Greens Solicitors
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
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!

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.

Benussi Law
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.
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.

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.

Trusted Reviews
The quality and content of feedback that clients have given via trusted review services such as Google and TrustPilot.
Recognised Accreditations
Formal accreditations that are awarded to firms based on their expertise and/or their outstanding working practices.
Award Winning
Industry-recognised awards for superior business practices, legal expertise or customer care.
Client Focused
Evidence of high quality client care, including reviews received, publishing and sharing legal knowledge, and quality of enquiry replies.
Reported Cases
The extent to which the solicitor has been involved in cases that have helped to shape and change wider family law.
Price Band
Is the solicitor one of the best within their price band? A lower-priced or mid-priced solicitor will be included if they are the best compared to other solicitors in the same price band.
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.
