    Amazing law firm, and the best solicitor I could ever ask for!

    I was introduced to Nicola in late July of last year, to help me with a very different and emotional case. Nicola Deakin took on my case with total confidence and compassion. All the way through a very difficult and upsetting 12 months she was always on hand and in direct contact night and day. Always keeping me updated straight away. I felt totally relaxed and confident Nicola would get me the result I could only pray for. Not only did Nicola get the result myself and my family had hoped, she went on to get us more than we could’ve ever imagined! I cannot say thank you enough for all she has done. Nicola is a absolute genius when it comes to family law. Certainly the best in the business. Highly recommended.

    First class law firm - highly recommend

    I engaged Susan Howarth & Co for what turned out to be something of a complex and difficult case. Nicola Deakin took up this mantle with total confidence, understanding and compassion. Throughout the case her precise and direct approach was greatly appreciated both in terms of updating me and responding where required to others. Nicola was in regular direct contact and I felt totally at ease knowing that the best possible outcome was a realistic expectation due to Nicola's hard work, determined and disciplined approach. Whilst I hope to not need to engage a law firm again for the foreseeable if I ever did need legal representation in future my first phone call would be to Nicola irrelevant of the issue at hand, she is a credit to her law firm and above all a top tier legal professional. Highly recommended.

    If I could give a 0 star I would phoned up last week said I can have a Wednesday appointment between 10/11am sounded promising 1pm comes no call so I ring them did she not ring you no? Okay she'll ring you later 4pm comes no phone call so I ring them oh she tried ringing and there was no answer nobody tried ringing me then they say oh she went to court so she didn't have time to ring you okay so why lie to me? " can't you just go to court" no? If your having child problems DO NOT go to these you will waste your time

    Susan Howarth & Company

    Dear The, Thank you for sharing your experience, and we are sorry for the frustration and inconvenience caused. We completely understand how stressful and disappointing it must have been to wait for a call that didn’t happen, and to receive conflicting information. This is not the level of service we aim to provide. Your feedback will be taken seriously, and we will review our communication processes to ensure this doesn’t happen again. We truly apologise for the stress caused and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Please do reach out to us directly so we can try to resolve this matter for you.

      Exceptional Service by a great team

      I received an excellent service from the solicitors throughout the sale of my mother’s house, using my Power of Attorney. Communication was consistently clear, prompt and professional, and I was kept well informed at every stage of the process. The sale was handled efficiently and professionally from start to finish, which made what could have been a stressful experience so much easier to manage. I really appreciated their support, attention to detail and approachable manner throughout. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone looking for a reliable, professional and communicative solicitor.

      Great experience!

      We have recently used Susan Howarth Solicitors and for the sale of an existing property and the purchase of our new home. Susan Curzon and her team were very helpful and in constant communication with us throughout the process, providing advice and support when needed. This made the process for us much less daunting as we felt reassured that we were in good hands! We would recommend to anyone looking for a solicitor or their services.
