THE FIRM Founded in the mid-Cheshire market town of Northwich in 1997, Susan Howarth & Co Solicitors is a niche family law practice driven by an ethos and a belief that everyone has the right to access justice.

The firm’s commitment to deliver the highest quality of service to all clients has been paramount since its inception and is evidenced by both its strong reputation as one of the best family law firms outside Chester, Liverpool and Manchester, and the numerous accreditations, panel memberships, legal directory rankings and accolades it’s been awarded.
