Mark is great!

Mark negotiated a great severance agreement for me. I couldn't have been happier with the outcome!

Employment Litigation

I went to Mark after reviewing his website and I'm glad I did. My case concerned my previous employer not paying me the commissions that were due me after I left their employment. After explaining everything to Mark he told me I had a case and that he was willing to take it. I instructed him that I d...id not want to have any direct communication with my previous employer and that he was to handle everything. From this point forward Mark acted in a pure professional manner. He sent me copies of all paperwork filed and kept me up to date by email. In the end we settled the case for the full amount due me plus Mark's fee. In conclusion, I can't say enough about how Mark handled the case. His knowledge and professionalism led to the final outcome. In fact I have since referred a friend to him for help.

Phenomenal! Mark is exactly who you need.

I have hired mark twice and I wouldn’t consider going with anyone else! He works with you to produce the best outcomes for your case. Tremendous amounts of experience, understanding, and skill were demonstrated in my defense both times. I had a jury trial despite the states continuous efforts to make... a deal and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. The presentation of the case, the cross examinations, and the defense against the prosecution were seamless. Mark truthfully articulated the facts as well as his arguments which successfully ended in me being found not guilty of all charges. You know who to call!

Highly Recommend

Mr. Howes aided us numerous times and was always professional, knowledgeable and courteous. His confidence and years of experience made the entire process much smoother than we ever thought possible. He was always accessible and we truly believe the outcome would not have been favorable without his v...ast experience in the Courtroom. He is well respected in Annapolis. Thank you!

Employment Payment Dispute

I would HIGHLY recommend Mark Howes for any of your legal needs. When Mark took on my case he was very informative on the steps we needed to take and the possible outcomes. With his experience in the field, I trusted Mark's judgement thru the entire process. I felt that he truly cared about my rig...hts and he fought for what was due to me. If I ever am in need of any legal representation - Mark would be my first call!
