A Quick and Efficient Service

5

I contacted Melodie about changing my will. She responded quickly and we had two face-to-face meetings to finalise the will. Throughout the process she was thoughtful and considerate of my needs and very through in detailing the requests I made. A very efficient service carried out with sensitivity.

Friendly and professional service at a difficult time.

I needed to engage a solicitor to help me through the process of probate, updating my will and setting up LPA following my husband's death. My solicitor, Melodie Shelton-Heath, took me through the whole process in a professional and friendly manner. I was extremely grateful for her expertise and advice on all aspects of my case. I would have no hesitation in recommending her, abd Howells solicitors to others.

Melanie was extremely friendly and explained everything to us very clearly. Making a will can be a bit of a scary experience but her pleasant manner really helped to put us at our ease. It was great to deal with a legal professional who combined humour and warmth with knowledge and efficiency.
