Real estate law is an active area of the firm for its business clients, for clients whose principal business is real estate development or investment for individuals or entities purchasing, selling, or leasing real estate, and for title insurance companies assisting to cure and resolve title defects.
Some people think that estate planning is only for wealthy individuals subject to large taxes. But minimizing estate tax liability is only one reason for estate planning. Estate planning should be contemplated and acted upon while you are healthy and able to implement those decisions which minimize estate tax liability, determine who shall become beneficiaries, decide who shall serve as executor, trustee, or guardian, and develop disability planning.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I endorse this lawyer. Howard is a sharp business lawyer, highly ethical and purposeful.
Cameron Pease, Real estate Attorney on Aug 5, 2011
Relationship: Worked together on matter
For close to twenty years I have worked with Howard. Howard has superior knowledge of the law in many areas, but in particular real estate, condominiums, and civil litigation. More importantly, Howard is extremely committed and persistent in examining, reviewing and studying the facts and evidence in a case which is one of the main reasons he consistently obtains outstanding results. In addition, Howard is cognizant of how rapidly legal fees can mount and he always uses his time productively and cost effectively. I am pleased to provide Howard with this unsolicited endorsement and would strongly recommend him without reservation.
