Incredibly helpful and patient during a difficult time
I'm incredibly happy with the services provided by Melodie, and I am very fortunate to have met such a thorough solicitor. She helped me through the process of probate and the instructions provided for documentation required was very clear. It's a difficult thing to deal with, but Melodie made everything so much easier to manage. As well as probate, Melodie has helped me with conveyancing and my will, which I am very grateful for. I would highly recommend Melodie and Howells Solicitors for these services. Thank you!

Excellent service.
I had to make a new will and set up LPA due to change in circumstances. Everything was clarified and made easier to understand at each point in the matter. This made the whole process for each aspect much easier to make decisions about. Melodie was supportive and friendly; this helped greatly regarding putting me at ease and helped me feel more confident in what is not an everyday situation. A wholehearted thank you!

A Quick and Efficient Service
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.

Excellent service
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.
