A Tremendous Thank You

Stowe Family Law have been exceptional in providing their expertise and quality of service. I would like to say a special thank you to Annique Sampson, who was not only extremely helpful every step of the way, but had a quality of understanding throughout my case which gave me the assurance I needed. She has been very supportive, managed my expectations and dealt efficiently with the complexities that came about. It has been worth every penny to get the result I wanted, and Annique was empathetic to the circumstances which drove up costs, so helped provide financial options along the way. I am very grateful to all the hard working individuals who managed my case and couldn’t be more happy to make up for the lost time with my son

Fantastic Filomena!

I was put in contact with Filomena about 14 months ago.
Since the initial meeting with Filomena, I have found her to be incredibly professional, honest, supportive and reassuring.
She has gone above and beyond to ensure I have felt supported every step of my journey.
I have been able to contact Filomena at any point when I have required her support, and she has accommodated any requests, reassured me at points where I didn’t feel as though I could be reassured, been incredibly calm and honest with the advice that she has provided me.
I will forever be grateful for everything that Filomena has done for me over the last 14 months. Thank you.

Divorce - Child and Financial

Dear Filomena,

I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for all the support you've provided me since we started working together in May 2024. Navigating such a difficult and acrimonious divorce was no easy task, but your professionalism and calming influence made a significant difference.

Your ability to look beyond the immediate challenges and focus on the desired outcome was invaluable. I can't thank you enough for your help. Not only are you an exceptional lawyer, but you are also a wonderful person with a delightful sense of humor, which often lightened the mood during tough times.

Thank you once again for everything. I sincerely hope our paths do not cross again under similar circumstances!

Warm regards,

Invaluable support and advice

Worked with Emel during the past 12 months supporting me through a very difficult time and she has always been incredibly supportive whilst providing clear and concise advice on areas which I have no experience on knowledge in. I've found that advice invaluable, as well as the support of the wider team at Stowe.

Maya Bhatiani Had a Cool Head.

Maya Bhatiani was my solicitor and she was really cool at all times and did not fluster, when I was under pressure. Men tend not to end up with the deal they want, however Maya was very experienced and was always willing to offer her advice when needed. Overall, I am happy with the service I received from Maya.

Filomena Sterkij Best divorce solicitor ever.

When I finally plucked up the courage to divorce my husband I wanted to find a solicitor that would put me first not their bank balance.
After the initial consultation I was matched with Filomena Sterkaj.
Filomena was absolutely brilliant with me. I would email or leave her a voice message when I was in total despair and she made the time to come back to me that day.
She was so kind and reassuring without her I dont know how I would have got through the whole nightmare of the divorce experience.
I wanted the divorce to be fair but at times it was challenging.
Filomena was always there to explain everything in a simplistic way that I could understand.
I cannot put into words how grateful I am to her for her genuine kindness and patience.
I will never forget her and highly recommend her to everyone who is planning on going through such an pleasant experience.
She really is one in million and I was so lucky to have her fight for me.

Excellent team of professional, kind people

All the people who worked on my divorce, from my initial enquiries through to the Decree Absolute, have been helpful, professional and kind. I was always able to get answers to any questions I had; I was kept up to date at all times; and I was never in any doubt that I was fully supported. The billing process was clear and manageable. I could not have asked for better.

Best family law solicitors around, by far!

Stowe family law are the best in class.

Filomena was our solicitor throughout our matter and we couldn't thank her enough, she really made our life easier and gave us hope and positivitity through her experience, knowledge and calming manner. Filomena was able to help us from the second she picked up the phone right to the end of our matter. Filomena and Stowe are professional, caring and empathetic. All of our questions were answered straight away with the best legal advice and support possible. The Barrister that was recommended to us by Filomena was also top of the tree in their field, the recommendation could not have been better! Always contactable, always helpful and always proactive. Our Barrister said that the court pack provided prior to our hearing was one of the best they have ever seen in their 40 year career.

I could not recommend Filomema and Stowe more if I tried. Excellent in every area!

Thank you to Filomena and all of Stowe family law.

Very positive experience with Lucy

I instructed Lucy around two years ago regarding contact arrangements for my daughter. My ex partner had been coercively controlling and abusive. I could not have asked for a better solicitor. Lucy has an incredible ability to understand even the most complex situations. She has been reliable, supportive, always available and empathetic throughout. Lucy’s written statements are fantastic, they were thorough, with attention to detail, to the point and extremely clear. I was able to get the best and most safe outcome for my daughter with the support of Lucy.
