When I was going through the worst time…

When I was going through the worst time in my life, I was fortunate enough to speak to Mr Le-Core. He listened and reassured me that I would be ok and went above and beyond in making that happen. I had no previous experience in dealing with courts and solicitors and he would always check in on me and make sure I was personally ok and not just for the courts and law purposes. As my court date got closer, I was helped to understand what would be happening and how Stowe Family Law would be there for me. Mr Le-Core sought out and found the best barrister for me and also made sure he spoke to me so that I was comfortable with everything happening. All 17+ allegations were dismissed and my ex was found to have told “untruths”. Truly without Mr Le-Core and his team at Stowe Family law I don’t think I would have coped. His honesty and professionalism are second to none and the best thing I have ever done is to pick up the phone to speak to him. Even now he calls to make sure I am ok and ask about my children. Thank you Mr Le-Core, I will never have enough words to describe what you have done for me and my children.

Exceptional Trust and Professionalism

My experience with Stowe Family Law, specifically working with my lawyer, Jenine Imms, has been nothing short of exceptional.

Navigating a family law matter is incredibly difficult, but having them as my partner made such a big difference and providing a much needed calming influence.

The entire team, and Jenine in particular, have been incredibly supportive and understanding. They provided me with invaluable advice and recommendations throughout the process. What truly set them apart was their focus on delivering what I needed to hear, rather than just what I wanted to hear.

This commitment to honesty and sound judgment instantly established them as a highly trustworthy partner during what has been a deeply challenging period.

I found Jenine Imms to be the perfect balance of professionalism and heart. She was always accessible, maintaining a high level of professionalism while managing to balance empathy and her commitment to being an outstanding lawyer. She guided me through complex decisions with clarity and kindness, ensuring that I felt supported without compromising the quality of the legal advice.

I cannot recommend Stowe Family Law and Jenine Imms highly enough. They are a genuinely exceptional firm.

Highly professional team

I highly recommend Ashley, my solicitor for the child relocation case. So many times we have to prepare the documents in a short time, and Ashley and the team always act promptly and give me very helpful advices. And I can't thank him and the barrister enough to support me through the hearings. It was tough, and I was so luck to have such great team to support me.

My experience with Stowe Family Law LLP…

My experience with Stowe Family Law LLP was nothing short of appalling. I came to them at the most vulnerable time of my life. After my daughter was removed from me by her mother for no reason whatsoever, I put my trust in Stowe Family Law to help reunite us. What I received instead was financial exploitation, zero results, and an outrageous £33,000 bill that drained my entire savings.

For all that money, I got some bundles of paperwork, a few back-and-forth emails, and the occasional phone call — nothing that justified the extortionate fees they charged. After three court cases with Stowe Family Law, I was no closer to seeing my daughter than when I started. In the end, I had to represent myself, and within one hearing, I won.

The judge agreed with everything I presented and even told my daughter’s mother that her behaviour was nothing short of disgraceful. So, after all that time and money, Stowe Family Law delivered nothing. A complete waste.

It doesn’t stop there. After leaving me financially ruined, Stowe Family Law had the audacity to chase me for a further £3,431. I couldn’t afford it then, and I still can’t afford it now. I tried to pay £50 a month — which was difficult enough given the financial hole they left me in — but they still pushed ahead with a County Court Judgment.

To be fair, one of their staff members, Ashley Le-Core, was polite and professional. But let’s not sugar-coat it — despite his kindness, the goal was always the same: get the money.

I wouldn’t recommend Stowe Family Law to anyone. They take advantage of vulnerable people at their lowest, offer little in return, and leave you worse off than when you started. Absolutely disgraceful.

Dear J F,

We’re sorry that your experience with us did not meet your expectations. We understand that family law cases, particularly those involving children, can be an incredibly stressful and emotional journey. Our goal is always to provide clear legal guidance and support during these challenging times.

We ensured you were fully informed about costs at each stage. We appreciate that legal fees can be difficult, which is why we agreed to a long-term payment plan. However, when payments remained outstanding, our accounts team had to take further steps, as is standard procedure.

We never want a client to feel let down, and we would be happy to discuss any concerns you may have. Please do get in touch at 01892 521711

Feedback about legal advice

The two solicitors I dealt with at Stowe were, firstly, very helpful with their legal advice. Perhaps, just as importantly, they were also compassionate in their approach. I really appreciated their calm, considerate approach to dealing with difficult and sensitive issues. Their communications to the other side were also calm and measured which was noticeable given that the responses were, at times, aggressive and combative in tone. The difference between the approaches was marked. Their support and approach has been greatly appreciated.

Outstanding Support and Expertise in Family Law

I cannot recommend Stowe Family Law highly enough for their exceptional service and support throughout my family law case. From start to finish, the team was professional, compassionate, and incredibly knowledgeable. They made a difficult and emotional process much more manageable, offering clear advice and helping me understand every step.

A special thank you to Sophie Thayre—she was truly outstanding. Sophie went above and beyond in providing tailored legal guidance, always taking the time to listen and address my concerns. Her empathy, patience, and attention to detail made a world of difference, and I always felt confident that I was in the best hands.

If you're looking for a family law solicitor who genuinely cares about their clients and delivers top-notch legal expertise, I would highly recommend Sophie and the entire team at Stowe Family Law. They provided not just legal advice, but real peace of mind during a challenging time.

Professional and knowledgeable

Today, I spoke with Samantha Edwards. She was knowledgeable and professional and able to explain my options moving forward - at what can be a very difficult time. It was clear that her legal expertise provides a service which is second-to-none. I very much appreciated her time and will go back to her when I need a legal representative as I feel totally confident that she would be my best possible choice for representation.

Avoid this lot

Avoid this lot. £40k down on legal fees and we haven’t even been to court as they kept on suggesting cost effective ways forward. They were so cost effective that they submitted a D81 form to the court without a single word of motivation for my case - no mention that I have a special needs daughter who will spend her life with me! No surprises that the judge declined the submission. Stowe’s explanation was that judges don’t like to read!!! They then charged me to try and fix their botch up - now with a lengthy and very wordy explanation to the judge. They get their facts woefully wrong and even had the temerity to suggest I sign a statement saying that Stowe did not make an error - I know my case and provided proof of their error. Another “draft” arrived with a statement saying that I had agreed there was full and frank disclosure from the other side when in fact that is one of the crucial problems in the case as disclosure was sorely lacking. They just keep billing for their errors! It beggars belief.

Fantastic highly recommended

My experience was great I couldn’t fault them. I originally spoke to a lady who listened to me and then sent my details to a colleague that was more suited for what I needed. I Was put in contact with Sophie. wasn’t able to have much contact on the phone as I work shifts, but Sophie was great she accommodated me and we spoke via email and if I needed to call I could and I did. Great advice really knew what she was talking about and I asked a lot of questions. But everything was explained and she made me feel better and not stupid asking them questions. Was comforting to know. And I really felt like she cared. And thanks to her I managed to get the outcome I was hoping for. Thank you Sophie highly recommend. Couldn’t fault her. Great communication always responded either straight away or the next day.
