Divorce & Financial Settlement

Louise was brilliant throughout my divorce and afterwards. She was very helpful and understanding. Things were completed on time and she answered any questions I had in a timely manor. She explained the complicated legal process very well and made sure I understood every stage of the process. I would definitely recommend Louise Ellis and Howells Solicitors.

My lawyer Danielle Mahyar has been working on my behalf submitting my Clean Break and has done so quickly and efficiently. I would definitely recommend her. She is friendly and knowledgeable and it has been a pleasure having her work on my behalf.

Excellent choice for making a will

Howells also did my divorce which was a great experience. So glad I decided to have my will wrote here too. Smooth experience from start to finish. Tom is very professional on every level. Great communication. Fixed price no hidden surprises. I also decided to change my make half way through and Tom was very understanding with no issues raised. Totally recommend!

Louise the legend!

Louise was instrumental in helping me achieve access to my daughter. A lengthy process (not from her doing) but at every step of the way she and lynne provided support, advice and explained all the complicated parts to help me understand and equip me with the information I needed. Even after my case was completed Louise was happy to give me some advice for a separate matter. Thanks again

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.

Sale of property

Been very pleased with the handling of my sale by Joanna. She kept me updated throughout the whole process and was very efficient replying to emails. Been generally pleased with Howells as also used them for financial matters in my divorce proceedings handled superbly and efficiently by Danielle and have now instructed Joanna to deal with the purchase of my new property. The portal with all the relevant documentation is easy to access online.

Fantastic Service

I have required the use of a family court solicitor over the last 3 years and I have can give no higher praise to the professionalism, confidence instilled by the work ethic provided and overall the real care that was shown in regards to our situation. I would recommend Howells and Laura to anyone seeking to find peace of mind in a difficult situation and I can say without a doubt that the service we received from them was nothing short of exceptional. My thanks and gratitude

Administration mums estate

This was scary for me as I have never had to deal with anything like this before, and I probably caused them more work than needed where I read or had outside advice that I thought was better. Should have just let Melodie Shelton-Heath role with it. She kept me upto date with emails and phone calls, I could phone or email everytime i needed information reassurance. This was a such a relief as I was not sure of what was right way to do anything and short cuts thought was best mostly wasn't. There's a cost, but this was explained to me including a estimated from too amount, which gives peace of mind. Melodie was a great help and for this I am so grateful for everything she did for me. Thankyou very much. Howells Solicitors and Melodie Shelton-Heath Without these I would definitely have messed up

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
