Maryana Tuka has been brilliant throughout my separation. The advice that she has given has been excellent & I’ve felt all the way along the process that she is more of a friend than a solicitor. Showing compassion as well as really good legal advice. I would strongly recommend Stowe family law and especially Maryana if you are dealing with any legal family issues. Pete

A close friend is unfortunately going through a divorce. I had used Rebecca Stewart for my own a number of years ago and reached out to her.
The call today with my friend, who has autism, hearing difficulties and English as a second language, couldn't have been any clearer.
Rebecca broke down the situation in simple but not condescending way, gave the detail needed to move forward quickly, and made my friend feel comfortable after a different group had caused him distress after a lack of clarity or contact.
Thank you Rebecca for caring during a time when it is a struggle.

Gemma Windle is outstanding at private children work. I have worked with her on a number of cases and her attention to detail and care for the client is consistently superb. Without doubt she is one of the best lawyers for this work in the country and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone.

Highly recommended!
Thank you Gemma (and the rest of the Stowe team) for your support throughout the last year. You have been incredibly thoughtful, patient and supportive for what was a challenging situation.

I really would recommend Stowe Family Law. Gemma was so helpful and informative and very professional regarding the legal side of things. Speaking to her throughout the court case helped me feel calmer about the situation I was facing. Communication was always great and I’m truly grateful for the kindness and patience she showed me throughout what has been the toughest and most stressful experience. I would recommend Stowe to anyone who is going through the family courts.

From my first contact with Stowe , everything was so efficient and Paula Lucena who handled the issue I had was excellent.
I highly recommend the firm based on my recent experience.

Priyal was outstanding. We would not have received the outcome at court that we did without her advice. I felt far more prepared after speaking with her and the advice given was clear, concise and made a complicated issue so much easier to deal with

Charlotte worked with me for nearly two years and was incredibly supportive and understanding throughout. At no point did I feel judged and she would explain things that I did not understand. Charlotte assisted to help force the sale of my property so that I could then house myself and my two young children. Although it took a while, which is no reflection on her, it was the opposition delaying, her work and approach was fantastic to get the result I (we deserved).
In addition, Charlotte, Liz and Edward also supported me through the Family Court process. They listened to mine and the children's wishes and negotiated the best possible outcome for us, while trying to minimise the impact of cost and maintain my emotional wellbeing.
I cannot thank Charlotte and Stowe Family Law enough for their support - even their admin and finance team are brilliant! I have recommended Charlotte to others in similar situations and will continue to do so.
An additional huge positive is that Stowe did reimburse funds on account once the case was closed - I for one minute did not expect that and am eternally grateful as I try to move forward with my life! Thank you Charlotte and the team at Stowe Family Law!

Stowe family law has been an incredible support during a difficult time. Charlotte’s attention to detail and supportive advice has helped boost my confidence and she is incredible knowledgeable and helpful. I Would highly recommend using Stowe family law for any legal matter relating to family law; the service is fantastic!

Cannot recommend these solicitors more highly!!! My case was dealt with promptly and felt like I was getting the best honest advice. Gemma was amazing and so helpful in fighting my corner for me where I really didn't have any clue of the law or how it works. Great communication and got the outcome that benefited me and all parties in the end

After completing some research, I instructed Gemma Windle acting on behalf of Stowes family Law and I cannot recommend her more highly.
I instructed her concerning a private family law matter. Anyone who has ever gone through such matters will know how stressful and challenging to all this can be.
Gemma has amazing interpersonal, professional skills and her approach is so refreshing and I have always felt 100 % confidence in her approach.
Gemma is highly efficient and her communication pre, during and post ensures nothing is missed during the process.
My litigation has now come to a close and with the most positive outcome achieved!
I cannot be more Thankful to Gemma. She is beyond a credit to the practice and the Profession.
🙏

Very good communication and responses. I can't say enough good things, and I was very happy. The issues I had were resolved and ultimately dealt with after a number of bad experiences elsewhere.

