Stowe Family Law - Chelmsford Recensioni 

We are working with Lucy Birch on our matter and she is friendly, efficient, and extremely thorough. This Law Firm offers a “tailor made approach” for their client’s individual needs and I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing legal assistance or advice.

Lucy Birch at Stowe Family Law is absolutely superb - responsive, smart, empathetic and commercial, understanding the points to make and looking for the best solutions at all times. She has been very responsive, and I feel completley supported through this difficult and, at times complicated, process. She is also mindful of keeping costs down and proportionate. Would absolutely recommend.

I am really glad that I chose Lucy and Stowe Family Law to support me with my case. While the process that we are undertaking is very slow moving (due to the nature of it, and through no fault of Lucy's) Lucy has kept in touch and provided regular connection moments to stay on top of things. I have felt supported through everything we have done so far - Lucy is a good listener and very reassuring, and although we are yet to get to the action stage of the matter, I am confident that once things properly start moving Lucy will be by my side as she has been up to press.

Brilliant service and really helped me understand the situation I was in.
I highly recommend as I went four months without seeing my son, Lucy fixed that for me in less then a month

You have been fantastic Extremely thorough and professional throughout. Calm, pragmatic, honest, reassuring and very responsive. It’s tough going through a divorce but my solicitor Kate has been a great support not just as my solicitor but as a great personal advisor. Kate has been extremely professional yet always showed empathy. Her communication has been fantastic and has helped me till now navigate my way through a difficult time.
I would highly recommend Stowe family law and Kate. Thank you so much for all your help.

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!!!!

Service was at all times professional with appropriate level of advice. There was good communication and I felt I was never a phone call or e mail away from assistance. I didn’t need to keep chasing replies or responses as these came in a timely manner.
I would use this company again.

Filomena was superb first to last minute I spoke to her, she guided me through the process and what was involved. I can not recommend her highly enough, she and her team go above and beyond and in such a calm demeanour. To anyone in my position, I would highly recommend Stowe to represent.

I dealt with Emel Hamit for my divorce. Emel was always courteous and professional. She had a good eye for detail and was efficient, and had a sense of humour. She was also very reassuring with empathy, at a difficult time in my life, which I greatly appreciated. Everything was good!

I have recently engaged Stowe family law to help with my divorce. So far I have found Lucy and her team to be very professional - Lucy will always answer your emails/queries the same day. They are approachable and helpful and I have confidence that they are handling my divorce quickly and efficiently.

Stowe Family Law did a fantastic job with my recent case. Professional and efficient throughout.

I am currently using Stowe Family Law Chelmsford for my on going divorce proceedings. Lucy has been amazing, showing empathy, knowledge and very professional. I have been updated regularly and any queries have been responded to in a timely manner. Invoices are sent out monthly which helps me manage fees. I have no hesitation in recommending Stowe Family Law - Chelmsford.

I contacted Stowe Family Law at a very difficult time in my life, and wasn't sure which way to turn. Right from the initial consultation I have felt listened to and my concerns have been heard. Lucy has helped an unbearable situation feel more bearable and we have had some laughs along the way! She has demonstrated nothing but professionalism, kindness and has reassured me when I have doubted myself. I haven't ever felt judged and have always been put at ease.
Lucy has always kept me up to date with the case and always responds to correspondence in a timely manner.

I’ve had Lucy Birch as my solicitor for just over two years now - and she has really been amazing. The care and consideration towards her clients are unmatched. I can’t put into words how at ease she has made me feel every time a bad moment has come along.
I’ll never be able to thank her enough.

Spoke with Mr Sebastian Burrows who I found to be extremely helpful and knowledgeable and I wouldn’t hesitate in suggesting him to friends or family….

Filomena was very helpful and gave some very good advice. I would recommend to anyone going through a divorce or any kind of family matter.

After using a different solicitor with my initial divorce proceedings to which I was not happy with, Stowe family law have been a breath of fresh air with Devon being conscientious and understanding to my requirements.
Thank you

Sebastian Burrows delivered a practical, helpful and professional service with great humility. Took the time to understand the needs of his client. Demonstrated an understanding of the balance between input, guidance and output..... getting that just right. A really pleasant and experienced professional, I would not hesitate to use again.

If like me, you've previously had little or no experience with solicitors, but now find yourself dealing with the Family courts, you'll be facing that huge decision of who can you really trust to give you sound, reliable advice on an area of your life that is extremely sensitive...
I feel really grateful to have found Lucy Birch of Stowe Family Law.

Lucy's advice has always been in our best interests, she has always foreseen obstacles, anticipated any possible hurdles and been able to advise on provisions we can make to prevent further delays/ problems. Her suggestions have proven to be most beneficial and I have great confidence in her advice.

Lucy not only really knows her family law, but has a great understanding of the court process itself, she provides advice on realistic expectations, including costs/ timescales of proceedings etc.

Her attention to detail and organisation is spot on and Lucy has always maintained a cool head, even when thrown a curve ball (and there's been a few).
Whilst always the professional, Lucy also has a really good understanding of very delicate situations and I've found her really approachable and easy to talk to and reassuring too. Working with Lucy throughout the whole process has been really valuable. I can not recommend Lucy highly enough.

I will add, the rest of the Stowe Family team that I have encountered have also, all been very helpful.

Emel was nothing but professional and knowledgeable throughout the whole process, very trustworthy, empathetic and approachable.
Emel made a very difficult situation much easier, taking away all the strain from me. She was always there available and very responsive. I can not recommend her enough, brilliant, was pleased I had her in my corner. Thank you so much for everything.
