Ayesha Mistry-Black.

I would like to put on record how pleased we are with the service we have received from Howell Jones, and in particular, how efficient and pleasant you were in providing everything we wished.

I was very happy with the excellent service I received from you and your team. You were very helpful and made the process easy for me. I will have no hesitation in recommending your services to others in the future.

I have dealt with Howell Jones in the past, and now, one again I have no hesitation in recommending Howell jones for help, friendliness and utmost efficiency and advice in drawing up my new Will.

Thank you for assisting me with my will. As an older person, I approached this task with trepidation, however my fears were totally unnecessary due to the highly professional and sensitive way Ayesha advised me. She took the time I needed to explain everything to me in detail. I would have no hesitation in recommending your quality services to anyone in a similar position.

Thank you for all your help and professional guidance in preparing our recent wills. We appreciated your careful explanation and answers to all our queries no matter how small. We would recommend your services to anyone.

We both appreciated your professionalism and the efficient way in which you explained, in detail, various legal matters as well as putting our minds at rest on other more intricate issues.

I found your advice extremely helpful. You were very professional and responsive to my queries and requests and the will was drawn up promptly and quickly. I would be happy to recommend you for this service to anyone else.

May I take this opportunity to thank you for your advice and help, and for the flexibility you offer regarding ad-hoc advice.

Full marks to senior solicitor Ayesha Mistry for guiding me painlessly through the maze of will making. A most professional and patient lady.

My brother passed away suddenly without leaving a will and his estate was quite frankly a mess. Living in Australia with no previous experience of dealing with deceased estates and knowledge of the UK tax and legal system we needed help!

A kindly neighbour of my brother put us in touch with Howell Jones and Ayesha Mistry from the Kingston office.

The quality of the service has been exceptional with outstanding communication and rapid response time to all of our many queries, and patient guidance through the bureaucratic procedures which would have been a nightmare for us to navigate without the specialist knowledge and assistance provided, and all done with the utmost professionalism empathy and good humour. This also applies to the back of house team at Howell jones as well and all the efforts are very much appreciated. Five stars!

Thank you very much for all your assistance with drafting and finalising my Will during the trying times of a pandemic. You always took your time to fully explain everything and to offer guidance for the best way to organise my affairs and to protect my family. I have recommended you to friends.

I was persuaded to transfer my home to a family trust following the death of my husband. When I later came to sell it, to my dismay and distress, I discovered that I was not entitled to use all of the proceeds to enable me to buy a new home. Ayesha Mistry at Howell-Jones Solicitors was able to find a successful resolution to, what seemed to me to be, an intractable problem.

Ayesha truly lived up to the stated values of Howell-Jones Solicitors. She demonstrated high professional standards and knowledge in a respectful and friendly way. Queries were responded to promptly and legal information was presented clearly in a way that a lay person could understand.

I highly recommend Howell-Jones Solicitors.

Thank you one last time for the fantastic job you have done in completing a complex and difficult task. It has been four years in June that Graham died intestate in Malaysia and luckily, he did not have any property, which would have complicated the situation further. I have travelled to Malaysia twice at the request of the Malaysian High Commission, attended court in Kuala Lumpur, organised his cremation and scattered his ashes in a river from an Indian place of worship – so many precious experiences and memories. It has been a huge learning curve for me as it has been my first experience of administering an estate. Your knowledge, patience and guidance have been first class and thoroughly professional, yet I have found you so very approachable that I almost feel you have been a friend in times of need! I have been very impressed with your efficiency in replying to my emails particularly recently with regular updates of the Estate Accounts. It has been a great privilege to have worked with you Ayesha and thank you for everything over the past eighteen months.

A few years ago my husband and I wanted to give power of attorney to my daughter and we asked Howell Jones Solicitors in Kingston to do this for us.

Ayesha Mistry, one of their solicitors, arranged this and other things that we wanted done for us.

A few months ago my husband died and I asked Ayesha, now a senior solicitor, to deal with my husband’s estate.

Like the first time Ayesha acted for us, she did with professional efficiency and explained everything to me in great detail with politeness and patience.

The few times I spoke on the telephone to one of the secretaries they were polite and informed.

I would recommend Ayesha and Howell Jones to any of my friends who needed a solicitor.

I would really like to thank you for all your help over the last few months sorting out mums estate, it has really made such a difference, you have been so efficient and professional. I really cannot thank you enough.

I have been extremely pleased with your service throughout my dealings with Howell Jones, starting several years ago when you kindly visited Michael at his care home in order to take his instructions regards powers of attorney and his new will as his mobility issues would have made it difficult for him to attend your offices. The care and consideration that you showed to him is hugely appreciated. Since Michael sadly passed away last year the administration of his estate has gone smoothly and I am grateful to you for keeping me fully informed of progress during this period. I would like to thank you so much for your advice, support and professionalism.

I would like to thank you for carrying out this work for the trust and the courtesy and efficiency with which you did it. It was especially kind of you to manage the process in such a way as to enable us to keep down the cost to the charity.

The trustees were all grateful for your clear instructions during the deed’s preparation, including the ID verification process. We are all agreed that we would have no hesitation in recommending Howell Jones Solicitors, and in particular your services, to others.

From start to finish, senior solicitor Ayesha Mistry has done a first-class job in settling my mother’s estate. Friendly, efficient and always responsive, Ayesha kept me fully informed at every step along the way. It’s reassuring, particularly for an overseas client, to feel that one’s legal needs are in such capable professional hands.

I have used Ayesha Mistry of Howell Jones to assist me in dealing with my wife’s estate. They have dealt with all the necessary arrangements and have done so expertly and efficiently. I can certainly recommend them to anyone requiring similar assistance.

I have recently been through the process of rewriting my will. It was a much more complicated process than I had expected it to be but luckily I had Ayesha Mistry to help guide me through the process. Ayesha was very patient and answered my endless questions quickly with easy-to-understand explanations. Ayesha is one of the most professional people I have ever worked with and it was a pleasure to go through this process with her. I feel very confident in what was achieved.

I would definitely use Ayesha’s services again in the future if I needed to make changes to my will. I would also use Howell Jones for other legal matters if needed.
