UPDATING MY WILL

I was very impressed with the professional and efficiency I received from Ellie Colbourne starting from my initial telephone call enquiry about amending my Will through to the final meeting to sign my amended Will. I would certainly recommend Howard & Over to someone else.

Will writing service

Excellent service. Explained our wishes in lay terms, the solicitor converted them to "legalese", and she then took the time to explain the meaning of each point. She also gave us advice on a few issues we had not considered. Quick, efficient and professional.

I was so lucky to be passed on to Baden while seeking some initial advice. We had an issue with an independent school that our son was bullied at for several years unbeknown to us. We didn’t know the extent of the bullying until it came to a head and decided to remove our son from the school. To start with, Baden was the first person who actually asked how my Son was. He genuinely seemed concerned with the information that I shared with him. Baden was professional, kind and gave honest advice without giving me false hope. He gave me the determination to challenge the school, which we did and won. Should I need legal advice in the future I will definitely call Howard & Over. Due to his professional and compassionate approach I couldn’t recommend Baden enough. He doesn’t know how much his advice helped me through a difficult, stressful and upsetting time last year. Huge thanks B

Dear Rebecca. Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. We are truly pleased to hear that Baden was able to support you through what sounds like an incredibly difficult and emotional time. It is especially meaningful to know that you felt listened to, understood, and properly guided throughout the process, and that his advice helped you achieve a positive outcome for your family. We will make sure your kind words are passed on to him.

Having successfully used this company in the past, I recently had an unpleasant experience. Because I asked 2 questions about identification material, which they already had from the last transaction, and why they required a £250 deposit from me and £250 from my wife, they decided that there was a ‘lack of trust’ and closed the account. Inexplicable and sad. No stars this time I’m afraid.

We recently worked with Danielle at Howard and Over during our house move, and the experience was outstanding. Having dealt with other solicitors in the past, we were prepared for the usual frustrations, but Danielle completely changed our perspective. She was incredibly efficient, maintaining excellent communication throughout the process. Every query we had was answered promptly and clearly, which was a huge relief during what could have been a very stressful time. Her guidance and support were invaluable, especially given the added pressure from our sellers. Thanks to her expertise and professionalism, the entire process was smooth and stress-free. We can’t recommend Danielle and the team at Howard and Over highly enough. If you’re looking for a solicitor who is not only reliable but also a pleasure to work with, look no further!

Used Howard & Over to purchase our first property. They were reasonably priced, went above and beyond and quick to respond to all enquiries. Would also highly recommend Danielle Soanes!
