Stowe Family Law - Leeds Omdömen 

My divorce is now concludede and i thought i should take time to leave a review of my Case.
My Case was handled by Angela Sussens who was absolutely excellent throughout.
she was extremely professional, always up to date and knew my case inside out.
I cannot praise her highly enough, and would have no hesitation in recommending her.

Shanika Varga was supportive, honest, direct and compassionate.
My case was complicated and difficult which was expensive but the most important thing was my family's safety which was met with a favorable order through strong support from the Stowe team.
I would recommend Stowe to anyone. You pay for what you get and these guys are worth the money.
(In terms of the few negative reviews about the firm - my advice is I would research the solicitor assigned first before committing with any legal firm)

Hannah Ross got me through the toughest time of my life. This wasn’t an easy case and Hannah took on encountered issues that no one expected and a few had ever seen. She worked tirelessly and handled my problems with great professionalism and helped myself and my daughter to finally get justice. She has been a tremendous help to me from the get go, with her help and support, she listened, she advised and she truly cared about me as a client. It’s been a pleasure working with her, and she made a very difficult situation a lot easier for me and I would not hesitate to use her again and will definitely recommend her to anyone I know who is in need of a great family Solictor.

Stowe came recommended to me as an excellent legal firm and from my introductory meeting with Shanika I knew I wanted her to handle my case. Over the last 2.5 years she has been professional, proactive and compassionate and has always been able to outline the options available to me so that I can make an informed decision regarding my divorce proceedings. I would 100% recommend her to anyone in a similar situation.

Charlotte Newman has just finished helping me with my consent order & I am so grateful for her help! There were times I never thought I would get to this point of having a signed consent order! My consent order & divorce have been very difficult, for many reasons, but Charlotte grasped the issues very quickly & thanks to her tenacity, keeping the momentum & pressure up we were able to get the consent order signed before the second court date. Charlotte was creative in suggesting ways of structuring the agreement to meet both of our needs & offered sound advice on what she felt the judge would decide. Charlotte is very professional & quick thinking & was able to summarise the pertinent issues very succinctly. Charlotte works very quickly & always produced correspondence to a high standard & in short timescales. I would thoroughly recommend using Charlotte for family law matters. Thank you Charlotte!

During COVID I was refused access to my son, the speed and work in which this firm acted and did was outstanding. Now I have an order to see my son again. I would recommend these guys to anyone.

Charlotte Newman took over my file a third of the way through my divorce process and immediately made me feel comfortable and reassured of my move from a one-man band firm to a well respected professional organization. Charlotte and her team made the whole process as smooth as possible always empathetic to my situation retaining a thoroughly professional approach. Though there were unforeseen hic ups along the way, Charlotte always checked in for my wellbeing and offered reassurance that the truth will always prevail, which it did. I am really grateful to Charlotte and her team as well as Councel Paul Edwards for their input into seeing through the whole process to the final hearing to establish a fair outcome. Once the pandemic is over, Charlotte I owe you a meal out!
Best regards

SHANIKA VARGA From day one you made me feel at ease and took an interest in my case. I was very worried about leaving mark as he did amazing for me in first order. But in the end am glad i took the chance, you have been there for me from start and constantly put forward great advice to me which ill miss but am sure its made me a better parent.

Your strengths have been communication replying quickly and solving issues whilst being honest with me upfront. And your emails to opposition party have been professional and bang on! I would defo use you again in the future. So if you ever leave stowe keep in touch.

Am grateful, the new order is 100 times better then original one we had before. I knew from start even tho i fighted hard for it i would lose the extra night, its so hard for fathers to get equal rights now but i have nearly just as good with 3 nights on average per week. And a better routine and structure for my son going forward.

Every email you sent me would put me at ease knowing i had you fighting my corner, money or no money it did.

Big shout out to your friend hannah ross too what a great up coming solicitor she is. Again very much like you a credit to stowe. Ive used alot of stowe solicitors in the past and i can tell you not all of them care as much or go to the lengths like you two do.

FANTASTIC, CARING AND COST EFFECTIVE SOLICTOR LOOK NO FURTHER. These people care.

