It couldn’t have been easier to do, transferring my will over to Howells especially how Kerry Green made it seem so easy to do.
Explained everything from start to finish, kept me informed throughout the process and was a pleasure to deal with her indeed.

We came to see Melody to make new wills and we were thoroughly impressed with the service we received. It turned out to be a lot more complicated than we first thought but she led us through the steps clearly and professionally. Thanks very much.

Charity will
Melodie skilfully steered me through the process of writing my will through the charity arrangement. Everything went smoothly except that Howells send out their draft wills as a pdf which means that you cannot alter it yourself and resend back to Howells. This meant a second visit which really would not have been necessary otherwise.

Free wills support
Enquired with Howells to draft a pair of wills using Free Wills scheme to leave a donation to charity. We were contacted quickly and offered a range of dates and times. Melody was punctual, friendly, and professional. She completed the work we spoke about quickly and accurately. All in all a brilliant job that we would recomend to anyone

This was a Clinical Negligence claim. Howells and particularly Michelle Gyte worked tirelessly, with compassion and professionalism throughout the process.
Importantly, this Claim was brought to a successful conclusion
