Stowe Family Law - Cheltenham Reviews 

Excellent, fast and professional service.

I used Stowe family law for my divorce proceedings. Helen Hanson was the solicitor dealing with my case. I cannot praise Helen enough, she was empathetic, respectful of my concerns and feelings. Helen was always available whereby phone or email. I was never ever left waiting for a response. Using Stowe Family Law was the best decision I made when choosing a firm to act for me. Helen Hanson was amazing and one of the nicest people I’ve actually met in my lifetime. If you’re looking for professionalism along with friendly, true honest people, I strongly recommend you using Stowe Family Law. Simply the best!! Xx

I have always felt that Stowe Family Law have listened, been patient and helpful throughout my divorce. They have always had my best interests at heart and have given me plenty of information and advice. I would highly recommend them.

The solicitor I had helping my case was absolutely amazing. Courtney Rooney took really great care of advising me and helping me with every bit of form needed to be completed properly. She made sure I had everything in place and always had my best interest at heart.
A lovely and compassionate person, who always fitted my appointments around my schedule.
The receptionists at the office in Cheltenham also very helpful and welcoming.
So overall a really good solicitors firm.
The only reason I am giving it a 4 star instead of 5 is because although my case was a very easy straight forward divorce case, I found the charges fees to be overly high. And I'm talking about thousands of pounds. So I struggled from that point of view.
But once started I didn't have the energy to shop around.
So yes, a good experience but overly expensive.

Katy Jordan was absolutly wonderful. She was a pleasure to work with. I felt she was really keen to help keep my costs low and if she thought something was just a waste of money or time she would be open to tell me this. I felt she was on my side and really wanted the same as me. I'd highly recommend her.

Proactive and fast engagement to deal with urgent issues, clear direct engagement and excellent communication

Zoe is an extremely passionate, committed and knowledgeable legal professional. She always acts in the interest of her clients and is focussed on providing support that is personalised, empathetic and caring at a time when her clients need it most.

I can’t thank Zoe Carter enough. She has been absolutely incredible, her knowledge, compassion and dedication has helped me through what I can only describe to be the toughest part of my life. I will continue to highly recommend her.

I worked with Zoe for a year when she was a part of a programme I run with Stowe Family Law. Zoe demonstrated her commitment to continuous personal and professional development throughout this time, engaging fully with honesty and integrity. She is a highly motivated, dedicated lawyer, who is empathetic and prides herself in giving an excellent level of service to her clients. It was an absolute pleasure working with you Zoe.

The lawyers that dealt with my case were very thorough and hardworking. They always listened sensitively to my wishes and concerns. All emails and letters were responded to quickly and they were committed to getting the best result for me and my daughter.

It was reassuring to have such a professional and approachable lawyer (Amy Langford) supporting, advising and guiding me through the divorce process. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and I never felt that any question I had was too stupid to ask.
Amy was always proactive and yet realistic as to the possible outcomes, she allowed me the personal time I needed to process information and empowered me to make my own decisions.
A difficult,lengthy and traumatic time, but it was definitely made easier by having Amy there at each step.- Thank you.

I recently worked with Zoe Carter to assist a client who wished to review her pension sharing options on divorce. Zoe is great at collaborating with other professionals for the benefit of her clients and always quick to respond to communications. I look forward to working with her again!

Regularly updated. Very reassuring.
Peace of mind and complete confidence while you were working on my case

After spending years using another solicitor to deal with my case, that solicitor stopped practising child law so I needed to find another solicitor who was at least as good, if not better. After scouring the review sites we came across Zoe Carter at Stowe Family Law, and am I ever glad we did?
Zoe set me at ease right from the start, going through the various aspects of my case, highlighting which parts were strong and which parts were not. She provided an estimate and breakdown of the potential costs of the case, including variations depending on how many court hearings there might be, this estimate turned out the be pretty accurate at the conclusion.
The case was particularly difficult, we were seeking 50/50 shared care but the other party would not budge or compromise on any aspect, and halfway through an issue with secondary school applications arose which had to be added to the case. Additionally the initial CAFCASS report was not entirely favourable to our case, which added some complication.
In the end Zoe and the Barrister she appointed to represent me in court, managed to get pretty much everything we wanted at the outset.
Zoe was always happy to respond to queries, in or out of hours, including responding to panicked texts or voicemails in the middle of the night or weekend, which provided a high level of comfort.
I cannot thank Zoe enough, I really wish I had found her years ago as the issues we were facing may have been settled way back then. You really don't realise how good or bad your current solicitor is until you find one who is head and shoulders above them in terms of service and knowledge.
I would highly recommend Zoe Carter for any separated parent wanting the best outcome for their children, I could not be happier with the outcome.

Zoe Carter at Stowe Family Law is honestly incredible. She is very professional in her work but also extremely compassionate. Zoe gives clear honest advice and takes the stress away. I have had to instruct Zoe on and off over the past 4 years and I wouldn’t ever want to go anywhere else.

I have been immensely reassured throughout this process by Zoe. Her diligence, accuracy, care, professional approach and calm support is much appreciated.

Zoe Carter was fantastic and held my hand through some very difficult and sometimes dark times with a voice of reason and empathy.

The rest of her team were amazing too. When she wasn’t there, they picked things up.

Very proactive family lawyers, exactly what one needs!

Thank you

A very positive experience with Louise Chipchase and SFL. Louise was very knowledgeable, responsive, clear, pragmatic and professional throughout. Couldn't recommend her highly enough.

My experience with Stowe Family Law is mixed, on the good hand they did achieve what they believe was the best outcome for me; however, on the other hand with so many emails being sent back and forth information was being duplicated at my expense which was frustrating. The solicitors who dealt with my case where kind, helpful but expensive for what I got back.

Lucy was incredibly helpful and efficient when dealing with my international divorce. She was non judgemental, professional and kind. She organised absolutely everything for me and kept me promptly updated through out. If I didn’t understand something she would not hesitate to re explain and reassure. I honestly do not know how I could have gotten through this without her and her team. I am so thankful to them. Highly recommended Stowe family law, they really do look after you!
