Family Matters
I used Stowe Family Solicitors to deal with a family matter, with Yasmin Trow representing me throughout my case. From the outset, Yasmin was incredibly accommodating and arranged meetings around my availability, which made the whole process much easier for me.
Her knowledge and expertise were outstanding, and I found it incredibly reassuring to know that I had someone representing me whom I could fully rely on. Everything was explained clearly and in a way that I could understand, so I always knew what I needed to do and what to expect at each stage.
Whenever I had views or ideas that Yasmin felt would not best serve the outcome I wanted, she was honest and upfront with me. She would explain the different options available, talk me through the pros and cons of each approach, and give me her professional opinion on what she believed was the best course of action. Ultimately, however, she always respected that the decision was mine.
When the matter was finally concluded, I was absolutely overjoyed with the outcome. It exceeded my original expectations, and I genuinely believe that was down to the expertise, guidance and support I received from Stowe Family Solicitors and, in particular, Yasmin.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Yasmin and Stowe Family Solicitors to anyone who needs expert, supportive and trustworthy legal representation.

The best solicitor client relationships are built on trust, and your review captures that perfectly.
We are delighted that Yasmin gave you clear and honest advice throughout, including when her professional view differed from your own, while always ensuring the final decisions remained yours. That balance of expertise, transparency and respect is so important, and it is wonderful to hear that you felt completely confident in her guidance.
Most importantly, we are thrilled that the final outcome exceeded your original expectations. Thank you for placing your trust in Yasmin and for recommending her and Stowe Family Law so wholeheartedly.

Thank you Lucy
I had an excellent experience with my solicitor, Lucy Fitzpatrick throughout the entire process. She were incredibly patient, always taking the time to explain everything clearly and answer any questions I had, no matter how small. Her communication was outstanding—I was kept informed every step of the way and always felt reassured that my case was being handled professionally.
I was particularly impressed with her ability to prioritise matters efficiently, ensuring that important deadlines were met and that everything progressed as smoothly as possible. Her dedication, professionalism, and genuine care made what could have been a very stressful experience much easier.
I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and supportive solicitor. Thank you for your excellent work Lucy.

Great experience with Sophie
I had my initial consultation with Sophie today and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I was a bit scared before my appointment as I've never been in this situation before and never had to get legal advice before but she immediately put me at ease. She took the time to really listen and understand my situation without making me feel rushed. She explained everything clearly, gave honest and practical advice and was open about both the strengths and potential challenges of my case. I left the appointment feeling much more informed and reassured about my options. Sophie was professional, approachable and compassionate throughout and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for clear, realistic and supportive family law advice. Thank you so much for all your help. Natalie

By taking the time to understand your circumstances, explain your options clearly and provide honest advice about both the opportunities and challenges ahead, she gave you the knowledge to make informed decisions without ever feeling overwhelmed.
Thank you for your thoughtful recommendation and for trusting Sophie at such an important moment. We wish you all the very best as you move forward.

I cannot speak highly enough of Yasmin.
Divorce has been, without question, the hardest and most stressful thing I have ever had to deal with. For me, it was never just a legal process. It was 18 months of anxiety, emotional pressure, court deadlines, children matters, financial matters, uncertainty, and trying to keep myself together while dealing with a very difficult situation.
Yasmin was absolutely brilliant throughout.
What made her different was not only the quality of her legal advice, which was excellent, but the fact that she genuinely understood my situation as a person. She understood my anxiety, my dyslexia, and how overwhelming the whole process could become with so many documents, emails, forms, statements and deadlines.
Every time I needed something, Yasmin was there. She was calm, clear, experienced and honest. She explained things properly, helped me stay focused when everything felt chaotic, and gave me the confidence to keep moving forward when I was emotionally exhausted.
My case involved both children matters and financial matters, which made it extremely complex and stressful. Yasmin dealt with the children side and also helped sort most of the financial side too. In my experience, that makes her very rare — almost a unicorn — because she was able to understand both parts of the divorce process and how they connected.
The service was not cheap, but I can honestly say that her seniority and experience were worth it. When your children, your finances, your home and your future are all involved, you need someone who really knows what they are doing. Yasmin brought calm authority, proper judgement and real experience to my case.
I always felt treated with respect, patience and honesty. She was supportive, but also firm when she needed to be, which I really valued. She helped me protect my position as a father and deal with the most painful and stressful period of my life in a way I could not have managed on my own.
I am genuinely grateful for everything Yasmin has done for me. I would highly recommend her to anyone going through a difficult divorce, especially where children and finances are both involved.

Thank you for taking the time to share such a personal and detailed account of your experience with Yasmin.
What comes across so strongly in your review is not just the complexity of the legal issues you faced, but the emotional weight that accompanied them. When children, finances and the future of a family are all intertwined, the legal process can feel relentless, and we're incredibly pleased that Yasmin was able to provide the stability, clarity and support you needed throughout.
Your comments about how she adapted her approach to your individual needs are especially meaningful. Taking the time to understand not only the legal issues, but also the person behind them, is what allows great solicitors to make a genuine difference. We’re delighted that Yasmin’s patience, honesty and practical guidance helped you navigate such a difficult period and feel confident in the decisions being made.
The trust you placed in her during one of the most challenging chapters of your life is something we never take for granted. We will ensure your wonderful feedback is shared with Yasmin, who will be incredibly touched by your words.

Ms Angela Traynier - Superb divorce solicitor
Ms Angela Traynier was recommended to me as “the divorce solicitor that you want on your side” and seeking her representation was the best decision I made. My divorce has been a protracted process but the advice, guidance and support I have received has been faultless. She is dogged in her determination and forensic in process, anticipating counter arguments and ensuring that the appropriate specialist advice had been sought. Unfortunately my ex wife opted for a court hearing rather than resolution. Ms Traynier obtained the services of an excellent barrister Mr Peter Kidd of Harrington Street Chambers. At the hearing the judge recommended settlement completely in line with Ms Traynier’s and Mr Kidd’s assessment and the pre hearing offer, which was then finally agreed to.
Divorce is stressful and I am grateful that I was represented by Ms Traynier, I cannot recommend her more highly.
