Denise Woodward

We are sad to announce the death of Denise Woodward, Consultant Solicitor, on 22nd April 2023.

Denise was a valued member of our Family Law Team and a hugely popular member of staff. Denise will be sorely missed by all her work colleagues and the legal fraternity in Chester and beyond.

Darlene Storrar, Managing Partner, says:

"Denise was an excellent Family Law Solicitor and a highly valued member of our team. Denise was dedicated to her work and her many clients and we will miss her enormously. Denise was always cheerful and engaging. Our thoughts are with her large supportive family at this very sad time."

"We would highly recommend your company.  Jane Devine was excellent at all times, made things easy to understand.  We couldn’t praise her enough.  Thank you."

Litigation & Family Law

"“From the moment we first contacted Louise in respect of our Wills/Tenancy she provided a first class professional service. Louise was very helpful throughout and dealt very promptly and efficiently with any queries, taking significant time and trouble to help us understand the legal language. A ZOOM meeting she arranged was a great success. Simply excellent overall. We would recommend Storrar Cowdry without reservation, and would not hesitate to contact you if we needed legal work/advice in the future.”"
