Advice regarding separation
I had an appointment with Gabrielle Read-Thomas regarding my separation and questions around a jointly owned property. Gabrielle was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to clearly answer all of my questions. What stood out most was her empathy and understanding. She made what is a very stressful situation feel much more manageable.
Gabrielle also provided clear guidance on next steps and offered recommendations, which gave me a sense of direction and reassurance moving forward.
I would highly recommend her services to anyone needing support in similar circumstances.

Excellent advice and support with outstanding professionalism.
Although a large law firm the support is very individual and I have received fantastic advice support and action from Alexandra Martin in my case to discharge a financial remedy. Her responses have been quick and clearly set out and clear direction given on ways and options on how to proceed always with the final choice given to me as to action to take. Costs are competitive and very clearly set out and billed. I cannot recommend too highly the family law service provided by Alexandra and the team at Stowe family law.

Family Law - Outcome changer!
Orla Connelly handled my case.
She quickly grasped the details of the case, always listened to, and acted upon my concerns, she gave great considered advice, and worked smart and hard to get me a good outcome.
All of this was done with kindness, compassion and utmost professionalism throughout.
Orla Connelly is a diamond in the rough of family law based on my experience. (I don't normally trust solicitors for 5h!t).

Throughout the whole Child custody process, Heather was very meticulous, grounded, helpful and honest. The successful result says it all and I'm glad she was on my side. Her preparation for Court proceedings was A1. It's not a process I would wish on anyone, but with no other alternatives, these are the people you want representing you.

Hire a professional, it really does make a difference!
After nearly four years of wrangling with my ex-wife (more accurately with her partner and his solicitor buddy pulling her strings) I engaged Stowe's services. Situation resolved inside 6 months! I suspect that the minute they realised they were dealing with a highly experienced 'heavyweight' they backed off rapidly. I don't really care though all that mattered was the result and Stowe guided me to achieve that with minimal angst.

Camilla was invaluable in helping me…
Camilla was invaluable in helping me through an extremely difficult divorce which involved several injunctions including an occupation order which we won. She helped me win almost all my cases which totalled more than 12 by the end of a two year period. She gave consistently excellent, realistic advice and she managed my expectations whilst at the same time showing care and believing in me and the case. I would have no hesitation recommending her to anyone in a similar position.

Camilla has helped us through an incredibly difficult time with the divorce of my elderly parents. She has always been kind and understanding with my mum who has been through so much. I would recommend her and the firm with no hesitation, just as they were recommended to us a few months ago.
