Susan Howarth and Co recently dealt with my Court of Protection application so that I might handle my Mum's financial affairs. As they did such a good job with the application, they were the natural choice when it came to handling the sale of Mum's house. Excellent service throughout.

Dear G A belated but nevertheless huge thanks for leaving us your review. Many clients can find dealing with a Court of Protection application to be a stressful and upsetting business for many clients so it's wonderful you've left such positive and specific feedback in relation to this - hopefully other people in a similar situation to you will read this and feel confident that Emma and her team will guide and support them through the process with kindness, sympathy, legal expertise and efficiency. And of course, we're delighted the subsequent house sale was also a positive experience for you. If we can be of any further help or assistance to you or your family in future, please don't hesitate to get back in touch. Kind Regards SH&Co.

Review for Emma Stride

Having experienced your excellent Conveyancing service I had no hesitation in using your services again when I came to update my Will. Sure enough, my faith in your Company has not been lost. The whole process, from the initial meeting through to signing the Will took 6 days (including the weekend). I met with Emma Stride on the Tuesday, the Will was drafted as per my instructions the same day & I received the draft in the post on the Thursday for me to check. I then made an appointment to come into your Offices to sign the actual Will on the Monday. I will have no hesitation in recommending your services to my friends/family or in using your legal services again myself if/when needed.

Dear Heather, A belated but huge thank you for the glowing feedback. We're incredibly proud of our staff, their very real client care, expert legal knowledge and high levels of customer service delivery but to hear that acknowledgement and appreciation from a client is what really counts for everyone at SH&Co. Thank so you much for taking the time to leave us your review and testimony. If we can be of any further help to you in the future Heather, please don't hesitate to get back in touch. Kind Regards SH&Co.

My will needed rewriting. I met a very pleasant female solicitor who dealt with my case very efficiently and promptly. I had two appointments which were kept exactly on time which was excellent. I could not fault the service which I received and would recommend them to anyone looking for legal help at any time.

Fast & efficient service. As a relatively young couple requiring legal services, happy that communication as done via e-mail; no unnecessary meetings. Fees also transparent

I have used various legal services on offer and have always found this company to be professional and caring. The paperwork has been manageable and well explained. I have been able to conduct on-going business, remotely, throughout the Pandemic in 2020, which has challenged us all.

Clear,concise professional advice.
Delivered in a very personal manner,which was both pleasing and informative.
Emma Stride took the time to explain the complexities involved in formulating our joint wills.
We left with a greater understanding of what we had requested.
She gave enough time to ensure all our questions and fears were dealt with.
We would use this company again.

Just sorted my Will out with Emma from Susan Howarth, her advice and help was invaluable. She spoke my language and explained everything in great detail allowing me to make tough decisions without wondering if what I was doing is correct or not. I would strongly recommend Susan Howarth & Co

Probate and Conveyancing. Emma and John helped me and my family through a very emotional and difficult time, providing all the necessary information and guidance to enable us to see our way through the legal maze, to a satisfactory end of process and completion. the solicitors and staff were able to shoulder much of the stress, by being calm, professional, knowledgeable, and above all, kind.

We were attracted firstly because they are local and independent. The drop in, easy access session, was really useful and we were well received and quickly attended to. From introducing ourselves and explaining what we were looking for, right through to its conclusion we were well looked after. We found the staff to be friendly and professional, particularly our nominated solicitor, Emma Stride. We were listened to and the information given to us in return was clear and easy to understand. The progress of the work was well communicated despite challenges relating to the corona virus. We were treated fairly and after completing business I felt assured that we had done the right thing and seen the right company. So it is on that basis I can say we have been very satisfied with the overall service and I would have no hesitation in recommending Susan Howarth & Co.
