Stowe Family Law - St Albans Recensioni 

my request was listened to (even just upon enquiry) and I received an appointment 2 hours later for the next week. So efficient. Communication was great, homework was done and the meeting answered all my questions. Will remain a loyal client for years to come! Thank you Melanie Quinn and team!

Sometimes life throws unexpected curveballs at me, and I had the horrible situation of having to navigate the curveball of separation with the need for legal advice and support. Gemma Windle and the staff at Stowe Family Law was exactly what I needed! They helped me to navigate the uncertainty by listening to where I was, exploring options and being there until the end. This experience also enabled me to navigate the stress and anxiety that comes with separation.

Highly recommended!

Thank you Stowe and particularly Gemma Windle for her extensive knowledge, and kindness and support that she has shown me during my lengthy drawn out cases.

Although the outcome was not quite perfection it was a far better result than I thought possible due to Gemma’s steady hand in negotiations, her advice and her expertise.

Gemma thank you so much for helping me stay sane through this last court action.

Extremely professional, empathetic and realistic approach to the process. It has been wonderful to work with Melanie and Betta. They both attempted to make the process as stress free as possible. The timeline and actions were clear from the first meeting. They also tried to use all of our time in the most cost effective way as possible. Would highly recommend.
Thank you so much for everything.

Charlotte Treves was wonderful. She managed to find the right balance between empathy, providing reissuance and at the same time giving us clear and effective solutions. She had an impressive wealth of knowledge and command of the legal framework surrounding our case. Her approach has made a huge difference to the anxiety and suffering we've endured. We are extremely grateful and comforted by her support, she has on several occasions gone the extra mile, calling us outside of our appointment to answer questions and concerns. I'd highly recommend her to others who feel they need specialist help.

I have received an email from Trustpilot demanding I authenticate myself at the request of Stowe. I have been told that if I do not do this my review may be removed. It could potentially endanger me and my children if I give any further information in the public domain which I would expect a family law firm to understand.
———————————————————
Utterly appalling service from a firm that claims to have experts in domestic abuse.
First of all, I was given a date for the meeting that differed from the date agreed. Secondly, the solicitor turned up late.
The solicitor I spoke to was ableist and victim blamed my young child regarding a domestic abuse situation. When I raised a complaint I was treated dismissively and the partner dealing with the complaint did not give me copies of policies I requested sight of prior to my complaint being looked in to. Instead she ignored my reasonable request and went ahead with 'investigating'. The wording in her response was, in my opinion, passive aggressive in parts.
I have had no reply to the email I sent at their request following this.

Very smooth process for client onboarding, very organised and thorough firm. Very impressed with Melanie. Gave really clear advice and covered all of the areas I was concerned about.

Divorce is a very difficult time. Reshma made me feel that she had carefully listened to my situation and together we were able to pick out the relevant issues, discuss them in a professional and caring manner and reach conclusions which were extremely helpful in trying to reach agreement with the other party.

Samantha Farndale at Stowe Family Law worked with me during my difficult financial settlement, her pragmatic and professional approach helped me through a difficult time and ultimately got the best result which was fair for all parties involved, she is a true asset to her profession.

What stood out for me after my meeting with Melanie Quinn was her aim/goal/passion is about providing fairness in a family/divorce dispute. She has a calm but firm approach and truly knows her stuff! Despite my huge anxiety before my meeting, I walked away feeling assured that I was in very capable hands.

I can highly recommend Charlotte Brown at Stowe Family Law as a highly knowledgeable, successful and helpful solicitor. Charlotte was always approachable and offered honest advice. She always managed to keep me calm which was very reassuring. I highly appreciated her timekeeping, on-time communication and future suggestions. She is a rising star!

It has been a long and difficult journey to date and Ms. Farndale has been examplary all the way through (and continues to be).

Her attention to detail is second to none and her knowledge of the law and problem solving throughout the whole process has been very impressive. The team that work with her are also second to none.

Superb and comprehensive legal advice and assistance! I am currently working with Gemma Windle on a leave to remove case. Being American with little understanding of the legal system in the UK, having Gemma detailed and comprehensive help and advice has been invaluable. She has made an understandably stressful and difficult process as seamless as possible. Thank you!

I have been working with Gemma and she has been a fantastic support to me from day one. She is knowledgeable, open and honest and very prompt! I have not had to chase her for anything. If she says she will do something by a certain day, she does, without fail. I couldn't be happier with the service provided and highly recommend this company and Gemma in particular.

I have been going through an awful custody battle which has been a very difficult time. Melanie Quinn has been supporting me with this and I cannot express my thanks enough for Melanie's professional advice and empathy which has been absolutely fantastic. As a whole Stowe Family Law and all of the staff I have dealt with have been superb. I couldn't ask for more

I can see that my experience is at odds with all the other reviews here, but I have had a terrible experience. My solicitor has been very unresponsive and I've needed to chase repeatedly for progress updates. A few months ago I told them that I didn't want them to carry on and I would be changing solicitors. This resulted in an very apologetic phone call, admitting that their workload was too high and they hadn't been prioritising my case. They asked me to reconsider and assured me that they would give me a much better service. The second time I threatened to raise a formal complaint, the solicitor pointed out all the reasons why the delays weren't their fault and accused me of a lack of urgency. Great customer service eh? We are now very close to finishing the job, and today (Tuesday) I've called to chase a response on an email I sent on Friday at 10am. It's now Tuesday evening and I haven't had a response by email or a phone call. This is typical of my experience. I urge you not to use this firm, but I can see that everyone else seems happy.

I would like to thank Melanie Quinn for her professionalism and compassionate, calm manner. I have always felt supported and listened to. Melanie has always responded to me quickly and efficiently making a very difficult time that much easier to deal with. Thank you to Melanie and to her team.

From my initial enquiry to my two appointments I found everyone professional, helpful and empathetic. I highly recommend Stowe Family law to others.

The service received, was amazing and extremely supportive.

I was supported by Melanie Quinn through my divorce. She was always extremely helpful and responsive, with an excellent balance of compassion, clarity and direction. Her communications are comprehensive but crisp so that we could reach an understanding swiftly and address matters as they occured. She also goes the extra mile. When there was an urgent mattter and she was not available she brought in a senior colleague to help, which took pressure off and allowed matters to proceed smoothly. I would thoroughly recommend Melanie and Stowe.
