hear how Yvonne took the time to explain everything at your pace, supported you in court and gave you the confidence to keep moving forward.
Thank you for sharing such a personal reflection on your journey. We know your words will mean the world to Yvonne and are a wonderful recognition of the care and commitment she brings to every client.

Utter shambles from start t finish
A divorce that was advised would take 6-12 months took 3 years! They do NOT know how to manage a difficult spouse, as they just give in to adjournment after adjournment so the spouse can go on holidays and causes delay etc. As for money, well, I cannot even say here how much this has cost me, a senior pensioner. They advise to get credit cards, borrow money from family and friends then when they can see you have some funds, it's like they just want to ensure they utilise as much of it as possible. Over communication, unwarranted communication, they call you but don't tell you how much that call is going to cost you. Getting barristers that are extremely costly, but no results.
There is too much to mention here, however, if your divorce is simple I am sure they can help you. Don't even bother if things are going to be difficult, promises that just don't pan out as even on my last court date they were asking for yet another adjournment which would bankrupt me. Thank God the judge that day had cancellations and decided that enough was enough as the spouse was on yet another holiday and didn't bother to turn up or be represented in court. So many people involved in the case, emails copied in to people who you do not know and have not been advised of. And all they tell you when you ask is...they're learning. Yes they did learn, they got promoted while you were still at a standstill!
I complained and requested some funds to be refunded and got a minimum, and that is because I had other things going on in my life that I could not take this further.
I felt totally unrepresented and not listened to by this company and I certainly would not recommend them to anyone going through such a traumatic time in their life.

Excellent Support During a Difficult Time
I cannot thank Lauren Gauld and Yvonne Taiwo at Stowe Family Law Chelmsford enough for their support throughout my family law matter.
From the outset, both Lauren and Yvonne were professional, approachable and genuinely caring. Family law matters can be incredibly stressful and emotional, but they guided me through every stage of the process with patience, empathy and expertise. They took the time to clearly explain each step, ensuring I fully understood my options and what to expect, which gave me confidence and reassurance during a very challenging period.
Communication was excellent throughout. My questions were always answered promptly, and I felt that my concerns were listened to and taken seriously. Lauren's legal knowledge and practical advice were invaluable, while Yvonne's organisation, responsiveness and attention to detail helped keep everything running smoothly.
What stood out most was the balance of professionalism and compassion. I never felt like just another case; I felt genuinely supported and cared for. Their calm and measured approach helped reduce a great deal of anxiety and allowed me to focus on achieving the best outcome for my family.
I would not hesitate to recommend Stowe Family Law Chelmsford, and in particular Lauren Gauld and Yvonne Taiwo, to anyone seeking family law advice or representation. They are a credit to the firm and have made a significant difference during what could otherwise have been a much more difficult experience.

Helpful initial meeting
Before deciding whether to proceed with using Stowe Family Law to represent me I decided to take up their offer of a one time fixed-fee initial meeting with a qualified lawyer to discuss the specifics of my case. I found this to be a very useful way of deciding what to do next. The lawyer I spoke to was Beth Duffy and she was very informative and helpful. I would recommend people try this approach as a first step.
