Howard Review

We hired Howard a few yrs ago--for back tax liabilities and he was able to answer all my questions and concerns--He was successful with an offer and compromise with the Federal government for a # of years of back taxes... I would highly recommend Howard to anyone in need of help with unpaid back tax...es-- He knows the law and explains to you in laments terms on how to proceed with a successful case..

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.
