Mark Chanter was recommended to me as the best divorce lawyer in the county and he certainly didn't fail to pass muster when dealing with my case. Mark is extremely succinct and did not waste his or my time beating around the bush (which I liked and worked well). His clever wording when corresponding with the other side's solicitor and the court was, I feel, paramount in getting the result that we wanted. Highly recommended.

The most useless Solicitors I have ever had the misfortune to have to deal with. Mistake after mistake. They can't get the basics of names right, they answer emails when they feel like it and they have to be told how to do their job. Their associates are incompetent and are unsupervised by their so called partners, so they basically do nothing but make and hide errors. They are rude from the top down. Absolutely appalling service. When I tried to complain, they blocked my email. No care, no service. Avoid at all costs.

I was ushered towards Stephens & Scown by a friend & I'm so glad they recommended them. Very professional & courteous, Verity & the team helped me through a difficult dispute resolution case with my employers. I will never be able to thank her and the team enough for the help, advise & support they gave me. Thanks.

I have received fantastic service from Mark Chanter and his team in dealing with my divorce. It has been a very stressful time but I have certainly been helped along the way every time another problem came along and eventually achieved the best possible outcome I could have hoped for. Thank you to Mark Chanter and all the team at Stephens Scown, Truro. Gloria (now Howard)

I commissioned this firm to assist with the enforcement of a commercial debt issue. From the word go I was impressed with their advice and efficiency. The payment for this debt was achieved in very short order. Their costs were very reasonable. I intend to use them in the future for all my legal work. Ten out of ten. Absolutely first rate! Peter H.

Mark Chanter in the Family Team at Stephens Scown advised me expertly throughout. Mark made himself available and always provided his undivided attention. Mark brought his vast experience in family matters and law, and combined this with realistic and sensible advice to help reach an amicable solution.

Highly knowledgeable and supportive, I contacted the firm by phone and was called back that day by a Solicitor (Mr Jeremy Crook) who quickly understood my situation, provide me with a clear insight to my options and we got things moving. I would highly recommend, very professional, compassionate and helpful.
