Excellent Advice

Chloe was very polite and professional, listened to my account and then gave her suggested course of action based upon that. Her advice provided a positive outcome and I would be happy to have Chloe represent me if I needed legal advice in the future.

Chris is honestly one of the best solicitors I’ve dealt with. He’s really down to earth, easy to talk to. He explained everything clearly. I’m really happy with the service I received and would definitely recommend Chris to anyone.

Exceptional Support and Professionalism from Chris Wong

I can’t thank Chris Wong enough for the exceptional support, expertise and professionalism he showed throughout my case. From the very beginning, he was approachable, empathetic and genuinely understanding of what was an extremely stressful and difficult situation for me. Chris explained everything clearly and patiently, ensuring I understood my options, the legal process and what to expect at every stage. His communication was outstanding: he kept me informed, answered my questions thoroughly and made sure I never felt confused or left in the dark. I always felt listened to, respected and supported, rather than treated like just another case. What stood out most was the combination of Chris’s extensive knowledge and genuine compassion. He went above and beyond to protect my interests, approached every challenge with confidence and care, and made an incredibly stressful experience much easier to manage. His calm, reassuring manner gave me confidence when I needed it most, and his hard work and dedication helped achieve a positive outcome for me. I would wholeheartedly recommend Chris Wong to anyone looking for a solicitor who combines outstanding legal expertise with empathy, clear communication and a truly client-focused approach. He is professional, committed and genuinely cares about the people he represents. I’m extremely grateful for everything he did for me and would not hesitate to recommend him.

My experience with Howells Solicitors, and particularly Caroline, has been nothing short of outstanding. They have provided me with an exceptional level of support & have consistently gone above & beyond to help me with everything I needed & requested in order to see my children. Throughout the process, Caroline has been friendly, professional, courteous & prompt in her communication. I have always felt supported, listened to & treated with respect, & I cannot thank her enough for the help she has given me. I would highly recommend Howells Solicitors to anyone looking for a professional, approachable & dedicated legal team. Their support has made a real difference to me & my family, & I am extremely grateful for everything they have done.

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.
