Stowe Family Law - Leeds Reviews 

Superb navigation through a complex family matter always on hand and with excellent advice

Finding someone to deal with a highly emotional and intimidating experience such as a divorce can be incredibly difficult. Thankfully Debbie and all at Stowe Family Law really helped me along the entire process in a human, communicative and efficient way, making the process so much easier to deal with - and gave me my life back! Don't use anybody else.

From start to finish, communication and my experience overall has been great with Stowe's & Hannah Ross specifically, whom was tasked with my case.

From what started as a fixed fee consultation with Hannah, all the way to a final court hearing for child visitation, Hannah has been amazing throughout. With regular updates, advice and compassion for my situation; it was a first class experience.

Whilst Stowe's Family law may be slightly more expensive than the average High Street Solicitors, I would consider it money well spent, even for my less complicated case. It helped reduce stresses greatly, in what is a naturally stressful time.

I had a fixed fee consultation with Cheryl and I was very happy with the service I received. Cheryl was very through, professional and easy to talk to. Even though it was a fixed fee consultation I didn’t feel rushed at all and was listened too. I was given comprehensive advice which was followed by written recommendations, which was also incredibly thorough and easy to understand. It was my first experience with a solicitor and she guided me through everything I needed to know.

Shanika was fantastic and handled my very complex case professionally. She kept me informed every step of the way, ensuring I felt safe in her hands. She was always prompt in getting back to me. I would definitely use Shanika again.Thank you.

Jake provided first class service from the first meeting. He was professional, personable and supportive and helped me understand all the options and potential outcomes available. He was always available on the phone whenever needed to provide practical advice. I would recommend Jake to anyone.

Stowe Family Law have been dealing with my divorce for 18 months .. they’ve been fantastic, can’t recommend them highly enough

Cannot recommend this firm enough!
My personal solicitor was Shanika Varga and from our very first meeting I felt comfortable and assured I was getting the best service.
Going through the family court to gain more access to my two boys was the last thing I wanted to do but ultimately had no choice.
The whole process was made to feel personal to me and caring about my feelings along the way.
I always thought of solicitors being just about the end result and not connected to the case but with Shankia I felt she was with me all the way for support and advice. I felt she really went into my relationship with my children and the outcome I was aiming for. Doing it the right way despite the opposition being abit naughty and trying to bend the rules.
We stuck to our guns and we got the result we wanted the right, honest way.

I am very pleased with the support, skill, guidance and overall professionalism shown to me by my solicitor, his legal assistant and the entire support team, including the customer service to the finance team at Stowe family law LLP.

It was a very difficult period and I was not sure I could proceed with lawyers involved. However, from the start, they were willing to have a brief interview to see if their service would be appropriate for me, and linked me with the solicitor to handle my case going forward: Jake Mitchell. He was brilliant! The case was handled excellently and both parts completed in record time. The efficiency shown was simply fantastic. Especially at such a trying time when things could be trying in more ways than one. I cannot say thank you enough to Jake, Michelle Richardson and the Stowe family Law team. You made this process painless. I would 100% recommend!

Thank you once again!

Very knowledgeable and know their stuff. Really helped me through my divorce and issues I wouldn’t have been able to tackle myself. The only negative for me, is that I felt it could have been resolved much quicker than it was. Perhaps the workload is too high.
All in all, I would recommend Stowe.

My relationship with my solicitor was fantastic from start to finish. A combination of professionalism, expert advise and empathy.

I worked with Jake Mitchell. In a case of trying to see my daughter. Jake was very professional and supportive throughout the case, always keeping me in the loop. As well as advice. In the end we resolved it and I got a result which I was very pleased with.
I fully recommend Stowe Family Law, because everyone I spoke to Jake, Front desk and Jake's colleges whilst Jake was away, where really helpful and supportive.

A* service, Jake was professional and personable. Everything was straightforward and efficient.

Excellent service received from Sarah and Michelle.
They listened to me and acted exactly as required.
Highly recommended.

I needed advice on what my options were regarding protecting the welfare of my children and my rights in custody matters.
Stowe were extremely knowledgeable, helpful and understanding. I would highly recommend their services and believe they have a wealth of knowledge and the right people to deal with complexed family complications. They were empathetic and gave a number of avenues to explore. Very happy with the outcome.

Jake was fantastic throughout dealing with my case. He provided a range of support, advice and reassurance. At times when I felt lost, he was brilliant in providing clarity and methods to move forward and ultimately supported me in achieving the desired outcome.

I was represented by Jake Mitchell from Stowe Family law. I cannot thank him enough for the way in which he represented me and supported me throughout the process. Since day one he was clear and helpful, putting any worries I had to bed and every time I ended a phone call with him I felt I was in safe hands. This was echoed even further during my day in court where prior to even entering the court room he was immediately proactive about the case, speaking to all those involved in order to reach the best possible outcome and showed true passion for what he does. I had absolute trust in his method and advise in order to achieve the best result and he worked magic that I would not have been able to achieve on my own.

Jake has helped secure a great step forward for my sons future as well as helped put in place clear boundaries and understandings between us as parents that will enable us to co-parent better going forward.

Thankyou for all that you have done.

Gemma Thew has represented me in multiple complicated and stressful family law situations. Her advice has always been clear and concise along with having a an immediate expert grasp of any given circumstance. Gemma has the ability to simplify complicated legal procedures and strategised positive steps forward for me, working thoroughly and diligently on my case. Her friendly and highly professional disposition made me feel that I am in good hands and as a result, the stress factor was elevated immediately. Gemma has helped me re establish contact with my children for which I cannot thank her enough. I would highly recommend Gemma’s service’s to any anyone who is in need of any family law guidance and advice.

There's no part of getting a divorce that is easy but Jake at Stowe Family Law made things so much easier than they might otherwise have been. A very professional and caring approach was adopted by the whole team throughout the process. Would recommend without hesitation.

Stowe failed with many aspects of their work whilst handling my case.

They ignored requests I made regarding contact and third party interactions.

They refused provide me with a breakdown of what I had been charged for historically after errors were found in their recent billings to me.

They did not send a DSAR in the allotted timescales when requested and breached ICO regulations. When it was sent they did not deliver it on paper as requested and it did was severely lacking in content.

They misled me in relation to making me pay in full when there was options to be able to pay instalments.

They twice charged around 3k for a half hour long court hearing which even the barrister involved stated the prices I’m paying are astronomical and to look to use another solicitor who does exactly same service but for half the price.

They made numerous errors and were very unapologetic in my complaints, they ignored aspects of the complaint and also accused me of fabricating things (which I had to trawl through emails from 2 years ago to prove them wrong)

I had a terrible experience with this company.
