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.

A good experience

Tom made it as quick and easy as possible to write my will. He led me through the decision-making, explaining everything clearly as we went along. He was sympathetic to my circumstances and had the expertise to advise accordingly. I was very pleasantly surprised by the whole experience.

Excellent Solicitor.

Having dealt with Helen for nearly 3 months, all I can say is that she was professional, understanding, really put her point across in a dignified manner. If I had any questions she would reply in a timely manner and nothing was too much trouble. She is an absolute superstar in her profession and would highly recommend her to anybody in my situation. Thank you Helen.

Speedy, uncomplicated house sale.

Our team of solicitors were always available in person by phone and email. They gave us clear and unambiguous information and treated us as equals, despite our entire lack of knowledge of the process. We are very grateful indeed.

He is the utmost professional, vastly knowledgeable in his field, always willing to answer any questions that you have, explains matters thoroughly and in an easy to understand way, He is approachable, courteous, and reassuring which you need when purchasing or selling a property. Excellent service received at all times.

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.
