Howells, Colin Musgrave THANK YOU

Howells gets a 5* for achieving my goal in this divorce, I have used the same solicitors for a different matter and I still got the outcome in the end. Fairly priced for their exceptional work in supporting us customers. Thanks Colin x

I received a good service with a very personal and friendly approach, a very professional attitude and we finished the saga as I was informed at the beginning it would more than likely turn out. I think the original cost forecast was somewhat short sighted but it did evolve beyond the original concept. May be this led to my being a little disappointed at the financial cost on completion - this is not a criticism of the staff but may be caution on giving a projected cost in such circumstances should be avoided.
