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.

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.

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.

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.

Child custody

I don't know what my husband and I would have done, if we hadn't found Fred, in our custody battle with my son's biological father. He has been amazing! We had been to other lawyers, but Fred was the only attorney, who truly helped us. I feel he has truly been there for us, and I agree with anothe...r reviewer that he's an attorney you want fighting for you. My husband and I won't hesitate to seek him for legal advice, if other matters or questions rise in the future, or to refer those seeking an excellent attorney.

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.
