I was advised to see Sarah by another solicitor and I would thoroughly recommend Sarah Barr Young of Stowe Family Law having used her services for my divorce immediately prior to and during the COVID pandemic of 2020/21. Sarah really took all the stress out of my divorce by her holistic and caring manner, her communication with me was fantastic during this time, and she dealt with everything in a timely, efficient and reassuring way. She was always ready for any questions I had, and usually answered them before I even had to ask. I will be forever grateful for her services over this time.

The level of service I received from Stowe Family Law was incredible, through a particularly difficult chapter. Both Sarah Barr-Young and Claire Chisnall are exceptional advocates, and I would not give it a second thought in using their services again should I have the need.
