John was very professional and understanding of my situation from the beginning right through to the completion of my pension transfer. I was unaware of what the divorce proceedings would en tail but John explained everything fully to me ensuring I understood and if I didn’t I felt at ease to ask questions. It was very stressful at times but John reassured me and put things into perspective. All the hard work was well worth it in the end and I couldn’t have done it without the amazing support I received. Thank you so much and I will definitely be recommending you to people who are unfortunate enough to go through what I did.

Francesca went above and beyond to make the whole moving experience run smoothly and efficiently. Nothing was too much trouble from help with filling in a form question by question to constant chasing phone calls to other parties on our behalf. She was always cheerful and positive and most of all kind. She is an asset to Howell’s Solicitors.

I couldn’t have wished for someone easier to work with. Sasha has been great, always keeping me updated every step of the way. She’s easy to talk to and explains everything clearly if you don’t understand anything.

Navigating the complexities of law at one of the most difficult and stressful times in our lives, needs the utmost care, patience and professionalism
Throughout these challenging times I was glad to have a dependable source to rely upon in Kathryn
I would highly recommend Kathryn and her team to represent you through such times
Domestic Abuse is a hard to cope with within the legal framework that exist today and it is imperative to have the right people to speak for you
Kathryn is that person Your in safe hands

Tried to see someone on short notice but was only told an appointment for a week's time was available. My situation was resolved by this time so I cancelled. The receptionist is very kind and helpful and has a friendly and very attractive face for greeting people upon arrival.
