Stowe Family Law - Brighton Opiniones 

Elona has been super helpful and supportive as I try to work through separation and ultimately divorce. She’s been incredibly reassuring on the two calls I’ve had with her so far, and given me the confidence and knowledge that I needed on certain aspects like finances and the children. It’s felt like Elona is ‘on my side’ and has my best interests at heart, whilst also being very fair and realistic, which is exactly what I needed. Thank you!

I cannot recommend Sophie Ballinger at Stowe Family Law highly enough.
Going through a divorce is never easy, but from the very beginning Sophie was supportive, understanding, and incredibly knowledgeable. She took the time to explain everything clearly, offered practical advice, and always made me feel that I had someone in my corner throughout the process.
What impressed me most was her ability to combine professionalism with genuine empathy. She was approachable, responsive, and consistently helped reduce the stress and uncertainty that naturally comes with such a difficult situation.
Sophie's expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome gave me confidence every step of the way. I am extremely grateful for her guidance and support and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing family law or divorce advice.
Thank you, Sophie, for your professionalism, understanding, and unwavering support.

My Solicitor Elona, has been thoroughly professional throughout taking my case. In addition to this, i have felt she has listened and been empathetic to my particular unique experience, which has not been straightforward or easy to deal with. She has given me matter of fact and transparent advice for which I'm truly grateful for.

I would highly recommend Stowe Family Law.
I cannot thank Nhu Vo enough for the support, guidance and professionalism she has shown through my divorce proceedings. What has been one of the most difficult times in my life has been more manageable knowing Nhu genuinely cares and my confidence has built knowing that she is working in partnership with me to achieve the best outcome.
Every aspect of my case is being handled sensitively, from our first conversation I was listened to without judgement and given clear explanations regarding the process and provided with answers to all my questions as they arose. I have received expert advice and been kept informed at every stage of the proceedings so far.
Nhu's compassion, expertise and dedication to protecting my interests has made navigating a difficult process far more manageable giving me confidence when I need it most.
I am sincerely thankful for their caring professionalism and everything that is being done on my behalf.

Although not the cheapest, I chose Stowe Family Law to act for me in my divorce as their marketing gave the impression that they were experienced in handling difficult cases and they had lots of lovely reviews. I hoped that I would one day in be in the position I am in now, with my case settled as such that I can look forward to not only a peaceful future, but a secure one. My original solicitor was promoted early on and left my case. I was concerned, however, Elona Smith took over and I feel very lucky that she did. Elona was a very reassuring presence. Easy to communicate with, she understood my situation completely, always explained things clearly, was realistic and worked hard to bring things to a conclusion. I would recommend Elona without a doubt.

Helpful, knowledgeable and clearly explain the path and direction I should go in.

I can’t thank Fleur Ryder-Smith enough for the support she gave me during my divorce. It was an incredibly difficult time, and Fleur handled everything with genuine kindness, sensitivity, and professionalism.

She was always thoughtful in how she communicated, and if there was anything challenging to discuss, she would take the time to call me personally rather than just sending an email. That made a huge difference and showed how much she cared about handling things in the right way.

Fleur managed my case with empathy and understanding while remaining highly professional throughout. I always felt supported and in safe hands, which is exactly what I needed during such a difficult period.

I’m very grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to anyone needing a compassionate and capable solicitor.

I’ve had an excellent experience with Stowe Family Law so far, dealing with a difficult variation to consent order and feel very fortunate to have been supported by such a capable and thoughtful team. In fact they also handled my divorce back in 2019 amazingly too.

I began my matter with Nicola Beasley, who was clear, patient, and reassuring, and later worked closely with Sarah Hodges, whose professionalism, strategic thinking, and calm approach have been exceptional. Sarah has guided me through a difficult and sensitive situation with clarity and integrity, always ensuring I understood my options and felt supported in my decisions. The support team is also great.

Throughout the process, communication has been strong and I’ve felt genuinely listened to. It’s clear that the firm operates with care, collaboration, and a high standard of legal expertise.

I would happily recommend Stowe Family Law, and in particular Sarah Hodges and Nicola Beasley, to anyone needing trusted family law advice. Ms L

My Solicitor Fleur Ryder-Smith has been amazing throughout my divorce proceedings I highly recommend her. Has been a long road for me personally with child proceedings as well as the financial side. I’ve been guided, supported, 100%. I couldn’t have got to the other side without her dedication to the case and professionalism. Thankyou Fleur and to the team

Lauren Kite and her colleagues at Stowe have provided an excellent service that has been worth every penny. She has handled a complex and sensitive issue with encouraging professionalism during some very stressful matters. Communication is clear and frequent, guidance is offered with empathy and care, problems are chased up and she has been particularly patient when I have made errors. I would highly recommend Stowe and in particular Lauren Kite from my experience.

A very personal touch to a sensitive subject, would highly recommend!

I have been going through a very difficult time from April 2023 and found Stowe Family I have been working with Fleur Ryder Smith and have to say she has been amazing throughout the whole time, would recommend Fleur
Thank You so much

I have been working with Abi Woollaston from this firm for the last year with my divorce.
From the 1st initial phone call with Abi I felt reassured that I was going to be ok and that she would help me get what was fair and reasonable especially as my ex was particularly difficult to divorce.
She is very professional and so knowledgeable about the law, I felt reassured that I was in safe hands and that she was doing all she could do get what was fair, she was very friendly and I built a lovely rapport with her and she was so kind and helped me through a very difficult time in my life.
I would not have got through it without her advice and hard work and I will always be very grateful to her for ensuring that I will be ok moving into my own property with my children.
I would highly recommend this company and especially Abi, thank you for helping me move forward with my life.

Charged over £300 for 'reading emails', 'filing emails' writing emails saying 'thank you'.

Pestered by different people every 4 days for a tiny amount of money.

Much better advice and better value for money sourced elsewhere.

Avoid this nuisance firm.

Elona Smith at Stowes was incredibly supportive and knowledgeable. I could not have asked for better advice or service in my child arrangements case. The whole company and everyone I dealt with were brilliant. Honestly could not recommend enough.

The Co can improve by not passing on your case to inexperienced Solicitors or Barristers. They recommend Lucy from Pump Court Chambers who was so inadequate that after the court case I was charged over £2500 so that they could put things right. Both companies just keep passing the book saying they cannot comment! I would seriously think twice before using any of these companies.

Very helpful and informative. Welcoming and personable. I found it to be a very positive experience.

I would highly recommend Stowe Family Law in particular Sophie Ballinger. Sophie has taken time to understand my situation, concerns and worries and I have felt understood and supported right from the start of the divorce process. Sophie's knowledge, advice and guidance has been invaluable, her work is thorough and considered and I have felt that she has my best interest at heart. I will be forever grateful for Sophie's help, support and expertise during a very difficult and stressful time!

Fleur Ryder Smith was professional throughout, provided sound advice and positivity when I most needed it.
I highly recommend her.

Have just received my final Divorce judgement and the whole process has been well managed by the team at Stowe Family Law. Fleur dealt with the case practically and with care. Thank you to all at Stowe for achieving the positive outcome in my case.
