Our Leeds family law solicitors were approached by a client who had received an unexpected solicitor’s letter from their ex-partner. Legal action was threatened if the client did not agree to put their ex-partner’s name on the deeds to their house.
Understandably upset by the threat of legal action, the client decided to look online for any help they could find. They had never needed legal advice before, so they felt unsure about who could help them. After speaking to us on the phone, they felt reassured about the support we could offer.
The client spoke to Zoe Cross, a solicitor based in Stowe’s Leeds office. Zoe’s approach in the first meeting and throughout the process was to make things as straightforward and manageable as possible. Zoe was there to offer guidance and support and help make the client feel in control of the process.
We are delighted to say that by working with Zoe, the client was able to successfully challenge the claim. The ex-partner’s attempt to gain a share of the property was dismissed, and Stowe was able to recover money from the ex-partner, easing the pressure on the client during an already stressful time.
The client felt supported from start to finish with Stowe Family Law and commented:
“I would not hesitate to recommend Zoe Cross and Stowe, they act with the utmost integrity and navigated a very difficult situation in a way that I honestly think other solicitors would have struggled to succeed. My ex-partner had access to unlimited funds, whereas I did not, and Zoe still managed to ensure we came out on top from the situation. Thank you again.”
