Will

I couldn’t have chosen a better firm to complete my will . Louise Tissington made it so easy for me to, she was very warm receptive and understanding, she was very considerate with my decisions and offered great advice and assistance. I would recommend this firm to my friends or anyone considering making a will. From start to finish the whole process was so easy . You are greeted by a warm and kind receptionist who made you feel so welcome and offered drinks which was truly appreciated. I thank you all for everything.

Medical Negligence

My father passed away December 30th 2022 from a series of failures, failures that unfortunately led to my dad passing.
Howells Solicitors was recommended to me by a work colleague. Amy Fiddler came to visit my mum and I at my parents home, to talk through the options available to us. Amy was lovely, very caring and understanding of the issues we as family were going through, we never felt rushed or that we had taken too much of her time up.
Amy kept us updated throughout, letting us know when she would be out of office and who to contact if she wasn’t around.
Amy gave us lots of support and guidance throughout regarding professionals that may need to be contacted to help our case move forward.
My mum became terminally ill during our time with Howells, Amy supported us and gave us the best advice and support to move forward and bring some closure for our family. Amy was always respectful when discussing monetary terms in regards dads passing and understood the upset this may cause us.

A truly compassionate solicitor

After watching my mum go through a traumatic experience with medical negligence, I then had to go through the dehumanising process of contacting every single medical negligence solicitor I could — going through the worst thing that’s ever happened in detail, over and over only to be told no. Amy was the first person who truly listened and saw the case for what it was — recognised that mental health is just as important as physical, and that what happened simply should never have. She has been nothing but empathetic and attentive throughout the lengthy process from first signing on to now coming to the end of settlement, has kept me updated at every turn and I can’t recommend her enough.

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.
