Howard Alan Kave's Lawyer Endorsements

Endorse Howard
Ronna L. DeLoe headshot
Ronna DeLoe

Family lawyer | Sep 07

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse Mr. Kave wholeheartedly. I know Mr. Kave because we have worked together on a couple of cases. Mr. Kave's trial techniques are top-notch, and his cross-examinations are absolutely brilliant. I have seen a lot of other attorneys try cases in court, and I've read a lot of trial transcripts, but Mr. Kave stands out as a superb trial lawyer in the field of family law. I know Mr. Kave is thoroughly prepared, is extremely knowledgeable, and cares for his clients. It shows in his trial work and in his trial techniques. He thinks of things to ask on cross-examination that other attorneys wouldn't think of. If I need to refer someone to an attorney in Orange County (or in nearby counties), I would refer him/her to Mr. Kave only. The client would be getting a terrific, hard-working and honest, down-to-earth attorney. If he is this good as a family lawyer, I'm sure he is also an excellent criminal lawyer, because superb lawyers do a great job no matter what type of law they do."

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.
