The legal terminology used in some of the clauses can be difficult to understand without a face to face explanation. The lawyer we used to complete the final document clarified all our points where required to ensure we fully understood promptly and efficiently. Parking around the Sheffield office can be a challenge.

Stephen is a most patient and considerate practitioner with gentleness in his diligence and efficiency . In matters of conveyancing the stakes are high and it’s a significant time which made me appreciate all points of contact with staff members as his colleagues.

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

I was recommended these Solicitors by my chosen Estate agents to assist with conveyancing for a property I was selling. Their reviews were promising and I was keen to make the experience go as stress free as possible. There was very little contact in the first 5 months after agreement of sale and I just put this down to work being completed in the background. 6 months down the line I had to finally check on progress as the sale was meant to be simple, was chain free on both parties and I was concerned about the unstable way the property market and mortgages were playing out in the media. I would have really appreciated a regular courtesy email to update on the situation rather than have to chase and rely on my estate agents for feedback (Hunters - who were excellent from start to finish). I resorted to having to send messages weekly to try and draw out information to what should have been an uncomplicated sale. I thank Jane Nightingale for the help she gave and I appreciate a lot of the barriers came from the buyers Solicitors dragging their heels. Overall it was an ok experience and as a professional myself, I had higher expectations for the fees I was paying. I thank Howells for getting me through eventually, despite a weeks delay after agreed completion. Careless error on Buyers Solicitors part to request release of funds caused the delay and in my opinion should have been a fundamental task to do ahead of exchange and completion. I was fortunate not have booked removal vans etc…..

Divorce Review

I would thoroughly recommend Danielle and the Family Law Team at Howell’s. From our first conversation, I felt that Danielle listened and fully understood my views and what I wanted from the process. All communication was prompt and any supporting documentation clearly outlined the issues raised. Danielle, fiercely defended my interests, stating our position without being overly confrontational. Efficient from start to finish, I would thoroughly recommend Danielle Mahyar in any future legal proceedings.

Professional exceptional lawyer

My experience was something that happened to me in my previous work place , genuinely cannot thank sasha enough for the last 4 years, this lady saw this through to the end and we had a very positive outcome, professional informative and all the way through the 4 years ,never did I have to ask for anything or to find anything out, because sasha had already sorted it,or had already kept you updated by phone or email. No stone was left unturned with sasha and nothing was ever to much trouble, Kind empathathetic to the situation in hand, but always professional and calm. If your wanting a lawyer that will stand by and fight your corner to the end then sasha should be contacted. would 100 % not hesitate to contact sasha again if I needed anything. Thanks so much again sasha you were incredible.
