High-Conflict Divorce

Attorney Leo Howell is a true professional and gentleman. He represented me and did extensive research which was successful, as I received the court judgment in my favor. He is diligent and his work ethic is impeccable! My divorce was a High-Conflict Divorce which was already approaching the 2 year... marker when I retained him. He advocated for me and my Reproductive Rights. My divorce has finally been Finalized and I cannot THANK Attorney Leo Howell enough!!!!

If it matters to you it will matter to Leo!

I met Leo about 9 or 10 years ago. I knew then I wanted to hire him for a custody issue. Unfortunately I couldn't due to other circumstances. So I eneded with another joker of a lawyer. Because of that things only got worse. For 10 years I have dealt with the same custody issue with the same person. ...Finally I had enough. I wanted someone to care, someone to make my issues and kids important to them. Enter Mr. Howell. Leo kept me grounded and focused. Leo made my situation very important to him. The things that weighed heavy on my shoulders Leo made important to him. The only regret I have hiring Leo now, is that I didn't do it 9 years ago. I am grateful to God that Leo was able to take on my case and make it as important to him as it was to me. I essentially got what I need and then some. I was heard and my kids were heard. I will hire Leo any given day of the week for anything possible. Leo thank you so much.

Best Lawyer in Town

Last Friday you arrived early and for the first time a Divorce Lawyer actually strategized with me and helped defend me. Thank you for going above and beyond to help me. I wish I found out about you sooner. I will recommend you to anyone I know who needs a good divorce lawyer. This divorce was the wo...rst part of my entire life, and you were the best part of the entire divorce process. Your demeanor, knowledge, energy, intellect, and just the way you carried yourself was 10 out of 10, A plus, fantastic. You're awesome. You da man. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

A Great Lawyer can provide Peace of Mind Amid a Divorce

Leo was incredibly easy to talk to, radiating patience and kindness. Throughout the emotional journey of a challenging divorce, he uplifted my spirits and brought laughter into my life. As a skilled lawyer, he guided me through each step of the process while empowering me to make my own decisions.

Best Lawyer in town hands down.

Mr. Howell took on my custody case a week and a half prior to my hearing. He was very professional, very honest and told me exactly what we were doing and what to expect every step of the way. Mr Howell helped me get custody of my son back and I’ll forever be grateful to him. Highly recommended for f...amily court.
