Extremely Grateful to Stowes Family Law
Cannot thank the team at Stowes enough for their guidance & professionalism during the last 6 years. Under extremely difficult circumstances I was supported & listened to. All the team were great but a special mention for Ms Marques, who was brought on board at a late & crucial stage in the case. She ensured she was fully versed, was extremely professional & a constant support to which I was very grateful for.

Exceptional Service from Stowe Family Law
I had an excellent experience with "Stowe Family Law" throughout my family proceedings.
A special thank you to "Ciara Pugh", "Partner at Stowe Family Law", for her exceptional professionalism, dedication and genuine care. She is highly knowledgeable, down to earth and always took the time to listen to my views and consider my suggestions and feedback. I always felt involved in the decision-making process, and we worked together as a team throughout the case.
What stood out the most was Ciara's availability and communication. She was always reachable whenever I needed advice, and her prompt responses gave me reassurance during what was a very stressful time.
I would also like to sincerely thank "Rosalyn Jacobs" and "Rebecca Bridson" for their valuable support. They were always helpful, responsive and professional, and together they made an excellent team.
Thanks to Ciara and her team's hard work, attention to detail and outstanding negotiation skills, we were able to reach a child-focused agreement without the need for a contested hearing. I am truly grateful for everything they have done.
I would highly recommend "Ciara Pugh" and the team at "Stowe Family Law" to anyone looking for professional, approachable and compassionate family law representation. Thank you once again for helping us achieve the right outcome for Iniya.

Steady guidance through a complex case
My case was a complex, multinational matter, and there were many times during this long legal battle when I felt lost and uncertain. Throughout it all, my solicitor Figen has been a steady guide, always there to lead the process, push through delays, and keep things moving forward. I truly can't say enough to thank her for helping me through such a challenging time.

Some cases demand not only legal expertise, but resilience, patience and determination over a long period of time. We're incredibly pleased to hear that Figen was able to provide all of those qualities while guiding you through such a complex international matter.
Your description of her as a "steady guide" is particularly meaningful. Helping clients stay focused when proceedings become prolonged or uncertain is a vital part of what we do, and we're delighted that Figen's commitment and perseverance helped you navigate such a challenging journey.
Thank you for your heartfelt feedback. We’ll be sure to share your wonderful comments with Figen.

I was very well welcome and feel in a safe environment the first time I met with the team. The process for the complexity of my divorce was well structured, very good advise and good follow-up from my lawyer.
The only downside which is from all law firms in the UK I believe is related to the money involved. The lawyer should not be the one requesting funds upfront on a regular basis. I prevented myself on asking too many questions to avoid being charged as my budget was tight and that part was stressful for me.

Full, objective, transparent advice with full support throughout a challenging process.
The advice I received from Zanariah Webster was invaluable. I was provided with impartial, objective advice on the process of divorce, the importance of the financial agreement and the options I had available to me. A tricky and emotional journey was made straight forward, far less stressful and I felt fully supported throughout the entire process. Highly recommend Zanariah and Stowe Family Law.

Knowledgeable, Supportive and Professional
I had an initial consultation with Pooja regarding my divorce and was very impressed with her professionalism and knowledge.
She took the time to understand my situation in detail and explained the divorce process in a clear and straightforward way. She answered all of my questions patiently and made sure I understood the legal aspects, particularly around financial orders, clean break orders, and what steps I should take next.
I appreciated that she gave practical advice tailored to my circumstances rather than simply explaining the law in general. She was honest about what she could advise on and recommended speaking to an immigration solicitor for the immigration aspects of my case, which gave me confidence that she was acting in my best interests.
Throughout the consultation, she was approachable, compassionate, and easy to talk to. I left the meeting feeling much more informed and with a clear understanding of the next steps.
I would highly recommend Pooja to anyone looking for clear, professional, and supportive family law advice.

