Great Lawyer

Mr. Vex helped me during a difficult time in my career. He's an excellent lawyer; knowledgeable and trustworthy. I needed him for a PBA matter. He was classy and honest in his approach, very respectable. I highly recommend him.

Unresponsive

I called Mr. Vex's office 3 times over the course of 6 days, carefully explained my need for a consult and the reasons why, and NEVER RECEIVED A RESPONSE from him. Perhaps if I had been able to speak with him I would have appreciated the consultation, but, unfortunately, there was no consultation bec...ause there was NO RESPONSE

Vex Law.

This is my second time retaining Mr. Vex, he is a excellent Attorney and a very good man. Vex Law, fights for the underdog and cares about the people they defend. If anything may change in my case, I am immediately updated of all proceedings. Mr. Vex’s, always calls and returns my calls, keeping me... well informed and aware. His counsel is incomparable because, he genuinely cares about his clients he defends and protects. Mr. Vex, has also , counseled me on a personal level as well. If I had a legal question on a particular matter, Mr. Vex, would advise me to the best of his ability and guide me in the right direction. If ever I didn’t understand or know a question of law, from a legal standpoint, he would quickly break it down for me.. in layman’s terms, for full understanding. Great attorney, I’ve recommended Vex Law, to family and friends and will keep on doing so.

Thanks.

I highly recommend Howard Vex. His office is very convenient right off the highway from route 80, 287, 280 and Route 46. He actually goes the extra mile to help you with anything he can he said down with me and help me with anything I need help with word by word. Nicest guy in the world.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
