I have never had to sell a property before but the whole process was so easy from beginning to end. I even found the client portal easy to use, which for a 64 year old not so technically minded lady is a very good thing. Sofiah has been very supportive and friendly and so helpful.

Mary Rose was incredible from the moment I was at court. Thankfully it is not somewhere I often end up and the humility and understanding Mary showed me was exceptional. She guided me through the process, fought my corner as was required, and got a positive outcome. I am so grateful for her and her teams support and would recommend Mary to anyone facing court.

I reached out during an extremely difficult and emotional time, and Helen from Howells Solicitors responded with genuine care, understanding, and professionalism. Even though my situation was still unfolding, she took the time to clearly explain the legal process, what her team could assist with, and the next steps I could take.
Helen also provided valuable resources for both legal guidance and emotional support, which meant a great deal to me. I never felt dismissed ..instead, I felt heard, respected, and gently guided in the right direction.
It’s rare to find a lawyer who combines deep legal knowledge with true compassion. I’m truly grateful for the time and care Helen and her team offered , highly recommended .

Elizabeth was very polite snd professional. She took her time to talk me through the process, didn't rush any point asking and even answered my questions very promptly via email the day after when i couldn't quite grasp something. Excellent all round service so far.

Howells solicitors Kathryn and megan represented me. I came to the meeting with lots of information relevant and they took time and were attentive going through it all. They answered all questions I had and put me at ease.
At court I got the best possible outcome and much better then expected this was due to their professionalism and great knowledge of the justice system.
Would recommend them both to anyone.

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.