I used Stowe Family Law for an ongoing family matter that spread across 6 months and I couldn't have wished for any better support. My representative was Shanika Varga and she was amazing. Shanika was honest at times when I needed it the most, she will not pay you lip service so if you want a straight talker with realistic expectations she's the one. Shanika worked tirelessly and most importantly she provided sound advice that helped me get the outcome I was fighting for.

Charlotte Newman has been fantastic throughout my whole divorce process. Straight talking, professional and knowledgeable.
I couldn’t of asked for a better solicitor, Charlotte was always there to answer questions with a caring and thoughtful approach.
Thanks Luke

I cannot recommend Stowe highly enough, particularly Charlotte for the way she dealt with my divorce. During what was the most stressful and upsetting time of my life, Charlotte provided guidance every step of the way and kept me informed. Really professional, knowledgeable and trustworthy. Thank you so much.

The service and quality offered by Stowe Family Law LLP, in particular Rebecca Moore, from start to finish has been exceptional.
As a whole, I would highly recommend Stowe Family Law to anyone needing assistance with family law.

They are:
- Transparent
- Detailed
- Knowledgable
- Approachable

Shanika Varga handled our case, a Step-parent Adoption request by a young Teenager to his Step-father where the absentee Birth Father was contesting the application. We knew from the beginning that the chances of the Adoption being approved were slim and cases like ours were rare.
However, Shanika listened to our reasons and gave us clear sound advice from the very start, she clearly understood the importance of what we were trying to do. She was realistic and supportive in her advice, giving us our options at each stage and keeping a close eye on the financial cost for us.
Her advice was always delivered clearly and was pro-active, it was so comforting to feel she was completely in control of our situation at a time when we were emotionally vulnerable. We felt that we as a family mattered to her and we trusted her immediately, we never once felt like just another client.
The diligence and care she put into our statements and preparations for Court were exceptional, the CAFCASS officer involved the case praised them as probably the best she had seen for their clarity and content.
Shanika helped us select a Barrister that was within our budget and that excelled in dealing with less straight forward cases. She ensured that he had everything he needed for Court and supported us throughout the whole ordeal in a manner above and beyond our expectations.
We have no doubt that it was Shanika's dedication to detail, diligent hard work and genuine belief in us that took our case from the near impossible, to having a chance, and finally a life changing success.
We cannot praise Shanika and the team at Stowe Family Law enough.

Rachel Roberts and her team at Stowe guided me through my recent separation with my long-term partner and mother to my three children. They were sympathetic to the situation yet clear with their advice and negotiated the legal agreement with little issue. I would highly recommend Rachel and Stowe to any person/s requiring legal representation for relationship matters.

Rachel Roberts recently handled my divorce. Even though I was the one who filed for the divorce, the process was incredibly stressful and upsetting throughout. Even though the situation between my ex and I was amicable, there were times when I wasn't sure how I'd get through the process.
Rachel was there at every turn to provide solid, professional yet compassionate advice.
I hope you don't find yourself in the unenviable position of needing a divorce, however if you do, I would highly recommend Rachel and her team.

Charlotte was truly supportive, professional and knowledgeable throughout the whole divorce process. I couldn't have asked for a better solicitor and am thankful for the hard work she put in to it. Charlotte was always on hand to answer questions which I appreciated.

In December 2019 I required help when my ex wife began a relationship with a new partner who I found had a string of violent convictions and introduced him to our 2 children.
I met with Rebecca Moore from Stowe and was thoroughly impressed with her.
We obtained an interim prohibited steps order to keep him from having access to the children.
Rebecca was a pleasure to deal with, accompanying me to court and preparing me for the battle that was ahead.
I can’t thank her enough and wouldn’t hesitate in using Stowe Family Law again if I ever needed to.

Stowe family law have been helped me through the most difficult time of my life. After a split with my wife I needed a solicitor to fight for my children. I dealt with a couple of solicitors but end up with Mark Christie, the change between them was seamless. They handled my problems with great professionalism and helped me to get to the end where I have my children for the time I wanted. I couldn't recommend them or Mark enough. I hope I never need there services again but would never go anywhere else.
