Imrana is fantastic
My legal proceedings have finally come to a conclusion, after three court hearings. Imrana has been by my side throughout this process and I am delighted to say that justice has been served! I'm thrilled to have the result that my son and I deserve, and I couldn't have done this alone - I can't describe my gratitude for the help, support and advice provided by Imrana at Stowe.
My case was highly complex, involving some really difficult and manipulative tactics from the opposition throughout. The situation has caused me to experience huge amounts of stress, but with Imrana in my corner I never lost hope, felt reassured, listened to and represented to the highest standard - she has been invaluable.
Three years ago, I had no idea how I was going to get through the minefield of access denial, false allegations and parental alienation. Imrana has got me through it all, and today I can happily say my son and I can start the rest of our lives. Imrana at Stowe has changed my life with her legal representation - I highly recommend her services to anyone needing help with a legal family matter. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would - I'm over the moon!

I met Hayley for the first time. She was very natural , calm and professional. She was prepared and kind over my haphazard paperwork. By the end of the interview she was able to give me clear help with the way forward.
The whole experience was positive and supportive.

Amor fati
I am a woman in my 30's finding myself in a position I wasn't ready for or expecting, I'd felt rather lost and needing support and direction. I had spoken to Sara Morton regarding my situation who was professional, and knowledgeable however what I valued most was her overall approach, I didn't just feel like another case or another number; she listened carefully, she noticed small details like the changes in how I spoke about certain things, she created a space that felt warm and inviting despite everything. In a period of my life which has felt chaotic, that initial meeting gave me everything I needed to start breathing calmly again.

My experience has been amazing
My experience has been amazing.
Stowe has helped me with a case that was sensitive throughout.
The communication and service I got was absolutely on point and was informed of all stages of the process right up to the final part.
I was informed of the cost estimate before committing which I found very good and made for no surprises.
I would highly recommend Stowe to act for you.
Penni-jo was very practical in all she said and followed what I wanted. She was very professional in the case.
Vicky was absolutely amazing, the care and comfort she provides within cases is absolutely mind blowing.
I’d rate higher than 5 stars if I could!!!
Highly recommend!

Chelcie Evans Wonderful
I have been working with Chelcie Evans who has been absolutely outstanding. She is so knowledgeable and puts me at ease. I feel heard and understood and the case has been well managed by the team at Stowe.
Family court is so tricky and difficult but I feel that I have full support from Chelcie and Stowe and since working with them I feel so much more able to navigate the system, it’s no longer a mystery.

Beyond grateful for Imrana and Sarah — exceptional expertise and true peace of mind
I honestly don’t know how I would have gotten through such a challenging process without Imrana and Sarah at Stowe Family Law.
From day one, they were so much more than just my legal team. They truly listened, understood the weight of the situation, and brought a level of genuine empathy that gave me huge peace of mind when things felt overwhelming.
At every stage, they provided sharp, clear guidance, handled complex details with meticulous efficiency, and kept me informed every step of the way.
Imrana and Sarah are an absolute power team—fiercely professional, highly responsive, and deeply compassionate. They protected my peace of mind and fought tirelessly to secure a clear, fair outcome so I could move forward with confidence.
I am deeply grateful for everything they’ve done for me and cannot recommend them highly enough.
Truly 5 star in every way, not just as solicitors but people who genuinely care about you as a person.

Very impressed with Alex and the team at Stowe. They helped me with my family court case and I don't think I would of got the result I did without their help.

Insightful, clear and patient
I predominately worked with Kate Whelan (associate) after searching for a trusted law firm
It was a pleasure to work with Kate, as I felt she was the most insightful practitioner I'd came across when searching law firms
Kate's replies were prompt and very clear from the initial teams call, all the way through to our final exchange
Kate showed patience throughout, which not only helped me remain logical in my decision making on my file but helped me find peace in the next steps

Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mercedes King-Jones…
I cannot recommend Mercedes King-Jones highly enough. From the very first meeting, she was understanding, patient and genuinely empathetic, taking the time to listen without judgement while guiding me through what was an incredibly difficult period.
From having spoken with other lawyers initially, it struck me that what sets Mercedes apart is her ability to see the bigger picture. She understands not only the legal aspects of family matters but also the emotional and practical realities that clients face. She explains everything clearly, making complex issues easy to understand, and always ensures you feel informed and supported throughout the process.
Her advice is refreshingly pragmatic and honest. Rather than simply telling you what you want to hear, Mercedes provided me with realistic guidance, explains the likely outcomes, and helps you make decisions with confidence. I always felt that she had my best interests at heart and that I could trust her judgement completely from the outset.

Exceptional Support During a Difficult Time
A friend recommended Stowe Family Law to me, and I feel incredibly grateful that Zanariah represented me.
When I first met her, I was overwhelmed, anxious and emotional. From the very beginning, she was kind, compassionate and incredibly professional. She immediately put me at ease, listened without judgment, and made me feel heard, understood and reassured.
Throughout the entire process, Zanariah and her team have been exceptionally caring, responsive and meticulous. What has meant the most to me was the care and dedication they showed during one of the most difficult moments of my case. Knowing there were concerns about my husband's reaction after he learned I had filed divorce, Zanariah worked tirelessly behind the scenes to coordinate everything needed to protect both my legal position and my personal safety. Her calm, thoughtful and proactive approach gave me enormous reassurance at a time when I felt incredibly vulnerable.
I will always be grateful for the kindness, professionalism and genuine care that Zanariah and her team have shown me. They made an incredibly difficult experience much more manageable , and I would not hesitate to recommend Stowe Family Law to anyone looking for expert legal advice combined with compassion and humanity.

Kate McCarthy was my solicitor today
Kate McCarthy was my solicitor today. I bombarded her with questions ahead of the appointment which she covered thoroughly with me and explained how a court and judge is likely to see my situation and then some suggestions on additional things I hadn't considered. It's helpful talking it through with someone with that level of experience and understanding. Kate was non judgemental and made me feel supported throughout and helped me with calculations based on my worries of best and worse case scenarios. And explained was is and what isn't possible. Just knowing these potential outcomes in a horrible and difficult divorce process really helps you to come up with the best path for yourself. The appointment ran over and she answered my questions on email. Thank you for your help today Kate x
