Expert professional advice delivered in a friendly and understanding way
I had a 2 hour consultation meeting with Catherine Smith. She is clearly an expert in her field, and was able to explain all matters to me in an easily understandable and straightforward manner, free of jargon. In addition to being professional in her approach, she was also friendly and understanding, which I appreciated. I highly recommend Catherine.

Spending two hours discussing such important matters is no small commitment, so we're delighted to hear that you found the time so worthwhile.
One of the greatest strengths of a good solicitor is the ability to take complex legal issues and make them feel accessible. It's wonderful to know that Catherine's expertise, combined with her friendly and understanding approach, helped you leave the meeting with a clear understanding of your situation and the confidence to move forward.
Thank you for your recommendation. We'll be sure to share your kind words with Catherine.

I cannot recommend Stowe Family Law…
I cannot recommend Stowe Family Law solicitors highly enough. From the very beginning, both Gemma Davison and Ellie Chivers demonstrated professionalism, empathy, and an exceptional level of expertise. They handled my case with sensitivity while remaining clear, strategic, and focused on achieving the best possible outcome.
Throughout the process, communication was consistent and transparent. I was always kept informed, my questions were answered promptly, and every step was explained in a way that made me feel confident and reassured. Their attention to detail and thorough preparation gave me complete trust in their advice and representation.
What truly stood out was their balance of compassion and strength. They understood the personal impact of the situation and their professionalism and dedication made a difficult period far more manageable.
I am extremely grateful for their support and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone seeking knowledgeable, reliable, and supportive family law representation.

Great firm!
I have nothing but high praise for Stowe and their support in my legal issues. Sometimes change of Stowe lead occurred, sometimes unexpected elements came up, often the person against whom I was litigating became disruptive, but Stowe - and in particular the superb Gemma Davison, the main legal on my case - were always steady, patient, clear, supportive and strategic. Definitely would work with them again any time.

Professional, detailed and humane
I was assisted by Sobiah Hussain and Tazaiyan Baig from this office in my matrimonial finances matter. I found them always approachable, professional, and detailed. They were very responsive, and also understanding of the limitations posed by my health condition.
There was always transparency about any fees upfront, and when it became clear a package was no longer appropriate this was openly discussed with me.
I had to change firms because I ended up moving to a totally different part of the country and due to financial constraints ended up becoming a litigant in person eventually. However based on my experience I would recommend Stowe Family Law. They offer an initial discussion so you can always take your questions to that and be clear about what matters to you.

A humane, family-first approach without unnecessary conflict
I instructed Stowe Family Law for my divorce and had an excellent experience from start to finish. My solicitor, Olivia, was outstanding – always prompt, available, and reassuringly clear in her advice. She has a real gift for explaining complex legal points in plain English, while still keeping the proper legal terminology where it matters.
What I really appreciated about Stowe Family Law as a firm is their ethos. They genuinely don’t seem interested in fighting for the sake of it, which sadly feels quite common elsewhere. There was never any sense of dragging things out to generate fees or inflame an already difficult situation. Instead, the focus was consistently on finding a fair and sensible resolution.
Olivia was particularly strong at de-escalating tense or “hairy” moments and helping me weigh up when it was worth standing firm and when it was better to let something go. She always laid out the pros and cons clearly, including likely costs and timeframes, and then left the final decision with me. It felt very much like my interests – and the wider wellbeing of the family and children – came first.
Stowe Family Law absolutely will defend their clients when needed, but not at the cost of unnecessary conflict. Their approach felt balanced, humane, and grounded in reality, which made a hugely stressful period far more manageable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Provided invaluable support and advice
Provided invaluable support and guidance throughout a high conflict divorce process. Responses were timely, and I felt supported and well represented. Unfortunately, I cannot rate 5 stars due to the costs involved. I have found myself not able to afford their ongoing support due to accumulating costs due to the ongoing high conflict nature of my divorce, which has led me to not be able to afford their continued support and representation in court. However, they have provided some ongoing advice and guidance which has been greatly appreciated.
