Excellent in every respect
I was subjected to an acrimonious divorce, which had 'blindsided' me and put me in an extremely difficult and vulnerable situation. To begin with I was very anxious about the divorce process, but I need not have worried. It was quickly clear to me that John Clegg is a highly capable and experienced lawyer. He guided me through every step and did so in a way that I could understand. His communication was prompt, polite and helpful throughout, and he was always on hand to answer my numerous questions. I found John, and all the other staff members with whom I dealt at Howells, to be highly professional. Highly recommended

Kind understanding and professional support from Megan Wright helped me to defend myself and clear all the accusations against me which were thrown out with no further action, against unlikely odds. Great support would highly recommend. Thanks

Chris has been my husbands solicitor since 2017. He is a awesome guy funny, witty but incredibly professional. He has done us proud... Stands up in court very firm and clear as he studys the case and understands everything. Never judged us once
Highly recommended and an absolute pleasure to work with

Thoroughly recommend Chris Wong, an exceptional solicitor & frankly I wouldn’t want anyone else but him by my side defending me. Just been through the worst kind of traumatic experience of my life & Chris has remained, throughout, available, friendly, informative, professional & understanding, resulting in the best possible outcome.

Medical claim
Amy has been excellent in communicating with us from day one. She has made sure we have understood everything every step of the way even broke it down into words we can understand none of this solicitor jargon. Such a pleasure to have had Amy's support throughout, I would recommend her to anyone needing help with a medical claim. Such an asset to the company.

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.
