Firms we could not fully verify this session

Some Ipswich firms (for example Stowe Family Law's Ipswich meeting venue, listed on the firm's contact page) could not be fully confirmed against the official register at the time of writing. Check any firm yourself in two minutes: search the firm name at https://www.sra.org.uk/consumers/register/ (firms tab) or https://solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk — if it does not appear, it is not regulated.
