    A professional experience, comes highly recommended

    Having planned on making a will for sometime, I finally made the move after a leaflet came through the door. I found myself actually contacting the Solicitors Howard and Over. I found the whole process easy and I think this was because of the professional approach from all the staff who were all so lovely. Thank you.

    I would like to say thank you to Katherine and her team. My brother and myself have had a difficult 3 year's but Katherine and her team have helped in a calm, friendly but professional way. Nothing was to much trouble and actioned as quickly as possible. It would have been so much harder mentally and emotionally without their help and guidance. Definitely recommend this company for any legal requirements.

      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!
