Although Wendy was my solicitor for a very short time, she worked hard to put a case forward for me. If I had the finances I would've had her all the way through my court case. Wendy is very thorough and pleasant, I would recommend her, highly

I truly appreciate everything Danielle Mahyar of Howells Solicitors has done to support me through my divorce. After so many years of marriage—years filled with precious memories, a beautiful son, and two amazing grandchildren—this was not an easy journey. But thanks to Danielle’s care and professionalism, it became a path I could walk with grace.
Even though Teresa and I are moving forward separately, there is no hostility between us—something I know is not always the case in divorce. We still share a deep respect for one another and a love for the family we created. Our shared memories and future family moments will always keep us connected in a meaningful way.
From our very first meeting, Danielle greeted me with a warm smile and offered nothing but kindness, support, and understanding. She respected my wishes for an amicable resolution and showed great sensitivity towards my wife, which meant a great deal to me. That compassion made all the difference in allowing our family life to continue to grow even after divorce.
Words can't fully express my gratitude. I can only say—thank you, Danielle, from the bottom of my heart.

Danielle was great, from start to finish she was understanding of my situation. She helped me understand the legalities, practices and processes at each stage of my legal battle. She was very well educated and had good experience from similar situations, which was valuable. The outcome was exactly as she predicted and it was the outcome that I had hoped for. I'd definitely recommend Danielle and Howells to others with family law matters.

Danielle provided me with legal advice and supported me as my solicitor as I applied to relocate in the UK with my 4 young children.
Danielle was honest, gentle and extremely thorough. She never left a stone unturned and was particularly good at encouraging me to collect the correct evidence to support my case.
Danielle worked alongside my barrister exceptionally well and together we made a fantastic team. So much so, I was granted relocation and even overturned a CAFCASS recommendation which wasn’t in favour of me relocating. I can honestly say that without Danielle, I would not have won my case.
I would without doubt recommend Danielle if you are looking for legal support. I will never, ever forget what she did for our children and myself. She is an absolute diamond.

Highly recommend Wendy Bailey from the Barnsley Branch, who dealt with a very difficult situation concerning an ex partner who refused to engage in selling the matrimonial home, We had no other choice but to take this matter to the family courts.
Wendy was fantastic! Extremely knowledgeable on family law and explained everything to us, kept us upto date with all developments, responded quickly to emails / telephone calls. Reassured us when we felt very frustrated.
The court paperwork was always filed on time and in depth. Which couldn't be said for my ex partner's legal team.
My experience with Wendy was nothing but positive.
Would I use Howells again? Absolutely!!
Date of experience: Court hearing 02/05/2025.
