For over 10 years I have had excellent and compassionate support from Hawkins Family Law, now part of Stowe Family Law.

I cannot fault Stowe solicitors. This is the second time I’ve used them, and had exceptional service from the minute I got on the call to enquire to the end of the meetings I’ve had. The first time I was with them was to do with a split with my ex partner where we had an initial strategy call a d subsequent service to arrange a declaration of trust, which was an easy and flawless task. The second time was with Melanie Quinn who gave my dad (and I) advice prior to us entering a mediation he has with his ex partner regarding a split of two houses he owns with her. Would not hesitate to recommend Stowe, and I never write reviews!!!

Charlotte Brown
Sep 2023
Charlotte Brown and the team at Stowe Family Law have been brilliant since day 1. When I came to them I had been contemplating self representation due to costs, but allowing them to help has been worth every penny.
When I instructed Charlotte I was depleted and terrified, dealing with a very difficult ex partner and on my own in the UK with no family support. Charlotte was calm and patient throughout every hurdle and was a listening ear many times. I felt very much shielded from conflict as well as far as possible which I am extremely grateful for.
Stowe also have an excellent range of barristers and the ones we used were extremely professional, excellent negotiators and worked to help find logical solutions that would get us closer to the last step. Charlotte alongside the barristers were especially good at also helping me see the bigger picture rather than just telling me what I wanted to hear which in turn has led to a very positive outcome. I still have the last order to get to but we're pretty much there and the solution is the best one for my daughter which was the main focus every step of the way.
