Custody and Child Support

Fred made sure I got 50/50 custody with my daughter and fair child support amount. He was on top of everything and he was able to get a custody agreement done before we went trial. It’s a tough situation having to fight for fair custody of your child as father. He mad me feel confident that it would ...go through and it did. I highly recommend his services.

Posted by anonymous | April 18, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Uncontested Divorce

Fast, efficient, practical and pragmatic

Hired Fred to assist with a non-contested divorce, he had everything filed, finalized and approved by the court in only 92 days (90 day mandatory waiting period, papers filled the next day, approved the day following). I don’t think it’s technically possible to go any faster. Fred was fast, effici...ent and extremely responsive. He’s a practical and pragmatic attorney who can explain the legal process. He said what he was going to do, and did exactly as promised. Fees were very reasonable. I would highly recommend Fred Howe to anyone needing legal services.

Posted by Diane | January 28, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Professional Lawyer

I hired Fred 10 years ago as my divorce attorney. He is very knowledgeable of the law. He explains things in "my terms" so that I understand my rights and entitlements. He is very knowledgeable of the court system and knows how it works. He successfully followed my case through the divorce process by... pushing a lagging system all the way. In recent years, I have continue to retain Fred for counsel on repeated issues with my ex-husband related to support and custody of my children. I have been satisfied with my representation and received the results I had hope for. Fred is the type of lawyer that is available when you need him and will lead you in the right direction.

Helped establish a custody order for my daughter when numerous tries to figure it out between ourselves failed

Attorney Howe is very up front and explains how every aspect of custody works &what types there are. My ex and I repeatedly tried to figure out schedules ourselves and it left frustration, constant inconsistencies for my daughter, and no secure guidelines. Attorney Howe was solely focused on what was... best for my daughter and helped everyone amicably come to a great resolution. Hands down, the best decision I have made, in regards to her custody, was going to him so we could have a consistent schedule!

Posted by Maryann | July 29, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Adoption

wonderful attorney

I wish there was an option of ten stars. Fred is by far the best attorney I have ever used. We adopted our Grandson and Fred was just the attorney we were blessed to have. After years of raising our Grandson with only a custody agreement, we went to see Fred with our concern. I wish we would have fou...nd him sooner. He eased our fears of losing our grandson and filed for Adoption. He was amazing! He answered every question I had and was able to put our minds at ease. He answered my calls or called me right back we I needed him. Fred worked with us financially and never brought up payment before he preceded. Because of Fred our Adoption went through smoothly.

  • 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.
