Stowe Family Law LLP

My solicitor was actually very good and she reviewed some paperwork for me with some minor amendments, then another solicitor, without my knowledge, took a look and removed some vital information from the document, i complained about this and they called to discuss which i was of course charged for.
I had an email asking for £3200, the next day they asked for £3800.
I got fed up and said i would act in person, asked for all my paperwork and an invoice.
I got an invoice which was almost £5000. I paid this but received no paperwork.
They sent the acting in person notice to the other party with private personal information which they should not have shared, they retracted this but didn't tell me and also did not submit a revised copy.
I made a complaint about all of this and got a generic business filled lingo response.
I asked for my paperwork several weeks later and they said i have another invoice to pay, why do i have yet another invoice to pay when i already asked for an invoice and paid it!!
They also instructed a barrister for me and i did not receive an invoice for this.
Absolutely disgusting way to treat a client, i paid 10k for a first hearing and reviewing of a statement, they were not transparent about pricing

At a very difficult time l have felt supported and my interests are really being taken care of x

Googled to find a decent Family Law Solicitors and they came up with good ratings.
Very good advice and couldn't expect anything more tbh, cost a little more than I had budgeted for but no complaints

Divorce is an emotionally painful process to go through and each case is different. Since Vicki took on my case which had been delayed because of Covid and pensions I finally found someone who was clear on what needed to be done, clear on what it meant to me in non legal terms, empathic and understanding. This process isn’t cheap not all cases are done and dusted in weeks. Mine took nearly 4 years but I’m glad I had Vicki and Stowes representing me. I lost a year through firms not willing to take me through the pension minefield in divorce situations. So I am grateful. I would recommend them to anybody.

Liza and her team were quite frankly outstanding and I would recommend them to anyone. They always gave clear easy to follow advice and would always go the extra distance to achieve an agreeable outcome. I am very grateful for their time and effort.

I felt daunted with the task of finding the right Divorce Specialist to help me during 'one of life's most stressful events'. After checking the reviews of two local companies mentioned to me who specialise in Family Law, I came across the excellent reviews and ratings of Stowe Family Law LLP. and once I had taken the plunge and contacted them I felt so relieved. My initial telephone consultation with Liza Gatrell was informative, reassuring and very importantly transparent with regard to costs going forward and I am so grateful knowing I will have her help during the inevitable grisly stages of dividing assets and proceeding to divorce.

This review is for a different branch.

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.
