“Patricia is most kind and understanding”
I would like to acknowledge my thanks to Patricia Robinson for her help in obtaining my daughter's divorce. In addition to being extremely knowledgeable, Patricia is most kind and understanding in what was a very difficult time for my daughter. The outcome was successful and I am pleased to say my daughter and family have moved on and are all in a much better place. We are extremely grateful.
Excellent advice given and in a way that was easy to understand.
“Professional, friendly and approachable”
From my initial consultation with Mark Heptinstall, I instantly felt reassured and supported.
Throughout the whole process of going through the divorce, both Mark and Patricia showed me kindness, compassion and great understanding of my situation.Professional, friendly and approachable. Always available to discuss any concerns I might have.
“I was really left in awe by her expertise”
Patricia Robinson was great! Although a very accomplished lawyer, Patricia put me completely at ease from the moment I met her. She simplified such a complex matter in such a short space of time and I was really left in awe by her expertise.
I would not hesitate to recommend her.
“The service I received was second to none”
Tricia Robinson at Slater Heelis was recommended to me for my recent divorce. The service I received was second to none - efficient, friendly and straightforward. Tricia was a huge support to me and made a very challenging few months as pain free as possible - I would thoroughly recommend.
“Best advice possible”
Tricia gave me the best advice possible with her professional and informed responses to all of my issues. Thank you Tricia for getting the best outcome for both myself and my children.
“I really felt valued as a client”
Wow, one firm who do not get their wires crossed. They have handled my divorce, my children issues (Patricia Robinson) and my Conveyancing (Ian Donnison) and my will making (Chris Partington). Throughout the service was really personal and really professional. They didn't set about just billing me, I really felt valued as a client. If you're like me and you are not used to dealing with Solicitors and require a personal service where nothing is too much trouble and the legal advice is both clear and accurate then please use this firm.

Spoke to a very nice and efficient team today.

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.

A fantastic service given. They have been very professional and supportive throughout my proceeding. A wealth of knowledge which was assuring when dealing with my case. I would recommend them without hesitation.
My daughter used Reeds family law and the solicitor she was provided was exceptional in taking her time to explain to all our family the legal terms behind the mess we had found ourselves thrown into. The firm were brilliant in providing information and support to all the family, not just my daughter and I would advise friends to use them if ever they were in a situation to need a legal advice and representation.
Great solicitors very professional right from the reception staff Through to the solicitors.
Couldn’t fault them. My experience was very satisfactory
Highly recommend

“Philip was great at guiding me through the process”
Personal and professional service right from the first phone call.
Would thoroughly recommend.
Philip was great at guiding me through the process and legal jargon!
“Hugely supportive and professional”
I found the Slater Heelis service to be hugely supportive and professional. They steered a process that could have been difficult towards a resolution that was fair and amicable, with sound advice at each stage.
“Protected my mental well being as well as my financial position”
I was referred to Phillip Rhodes by a friend of mine and I cannot thank my friend enough!
At what is the most confusing distressing time , divorce, Phil showed true empathetic professionalism. He guided me through the minefield of law and applied his strong moral value of being fair and equitable by just doing the right thing. At no point even during high drama did he waive from this line and protected my mental well being as well as my financial position. Phil is always available probably doesn’t want me to say night and day but he was for me!
Up and beyond is my summation of this man and to say highly recommend doesn’t do justice to the way I feel.
“Able to give clients a clear honest perspective”
Philip is the best in his field.
He is able to give clients a clear honest perspective. He commands respect when dealing with other professionals.
In my case Philip saw clearly at an early what was the best solution and fair for all parties. He ensured that it concluded on that basis as efficiently as practical.
“Dealt with my case brilliantly”
Couldn’t have asked for a better solicitor. Very responsive and dealt with my case brilliantly. Phil was very kind and genuinely wanted to help which made be feel at ease.
“All in all, certainly recommended”
Thank you to Joanne Taylor and Philip Rhodes on the family law team who assisted me greatly with a long and difficult divorce.
Divorce is not an easy thing to deal with and certainly not a cheap option. What I would say is the advice and efficiency from Slater Heelis certainly kept me sane and believing a reasonable outcome could be achieved, which thankfully it was.All in all certainly recommended.
Very thorough, professional, and friendly service.

My legal team showed professionalism from start to finish and I can't thank them enough.
Extremely professional and pragmatic, relevant and confidential. The expert advice and support was top drawer. Highly recommend.
First time dealing with Royds Withy King but if the need arose again, I would definitely use again! Friendly, informative and there if I had any questions I needed answering.

Family Law Glossary
TOLATA relates to disputes between two individuals who have lived together and now disagree on a matter relating to their cohabitation. Most commonly, this relates to disputes over who owns the property, what the split of ownership is, or who should remain in the property.
Resolution is an industry body with a membership made up primarily of family lawyers. As members, the lawyers agree to conduct their work in line with Resolution’s Code of Conduct which is based on taking a “non-confrontational approach to family law issues”. This means that the lawyer actively tries to reduce conflict between the parties and encourages families to put the best interests of any children first.
The Legal 500 is a directory of solicitors and firms, broken down by geographic region and legal discipline. Solicitors are ranked in The Legal 500 based on their merit and experience, using publicly available information and information supplied by the firm. Annually, The Legal 500 issues awards to individual law firms and solicitors such as ‘Leading Individual’, ‘Recommended Lawyer’, ‘Rising Star’ and ‘Leading Firm’. It is worth noting that the ‘500’ in the name does not refer to the number of firms/solicitors that are ranked, which is actually a significantly larger number. Nonetheless, it is still a highly regarded award in the legal profession.
Each solicitor listed by Wiselaw is independently researched and considered against strict criteria. Examples of the criteria are shown below.

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?
