Review for John Clegg

I had been with an online divorce company prior to deciding I needed to actually see a solicitor in person. John was honest with me and gave me his honest opinion which made my mind up to switch to him. Best decision I made, John kept it concise and I’m finally through the whole process. Don’t hesitate if you’re unsure go to Howells and ask for John, highly recommended.

John Clegg review

John was straight to the point from the start, though that wasn’t the start for me, I’d been under the care of another ‘Online’ company that cost me over £7k. I liked seeing who I was dealing with and the process became so much easier. John was recommended to me and I turn I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in this awful situation of divorce.
