Stowe Family Law - Liverpool Reviews 

I honestly can't recommend Stowe Family Law highly enough, especially my solicitor, Kelsey Faulkner.

I got in touch with Stowe just before my first child arrangements hearing and needed help at very short notice. From the moment Kelsey took on my case, I felt like I was in safe hands. I'd never been through anything like this before, so the whole process was pretty overwhelming, but she always took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I knew what to expect.

Kelsey was incredibly well prepared from start to finish. She was calm, organised and completely on top of the details, which gave me a huge amount of confidence. During the hearings, she represented me brilliantly and I always felt she was fighting my corner.

What really stood out, though, was how kind and approachable she was. Family court is a stressful place to find yourself, but she never made me feel like just another client. She genuinely cared, listened when I needed reassurance, and supported me through one of the hardest periods of my life.

The outcome has made a huge difference to the lives of me and my two boys, and I'll always be grateful for everything Kelsey did for us. She's an absolute credit to Stowe Family Law, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone who needs a family solicitor.

Amazing service from Kelsey, she was very personable and showed a degree of empathy that sadly not everyone in this profession possesses.
She was extremely knowledgeable and I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending her to anyone who find themselves in a position were they need legal services. Massive thank you for helping make such a positive impact in my life.

I am struggling with many things and also not finding many negative reviews seems rather unreal. Without naming any particular solicitor I have to admit that it's tiresome being reminded of a solicitors hourly rate. An hour and a half very expensive teams call during which I had to detail my own expenditure (which has been enormous) to satisfy inane questions from the other party involved. Having completed Form E very honestly, in response to a very legitimate question of his regarding a locksmith, I was asked to explain the minutiae of my expenditure including receipts, for payments I made to a vet for my grandchildren's deceaaed rabbit, to someone who is effectively living a cushy life in my property (which is in trust). I have been and am very ill as a result. Having been asked to put more money on account I am wary. I need transparency about some light at the end of the tunnel. Letters asking my soon to be ex to return items of mine are not court enforced and are ignored and futile. I haven't had access to any of my things since October last year. For eg my passport has been withheld...plus everything I own, and have worked all my life for, in a property I have the title deeds for and bought in 2003. My ex who I married six years ago rented, and was/is parasitic. Nine months on I am no further ahead and having to provide more documentation to prove my right to what I've earned and own. I dropped an occupation order on Stowe's advice, and the parasite is being enabled to question my right to my own earnings and property. It's little wonder that I have been very, very physically ill and the abuse I thought I was leaving has continued through the court system. Things have been delayed because of my illness...likely caused by the continuing stress of the behaviour of someone who is being 'asked'. His arrogance needs a forceful response. The CID are investigation (coercive control) because his behaviour is of the 'utmost gravity', is slow, meaning I am stuck in a black hole between the civil and criminal, and paying a high price for it. This cannot continue. I am only human and dealing with someone who sees something, likes it, wants it, and takes it regardless of the moral consequences. I need some answers from Stowe please...no more waffle. I have just read that this solicitor deals with 'high net worth families'. I don't fall in that category. Now all the requests for funds 'on account' make sense. Absolutely appalling, not equipped to deal with anyone with vulnerabilities. Extremely slow in passing on information to new solicitor. There is no communication whatsoever at Stowe... only go there if you are of 'high net worth'.
Date given (Dec 1 is approx) Could have started earlier.

Speaking with Orla this morning gave me that spring back in my step that’s been missing for the last 3 years. Felt very relaxed easy to talk to and very reassuring that my life can get back on track. Like the way I used to be.

Orla provided a great service and advice while always being ready to listen and consider my thoughts and wishes.

Really helpful advice.

Nicole put me at ease straight away and made me feel better about the things I was worrying about. I was given all the information I asked for and I’m ready to move forward.

I have just settled after a very acrimonious divorce after38years of marriage and initially was with a local law practice .

Last August after first FDR I transferred to Stowe and the difference was vast

My solicitor Alexandra Martin has been the epitome of professionalism but also displayed empathy and alot of patience .

She has always demonstrated a grip of my ever increasing caseload and I would not have got this over the line at my second hearing yesterday without her .

Finally as someone who had no knowledge of family law and loathes administration Alex was always clear in her instructions and despite other clients she communicated back as fast as possible .

Her and her colleagues Alexandra Hughes and Orla O,Connely come highly recommended .

My initial appointment with Gabby Read Thomas was excellent, she made me feel very at ease with her considerate and understanding manner as well as clearly and efficiently taking me step by step through my options and the various processes. I felt like she had my best interests at the forefront of what she was suggesting and I would certainly recommend her to anyone going through the difficult process of divorce and financial arrangements that I am.

