I had an intial consultation with Emily, who listened intentively to the issues I was facing. Emily explained what the legal position was and that there was little clear legal precedent. Following further dicussion with colleagues Emily was able to clarify the legal position and identify a route forward. The other party was uncompromising so several hearings were necessary, however I felt fully supported throughout. Emily was able to engage the services of a fantastic barrister, Tonia Clark, who was able to cut through the chaff and and get right to the heart of the matter, giving me fantastic representation in court. My legally technically challenging case was handled with the upmost professionalism and I could not have hoped for a better outcome. I would wholeheartedly recommend Stowe Family Law and in particular Emily Beven who provided first class advice and support throughout.

Provided excellent clear information regarding the legality of my situation. Very personable and made it easy to discuss very personal information with them.

My consultation with Ailsa was informative and constructive and I felt comfortable explaining the history of my problem not being allowed access to my grandchildren.
Ailsa listened ask questions and made notes as we went through my situation, she then explained the legal process and options open to me.
The options Ailsa suggest have drawbacks for me, but if I do proceed I would want Ailsa as my council.

Navigating a marital dissolution process can be a complex and challenging marathon, but Stowe has managed to support me consistently, professionally, and timely as my needs have developed over the course of the legal proceedings. I would recommend them for family law support without hesitation for professional support.
As with any case, there will be complexities that may require expertise beyond just financial and child-care needs, but having a reliable Stowe team in your corner helps give a level of stability amid an otherwise turbulent time.
If you've read this far - there is light, take a measured approach day-by-day, celebrate the little wins, and consider your team wisely because you need one. Cheers.

I had an initial consultation with Ailsa and found her to be extremely professional, approachable, and clear in her advice. She took the time to listen carefully to my situation and explained the legal process and next steps in a way that was easy to understand. I left the meeting feeling much more informed and reassured about my options. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone seeking advice.

I am currently going through the process of divorce which is being handled very professionally by Jo Backwith and the team at Stowe Law. However, during the Xmas holidays, unfortunately my home situation changed dramatically and Jo, Christine and Katrina stepped in very quickly and assisted me in applying, securing and serving a non-molestation order in a timely manner ensuring my safety and protection. I have been treated with dignity, respect, empathy and kindness. The professionalism shown has been beyond my expectation and I feel reassured that as I continue my legal journey to finalise my divorce I made totally the right decision putting my trust in Stowe Law, Jo Backwith and their excellent team.

I cannot recommend Stowe Family Law Reading highly enough for their exceptional support and expertise during my recent family court case. From the initial consultation to the final resolution, their team demonstrated professionalism, compassion, and dedication that exceeded my expectations.
My solicitor, Kamilla, was a pillar of strength throughout the process. Her in-depth knowledge of family law and her ability to explain complex legal matters clearly and concisely gave me the confidence and understanding I needed to navigate this challenging period. Kamilla was always available to answer my questions, address my concerns, and provide reassurance when needed. Her strategic thinking and meticulous approach were instrumental in achieving a positive outcome in my case.
I also want to sincerely thank Emily for her invaluable assistance with my ID verifications. Her efficiency and attention to detail ensured a smooth and stress-free process, allowing me to focus on the more critical aspects of my case.
The entire Stowe Family Law Reading team created a supportive and understanding environment that made me feel heard and valued. Their commitment to client care is second to none, and I am incredibly grateful for their hard work and dedication.
I wholeheartedly recommend Stowe Family Law Reading if you face a family law matter. They are a team of true professionals who will fight tirelessly to protect your interests and achieve the best possible outcome for you and your family.

I can only speak positively about my experience of using Stowe Family Law and in particular to my solicitor Tazaiyan Baig, who helped me with my case. With my particular situation, I always felt that I was being listened to and the advice, guidance and support I received in return was exemplary. Outside of the legal advice, I found the firm in general to be extremely helpful and clear with their instruction which also helped to give a positive customer experience

Over the past 6 months I have used Stowe Family Law to help resolve a very complicated and tense situation. Thanks to Hannah, Sobiah and the team, the situation was finally resolved and I can only express my complete gratitude and thanks to their excellent support, expertise and advice they have given me during this time.

Reply from Stowe Family Law - Reading
Detailed and honest consultation, and she sat with me for almost 2 hours (flat fee) talking through the processes and options. I walked out of there still feeling sad, but much more confident about my options.

Having had some basic advice on my divorce which was fine and paid for, I was contacted by Stowe's lawyer by email to ask about next steps. I was clear in response, knowing that the time spent doing this results in a legal bill NOT to reach out to me and there was no point in doing anything at this point with mediation ongoing and my partner delaying things. In response, I was charged £136 for this pointless email exchange despite being told I would not.
Do I now reach back out to them to complain about this... presumably only to incur more fees for their response?

I have had the most amazing support from my solicitors (tazaiyan Baig, sobiah Hussain) they both were so helpful understanding and honest from the very beginning. So professional as well amazing. So supportive throughout the entire case. I would recommend them both

I can’t praise Amanda Phillips-Wylds, Sarah Scriven and Emily Bevan and all the team at Stowe Family Law enough. From the very start of the process when my wife first announced that she would be leaving me, and fully intended to take as much of my money as possible! Or should I say in modern terms, what she felt she was “entitled to”. After the initial shock, I had a few meetings with Amanda, and she felt that my wife wasn’t as “entitled” to quite as much of my hard-earned money as she had hoped.
It didn’t end up an easy or cheap process, due to my circumstances, but the outcome was by far the best I could have wished for thanks to Amanda and her team at Stowe Family Law in Reading. So, a BIG thank you from me! You certainly put the ex-wife firmly back in her box once and for all, and I have finally found peace and happiness at the end of this process. So, for anyone starting out on this unfortunate road, be assured there is light at the end of the tunnel! P.S. My advice to anyone planning on getting married and that has any assets worth protecting is, get a pre-nuptial agreement in place first before you sign on the dotted line, otherwise you may sadly regret not having done it one day! It was certainly some of the best money I've ever spent.
