What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

This London family law practice draws consistent praise for the way its solicitors combine technical command with genuine care in fraught divorce and financial proceedings. Pooja Patel is named more often than any colleague, described as approachable, reassuring and legally assured, able to explain financial orders and clean break orders in plain terms and to keep clients updated at every stage. Her consent order drafting is singled out for identifying important elements that had previously been overlooked. Rosanna Hounslow appears regularly alongside her, credited with dedication in achieving settlements on financial matters without resorting to court, while Shivi Rajput is valued for thoroughness, proactivity and understanding during a difficult separation.

Several other solicitors, including Siobhan Vegh, Callie Collins and Subecca Seikh, are remembered for unhurried first meetings, patient answers and a restored sense of direction after earlier setbacks. A recurring observation concerns the firm's client focus and preparation across lengthy contested proceedings, and reviewers also record generous guidance offered even when a case was not taken on. The empathetic handling of acrimonious disputes over assets is a theme that stays with clients long after their matters conclude.

Absolutely awful! The only reason they have good reviews here is because they ask clients to leave a review after the first meeting. They are absolutely terrible! I suggest that all clients keep a close eye on their bill breakdowns because they make lots of "mistakes" when charging their clients. This company is the worst option you could choose! I bet they will respond to this review faster than they respond to my emails. They do not respect their clients' instructions and take ages to reply to even a simple email. Their priority seems to be prolonging matters rather than resolving their clients' problems, allowing them to charge more fees. I had the worst experience of my life with a solicitor at this company.

I cannot recommend Pooja Patel highly enough. From start to finish, Pooja was professional, compassionate, and incredibly supportive throughout my case. She kept me informed every step of the way, explained everything clearly, and was always approachable and reassuring. Her expertise, dedication, and genuine care made a very stressful situation much easier to manage. Thank you, Pooja, for all of your hard work and support. I am truly grateful and would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone in need of an outstanding solicitor.

Top notch service from Siobhan Vegh, Callie Collins and the team at Stowe Family Law. They were my solicitors through a protracted and highly contested set of proceedings. Their client focus and technical knowledge were on point and, they delivered every time. I cannot recommend them highly enough when it comes to Family Law matters.

I had an initial consultation with Pooja regarding my divorce and was very impressed with her professionalism and knowledge. She took the time to understand my situation in detail and explained the divorce process in a clear and straightforward way. She answered all of my questions patiently and made sure I understood the legal aspects, particularly around financial orders, clean break orders, and what steps I should take next. I appreciated that she gave practical advice tailored to my circumstances rather than simply explaining the law in general. She was honest about what she could advise on and recommended speaking to an immigration solicitor for the immigration aspects of my case, which gave me confidence that she was acting in my best interests. Throughout the consultation, she was approachable, compassionate, and easy to talk to. I left the meeting feeling much more informed and with a clear understanding of the next steps. I would highly recommend Pooja to anyone looking for clear, professional, and supportive family law advice.

cannot speak highly enough of Ciara Pugh and Rebecca Bridson at Stowe Family Law. I came to them in the middle of an absolute crisis, having been severely let down by my previous solicitors who had botched critical paperwork and missed a vital court notice. From the moment Ciara and Rebecca took over the file, the difference in professionalism, strategic thinking, and urgency was night and day. They immediately identified the procedural errors made by the previous firm (specifically regarding expert testing applications) and worked tirelessly to rectify them and get my case back on track. Rebecca’s attention to detail and clear communication kept me grounded during an incredibly stressful time, and Ciara’s leadership ensured we secured excellent counsel on very short notice. As someone who works in a heavily regulated industry where compliance and risk management are paramount, I deeply appreciated their transparent billing and completely objective, evidence-based legal strategy. If you need a family law team that will protect your interests with precision and absolute competence, I highly recommend Ciara and Rebecca.

We have had an excellent experience with Stowe Family Law, particularly with Shivi Rajput and Pooja Patel. Throughout this process, they have both been incredibly professional, thorough, proactive, and understanding. Their support and guidance during such a difficult and emotional time has meant a great deal to my mother and myself They have consistently communicated clearly, paid close attention to detail, and made us feel genuinely supported every step of the way. What stands out most is not only their expertise, but also their empathy and care towards their clients. We truly appreciate all of their hard work and dedication so far and would highly recommend Stowe Family Law to anyone needing family law support Aiya and Mrs Sheikh

Words can not describe the experience I had with Subecca Seikh, Associate Solicitor at Stowe family firm. Our first meeting is unforgettable and this made the high fees worth it for me. She took her time to listen and explained things in detail, and checked at intervals to ensure I understood what she was saying. This meeting gave me a sense of hope, as she highlighted what has been going wrong with my divorce case, and tried her best to fix it. Thank you Subecca !!!