Everyone I dealt with at Stowe Family Law was professional, competent, efficient and friendly. However, my Solicitor, Alexandra Martin, was quite exceptional. I needed her services for nearly a year, and on every occasion that we spoke, or she acted on my behalf, she behaved in the most professional, efficient and empathetic way. She listened at the right times and provided clear, precise, guidance when required to do so. I had, at all times, complete confidence that she was acting in my best interest. She has a very human touch, and made a very difficult situation for me as positive an experience as it possibly could be. She is an absolute credit to Stowe Family Law. Many thanks Alexandra.

Alexandra was professional supportive, realistic and responsive.
She helped me get the financial agreement I wanted. It took longer than expected due to the difficult and unresponsive nature of my ex. She encouraged me to keep going and finally this chapter is closed.
Thank you

Rebecca came recommended from another lawyer. She was incredibly helpful and and resolved my situation very quickly and efficiently. If you are going through a divorce in the UK, she is exactly the person that you need.

They were very informative answering every question that I had. They also highlighted areas that I was unaware of.
They were calm and reassuring throughout. Help ease the stress at a time that feels very overwhelming.

I cannot recommend Stowe Family Law highly enough for the exceptional service they have provided throughout my divorce and family matters. From start to finish, the professionalism and attention to detail have been outstanding.

A special mention goes to Alexandra Martin, who has been absolutely exceptional all year. Her advice has been clear, well thought-out, and meticulously prepared. Alexandra consistently demonstrated a deep understanding of the complexities involved, providing responses to the other party that were both strategic and professional. Her calm, reassuring approach made a very challenging time far more manageable, and I always felt supported and confident in the guidance I received.

If you are looking for a family law firm that combines expertise with genuine care, Stowe Family Law, and Alexandra in particular, are second to none.

I don't recommend.
From July I was passed from very busy Amy in Nottingham to as much busy Alexzandra in Liverpool. Sending emails and getting "I do apologise replies" on amost every email and living from Friday to Friday was just exhausting. Then my file was reviewed by senior partner which costed me extra of course and apparently is part of the process I have agreed to by signing up with them. I was charged for sent draft which didn't get to me for another 2 weeks after was written by another person which of course billed me separately for something which meant to be done already just waited to be sent. I found myself researching for advice on Internet as I wasn't getting answers I expected. I got a lot of things questioned in email and did not get very well explained reasons. I managed to get £100 reimbursement which wasn't accounted in bill which, also was so confusing. I was writing and sending examples of drafts what I wanted to be there. For someone who was not married or in civil partnership I found this "Separation Deeds" ridiculous. At the end this was just 3 pages of word document which didn't had any official solicitors markings. The only positive word I have is for Mollie who did my draft and had a final call with explaining details.
At the end I was also asked to sign disclaimer that for things I wanted to be taken out of the document which I found irrelevant but also alarming that they just trying to wash hands of it in case something goes wrong.
And don't get me wrong I understand delays and my own emotional involvement but I really seen this could of been more time effective.
From July till almost end of November all this costed me over 5k just to get word document which me and my ex had to sign. At the end I had to pay some extra as my top up run out and I was in debit which of course had to be paid.
So if you going by excellent reviews don't because I really don't know where they coming from.
I could put more details in here in what else was just disappointing but in a nutshell that is it.
Find someone local and not big where client are getting quality not being taken as another number on the books.

Kelsey Faulkner was my solicitor and I can't thank her enough, she was fantastic in every step throughout the journey. Highley recommended. Hoping to never need her in the future for positive reasons however if I ever need her she will be the first one to call. Great company also.

I would like to thank Stowe Family Law for helping and getting me through my divorce.
I would especially like to thank Alexzandra Hughes for helping me with my divorce. Her expertise and demeanor kept me at ease throughout the whole process, I cannot thank her enough.
I found the price for my divorce reasonable.
I would recommend Stowe Family Law to use for a divorce

Have worked with Stowe now on numerous occasions. Highly rate, prompt, supportive and get results.

Megan Brookfield dealt with my case from start to finish and has been so professional and caring throughout the whole process. I was a mess when I first started the proceedings, scared of the divorce process, possibility of losing my home and pension, my estranged husband's intentions and harassment. Megan's advice was always delivered kindly with all my options laid out (even those I hadn't wanted to think about). She was happy to answer all my questions and she kept me informed at all stages. Thanks to her help I came through the process without turning into a basket case.

I enlisted the services of Stowe family law to deal with a very time sensitive and intricate and stressful matter. The matter itself has been very nuanced but would like to call out Megan Brookfield specifically who was assigned to the case. She has been fantastic. Throughout the initial engagement and throughout she has been very empathetic, great at explaining legal jargon in a friendly way.

It’s evident that she is passionate about her job and in my opinion has gone above and beyond in many regards to get the best possible outcome possible. Previous experience of other solicitors at other firms in the past has not been as good.

Megan really does care and this is demonstrated through the way she conducts herself and the dedication she has to her clients and her determination to win and see things through.

I would wholeheartedly recommend her to other potential clients
