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

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!

Will and lasting power of attorney

I would highly recommend Tom Warlow at Howells solicitors. I was nervous at sorting out my will and LPA but Tom made my experience easy. He is professional and has a lovely personality that makes you feel at ease, and explains everything as you go . He also keeps in touch and will either ring back if you call or just email him and he answers back . We have had a few laughs along the way and can say he made my experience a very pleasant one .

New will

Melodie who drew up my new will was very friendly approachable and professional throughout the process. The online portal that was set up made making amendments very easy. All in all a very easy and straightforward way to make a will. I would highly recommended Howell’s and in particular Melodie to others looking to do the same. Thank you.

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.

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

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
