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.

John is a very professional, knowledgeable, and personable lawyer. Having John and his team on our case has really made a difference in helping us through a very difficult period for the family. Fully deserved 5* rating.

I found Mr Chris Wong to be an excellent solicitor who is very professional and great at his job. His relaxed manor made you feel at ease whilst he gained all the information from you that was required. I can’t recommend Chris enough.

Supportive and Trustworthy

What a journey! And that’s exactly what it is when confronted with potential life changing situations. The time it takes and the need to sometimes have a face to face with a solicitor you trust and takes all the legal lingo and conveys it so you can understand. You need to trust them deeply as again can hold your future life in there hands and that’s why I’d recommend Howells.

A brilliant service was provided for me through the solicitor Zed Shah, a very competent and caring man. Generous with both his time and advice, I'm not quite sure where I would be without him- it is no stretch of the truth to call him a modern day Atticus Finch.

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.

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.
