Divorce for footballers, top sports professionals & athletes

Thank you so much for all your support and advice during a difficult 11 months. You have been a solicitor, counsellor and even managed to get some laughs through the tears and traumas. I feel a totally different person to the one that came into the office last year and you have played a big part in that.

I had occasion to use Emma’s services in respect of some post-divorce matters of a complicated nature. I found Emma’s advice to be clearly and concisely articulated, unequivocal and decisive. Emma answered my queries clearly and helped me to develop a tactical position which resulted in a very positive, successful outcome from my point of view. I wish that Emma had been my legal advisor at the point of divorce as I have no doubt that many of the complications that arose subsequently would have been avoided. There is no doubt in my mind that Emma is a very talented and knowledgeable lawyer. She has an excellent manner with clients, is clear and articulate in her dealings and confident in achieving the best outcomes for clients. Importantly she is able to build strategic or tactical cases in the best interests of the paying client. I have no hesitation in recommending Emma and consider her services to be first class.

Amy and all of her colleagues with whom I interacted, including Amy’s secretary, were always caring, thorough, professional and highly effective. I would have no hesitation at all in recommending Amy, and Stowe Family Law, to others.

I was very uncertain going into my divorce settlement negotiations, and it is only thanks to Theo’s support that I followed through with the process. The result has been life-changing for me, and I will always be grateful to Theo and the Stowe team for their balanced application of knowledge and kindness.

Julian Hawkhead at Stowe Family Law dealt with my divorce efficiently, very tactfully and kindly. I am most grateful for his guidance and the actions he took on my behalf. Just to mention one thing, without help I would have struggled greatly to understand seemingly self-contradictory divorce law.

Extremely conscientious and supportive of her clients

My initial contact with Stowe Family Law was at a free initial consultation at their Ilkley office. I was caught up in a very unhappy marriage and had the needs of a very young child to consider. I was fortunate enough to be seen by Amy Foweather, who listened carefully to my situation and gave me some very practical advice as to the choices that lay ahead of me, and the personal/financial impact that each of those choices would entail. Amy did not attempt to give me the "hard sell" or persuade me down a particular route; rather she equipped me with the information I needed, and her contact details, and allowed me time to come to my own decision. When I finally found the opportunity to leave my marriage last thing on a Friday afternoon, Amy was there on the end of the phone and waited late in the office to meet me and my son on our way to take refuge with my parents. She kick-started the legal process immediately, providing reassurance and advice every step of the way. At each stage of the divorce and ensuing custody/financial proceedings, she has gone above and beyond my expectations and has been a champion for my cause all the way, even when I myself sometimes had lost faith or was fearful of next steps. Amy and all of her colleagues with whom I interacted, including Amy's secretary, were always caring, thorough, professional and highly effective. I would have no hesitation at all in recommending Amy, and Stowe Family Law, to others.
