“Very professional and efficient”
I am very happy with Stowe Family Law. I instantly had a very good rapport with my solicitor Rebecca Calden-Storr who is very understanding as well as very professional and efficient. It is also very easy to get in touch with any questions and there is never any long wait. I feel I am in very good hands. Thank you!
“An outstanding family lawyer”
I feel compelled to write this review as I have gone through a tough time in a very amicable divorce. Having used 2 previous solicitors firm who racked up ££££'s of costs and wasn't moving very far at all. Through recommendation of a friend I contacted Rebecca Calden-Storr at Stowe Family Law. From the very first contact right the way to getting a final court result that I was extremely happy with, the process was very quick, precise and stress free unlike the previous 2 firms that botched it. The service is faultless and was made to feel very easy and comfortable through the events. So much so on the court day I felt very at ease and relaxed about the whole process. So in all honesty if you are looking for not just a family Lawyer but an outstanding Family Lawyer I could not recommend Rebecca Calden-Storr at Stowe Family Law enough.
“Great advice”
The staff dealt with my enquiry sensitively and gave me great advice.

I have had multiple dealings with Benussi & Co over the years and without their help I would have been lost. I have always been made to feel welcome, their expert knowledge and experience is extremely comforting. The nature of their business means that when they have to be stern they can but there is always a helping hand to guide you through and tough times. 100% recommend. Thank you.
I am so grateful and relieved that I was referred to Benussi & Co. My high-conflict divorce was made easier to deal with because I had Benussi & Co on my side! Diane Benussi and the entire team, including the admin staff, were extremely helpful, experienced, responsive and knowledgeable with all aspects of my divorce. From my first phone-call and consultation I felt comforted and well guided. For an experience that is one of the most difficult to ever go through, both emotionally and financially, I am truly thankful that Benussi were on my team. I would highly recommend them.
I would have no hesitation recommending Benussi to any of my friends and family.
Now that the whole process is finally over, I would like to take the opportunity to say how grateful I am to Benussi for representing me over the last few years. It is, as I am sure you are all aware, a very difficult time full of emotion and stress and I have at least been able to feel secure in the knowledge that I am being properly represented and that, whatever the outcome is, the best has been done for me. You acted extremely professionally but, more than that, were very patient and reassuring during the process, putting me at ease.
Benussi & Co are a first class firm of able, highly professional and experienced specialist family solicitors. I have the highest regard for them as do many family lawyers in the Midlands and London. They have the greatest reputation of any of the law firms in Birmingham and that reputation is entirely justified.
The 3 senior partners are all extremely able and work well together. I regularly work with Neil Hobden [in Diane Benussi's team]. He is an extremely able and astute lawyer with a very good eye for detail whilst never losing sight of the bigger picture.
The firm provides the same quality advice as the leading firms in London. It is probably the most able specialist firm outside London. I would recommend this firm to potential clients, they recently represented my cousin. He was delighted with the work they did on his behalf, work that lead to a highly beneficial settlement.
I am very pleased with the end result and I don't think it could have gone any better.
I am certain that your excellent advice and attention to detail helped achieve the desired results.
I would highly recommend you to anyone in need of a matrimonial lawyer and I just hope I never have the misfortune of needing one again.
I would like to thank you for the relevant, realistic and skilled way in which you have helped us in dealing with this matter.

“Good advice and feedback”
Fantastic professional service with good advice and feedback
Handled my divorce case well from a difficult position after leaving a different solicitor half way though the divorce. I was given good advice and direct feedback to help my decisions in how to proceed.
I only wish I had used them from the start.
“I wouldn’t put my trust in anyone else”
I came across Stowe Family Law purely by chance as I needed a solicitor and the situation was quite last minute, but I can honestly say that I wouldn’t put my trust in anyone else. They were able to offer me the support and guidance that I needed, and were extremely sensitive to my circumstances.
“I couldn't have got through it without them”
Stowe Family Law are a professional and friendly team who helped me at a time when I most needed it. My situation was complicated and difficult, yet they took the time and patience to get to the bottom of it and sort it all out with some great results. I couldn't have got through it without them - thank you!
“Thoughtful, confident and experienced leadership at all times”
Divorce is never going to be 'fun' but Stowe made the process much easier for me, thanks to clear guidance with thoughtful, confident and experienced leadership at all times. Ultimately, we achieved a thoroughly fair result for all parties. Thank you.

