Family Law - Divorce
I went to Stephens Scown with literally weeks to go before an FDR after a very long legal battle and getting nowhere. Harriet Wigmore, Shavaun Womersley and Grace were incredible in the support they provided and in their knowledge on family law. They worked so efficiently responding to everything to ensure I was ready for court. Georgina Swinglehurst represented me in court along with Harriet, both were phenomenal in the way they worked together to reach fair settlement and ensure closure.
The guidance and reassurance i was given throughout this case mirrored the outcome. I genuinely felt i had people on my side and the hours some days that emails were sent shows this isn't just a job, they genuinely care about the outcome and have passion for what they do.
I would not hesitate in recommending Stephens Scown family law department.

Tenant Eviction
We had decided to sell our BTL which was next door to the house we owned before we moved. Our circumstances had changed in that we no longer lived next door which was one of the reasons we purchased as we lived in a University Town & also to help fund our Daughters 5 years at Vet College. We had given our tenant all of the required notice including Covid & had sold the house, however he didn't want to move out. We had no other option than to engage Helen Thomas who was supporting & informative every step of the way, in what was a very stressful situation our us.
We now have our property back & all being well will complete this month, I would have no hesitation using Stephens & Scown again & would highly recommend their services.

Harriet Wigmore and Liz Allen
I engaged Stephens Scown, namely Harriet Wigmore and Liz Allen, to act for me in my divorce proceedings. In what was a very difficult time for me, they acted with extreme professionalism and provided me with invaluable advice, whilst always listening with empathy to my concerns and they always responded by return to any questions that I had. They never once made me feel foolish or inadequate - unlike the first law firm I engaged. My divorce was settled in a timely manner and with a satisfactory outcome to both parties. Even now, 12 months after my divorce was finalised, Harriet is always willing to answer any ongoing questions that have arisen. I would not hesitate to recommend Stephens Scown and in particular Harriet and Liz Allen. They helped me in a very difficult situation and for that, I will always be extremely grateful.

Dispute resolution
I contacted Stephens Scown in my capacity as Secretary of a Cornwall-based local charity placed on notice of potential litigation brought by a member alleging defamation and harassment, both of which my charity denied. The advice which I received from Catherine Mathews was both timely and pertinent, and written in a way which made it straightforward for a non-lawyer such as I to understand. My telephone conversations with Catherine and her colleague the firm were similarly helpful. I am pleased to say that we were able to dispose of the claim on satisfactory terms, and the advice, both on the law and on the tactics to be employed were instrumental in enabling us to reach this outcome.
