Cody has been so helpful, knowledgeable, kind, patient and supportive. Whilst helping me through my divorce she has consistently made sure that I understand the process and tirelessly explains difficult forms and wording to make sure that I had the most desired outcome. She always replies in a timely manner and is thorough. I would recommend Cody and Howells Solicitors.

Divorce Review

I would thoroughly recommend Danielle and the Family Law Team at Howell’s. From our first conversation, I felt that Danielle listened and fully understood my views and what I wanted from the process. All communication was prompt and any supporting documentation clearly outlined the issues raised. Danielle, fiercely defended my interests, stating our position without being overly confrontational. Efficient from start to finish, I would thoroughly recommend Danielle Mahyar in any future legal proceedings.

Professional exceptional lawyer

My experience was something that happened to me in my previous work place , genuinely cannot thank sasha enough for the last 4 years, this lady saw this through to the end and we had a very positive outcome, professional informative and all the way through the 4 years ,never did I have to ask for anything or to find anything out, because sasha had already sorted it,or had already kept you updated by phone or email. No stone was left unturned with sasha and nothing was ever to much trouble, Kind empathathetic to the situation in hand, but always professional and calm. If your wanting a lawyer that will stand by and fight your corner to the end then sasha should be contacted. would 100 % not hesitate to contact sasha again if I needed anything. Thanks so much again sasha you were incredible.

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.

I wanted a will written by a professional and that’s what I got. The whole experience was exceptional, from being greeted by the receptionist to Melodie producing the final document.

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
