Excellent service

I used Sharon for divorce proceedings and valued her communication, advice, clarity and the time she spent helping me make sense of the process as required. I felt really heard and supported during a difficult period and was grateful for her being my solicitor.

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.

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 Advice

Chloe was very polite and professional, listened to my account and then gave her suggested course of action based upon that. Her advice provided a positive outcome and I would be happy to have Chloe represent me if I needed legal advice in the future.

My experience with Howells Solicitors, and particularly Caroline, has been nothing short of outstanding. They have provided me with an exceptional level of support & have consistently gone above & beyond to help me with everything I needed & requested in order to see my children. Throughout the process, Caroline has been friendly, professional, courteous & prompt in her communication. I have always felt supported, listened to & treated with respect, & I cannot thank her enough for the help she has given me. I would highly recommend Howells Solicitors to anyone looking for a professional, approachable & dedicated legal team. Their support has made a real difference to me & my family, & I am extremely grateful for everything they have done.

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.
