Very friendly, knowledgeable, understanding, patient and punctual.

I would highly recommend Ellie, she was very friendly, knowledgeable, approachable and punctual turning up on a house visit at the time that was arranged. She was very understanding and patient with my disabilities. I was very happy with the service that was given with making my Will.

This "daunting" prospect was made all the more comforting by the friendly but also highly professional way in which the Solicitor led us through the process answering all our questions in a straight forward and jargon free manor. Many Thanks

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.

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.

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!
