Stowe Family Law does undertake
legal work, pro bono and we are proud of our record in this area.
In the past we have successfully represented a number of clients pro
bono, including the following:
- Mrs. Sally Clark for whom we obtained previously undisclosed evidence that led to the quashing of her conviction for the murder of her two children. It also led directly to the freeing of other women from prison, the acquittal of others, children being returned to their natural families, an overhaul of the criminal and civil court procedures and medical and government reviews.
- A student in relation to race concerns at a University which formed part of a national focus on the issue across University campuses across the country.
- A child and his family in relation to an education law dispute with his school. With our assistance, the child remained at his school.
- A father permanently injuncted by a court several years earlier from contact with his child. With our assistance, the injunction was ordered to be lifted.
- Certain divorced wives on their successful appeals from an order of a lower court.
- A high level dispute with the Child Support Agency where the wife had agreed a clean break from her former husband on the basis of agreed child support. The father thereafter sought a reduction and we assisted her pro bono in her appeal to the Child Support Agency and a referral back to court of the entire case.
- A dispute between a University student and her father to obtain appropriate university funding
- A current international custody case on behalf of a terminally ill mother including representations pro bono to a foreign court by our International team.
If you believe you have a case with prospects of success and no other means of funding your case, we may be able to assist you. Please contact us and give brief details which will be kept strictly confidential.