Gurjit has been absolutely exceptional in providing firm legal advice! She was friendly, warm and extremely empathetic during a very difficult phone call and time. She didn’t hesitate to provide further advice a few weeks later. She came highly recommended and quite rightly so. If you want to speak to a legal team and feel like you’re talking to a friend, then these are your guys! Thank you for everything!
Gurjit was amazing. The service I got went above and beyond my expectations. She was warm and kind but also totally on the ball and did keep me very focused which is necessary when you want to avoid the issues of divorce but need to deal with them!!
They are not cheap but you definitely get value for money by choosing the best. Everything about this firm is professional from the service...the amazing assistants.. (Jeevan II haven’t forgotten you) the conscientious and relentless efforts to strive for the best outcome of your case...
I do not believe you could get a better firm or nicer people to help you through what is a horrible time when you divorce.Thank you Gurjit and Jeevan for putting up with me and doing such a great job
I recently went through a tough case where my bitter ex denied me access to my son and made a case based upon lies and fake allegations.
I have never used a Lawyer before but using Charles and Co was the best decision I made. Gurjit and Raj helped me through a tough time and 5 reasons why I would recommend Charles and Co above anyone else -
1. Very caring and natural warmth amongst all the team
2. Will fight for you very hard to get the most and best for you
3. Will not try to RIP You off and are very reasonable and fair with payment
4. Have great contacts with barristers and a very good reputation in their field
5. Very experienced in dealing with all family law.I cannot thank Gurjit and Raj highly enough and will continue to use them as my lawyer for such matters.
Excellent professional service from start to finish during my divorce. I was informed of the progress throughout and felt in control during whole procedure, many thanks Gurjit, you are one of the best family Solicitor in the UK and you do a brilliant job.
Would definitely recommend to family and friends.
I have no hesitation in recommending Charles&Co Solicitors when needing a family lawyer or support when going though a divorce. I have to personally thank Amardeep for working tirelessly on my case and Gurjit for her professionalism, knowledge and great empathy when dealing with my matters. Gurjit gave me the confidence to proceed with my case and they both offered the realistic advice I needed in order to fight for a better future for me and my child. It wasn’t an easy process but I know it wouldn’t have been a journey I could have completed without their support. Thank you again for all your hard work and encouragement.
A professional and personal firm that helped enable an amicable divorce in potentially complicated circumstances.
Gurjit's alacrity and can do attitude gave me confidence from the outset that I would be well represented.
Communication from both Gurjit and Jeevan was succinct whilst at the same time engaging.
Highly recommended.
Professional, ethical, strategic, hard working and excellent value for money. Charles & Co, in particular Gurjit Chalal delivers over and beyond the call of duty. Gurjit and her team are well worth the money. She cares about her clients and will do her utmost to fight your corner. Her energy, drive and work ethic is phenomenal. Hiring Charles & Co was the best decision I ever made.
I have nothing but praise for Gurjit who acted on my behalf during my divorce proceedings. She is very knowledgeable and dynamic in her approach. Gurjit always provided me with prompt and professional advice. She was also able to find a fantastic barrister who she worked alongside with to achieve a win far greater than expected. I would highly recommend Charles & Co and especially Gurjit to anyone who is going through a divorce and looking for a legal representative.
I would like to thank Charles & Co for dealing with my divorce and financial matter. In particular, Gurjit Chahal and Jeevan Tiwana. They were really efficient and went the extra mile to reach the end goal.
Really happy with their service and help during my challenging times. Definitely recommend.
Thanks again.
Amazing and professional service with dealing with my matrimonial and financial case by Gurjit. She ensured I was informed and updated throughout the challenging process. I would highly recommend her services.

Excellent service from start to finish. Very friendly, supportive and very sensitive to your circumstances. The communication between myself and the solicitors was excellent. I would use the solicitors again and recommend them to anyone. Have no regrets at all going with Greens solicitors. Money well spent. Keep up the outstanding work you do and I would not change anything that the solicitors were doing for me and how they dealt with my case. Very professional.
Been with Greens since March and it's now almost a year and I am so over the moon with how amazing Greens have been since the beginning. Would recommend to anyone 100%.
I recently changed family solicitors due to mine closing down for better pastures. At first I wasn't sure about Greens Solicitors, as I have never used them before. Straightaway I noticed how friendly and very understanding they are towards my case. Mr. Ham was very honest with me and through talking to him my confidence grew for green solicitors. In court Mr. Ham proved to me his experience and his worth. I went to court with nothing and came out with everything I asked for. I am happy with this company and wouldn't change them again. They do what they say and get the very best deal for you. I am also looking forward to my previous solicitor to join the team next year. Thank you Mr Ham
Greens Solicitors helped me with my personal issues very professionally and made me feel welcome every time I came to the office. They dealt with my situation with care and guided me very well. Would 100% recommend to anyone out there!

