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.

Friendly and empathetic.

I first contacted Howells a couple of weeks ago. I spoke to Helen Martin who listened to my query, asked questions and opened up a case. She was so lovely as it is an unusual case and I was very emotional. I wasn’t immediately dismissed as some solicitors have done, she has emailed a couple of times to get more information and has kept me up to date. There is no outcome yet as to whether they can take on my case, however the fact they have listened, empathised and understood me and keep me up to date, is refreshing in the legal world. Even if they don’t take my case on, they have done more than others and I would use them again and recommend purely on my experience so far. That first point of contact is so important and Helen was that perfect professional first point of contact and made me feel like they actually care!

A thorough and pleasant experience

From start to finish it was a pleasure to have Howells deal with the work required to buy my property. Having Stephen Taylor as my solicitor was great. At every stage I was informed of the costs up front and the on-going progress. The staff were helpful and pleasant, helped with any questions I had and kept me updated by email. All in all I am glad I chose them.

Thank you so much Louise

Louise was patient, understanding and went above and beyond. Her support allowed me to focus on my kids during this stressful time while she patiently gathered all the information needed to move things forward. I'm try grateful to her professionalism and compassion. I would highly recommend Louise to anyone looking for a solicitor who genuinely cares about their clients.

When other solicitors said there wouldn't be a claim and didn't take time to listen to my case, Howells did. And in result from the hard and persistent work from Sasha and the team at Howells they were able to get me rewarded. Could not recommend enough.

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.
