Ashleigh and Philip were professional
Ashleigh and Philip were professional, responsive and pragmatic throughout a very long-running financial remedy case.
Ashleigh and Philip took the time to explain each stage clearly, challenged issues with the other side where appropriate, and worked tirelessly to get the matter concluded before the court hearing.
Communication was excellent throughout, and we particularly appreciated the personal telephone call when the Consent Order was approved. Thank you both

I have been a client of Stowe Family…
I have been a client of Stowe Family Law throughout my ongoing divorce which has lasted many years, and I cannot speak highly enough of Pooja Patel.
From the very beginning, Pooja has been outstanding. She has taken the time to explain the law clearly whenever everything felt overwhelming, always offering sound, practical advice and ensuring that progress was made by chasing the other side whenever matters began to stall.
Pooja has been an absolute gem and is a tremendous credit to her department. Her legal expertise is exceptional, but what has made the biggest difference to me is the compassion, understanding, and genuine care she has shown throughout this incredibly difficult process.
She has consistently gone above and beyond what I could have expected from a solicitor. Knowing that I have had Pooja on my side has given me confidence and reassurance during one of the most challenging times of my life.
I am truly grateful for everything Pooja has done for me and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone needing family law advice and representation.

Family Court - Solicitor: Kelsey Faulkner
I honestly can't recommend Stowe Family Law highly enough, especially my solicitor, Kelsey Faulkner.
I got in touch with Stowe just before my first child arrangements hearing and needed help at very short notice. From the moment Kelsey took on my case, I felt like I was in safe hands. I'd never been through anything like this before, so the whole process was pretty overwhelming, but she always took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I knew what to expect.
Kelsey was incredibly well prepared from start to finish. She was calm, organised and completely on top of the details, which gave me a huge amount of confidence. During the hearings, she represented me brilliantly and I always felt she was fighting my corner.
What really stood out, though, was how kind and approachable she was. Family court is a stressful place to find yourself, but she never made me feel like just another client. She genuinely cared, listened when I needed reassurance, and supported me through one of the hardest periods of my life.
The outcome has made a huge difference to the lives of me and my two boys, and I'll always be grateful for everything Kelsey did for us. She's an absolute credit to Stowe Family Law, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone who needs a family solicitor.
