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.

Excellent, Professional Service

Stephen Taylor at Howells has dealt with two sales and a property purchase for me in recent years. I can highly recommend him. He is the utmost professional, vastly knowledgeable in his field, always willing to answer any questions that you have, explains matters thoroughly and in an easy to understand way, He is approachable, courteous, and reassuring which you need when purchasing or selling a property. Excellent service received at all times.

Divorce

Having never had experience of solicitors and legal matters, I quickly realised that the support and professional advice Sharon gave me throughout was worth every penny. I appreciated how every step of the process was explained clearly, this gave me the confidence and clarity to deal with my divorce. I felt 100% confident in Sharon and the wider team. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

I can't speak highly enough of Joanna and the wider Howells team. They recently acted for me during the purchase of my first property (a flat in London). They were superbly helpful, thorough, and communicated brilliantly throughout. I'm glad to have not had the "nightmare" experience as first time buyers may people report. Thanks Joanna!

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.
