Superb Legal Representative.

Kathryn is a compassionate, dedicated and professional solicitor. She is evidently passionate about seeking justice, where it is due, for vulnerable adults such as myself. At the time of the charge made against me, I had experienced a first mental health crisis. Kathryn diligently gathered all evidence from mental health professionals, of my longstanding professional background and clear records, and of my pending new exployment, and also insisted on a Probation Report prior to sentencing. Kathryn astutely set out her case of how I was behaving outside of my usual character and my behaviour of sending love-related messages and gift was a symptom of me being unwell at the time (and remorseful on becoming well, again). Kathryn therefore argued for an outcome of 'conditional discharge', which was granted by the courts. It's worth noting that this was outside of sentencing guidelines. Her passion to demonstrate my usual character, judgement and background - and acute mental health crisis at the time of my unwanted messages and gift - is what helped us to achieve what felt like genuine justice. Kathryn was promot in her direct communication with me and always both friendly and respectful in her attitude towards me. I felt as though Kathryn walked right beside me in the most difficult time of my life - and fought for justice with true compassion - for which I'll be forever grateful. Once again, thank you so much, Kathryn; I appreciate your time and help, and admire your passion for true justice.

Excellent Service and Care

Anyone needing a solicitor Megan Wright is excellent. From day one Megan was very professional and had understanding of my needs and supportive. Megan actually cared about those she was representing in comparison to other companies. She has a very good legal based knowledge which surfaces in the court rooms, Megan is firm and direct when required but very compassionate at the same time. I built trust with Megan and because of this I felt secure and safe that she always had my best interest at heart through the whole process. I would definitely be using them again shortly, I wouldn't go to any other place or solicitor's firm. A fantastic outcome for myself in the end,now I can go on and live happily ever after. Mamy thanks Megan

Very Generous and Excellent Lawyer

He not only was very patient with me cus i am bipolar. He went above and beyond and went the extra mile for me. He delt with me very kindly and showed great compassion equalizing with me. He got me a great out come. And then took me to tesco to buy my bin bags to help me clean my flat as the council had given me a deadline to clean it up. I am considering having offspring but i was scared i wouldn't be able to cope with the crying but he said the love they give back easily out ways the stress they can cause. He also bought me food and other cleaning supplies as i had no money. This was extreme

All you expect and more

Great experience in difficult circumstances. When you face a tough time in life and need legal assistance then when someone arrives that is calm, knowledgeable, sympathetic and professional then it is exactly that you need. Megan was great, supported with both a professional and friendly manner. Would highly recommend Megan.

Such a fantastic service, I couldn't ask for anything better. Howells service spreads widely around England and is ranked as best service in England under the legal aid and legal help scheme. If anyone is looking for the best advice then Howells is where you will find it because they take the time to listen to what you have to say as well as what shows on your evidence and provide the best support suited to each and every individual persons needs and I have Patrick Macken to thank for that.

First class

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.

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.

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
