Can’t thank Shannon English (Irish) enough!

Throughout an ongoing case I was in communications with Shannon. She was helping me and instructing me with my case and liaising with court & cps. I was at a loss and didn’t know who what when or why and she was there every step of the way.

Very professional and caring representatives

I was in need of a duty solicitor recently when attending a police interview and the individual from this firm that advised and represented me was very nice to confide in. Their level of professionalism and integrity was outstanding and so inviting. I would highly recommend Howard’s Solicitors to anyone out there looking for a reliable and professionally welcoming party to have in their corner in such a time of need.

Helped me to get my life back

After five long years of the CPS making mistakes and prolonging the awful experience I was going though. Milena and her team stuck at it and made sure the truth came out. I feel as though I owe my life to Milena and her team for all their hard work and I can’t thank them enough! Thankyou now and forever!

How it should be done

Shannon breezed in, put everybody at ease immediately. She ran through the system, the evidence and her plan of attack. It was good that she listened to out thoughts with patience and did show a genuine interest in our input. She left the room to speak to the prosecution, we really felt confident that Shannon would put our case strongly. She returned entered the room and declared: case dropped. What a superstar, Thank you Shannon

Had a great outcome thanks to David Thomson at Howard's. Was expecting a conditional discharge plus a £1050 fine. Prosecution tried to get a community order but Mr Thomson my solicitor out across my case with care, took his time and the outcome was no conditional discharge, no community order and a £500 fine. I pleaded guilty (as I was guilty) and thanks to Howard's and Caid Thomson I got an excellent result. Recommended solicitors.

I was worried about the trial and I had no idea if I had chose a good solicitor. Ian was fantastic from the beginning and I knew I was in good hands. He got me not guilty on all counts and I would recommend him to anyone. He was professional but friendly at all times, if you need a solicitor that will represent you brilliantly ask for Ian. He is a credit to Howard and Henry solicitors. Thank you for everything today Ian

Thanks for the great feedback and review. We think Ian is great too!

Legal assistance from Saul

Over the past 12 months Howards Solicitors have been overseeing my case. From the day of my arrest, which led to my first consulation with Jo Gregory, I have received 100% profesional and outstanding support. My case was handled by Saul Gardner, whos work was above and beyond my expectations. Any update was provided at the earliest opportunity and he always made himself available if ever I needed to contact him. In what can only be explained as the worst year of my life, Saul was professional and reassuring, and most importantly to myself, was completely non judgemental. As I suffer hugely with anxiety and depression, it was of the biggest comfort to have such a brilliant solicitor in my corner. On the day of the trial, again very reassuring and I felt as confident as I could that the defence was in it's best possible position, due to the excellent work put in behind the scenes. I would like to thank everyone involved in my case for their hard work. 10/10.

I can’t thank David enough for his help and guidance. He made what could have been a very stressful situation much easier to handle. His patience, clear advice, and regular updates really stood out. I highly recommend Howard Solicitors services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated solicitor.
