Beyond Expectations

I have been through my share of attorneys with child custody issues. Until I found Fred, I was never satisfied. However, after our very first conversation I felt I was going to be pleased with his work. I was right. Fred listens, he is responsive, knowledgeable, fair, caring, trustworthy, and honest.... He takes time to make sure you understand everything about the case & proceedings. He answers all your questions, and discusses your case at length until you feel comfortable. I felt like I had a friend by my side during trial. I knew he had my back. If you are looking for an attorney, stop looking and call Attorney Howe. I highly recommend him and would use him for his services again without hesitation.

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.

Ignorant

This attorney was very ignorant towards the other party in my case and was completely uncecessary. If he cared what was best for our child he wouldnt have been so abrasive towards the other party. Curses at women and then told my ex to file for support behind my back. Too expensive for this type of b...ehavior. Only cares about whose paying him.

This review was made by the the mother of a child who's father (Charles) is actually my client. She was upset with the outcome of a custody conference and decided express her anger on this site by falsely identifying herself as my client and providing a poor review. Very sad situation.

Custody Case

This case dates back to 2007. I had lawyers for other cases, but never for child custody. From out of the gate, Fred was very understanding and did his absolute best for me throughout the course of the case. I think he truly cares for his clients and only wants what is best for all involved. I am wr...iting this review now in 2016, because I just left Fred a message telling him that I need his attorney expertise once again. I would (and have) recommended Fred to several people because honestly these cases are way too important to just hand over to any attorney. Fred is very diligent and intelligent, so I feel quite confident in trusting him with these new cases that I have. Thanks Fred!

Custody, Family Law

Attorney Fred Howe was recommend to us by word of mouth. He helped us with retaining custody of my child. He was very thorough, knowledgeable, and understanding. He explained everything so that I would know what I should expect before we went to court. I would highly recommend his services to anyo...ne seeking counsel.
