Very fair and knowledgeable

My name is Eric Brooks. I hired Mr Howell and I could not have been more pleased with his conduct and expertise. I would highly recommend his service to others. Not only is he very professional and has great knowledge of the law and his ability of applying his knowledge for a fair trial for his clien...ts, He's very personable and respectful. I would consider Derek Howell a friend and I could not be more satisfied with the outcome of my case. I would recommend him highly.

Compassionate and Skilled

Mr. Howell was an exceptional attorney who guided me through a challenging DUI process. His expertise in law was invaluable, and he patiently explained complex legal terms, making me feel informed and empowered. What truly set Mr. Howell apart was his unwavering support. He was always available to an...swer my questions and provided much-needed emotional support during difficult times. He spoke to me as a real person, not just a case file, and his reassurance was incredibly comforting. Thanks to his diligence and expertise, I achieved a very favorable outcome. I highly recommend Mr. Howell to anyone seeking a compassionate and skilled attorney.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND

I would highly recommend Mr. Howell! From start to finish, he guided me through the process of my case to make it as seamless as possible for me. His knowledge of both the law and system, was a key factor on me getting the best possible outcome. Mr. Howell put in the time and effort working with me, ... and made me feel comfortable and confident. Most importantly, the experience I had working with Mr. Howell opened me up to new positive life changes, and I will forever be grateful for that. Not only an extraordinary lawyer, but a great individual. If you need someone to represent you, Mr. Howell is the man for the job.

10/10

I have had several lawyers in my time, and Mr. Howell is by far the best and brightest I've had. He was incredibly invested in my wellbeing from the start, and worked diligently to get me the best outcome possible. There was no judgement from him and absolutely no hesitation to help me. He kept me in...formed the entire time, and always answered the phone when I needed him. I would recommend him to anyone.

One hell of a lawyer

Derek is an amazing lawyer I have used him for 4 of my cases because apparently I’m one who has to learn the hard way. But honestly he actually takes the time to get to know you and connect with you on a personal level. There isn’t anything negative to be said about him. He goes above and beyond wh...en it comes to his job there isn’t another lawyer out there like this guy he is one of a kind.
