Child Arrangement Order

I instructed Rachael Harwin following the breakdown of a previous Child Arrangement Order. From the initial meeting Rachael put me completely at ease. It became quite a complex case, but her knowledge, kindness and transparency throughout has made a truly challenging and awful time somewhat bearable, and the incredibly positive outcome has reflected all of the hard work she has put in over the past months. I cannot thank Rachael enough, she was patient and genuinely cared for the outcome, and went above and beyond for my family. Rachael has played a massive part in changing my children's lives, and I could not recommend her or Stowe Family Law enough to anyone in my position.

Absolute Lifesavers

I used Stowe in 2022 for a family matter and it was one of the best decisions I've made. Predictable and accurate costings, break-neck speed of response and accuracy and thorough knowledge of all relevant legal aspects. My counsel was able to clearly explain all aspects of the process and what to expect. Perhaps her single biggest skill was dealing with the opposing party who was a completely unreasonable individual. The outcome was a completely perfect resolution of the case in my favour. I would not hesitate to use the firm again. Wonderful all round.

Bank robbery the legal way .

Recently gone through a divorce I made the big mistake of using stow family law as my solicitor . And my ex wife used one of the other big names in Harrogate her bill at the end was less than half my bill .
For better service . All this lot are bothered about is what assets you have and how much they can out off you . Don't be fooled your interest is the last thing on there mind . Once they know what you have in assets they won't stop and till they get the lot . please be warned . I should of known when the office was empty all the time I never saw another customer in there . Please be warned and go elsewhere .

Fantastic professional service with good advice and feedback

Handled my divorce case well from a difficult position after leaving a different solicitor half way though the divorce. I was given good advice and direct feedback to help my decisions in how to proceed.

I only wish I had used them from the start.

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.

Court litigation

My husband insisted on conducting the whole divorce via the courts and wouldn’t engage in any form of mediation. Rosanna Hounslowe and Asieh Salehzehi were enormously supportive, diligent and attentive to the particular issues inherent in my case and relationship with my husband. Untimely they achieved a great result for me and my children and have enabled me to get on with my new life in the knowledge that I am financially secure and a fair deal has been reached. I will be eternally grateful.

A Truly Caring and Skilled Family Law Firm

I cannot recommend Stowe Family Law highly enough for their exceptional service and support throughout my family law case. From start to finish, the team was professional, compassionate, and incredibly knowledgeable. They made a difficult and emotional process much more manageable, offering clear advice and helping me understand every step.

A special thank you to Sophie Thayre—she was truly outstanding. Sophie went above and beyond in providing tailored legal guidance, always taking the time to listen and address my concerns. Her empathy, patience, and attention to detail made a world of difference, and I always felt confident that I was in the best hands.

If you're looking for a family law solicitor who genuinely cares about their clients and delivers top-notch legal expertise, I would highly recommend Sophie and the entire team at Stowe Family Law. They provided not just legal advice, but real peace of mind during a challenging time.

Divorcing a narcissist can be more difficult than being married to one.
Thankfully I took a friend’s advice to get the best solicitor firm in Harrogate.
A huge thank you to Kate Sarsfield for being there every step of the way throughout a very difficult divorce and for choosing a great barrister.
Also to everyone at Stowe’s family law who helped and was always there to answer any questions.

A quote that says everything about my divorce:

Whoever said money can’t buy happiness clearly never paid for a divorce.

From a very happy client.

Having to go through the most traumatic experience of my life I was really grateful to have Kate Sarsfield by my side. She understood my problems both from a sympathetic personal point of view but also with a full understanding of my rights within the law. She dealt with all of my issues with my ex partner with nothing but professionalism, even though it took a very long time to get to the end she always had time to discuss and advise on my concerns. Thanks Kate.

I dealt with Kate at Stowe Family Law for over 2 years whilst sorting out financial matters with my ex partner and his family. From the start, Kate filled me with confidence and handled matters very professionally - despite my ex being very difficult to communicate with. Kate made sure I approved of all steps taken and I would 100% recommend their services. Thank you for helping me move on with my life!
