Established in 1976, Howard & Co. has proudly served individuals, families, and businesses across Barnsley, Penistone, and beyond. With decades of experience, our team of approachable and professional solicitors are here to guide you through life’s most important legal matters — always with care, integrity, and a personal touch.
At Howard & Co, we combine local knowledge with legal expertise. We take the time to understand your needs and provide clear, straightforward advice you can trust. Whether you’re protecting your family, resolving a dispute, or securing your business interests, we are here to stand by you every step of the way.
Over the decades, our firm has grown, our services have expanded and the legal landscape has changed significantly. What has remained constant is our commitment to being a friendly, local team that clients can turn to with confidence. Whether you are facing a difficult family matter, buying your first home, planning for the future, or navigating a complex commercial issue, we are here to guide you every step of the way.
Our solicitors and legal specialists bring together many years of experience across a wide range of areas, including accident and employment claims, family law, wills and probate, conveyancing, social services matters, and commercial agreements. Every case is handled with professionalism, attention to detail and a real understanding of how legal issues can affect everyday life. We do not believe in overwhelming clients with legal jargon; instead, we take the time to explain everything clearly and support you in making informed decisions.
Being Authorised and Regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA No. 8000040) means you can trust that we meet the highest professional and ethical standards. We are also proud members of the Conveyancing Quality Scheme and the Children Law Scheme, further reinforcing our dedication to quality and specialist expertise.
With offices on Victoria Road and Regent Street in Barnsley, and Market Street in Penistone, our doors are open Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. You are welcome to drop in, call us or send us an email if you need advice or simply want to discuss a concern. We understand that every situation is personal, and our team will always treat your matter with the discretion, sensitivity and respect it deserves.
What truly defines Howard & Co. is the long-lasting relationships we have built with generations of clients. Many of the people we assist today were recommended by friends, colleagues or family members who have relied on us in the past. That trust means a great deal to us, and it drives everything we do.
As a firm rooted in the community for nearly fifty years, we are proud to stand alongside the people and businesses of South Yorkshire.
