The Best Family Lawyer!

This is the first time ever that I write a review for anyone or anything. In this case, I felt that I had to do it to show my gratitude and appreciation for Mr Leo Howell who helped me in a Child Custody case. He was very attentive and sensitive to all my concerns and helped me understand the process... of Custody and at the end, the results were in my favor. He is an aggressive lawyer who really fights for his clients rights. Unlike other lawyers that I have dealt with in the past, Mr Howell always responded to my emails with questions I had and always returned my call in a timely manner. I highly recommend his services. He is an experienced and honest lawyer who takes pride in his work and who works hard to achieve the best results possible for his clients. Thank you Mr Howell. You gave me piece of mind in one of the most difficult and stressing times of my life.

Protection From Abuse Case

Leo helped me get the PFA dismissed that my ex-wife issued after me. She was completely in the wrong and caused the incident. Leo helped me prepare for court since this was my first time appearing in court. I would recommend him if you want an attorney to fight for you and answers all your valuable... questions. Thank you Leo!!!

Best Lawyer Around

From the beginning Leo was very upfront with me. I went into this Custody battle not knowing what was going to happen and not understanding the process at all. He took the time to explain everything to me and was always there when I called. He is the kind of lawyer I needed someone not being afraid t...o go to battle for you. He definitely was an amazing lawyer and I would use him again and recommend him . He is very knowledgeable in his field and at the end of the day got me what I wanted.

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.
