Susan Howarth & Co. Solicitors

Nicola, has been absolutely fantastic representing me family court proceedings , throughout the entire process Nicola has been amazing, exceptionally professional, knowledgeable, proactive and fair.

During one of my tough experience, I was extremely fortunate to have Nicola working for me.

I cannot recommend Victoria enough to anyone who is looking for help with family law.
The support given throughout was second to none. Having worked with Victoria before, it was never in question that I sought her support again.
From start to finish, processes were outlined and clear. Open communication along the way and honest responses to questions asked.
The service received was nothing short of outstanding.

Thank you to the rest of the team at Susan Howarth too, for their services and dedication.

Without hesitation, I would recommend Victoria and the team at Susan Howarth.

My partner sold her house in one day, a nearly-new house, no chains, seemed like a simple sale.
It ended up taking nearly 5 months.
We went long periods of time with no updates, documents found to be sent to the wrong place, poor communication in general and no sense of urgency. The conveyancer who likes to sign correspondence with, "L", refused to meet my partner even when both were in the same building during an office visit by my partner to complain about the level of service. I don't think, "L", ever called, only calling to reply to any of the inquiries by my partner was forced to make.
One mistake was so bad, it may not have been spotted had I not gone in myself to complain.
This whole process caused some hardship because my partner had to pay a mortgage AND rent plus storage charges after moving out of the sold property thinking completion was weeks away, It ended up being months away.
How could such an easy sale take so long? If we were warned it would take 5 months would we have given them our business?
I'm told there is no law against conveyancing taking a long time but we will be making complaints to the FO and the FCA, it seems we just have to report it even if nothing comes out of it.

Nicola recently represented me in Court and was fantastic. Nicola is approachable; very supportive and knowledgeable. Nicola gives professional, sensible and appropriate advice in a timely manner and I appreciate everything she has done to support my family. Thank you!

Nicola represented me through family court for the past few years, at what was a very stressful , upsetting & worrying time Nicola was always available for me to speak to and always reassured me , listened to me and ensured that myself and my children were safe and had the support and knowledge to get through the process. At times when the situation felt unbearable Nicola always ensured I was ok to continue the process. I would recommend Nicola for her empathy , professionalism and superior knowledge

We recently had Nicola Deakin handling a very difficult, toxic and challenging family/child care matter. She is a very competent, knowledgeable, strong and fills you with confidence. She achieved all that we could ask for and more. I would thoroughly recommend Nicola and Susan Howarth Solicitors 100%. Nicola was very clear in her advice, professional at all times and dealt with some very challenging issues. Thank you just doesn't seem enough.

I have had Nicola Deakin as my solicitor supporting, advising and representing me during a very difficult and sensitive private family law court case. Nicola Deakin is a Great Solicitor who gives you the best and most honest advice and will always guide you in the best way possible. She helped me navigate and eventually conclude my case with the best possible outcome I could have hoped for. She is very professional and knowledgable and one of the best solicitors out there! If you have Nicola on your side you know she will have your back and get the job done! Highly recommended and a credit to Susan Howarth who are lucky to have her in their firm! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

After a frustrating period of trying to work my way through the gov.uk site following the death of my wife, Lisa Kingston was of great help in moving matters forward and securing the grant of probate in good time. Her assistance greatly reduced my anxiety at a difficult time.
