Deed of Variation
This review is for a different branch.
I have recently used Fiona to organise a Deed of Variation for a bequest I was due to receive. Communications were always speedy and clear and, also, her estimation of costs for the process were accurate, always a plus!
A representative from Harrowells Limited responded to this review on 19 August, 2025:
Hi Nick, Many thanks for your review and great to hear that Fiona was spot on with her explanations, updates and those cost estimates!

Exceptional Service
This review is for a different branch.
Mr. Matt Rowley represented me during a period of exceptionally sensitive and stressful legal proceedings, and I cannot overstate the quality of his service, professionalism, and dedication. From our very first meeting, Matt approached my case with exceptional preparation, leaving no detail unexplored. He meticulously examined every piece of information, identifying the crucial key points that would ultimately prove decisive in the matter.
His ability to analyse complex issues and distil them into clear, actionable strategies was remarkable. Matt anticipated challenges before they arose, and his thorough preparation meant that nothing was left to chance. Every submission, every argument, and every document reflected an in-depth understanding of both the facts and the broader legal context.
Alongside this sharp strategic insight, Matt displayed a rare combination of empathy and professionalism. He explained each stage of the process in plain, understandable terms, enabling me to feel informed and always involved. His calm, reassuring presence helped to manage the inevitable stress of the proceedings, while his unwavering attention to detail gave me full confidence in his representation.
Matt’s work ethic and commitment were evident throughout, from the precision in his case preparation to his skill in pinpointing the issues that truly mattered. In a time of great personal difficulty, his diligence, integrity, and strategic clarity made a profound difference to the outcome and to my peace of mind.
I would recommend Mr. Matt Rowley without hesitation to anyone seeking a solicitor whose preparation is second to none and whose insight into the critical points of a case is both rare and invaluable.
A representative from Harrowells Limited responded to this review on 14 August, 2025:
Dear Mohammed, as you know, Matt has always been keen to provide practical support and guidance throughout the process, so it is great to read that you felt that he very much achieved that.

Fiona handled the estate of my Mother after her death. The entire matter was dealt with care and skill. Fiona communicated every step to the family and worked with compassion at all times. I'd like to thank her and the team for their professional approach while dealing with this sad task.
A representative from Harrowells Limited responded to this review on 14 August, 2025:
Hi Steve, It is very good of you to leave this review, together with your very kind comments. We will, of course, pass on your thanks to Fiona and her team.

Overall positive
This review is for a different branch.
Harrowells York was experienced and helpful resulting in a successful claim. My consultations were very thorough. I felt listened to and Grace guided me through the process in depth. All emails were very detailed and gave me lots of choice but while some emails were replied to promptly - others took weeks for a response. Furthermore, I found it challenging to contact Grace by telephone in general. Although long, overall the process was smooth and went very well. I am appreciative of what Grace has done for me.
A representative from Harrowells Limited responded to this review on 12 August, 2025:
Hi Toby, we are so pleased that Grace was able to steer your claim to a successful conclusion and that you felt you received clear explanations along the way; it is very helpful to have your comments about communication as, with these types of claims, the rate of progress can ebb and flow and we need to ensure we manage expectations in that regard.

Professional, engaging, and very supportive
This review is for a different branch.
This was the second time I had to call upon Amy Foweather and her team for legal advice, support, and service. I had no hesitation in re-approaching Amy following the professional, friendly, and completely supportive service I received the first time around.
Amy and her team guided me through all the necessary stages and made me feel at ease at every touchpoint. Costs were also managed and optimised right across the timeline of my case, which was really helpful.
I would fully recommend Amy and the Harrowells team for legal services.
A representative from Harrowells Limited responded to this review on 05 August, 2025:
Hi Mark, Amy, Dawn and the wider Family team are all so pleased you felt they looked after you along the way. We are very grateful for the glowing review.

I am very grateful to Harrowells, especially so Mr Black, he was professional, honest, knowledgeable and very reliable. He helped me with a home sale, and the results were better than I hoped, because of the effort he put in. I am very happy with the cost, and the service I received from this company. I entirely recommend them, have trust in knowing they will do the best they can for their clients. Many thanks.
