What Do Our
Clients Say?

"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. They came to visit my mum and I at my parents home, to talk through the options available to us. They were 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 their time up. They 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, they supported us and gave us the best advice and support to move forward and bring some closure for our family. They were always respectful when discussing monetary terms in regards dads passing and understood the upset this may cause us.

"Howells have been brilliant since they took over our case. They are very efficient and get the job done. Always reply’s to my emails straight away and pushes to get things done as quickly as possible. Without Howells we wouldn’t be getting the justice our daughter deserves."
