A parent involved in a child arrangements case urgently contacted our London legal team following a disappointing experience with another law firm. The client simply didn’t know what to do and was panicked as their court hearing was just days away. She needed a team of child law specialists that would provide clear advice quickly and deliver results under pressure.
How we helped
One of our family law solicitors was given the case on the same day we received the enquiry. Barbara Marques is highly experienced in child arrangements and parental dispute cases and rapidly reviewed the case. After identifying the key issues, she was able to brief our new client about the upcoming court date.
As well as making sure our client was fully informed and supported ahead of the hearing, we also kept an eye on costs, providing clear updates if additional steps were required. The client praised not only the speed and quality of legal work but also the honesty, care, and professionalism shown by the entire team.
Supported through an urgent child arrangements case
Although unusually quick action was needed in this case, our team did not disappoint. The client was very pleased, describing the support they received as “outstanding” and that they were “beyond grateful”.
Our client felt we were a significant improvement on their previous law firm and concluded by saying:
“I would highly recommend Stowe to anyone needing legal advice/support”.
