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.

I am so grateful for all the support I have received from Elizabeth she has been a tower of strength and wisdom , explaining in fine detail anything that I don’t understand, I would not have got through the last two years without her and the team of backroom staff , We still have some work a head of us but they make it easier to handle. Thank you

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.

Wills for my wife and myself

Having being recommended to Howell Solicitors by a relative we contacted them and informed them what we required, there was no messing about and we were told a Solicitor would contact us within twenty four hours. True to their word a solicitor called Melodie contacted us and arranged a home visit. We found Melodie polite, professional and her knowledge of wills was second to none. She advised us on every aspect that we required giving us reassurance as to what was wanted. I'm not going to say Howell's are the cheapest Solicitors for what we required but the old saying of 'you get what you pay for' came to mind. My wife and myself are very happy with Howell's Solicitors and would happily recommend them to anyone wanting a water tight will.

Top solicitors at howells solicitors

I would highly recommend Howells Solicitors to anyone looking for professional, reliable, and compassionate legal support. Laura Hill and the entire team have been exceptional throughout the process. They have supported both me and my family with kindness, professionalism, and dedication, always ensuring that everything was handled smoothly and that we were kept informed every step of the way. Laura is an outstanding solicitor who genuinely cares about her clients. Her professionalism, knowledge, and supportive approach made a difficult time much easier for me and my family. I am extremely grateful for everything Laura and the team at Howells Solicitors have done for us. Their support has made a significant and positive difference to our lives, and I will always remember and appreciate their help. Thank you, Laura Hill, and everyone at Howells Solicitors, for your hard work, compassion, and commitment. I would not hesitate to recommend your services to others.

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.

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
