Do NOT hesitate to hire Leo!

This is my first experience having to work with an attorney. I was looking for one to represent me in a child custody matter and came across Leo Howell's profile through Avvo. Having read the great reviews about him, I opted for a free consultation. Leo was very welcoming and listened carefully to... my situation. He was very encouraging and confident in his mannerisms, which gave me the confidence and support I needed as well. I decided, before I left his office, that he would represent me. The time, dedication and assistance Leo provided throughout my case is something I'm very impressed with and grateful for. Leo kept me apprised during each step of the process and was always available had I the need to ask a question or clarify something. He went above and beyond to help me with advice when a hiccup presented itself. The communication between him and his office staff was always met with friendliness. Never did I once feel that I wasn't valued as a client. The day of our hearing, Leo called to go over the details, making sure everything was in order and as I wanted. I did not know what to expect from the other party, but Leo assured me everything would go well. At the hearing, Leo confidently presented my case and helped me get everything that I wanted. He went above and beyond again and got additional documents signed for me from the other party. He also offered to pay for the document fees when I said I didn't have any cash with me. Leo truly cares for his clients and I can attest to this. It's not just about money. It's about understanding the needs of his clients and helping them achieve those needs favorably. I am so happy I found Leo and even more happy that he helped win my case! It was a pleasure working with him and I would recommend him in a heartbeat to anyone looking for an attorney in a custody matter!

Child custody

Leo Howell was a beacon of hope to my family at a time when our options appeared limited in our child custody case between my husband and his ex-wife. Not only was he able to help us attain our requested visitation time, his calm and knowledgeable demeanor offered emotional succor to myself and those... I care about most. My husband and I are eternally grateful for his service and I would recommend Leo without reservation.”

Handled custody like a winner

I am a man who won primary over my sons mother against her overpriced attorneys. Leo helped me maintain that custody without breaking my bankroll. He worked with me through scary times and through times I was light on funds. He's out for the greater good and knows that that what pays. He's not lookin...g to get rich from one client.

  • 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.