Reply from Stowe Family Law - St Albans
I can honestly say that I am very happy with the quality of the service that I received. Melanie’s experience and expertise became evident right away from our first conversation and for the duration of the case she was always very responsive and helpful, easily accessible and also flexible to accommodate my needs. At the start of the legal case I was quite anxious but the end result exceeded my expectations.

Reply from Stowe Family Law - St Albans
They were extremely competent in working on my case from the outset. They constantly updated me as to fees. My only regret is that I didn't listen to their advice sooner and if I did I think my divorce could have been over three months ago. Gemma Windle is so good that I have already referred two of my friends to her.

I have recently instructed Stowe Family Law to act on a matter on my behalf. Melanie Quinn was my appointed solicitor, she has been fantastic from the first engagement until the conclusion of the case. Melanie is professional, empathetic, honest and informs you of the truth at every avenue, even if you sometimes don't want to hear it! I very much valued Melanie's professional advice throughout my case and would highly recommend Stowe Family Law and specifically Melanies service to anyone that is seeking support with a Family Law Matter. Thank you Melanie!

I had lost hope and felt very defeated after years of trying to finalise the financial part of a divorce with a very manipulative and abusive ex. Coming to Stowe Family Law and being matched with Melanie has been my saving grace. I will forever remember Melanie as one of those people that ensured my story and my voice was heard.
Melanie Quinn's professionalism, solution focused stance and her no nonsense approach, her ability to empathise and sound legal knowledge saw me through a very complex and mentally draining divorce/ financial proceedings.Melanie was there even when I wanted to give up due to my fears that I could no longer afford the costs ( which at times was born out of the fact that the ex wanted to continue to financially abuse me) she helped rationalise my thinking and there is absolutely no doubt that it has all been worth it. Due to her diligence and clear advice and realistic goals , her ability to match me with the right barristers , we successfully arrived at an outcome that I never expected. She went out of her way to help me with how I was feeling at any given point and she didn't have to do it. I felt safe to off load about things I had never done before to her and she was patient and fair and non judgemental when it mattered. That, no money can ever buy.
Representation from Stowe Family Law as a whole has allowed me to start thinking about my new beginnings. I thank you Melanie and to all that had any role to play on my case. I would highly recommend Melanie Quinn and Stowe Family Law as a whole.

Gemma Windle with her legal kniwledge and constant support helped me break through a seemingly impossible financial agreement situation. The terms are now agreed and a Consent Order given.

Charlotte Brown and the team at Stowe Family Law have been brilliant since day 1. When I came to them I had been contemplating self representation due to costs, but allowing them to help has been worth every penny.
When I instructed Charlotte I was depleted and terrified, dealing with a very difficult ex partner and on my own in the UK with no family support. Charlotte was calm and patient throughout every hurdle and was a listening ear many times. I felt very much shielded from conflict as well as far as possible which I am extremely grateful for.
Stowe also have an excellent range of barristers and the ones we used were extremely professional, excellent negotiators and worked to help find logical solutions that would get us closer to the last step. Charlotte alongside the barristers were especially good at also helping me see the bigger picture rather than just telling me what I wanted to hear which in turn has led to a very positive outcome. I still have the last order to get to but we're pretty much there and the solution is the best one for my daughter which was the main focus every step of the way.

I found Melanie very knowledgeable and helping with the legal advice with regards to my divorce. Wouldn't hesitate in recommending her services.

Reply from Stowe Family Law - St Albans
Charlotte supported me with children and financial matters following separation from my husband. Throughout, she was empathetic and had extensive knowledge of the processes, and gave consideration to all potential outcomes, giving sound advice.
My situation with the children had an element of 'Time is of the Essence' which Charlotte always kept in mind with quick response times, and I believe because of that I was able to get to where I needed to with my case.
I would highly recommend Charlotte Treves and Stowe Family Law, and would use them again should I ever need to!
Thank You!
