Excellent Lawyer!

I consulted with Howard about how to cancel an unwanted gym membership and how to prevent the gym from attempting to charge membership fees. He provided me with sound, clear, and practical legal advice on all the issues we discussed. He was reassuring, articulate, knowledgeable and effective. He achi...eved the outcome I was looking for. I would highly recommend him to everyone!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
