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.

Highly recommend Wendy Bailey from the Barnsley Branch, who dealt with a very difficult situation concerning an ex partner who refused to engage in selling the matrimonial home, We had no other choice but to take this matter to the family courts. Wendy was fantastic! Extremely knowledgeable on family law and explained everything to us, kept us upto date with all developments, responded quickly to emails / telephone calls. Reassured us when we felt very frustrated. The court paperwork was always filed on time and in depth. Which couldn't be said for my ex partner's legal team. My experience with Wendy was nothing but positive. Would I use Howells again? Absolutely!! Date of experience: Court hearing 02/05/2025.

Louise made everything smooth and easy when explaining the procedure,needed when my wife and myself made our Last Will and Testements. She was also there to guide me through the minefield called Probate when I lost both my parents, once again making everything easy and straightforward.

Writing my will

Louise was very friendly and helpful with the writing of my will . Howells as a company were also very helpful and everything was dealt with quickly and efficiently also no surprises with the bill which was exactly what I was quoted.

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 have just used Howells Solicitors for conveyancing and Catherine Shelton and the team have been excellent. They were organised, efficient and very responsive with communication. They also gave me the most competitive quote out of other solicitors across Sheffield. I would not hesitate to use them again. Thank you Howells.
