I will be forever grateful for what Jemma Slavin and her team in Bristol have done for me and my children. Jemma is a top-class Lawyer that really knows her stuff. She is professional, personable, quick to respond and above all always knew what the right legal advice was, and she was always 1 step ahead of my husband’s Lawyer. It is thanks to her legal advice and persistence that gave me and my children a better outcome then I could ever have imagined. But most importantly my children can now continue their life growing up with the right support and living in the area familiar to them and close to their school and friends.
Could not recommend Stowe enough, they are amazing!
Miss K FI was advised to use Jemma Slavin at Stowe whilst going through an extremely difficult and lengthy divorce. Jemma was amazing. Jemma gave brilliant advice, was able to set my mind at ease when difficult situations arose and more than anything was totally approachable and available like a friend if ever I was struggling. My divorce was a very bitter one however I felt in completely safe hands and comforted by the fact that I knew I had the best representation I could get. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jemma to anyone needing a family lawyer. I am out the other side now and cannot thank Jemma and her team enough for such great support, professionalism and basically getting me the result I hoped for.

Divorce is tough and emotional and I was fortunate to follow recommendation and receive the support of Chris Miller at Barcan and Kirby. I felt listened to, understood and clear about the process. Jargon was made accessible in everyday terms and costs were available in advance and did not change. Communication was excellent and Chris was approachable and happy to answer queries by phone and email. Time scales were also accurate. I would highly recommend both Chris and Barcan and Kirby to anyone who may need them in the future.
AmyWe came to Barcan Kirby for advise on a family matter, and from the outset were made to feel at ease by the friendly, understanding and knowledgeable approach. We were informed of our options and felt confident that we were receiving the best advice. Which fortunately resulted in an outcome which exceeded our expectations. We would definitely recommend your services in all legal matters.
GillianI was extremely satisfied with the service and advice I received at what is a very stressful time for me. I have also instructed you to re-write my will following on from my Divorce.

I worked predominantly with Joanna. She worked tirelessly to get things done for me, and it's clear that she cares very much about her clients and helping them through the process.
NathanFantastic 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.

With fair and minimal fees, Gareth Schofield quickly solved enforcing the terms of my 16 year old divorce order by performing proper legal research, then with just a few phone calls I had the funds in my account. He accomplished in a couple of months what solicitors Gregg Latchams failed to get a result for nine years, blowing through 25,000 pounds and going to court, ill-pre-pared for senseless interim applications. If you are looking for fair, intelligent, kind professional solcitors, Clarke Willmott is your one stop, legal shop!
Jill GieseThis is a quality firm, staffed with skilled, intelligent, articulate, authoritative staff. I would highly recommend them. You want a legal firm to inspire you with confidence that they A. They know what they're talking about B. They are going to represent you competently C. Give you confidence that you are going to succeed and win your case. This sounds like it's easy but so many fail on at least 2 of the above points.
Clarke Willmott excel at all 3.
There is only one word to say, excellent.

Tom SummerbeeHighly recommend for custody issues. Have struggled to get shared custody for some years and was elated when representing myself I was able to achieve all that I was seeking 50/50 shared care with the support and help of the family law practice.
Extremely professional and knowledgeable and reasonably priced, but then what is worth to have time with your child?

We received an excellent and efficient service from start to finish. We couldn't fault the highly professional support and always felt we knew exactly what was going on, and what we needed to do next. Couldn't be faulted.

I've been using the services of Henriques Griffiths over the best part of 10 years, since I moved back to Bristol from London - for family law matters, such as wills, organising probate & setting up Powers of Attorney, as well as conveyancing for the sale & purchase of 3 properties over the course of that time. I have worked with Julie Jordan in the Winterbourne office for all conveyancing matters over the years and various other solicitors in the Portland Square office for family law matters. Both Julie and all the other lawyers I've dealt with have always dealt with things with utmost professionalism, and sensitivity, effecting swift & satisfactory outcomes in all cases. I would definitely recommend Henriques Griffiths without hesitation.
Helen SuttonI used this firm once before for conveyancing many years ago and was very pleased with the service. This time it was family law and my solicitor, David Foster [Partner alongside Carol Simmons] was extremely professional, his advice was always slanted in my favour for the least cost to me, unfortunately that could not be said of the other side. There is no doubt David obtained the best possible result involving the least stress possible for me.
I am very happy and would recommend this firm of solicitors without hesitation.

Gregg Latchams provided me with fantastic legal support during a highly stressful period. Pragmatic and honest advice and fees that are not out of the ordinary. Highly recommended.
Andrew SimmondsI’ve been having financial issues with my ex husband after 8 years of being separated and divorced, plus problems with getting my name of the mortgage. I had trawled through the internet trying to find a good solicitor. I gave a few a call but found them too busy to talk or not that knowledgeable. When I spoke with James, it was ,immediately, crystal clear that’s he’s been in the industry a while and knew what he was talking about. I was offered a free half an hour consultation over the phone. What I liked about this solicitor is, he was more interested in making sure that he had conveyed the information over to me , properly, to understand, rather than about the time, itself ! That’s rare in this industry. He was not only professional and efficient, but kind, empathetic and very helpful also. Many female divorcees need a little empathy.
I have been an estate agent for many years and dealt with many solicitors. James certainly stood out from the crowd and I’ll be booking in my appointment shortly.
I Highly recommend them.
Jessica BellApproachable team with a wide range of legal expertise.

Divorce is never a pleasant experience and no matter how hard you try and keep it amicable, negotiations can can quickly deteriorate and costs escalate, especially when the other parties solicitor is being unreasonable. Katy Zikking at Harbour Family Law kept it all together, prevented it from going off track and steered it to an acceptable and amicable conclusion.
Jonathan HugillI recently engaged the services of Harbour Family Law in order to obtain a court order for the contact arrangements of my daughter, Harbour Family Law made the process, which is often very stressful, clear, smooth and hassle free, particularly Ros (part of Katy's team), who together with her speedy replies, efficiency and attention to detail was everything and more I could have asked for from my legal representation. Would highly recommend.

Industry-recognised awards for superior business practices, legal expertise or customer care.
Evidence of high quality client care, including reviews received, publishing and sharing legal knowledge, and quality of enquiry replies.
The extent to which the solicitor has been involved in cases that have helped to shape and change wider family law.
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.
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.
The solicitor is well recognised for having a specialism in a particular area of family law, such as international divorce, abduction, or custody.
Is the solicitor part of an established firm and they have quickly gained a reputation for being expert in their field? A highly skilled rising star who doesn’t yet command the highest fees, so making them very good value.
Does the solicitor’s surrounding team contain high calibre lawyers and secretaries who collectively can offer broader and deeper legal advice as circumstances require?
