Stowe Family Law LLP will shortly be opening in Hale.

Says Marilyn Stowe: "Just over 25 years ago, I started my firm' - a woman solicitor on her own - in a converted cobbler's shop in a Leeds suburb. I had to fight hard to succeed in a male dominated world. And my practice grew.

"Today, from our stunning headquarters at The Old Court House in Harrogate, north Yorkshire, I head a team of 20 lawyers, including a European dual qualified lawyer, and a team of forensic accountants making up one of England's largest, most experienced and most respected family law firms, in this country and internationally.

"We handle cases of all sizes, in all areas of private family law. We have achieved stunning successes for our clients, using our combined skills of advising, advocacy, negotiation, conciliation, mediation, collaborative law, forensic investigation - working together as a team for the benefit of every one of our clients.

"I hope if you need family law advice, you won't hesitate to contact us. We will help you through a very difficult time, and help you come to terms with your future in the best way we can."
