Danielle was exceptionally professional and provided excellent advice in response to all of my questions. She was compassionate and understanding of my situation, and it was clear that the best interests of both myself and my children were always her top priority. Her communication was consistently clear and timely. I always felt informed and reassured, knowing she had her finger on the pulse at all times. Danielle’s attention to detail was outstanding, and she was exactly the kind of person I was hoping to have represent me.
Thank you, Danielle, for everything you’ve done for me and my children.

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.
