Stowe Family Law
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!
SGG WI feel compelled to write this review as I have gone through a tough time in a very amicable divorce. Having used 2 previous solictors 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.
Peter ThorpeThe staff dealt with my enquiry sensitively and gave me great advice.

Brendan Fleming
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.
Kiara GraceThank-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.
Ted AlanRecently 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.

Stowe Family Law
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.
BrianI 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.
AmyStowe 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!
AnonymousDivorce 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.

Benussi Law
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.
'A Client'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.
GuyBenussi & 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.
Steve JohnsonI 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.
David DraytonI would like to thank you for the relevant, realistic and skilled way in which you have helped us in dealing with this matter.

Greens Solicitors
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.
MandyBeen 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%.
JessicaI 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
Darrell GrantGreens 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!

Proven History
Does the solicitor have a proven track record, earned over years, of being an extremely shrewd legal practitioner? They aren’t in any way new or unproven.
Legal Specialism
The solicitor is well recognised for having a specialism in a particular area of family law, such as international divorce, abduction, or custody.
