Oustanding result

Jeff performed his representation of me in a highly professional manner. He was always responsive to all parities involved and went out of his way to get me a good result in as short a time as possible. He always took the time to explain all the options with solid recommendations to proceed. He was ...extremely thorough in his research and often would obtain opinions of other experts just to explore any and all possible solutions. I will absolutely utilize his service should the need arise in the future.

If you’re in construction you need this guy.

I started off with another attorney who thought I should just pay what the other party was ordering me to pay. Then I got a referral from a good friend of mine, so I called Jeff Howell. Jeff rolled his sleeves and jumped right in. Less than a week later he had negotiated a settlement agreement for l...ess than half of what the other party wanted. As soon as that was settled I signed him up as my registered agent and look forward to using him for all of my legal needs. If you’re looking for a young and aggressive legal team to represent your business, I highly recommend these guys.

Highly recommend Jeff

I retained Jeff last year (2019). I have had the opportunity to work with many attorneys in my life for many reasons Never I once have I felt that an office would put in a drop of thought to my case without overcharging. Jeff and his office (Kelli!) are different than other legal offices—they work ti...relessly and really care about their clients. I feel 100% confident in stating that this office is not just in it for the money and they genuinely want to provide quality representation. When the defending party in my case became threatening, Jeff did not hesitate to firmly put them in their place. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire Jeff again. If you are looking for great representation from an attorney that is also a trustworthy and good individual, look no further—Jeff is your guy! There really aren’t enough words to express how much I recommend this firm.

New Sheriff in town.

When my restaurant and my name was being sued and smeared without reason, Mr. Howell jumped into action to right all that was being wronged. I never felt like it was about money, he was as equally disgusted about the situation as I was. We went to court against a well known, highly regarded law firm ...and Jeff went in the court room in Sparta mode (no really). He will not be bullied, he will not be forced into a corner, and most importantly, he will not be out worked. He is a professional with a desire to win for his client. If you have a business issue, please do yourself a favor....call Jeff Howell.
