I will be forever grateful for what Jemma Slavin and her team in Bristol have done for me and my children. Jemma is a top-class Lawyer that really knows her stuff. She is professional, personable, quick to respond and above all always knew what the right legal advice was, and she was always 1 step ahead of my husband’s Lawyer. It is thanks to her legal advice and persistence that gave me and my children a better outcome then I could ever have imagined. But most importantly my children can now continue their life growing up with the right support and living in the area familiar to them and close to their school and friends. Could not recommend Stowe enough, they are amazing!

I was advised to use Jemma Slavin at Stowe whilst going through an extremely difficult and lengthy divorce. Jemma was amazing. Jemma gave brilliant advice, was able to set my mind at ease when difficult situations arose and more than anything was totally approachable and available like a friend if ever I was struggling. My divorce was a very bitter one however I felt in completely safe hands and comforted by the fact that I knew I had the best representation I could get. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jemma to anyone needing a family lawyer. I am out the other side now and cannot thank Jemma and her team enough for such great support, professionalism and basically getting me the result I hoped for.