Pavneet as been amazing in what she do I’m bless to have her dealing with my case.
I cannot speak highly enough of Pavneet Matharu. For anybody in need of expert legal representation in this area she quite simply is ‘the go to’ person.
Pav’s levels of professionalism and client care are second to none. Whilst Pav is incredibly approachable, she doesn’t just tell you what you want to hear and her no nonsense approach is something I value highly.
I quite simply couldn’t envisage anybody else fighting my corner in the way that Pav did - she was a genuine source of strength throughout difficult proceedings and I’ll forever be grateful for her endeavours in securing justice for my son and I.
From start to finish pavneet has delivered an outstanding service, she filled me with confidence throughout my child proceedings. Pavneet is very straight to the point and the way she represents her clients in court is amazing she's very child focused. I would high recommend pavneet as a solicitor.
I didn’t have a particularly messy divorce, but when things did become challenging, Pav was always the pragmatic one trying to get everything over the line as efficiently as possible.
I’ve recommended Pav to others, and I’d use again in a heartbeat. When Pav wasn’t about, Shannan could pick anything up, and there was never any delays in getting responses.
Pav represented me for my child arrangement proceedings. I must admit I was extremely apprehensive at the beginning, but through Pav's guidance throughout, namely being very clear and concise, I became more confident in the process. Through Pav's excellent knowledge of the procedure and law, she had the other side on the back foot from the very outset. At all times she was ahead of the opposition which ultimately resulted in me obtaining the best possible outcome from these proceedings.
Not only was Pav's fees extremely reasonable, she was available around the clock and with her robust approach, I was able to see light at the end of tunnel. Pav is a fantastic solicitor, and I would recommend her without any hesitation.
I used Glover Priest for my divorce. I have to say after being let down by another solicitors it was very refreshing to deal with these. Pav was great to deal with, clear cut precise and not full of the usual waffle. very easy to understand the process as it was simply put. As we all no a divorce is a testing time but it felt very easy and that's a credit to Pav and Glover Priest. the costs were reasonable too.
it took a bit longer than usual for it all to be finalised but that was down to covid and the speed of the courts not the professionalism of Pav and Glover Priest
I highly recommend Pavneet Matharu her professionalism, knowledge and empathy towards her clients is outstanding. I switched solicitors during my divorce to Pavneet as she understood everything and paid attention to all details during an incredibly tough divorce and she went above and beyond to get me to the finish line. Thank you Pavneet I will certainly be recommending you to anyone who is in need of a wonderful solicitor in the future.
Pavneet from the moment I walked into her office I could see she was dedicated to my cause. Communication between us was 1st rate always getting a call back or email regarding an issue or questions I might of had. Once we got to court everything was explained to me and Pavneet also explained all to my ex. Whom Pavneet talked to and came to an agreement swiftly. Very impressed as my ex is very stubborn. We left court with everything settled and written so as from that point I got to see my children and I will be forever grateful to Pavneet’s determination to get results for me. Thanks again Pavneet and I’ll be recommending you and the firm to all who ask and goes without saying I will use you again in a heartbeat.
I really don't have enough wonderful words to describe this amazing Solicitor.
She fights your corner fully and gives the best advice and support I have ever see in a human being. She is very highly professional and has really got outstanding knowledge and communication . I highly recommend this firm and this Solicitor .

I have now engaged Lodders on 4 matters, and each time their performance has been exemplary.
Lodders staff managed my business in a pleasant, friendly manner, with great humour whilst always maintaining the highest professional standards.
I have now used this company on two occasions for various personal affairs and have been most impressed with the service given. Communication is excellent and quick. The staff are knowledgeable and very professional and provide good advice combined with good service. Lodders will certainly remain my solicitor for any future business. Cannot recommend enough.
The service was always accessible and efficient and I always felt confident that I was getting good / very good advice.
Professional, efficient, friendly. Made the process very easy and understandable. Highly recommended.
Accessibility to talk to solicitor & paralegal immediately & fast response time. Sound judgement.

My case centered around ancillary relief and achieving a financial settlement. My ex-husband’s refusal to provide honest financial disclosure and the complexity and overseas location of our marital assets proved extremely challenging. My case involved numerous requests for financial disclosure, penal notice applications for enforcing court orders, section 37 injunctions to protect assets, a committal to prison hearing, two FDR hearings and finally resulted in a contested two-day Final Hearing. There has since been further enforcement action resulting in a suspended committal to prison order, a variation application and another two-day Final Hearing. Throughout, Annette’s advice has been invaluable and she has gone way out of her way to help me at every stage. I cannot recommend Annette highly enough, she is a one-off and I consider myself extremely privileged to have been represented and supported by her, during undoubtedly one of the most difficult and stressful periods of my life.
Great services. Helped me with a family case. Couldn't have asked for more.
Very good service, professional advice and quick response. I been using Annette's services from Brendan Fleming in my family & financial matters and cannot recommend her enough. Simply five stars *****
Thank-you so much for all of your hard work and determination to bring my children home! I could not have wished for a better person to represent me. The boys are doing brilliantly and we are very happy and settled! I honestly could not find the words to thank you enough.
Recently consulted with them on a case. The office was very responsive and started working on the case immediately. I was able to speak with a solicitor the same day I called.
Within a few weeks, they had arranged a very good settlement of my issues. Very pleased with their representation and professionalism.

I've worked with HRS on a few cases and they are always helpful and friendly. The staff just sort of get where you are coming from. They are a good choice.
From first meeting we were at ease, you were always there for us throughout. You were professional and kept us informed. The price was agreed on day one and there were no hidden extras. You won our case within the timescale you said it would be. We are very satisfied with the service you gave us and can recommend HRS to anyone. Thank you.
The staff are very compassionate understanding and helpful. Their professionalism is second to none and good value for their cost.
