Efficient and friendly service

We saw Tom to review our wills and change how we own the house to ensure our son receives half of the house in Trust when one of us dies. Tom explained things clearly and guided us through the process in an efficient and friendly manner. We felt we could ask anything and he answered all questions with sensitivity. What felt like a complicated process was dealt with in a straightforward and timely way.

Update of existing Will

I have never been disappointed by the guidance and advice from Lindsey, a thoughtful, knowledgeable, committed and compassionate professional. I would always recommend Lindsey and Howells Solicitors for an outstanding service and for always going the extra mile for their clients, the ability to remember the tiniest details which really meant so much at the most difficult times.

From start to finish, my case was dealt with in a very professional and sensitive manner. Communication from Howells was friendly, efficient and nothing short of brilliant. Especially, my solicitor Lindsey Rawson, who made me feel confident with the first class service she very ably provided. I would highly recommend Howells to anyone looking for a solicitor in the local area.

Divorce

Having never had experience of solicitors and legal matters, I quickly realised that the support and professional advice Sharon gave me throughout was worth every penny. I appreciated how every step of the process was explained clearly, this gave me the confidence and clarity to deal with my divorce. I felt 100% confident in Sharon and the wider team. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Why John Clegg of Howells Solicitors is one of the best!

I engaged Mr Clegg as my solicitor for handling my divorce proceedings. I choose him as he was highly recommended as a reconciliatory solicitor; and my experience of him justifies his high regard by clients. He guided me through the whole process which included potential obstacles had to be tackled head on. Now at the end of the divorce process I can reflect how Mr Clegg managed it with high degree of care constrained only by the legal regulations. He is highly recommended.

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.