I had my initial consultation with Kirsty Dourado
I had my initial consultation with Kirsty Dourado, an associate level solicitor in the firm. I had shared all the details of the case ahead of our meeting.
After gathering further information and obtaining clarifications, Kirsty introduced the various areas of law that were relevant to my case. She also explained how such cases would normally progress and the different things that I should consider.
It is for me, a large undertaking to hire a lawyer when the rate is not inexpensive. However, I left the meeting feeling confident that my case was in good hands. Kirsty was clear on the law and clear in her communications in helping me understand the issues, the risks and available options. Both knowledge and experience were evident which was very reassuring.

Great experience with Shivi Rajput
Shivi Rajput was helpful, efficient and understanding when acting on my behalf in a no-fault divorce. She was very responsive and made an effort to understand my situation and aims. She provided clear advice and it felt like she was always keen to find a solution to achieve the eventual aim - not always my experience with solicitors in other situations.
I have no hesitation in highly recommending her!

Pooja Patel, A Steady Hand When I Needed It Most
I would not wish family proceedings on any parent, let alone a new mother navigating the first precious weeks of postpartum recovery. From the moment I was introduced to Pooja Patel, she became a pillar of strength, reassurance, and unwavering support during one of the most difficult periods of my life.
Pooja’s professionalism is exceptional, but it is her demeanour that truly sets her apart. She approaches every situation with compassion, kindness, and genuine understanding, whilst maintaining the highest standards of legal expertise. She took the time to understand not only the facts of my case, but also the emotional challenges I was facing as a new parent, ensuring I always felt heard, respected, and supported.
Her insight and understanding of family law are remarkable. She has an incredible ability to quickly identify the key issues, explain complex legal matters clearly, and provide strategic, thoughtful advice that inspires confidence. Throughout the proceedings, her guidance has always been honest, measured, and realistic. She never makes promises she cannot keep, but instead provides steady, transparent advice that allows me to make informed decisions at every stage.
What I am most grateful for is Pooja’s calm and composed presence. During moments when I felt overwhelmed, frightened, or unable to see a way forward, she remained a steady hand. Her ability to stay calm under pressure, offer perspective, and focus on solutions has helped me navigate circumstances that at times felt impossible.
Pooja is not only an outstanding solicitor; she is someone who genuinely cares about her clients and their wellbeing. Her dedication, integrity, expertise, and compassion have made an immeasurable difference to my experience of these proceedings and to my ability to cope throughout the process.
I cannot recommend Pooja highly enough.
Any client would be fortunate to have her in their corner.

Your comments about her calm presence, honest advice and ability to help you feel empowered rather than overwhelmed perfectly reflect the care and dedication she brings to every client.

I would just like to say a huge thank you to Pooja Patel who worked on my Divorce case for me after months of stress prior to finding Stowe Law and instructing Pooja. From the very first call Pooja was helpful, compassionate, professional and informative. Pooja made an incredibly stressful experience in my life more manageable and handled everything, whilst helping me understand the process. My divorce case went back to court and without Pooja’s support and professionalism and vast knowledge I am not sure I would have had the outcome I had. I am forever grateful and would highly recommend Stowe law.

Exceptional Legal Representation in an Emergency
I cannot speak highly enough of Ciara Pugh and Rebecca Bridson at Stowe Family Law. I came to them in the middle of an absolute crisis, having been severely let down by my previous solicitors who had botched critical paperwork and missed a vital court notice.
From the moment Ciara and Rebecca took over the file, the difference in professionalism, strategic thinking, and urgency was night and day. They immediately identified the procedural errors made by the previous firm (specifically regarding expert testing applications) and worked tirelessly to rectify them and get my case back on track.
Rebecca’s attention to detail and clear communication kept me grounded during an incredibly stressful time, and Ciara’s leadership ensured we secured excellent counsel on very short notice. As someone who works in a heavily regulated industry where compliance and risk management are paramount, I deeply appreciated their transparent billing and completely objective, evidence-based legal strategy.
If you need a family law team that will protect your interests with precision and absolute competence, I highly recommend Ciara and Rebecca.
