Stowe Family Law - St Albans Omdömen 

Gemma Windle at Stowe was an excellent support throughout a long, and at times challenging, process. She had excellent knowledge, explained everything clearly and provided solid, actionable advice. Would highly recommend to anyone, as when going through a difficult time, you need to trust the team you are working with. My sincere thanks.

Ignoring the cost of a divorce, I have to say Priyal from Stowe has been amazing. I tried to manage the process myself, and found it to be a very confusing and unsettling process. I spoke to Priyal and she gave me reassurance and helped manage the process. Whilst my wife's solicitors were unprofessional and inappropriate, Priyal helped me to stay professional and reach an agreement. Thank you to Priyal for the emotional and technical support she gave me through the process. Would highly recommend.

I cannot recommend Charlotte Kirkby at Stowe Family Law highly enough. From the very beginning, Charlotte was professional, knowledgeable and incredibly supportive throughout a situation nobody wants to endure. She explained everything clearly, kept me informed at every stage, and always acted with my best interests in mind.

Charlotte’s calm, compassionate approach made a huge difference, and I always felt confident that my case was being handled with care and expertise. Thanks to her guidance, the process felt far less overwhelming than I had expected. I’m extremely grateful for her help and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing family law support.

I got exactly what I needed from the whole process and that's thanks to the hard work from all at Stowe.

I instructed Stowe Family Law during an extremely stressful and sensitive family law matter.

From the outset, Elizabeth was calm, clear, and highly professional. She explained complex legal issues in a way I could understand, managed my expectations honestly, and ensured that my case was presented in a measured and proportionate way throughout. I always felt that her advice was balanced, child-focused, and grounded in the realities of how the court approaches these cases.

The support I received helped me stay focused and composed during what could easily have become an overwhelming process. I was especially grateful for the care taken in preparation and for the collaborative work with counsel, which resulted in a fair and positive outcome.

I would not hesitate to recommend Elizabeth and the Stowe Family Law team to anyone needing clear, sensible, and professional family law advice during a difficult time.

We were apprehensive to seek legal advice but following our initial consultation with Melanie Quinn I am so pleased we did. She made us feel completely at ease, listened and gave us her legal expertise in a way that was both easy to understand and reassuring. Thank you Melanie.

I just want so big thanks for all the help I received. Everyone was so amazing and so understanding and very professional.. I would like to say a big thanks to Melanie quinn for her professionalism and for being so understanding, I would highly recommend using her and this company kind regards D Poole

Melanie and her team have been nothing short of fantastic. It’s very rare to find a solicitor you do not have to constantly chase for information . The pace at which the team works is exceptional. Reliable, trust worthy and completely put my mind at ease. Thank you Stowe!

Really great. Superb advisors. Very clear and transparent pricing. Thoughtful and considered.

Stowes of St Albans is a very well run and informative legal practice, who worked with me every step of the way on securing my divorce. Big thank you to Lauren Kite for working with me and her patience and empathy in guiding me through it all which took over 6 months in the end. So I would highly recommend Stowes for anyone who has to go through the difficult task of divorce.

Review of Stowe Family Law

My experience with Stowe Family Law has been really positive. Everyone I dealt with was helpful, approachable, and genuinely supportive throughout my surrogacy journey.

Elaine and the team were especially kind and patient in answering my questions, helping me to better understand surrogacy law and the legal steps involved. They also guided me on what letter needed to be sent to the London Women’s Clinic, which made the whole process a lot clearer for me.

What stood out most was how friendly and reassuring they were. I felt listened to and supported, with clear advice about the next steps if I decided to continue with further legal support in the future.

What this company does well:
• Provides clear and accessible explanations of complex legal matters.
• Offers supportive, friendly, and professional guidance.
• Takes the time to make sure you feel understood and confident about your options.

I’d highly recommend Stowe Family Law to anyone looking for a supportive and knowledgeable legal team, especially in areas as sensitive and important as surrogacy law.

Maryana Tuka is an excellent family lawyer. She explains the law very clearly. Many lawyers say that they are empathetic, but in reality, they are not. This is not the case with MT - the most wonderful thing about her is her empathy and understanding of people.

The first lady I spoke to who gathered the information was so incredibly kind. I was rabbling and emotional. She had genuine empathy and true compassion. I am truly sorry I didn't remember your name so I could mention it now.

I then had the pleasure of speaking to Melanie, she was calm, informative and again incredibly kind and reassuring. I had spoken to several other solicitors but knew straight away that I wanted Melanie to help me. I can't recommend enough!

Charlotte is very easy to talk to and listened to my concerns. There was no pressure to make decisions and she is very knowledgeable. I have no doubt whatsoever that she will do what is best for me. I would highly recommend her.

I found the solicitors at Stowe Family Law to be professional and courteous throughout. However, I was ultimately left disappointed by the lack of forward planning around the costs of my case. Despite clearly stating that my budget was limited, I was allowed to spend over £18,000 — only to find myself without representation at the most critical stage of proceedings, the FDR hearing. Better strategic planning and cost management might have avoided this outcome. For clients without endless resources, I would urge caution and regular discussion around projected costs.

I've had the pleasure of Natalie Nero handling my case. Right from the get go, Natalie has understood my case and what are it's requirements. Explained the best route of action for me and helped me implement my needs. Natalie was proactive to the point where I was unable to respond to an email due to personal emergency, she has prepared few documents ready for my approval. I couldn't thank her enough as it has taken a lot of weight off of my shoulders during extremely difficult time. Her professionalism and easy to understand language (English being my second language) has made the experience very smooth and would certainly come back/recommend her should I or someone I know need her services.
Thank you for all your help Natalie,
Best regards,
Olaf

What can I say other than thank you to the team at Stowe Law, especially a massive thank you to Charlotte Kirkby for giving me the direction and support through the whole process.

The communication, help reassurance and particularly the competence of my Lawyer ‘Priyal’.

Whilst this was a difficult case, with one party particularly difficult with disclosure, communication and financial expectation I feel my lawyer was with me all the way through.

Very happy to recommend the services of Stowe Family Law after my experience.

From my first call with Rebecca Stuart I was immediately at ease and felt in safe hands. From the onset I’ve been heard, supported and informed in my options with swift actions and follow up during what is a nail biting time. Thank you Rebecca

I am a barrister instructed to work for Rebecca Stewart on both financial and children matters. I find Rebecca to be an incredibly efficient, dedicated and pragmatic instructing solicitor, and it is a pleasure to see her name in my diary. I would thoroughly recommend her to any clients (and have done so!) for a compassionate and effective service, for which you will not be disappointed.

Rebecca Stewart has been very professional from the very first day we meet, Rebecca has always advised me on my best options of the way we proceed going forward with every matter that has arises within my very complex case.

Rebecca has gone above and beyond with getting to understand my case as well as understanding how difficult this has been for myself with matters that have arise during this process.

I honestly hope none of family or friends end up in the same situation but if they do I would 100% recommend Rebecca to be the only person they use to help them resolve the matters of family law.
