Great support at a very difficult time

I initially spoke to Jennifer at the start of the separation with to my husband using the free initially chat as I was lost and needed some advice on my options (his choice not mine). She was empathetic and gave me a useful starting point. As things progressed for the worse I got back in touch. She had been always on the ball and friendly and given me some great advice along the way and made sure I was aware of my options and made sure I chose the best way forward for me and my kids. I couldn't of got through it without her advice especially as I felt like everything was out of control she grounded me and it meant me and the kids could stay in the family home till we felt ready to move on with our lives as a family of 3.

Professional and knowledgeable

Going through a divorce is whole new world and very stressful with many emotions involved. Zoe helped me to understand the process and worked with me to pro-actively settle my divorce. Unfortunately the other party was not very co-operative and Zoe guided me through the applicable court process to bring matters to a close. She selected a very good barrister and briefed him well, which led to a satisfactory result, and closure. I also really appreciated the continuity that Stowe provided. When Zoe was not available another solicitor was to keep proceedings going.

An excellent professional partner

I am often instructed by Zoe Carter at Stowe. She is accessible, has great insight into her cases, prepares good briefs and, best of all, is personally a pleasure to work with.

Completely Satisfied with the service

After spending years using another solicitor to deal with my case, that solicitor stopped practising child law so I needed to find another solicitor who was at least as good, if not better. After scouring the review sites we came across Zoe Carter at Stowe Family Law, and am I ever glad we did?
Zoe set me at ease right from the start, going through the various aspects of my case, highlighting which parts were strong and which parts were not. She provided an estimate and breakdown of the potential costs of the case, including variations depending on how many court hearings there might be, this estimate turned out the be pretty accurate at the conclusion.
The case was particularly difficult, we were seeking 50/50 shared care but the other party would not budge or compromise on any aspect, and halfway through an issue with secondary school applications arose which had to be added to the case. Additionally the initial CAFCASS report was not entirely favourable to our case, which added some complication.
In the end Zoe and the Barrister she appointed to represent me in court, managed to get pretty much everything we wanted at the outset.
Zoe was always happy to respond to queries, in or out of hours, including responding to panicked texts or voicemails in the middle of the night or weekend, which was provided a high level of comfort.
I cannot thank Zoe enough, I really wish I had found her years ago as the issues we were facing may have been settled way back then. You really don't realise how good or bad your current solicitor is until you find one who is head and shoulders above them in terms of service and knowledge.
I would highly recommend Zoe Carter for any separated parent wanting the best outcome for their children, I could not be happier with the outcome.

I really am so thankful to my solicitor at Stowe family law and to the company in general. They took my case on with no hesitation, even though it was an overseas divorce. Because it was an overseas divorce it took a lot longer than I believe it should usually take it and a lot more money too, but they were always very up front with me about everything. My solicitor Zoe was thorough, professional, kind and was always very honest with me. She kept me up to date regularly with what was happening with my case through emails and by phone. It has now been finalised and I would just like to say thank you so much for your support and help, I highly recommend Stowe family law and Zoe who works there.

I had to use Stowe Family Law during the latter months of 2020 and I couldn't have been happier with the help & guidance received from Zoe who dealt with my case. With her guidance and understanding of the matter at hand, her help prevented me accepting an order that would have seen me £4,000+ out of pocket that I was unable to see myself. My advise would be to anyone to use this company and request Zoe for yourself - there is no point trying to tackle these sort of things yourself when you can get affordable, professional & immediate assistance with this firm. I hope to never have to use these guys again, but should I need to - I wouldn't hesitate to pick up the phone.

Louise Chipchase dealt with my divorce in a professional and timely manner. Despite the restrictions we have all been working under, I felt Louise and her assistant made me feel nothing was too much trouble, which instilled confidence in how I felt the process was being handled. I would definitely recommend their services.
