Talking to a stranger about a personal medical situation

Helen is a great listener, she had a calm and careful approach when listening to my story. She has great empathy and takes time to fully understand the situation. Helen also gave me the picture from a legal perspective being clear and concise. I would highly recommend Helen of Howell’s Solicitors. However complex a case is she will listen and deal with a case professionally.

Medical Negligence Claim

Throughout the entire process Elizabeth was amazing. She was very supportive for me and my children with the sensitiveness of our claim. Very professional and was clear with her advice. Responded to emails and phonecalls very quickly. I would highly recommend anyone to use Howells Solicitors for any legal matters they have.

Helping Hands

I am so grateful for all the support I have received from Elizabeth she has been a tower of strength and wisdom , explaining in fine detail anything that I don’t understand, I would not have got through the last two years without her and the team of backroom staff , We still have some work a head of us but they make it easier to handle. Thank you

Amy Fiddler is currently handling my medical negligence case and she is just incredible. Right from the start she has gone above and beyond, late night telephone appointments, keeping me in the loop, always available to answer questions. She genuinely cares and it makes the whole process so much easier to manage emotionally. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to help me through this - 5 stars isn’t enough!

A representative from Howells Solicitors responded to this review

Dear Rebecca Many thanks for the 5 star review. I will pass on your comments to Amy and the team at the Sheffield office.

5 star solicitor ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Michaela has been my solicitor for just over 15 months and has helped and supported me while going through the process of a property buy out. She is absolutely amazing at her job, and has done everything she possibly could to assist me and help me through out the last 15 months. I couldn’t have done it without her. She is really amazing! I would definitely recommend Michaela to anyone that is going through anything that requires a family solicitor. She will help and support you and she does everything she can do you get you to the finish line. Absolutely brilliant. 5 starts ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We were so lucky to have Catherine Shelton as our conveyancer she is truly amazing, patient and understanding we had a long wait for a property in probate but Catherine remained very understanding of the frustrations and actually ensured that once the property had come out of probate we were set up and ready to go, she planned and organised it all perfectly which made the conveyancing go very well. Thankyou Catherine for chasing up on matters, organisation and understanding of our situation and for making our experience in buying a home for the first time easier.

Joanna and Megan were brilliant for our sale and purchase. They were patient, understanding and clear is every correspondence we had. We never once had to chase them up, they provided updates at every stage. If I needed to call they were always there to talk to and explain any questions I had. Seamless from start to finish. Thank you
