Worth every penny

Fred was brutally honest in the best ways possible. He always made sure I was fully prepared for whatever situation may arise and was even more prepared himself for situations I hadn’t thought of. He is a diamond. I can’t say enough wonderful things about my experience with him and my experience as h...is client.

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!

Excellent Family Lawyer

Fred is an excellent attorney. He is very knowledgeable and was able to answer all of my questions, even the most far fetched. He always called me back immediately and made sure I understood everything before ending a conversation. I was able to talk to him like a friend but I trusted him as my lawye...r. He went above and beyond and I would definitely recommend him for divorce and custody.

Excellent!

I was very impressed with the way Attorney Howe handled my case at trial. He was ultra prepared and had a great understanding of the facts of my situation. I will use him again in the future should the n red arise.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
