Eleisha White

They provided clear and practical advice, which made navigating the complexities of divorce much more manageable. Kate is also very helpful and was always available to answer my questions and kept me informed.

I highly recommend to anyone seeking a compassionate, knowledgeable, and reliable solicitor.

My experience with Stow Family Law has been flawless, Kate and Devon provided support, advice and preparation over a very difficult time. I have appreciated every bit of guidance from the whole team, they really listen to the situation at hand, and I am grateful for their caring and professional aptitude and actions throughout. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

Going through a divorce is never easy, however Stowe Family Law and being represented by Lucy Birch and her team, made the process far less stressful than it could have been. Throughout the process Lucy was empathetic, diligent, knowledgeable and professional. I felt she listened and understood exactly what I wanted to achieve. I received honest advice which was appropriate to the assets to be shared. Each process was explained with an expected timeframe and I was kept up to date throughout. All correspondence was replied to quickly and efficiently. Divorce proceedings are not cheap if you require representation, however I received itemised invoices which helped me keep on top of costs ensuring funds were always available on my account. I cannot recommend Stowe Family Law enough, thank you Lucy for your representation and positive conclusion.

I do not usually write bad reviews, rather put bad service down to learning experiences, however, on this occasion, I felt compelled to briefly share my disappointment and somewhat appalling experience with these solicitors on a review.

Lucy Birch was the solicitor who took on my case. I was initially given advice from Lucy who then some weeks later took a completed U turn and gave me totally different advice. I queried why I had been told the total opposite previously and she said that as this was a civil law case there was no exact science. The advice, in my opinion, should not totally change without any change in the individual case situation. My case was also reviewed by a colleague, another senior advisor, from memory, on at least three occasions for which I was charged. I appreciate such charges were highlighted at the time when I signed my contract, however, since Lucy is a Senior Solicitor, I feel she should not need to have a case reviewed so often if she is confident with her own advice and abilities.

Lucy was almost never available to take a telephone call and took over 20 days to reply to an email which I sent. Apparently she was on holiday and then busy with urgent hearings on her return…..I too was a client but clearly not a priority.

The fees do not offer any kind of value for such a bad service (£325 plus VAT per hour). I paid £3.5k and this was without writing any correspondence to my ex-partner and I also copied documentation, compiled spreadsheets and other data forwarding it onto Lucy myself to minimise costs.

In the end, I lost total faith in the service being provided by Lucy Birch and therefore made the decision to change to another solicitor. This was absolutely the best decision I made. Not only did this solicitor achieve a far greater financial settlement on my behalf than the one Lucy was proposing, the excellent service I received from the new solicitor made me realise what I had been putting up with.

I was going to make an official complaint but didn’t want to hear the excuses, the only department, which is very efficient, is the Accounts Department!!!!

Lucy Birch has been absolutely amazing in dealing with my financial aspects of my divorce. Not only has she been highly knowledgeable and professional at all times, she has also been extremely responsive and reassuring during a difficult two years. I would not hesitate to recommend her services

Lucy Birch has been my solicitor since Aug 2020. Lucy has really been incredible. She’s trustworthy and extremely professional.
She brings me back down to earth and makes me see sense again when I’m having ‘one of those days’.
I’m more than thankful for the work she has put in, we still have a long road a head but I’m glad I have Lucy guiding me.
Lucy knows how much my situation means to me, hence why this is such a personal review.
I’ll never be able to thank Lucy enough.
I highly recommend Lucy.

Lucy Birch was the lady who was acting as my solicitor.
I was comfortable and confident from the start that I chose the right solicitor.
Lucy was honest and straight with me and even suggested other things to put into the paperwork that I didn't even think of.

I will be going back to Lucy Birch for other things too in the near future.

Affordable and professional.

Lucy replied to all of my emails in a timely manner so I didn't feel like i was being left in the dark and wondering where my money is actually going.

Highly recommend Lucy Birch!!!

I spoke to Sonia White in client care today, she was brilliant, went above and beyond to help me, it turns out I need an accountant and only possibly may need a solicitor, if I do need one, Stowe Family Law will definitely be my choice, excellent service.
