From the initial consultation on, Fred T. Howe, Esquire, really listened. His professionalism and responsiveness made me feel supported throughout the whole legal process.

Best lawyer I had ever had the pleasure of meeting and working with. He listened to everything I had to say. I would definitely use him again and I will definitely recommend him to others.

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.

Great lawyer, and a great guy.

Fred was really honest and upfront from the beginning to the end of my custody case to get more time with my daughter. He explained my rights as a father and was very professional and had no problem answering any questions I had and very fast response times. He actually let me know that he welcomed a...ny questions I may have and encouraged me to ask them. Fred is a good guy and a good lawyer. I will definitely use him again if the need arises.

Excellent lawyer

I recently contacted Fred regarding custody arrangements and he didn’t hesitate to make an appointment with me and my ex. He was very knowledgeable and polite through the entire experience. He explained everything in detail to make sure both parties understood what was going on and made sure we were ...both in agreement with everything we were signing before going through with anything. He took his time to make sure we felt comfortable with what we were doing. I can’t say enough how excellent he was to work with!

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.
