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!!!!

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.

Exceptional Attorney

I had a great experience working with Leo to finalize my divorce, I highly recommend him! He was incredibly patient, professional, and very knowledgeable regarding the potential paths my case could take. From the beginning stages of the divorce, he set clear expectations and continued to remain in fr...equent contact regarding new developments. What should have been a simple divorce unfortunately became more complicated, but Leo remained consistently prepared to address issues as they appeared and explained what the next steps were to move the case forward.

Amazing Attorney

I was referred by a friend for representation in a divorce case and it was the best decision I could have made. Attorney Howell is extremely professional and leaves no stone unturned. Not to mention he is extremely patient with his clients and understands their needs. From start to finish I never fel...t misguided. I would highly recommend him for any legal services and should I be in need of legal representation in the future I will be sure to contact him!
