Knowledgeable, Thorough, and Fast - He Gets the Job Done!

Our firm has used Mr. Howell's services multiple times to help with our collections work, both for our own business and on behalf of our clients who have obtained judgments. He has done an outstanding job, collecting nearly every claim given. Mr. Howell takes time to discuss each matter, giving ide...as of how to best collect debts in an timely, yet cost effective way. He follows up regularly to advise of the status and is always available to answer questions. He is an experienced negotiator and skilled professional who knows how to get the job done. We would recommend him without question.

Jeff is a Beast and I mean this in the most respectful way. Jeff only goal is to deliver the best results to you and your family and or Business. Jeff and staff deliver excellent service and is shows in his preparation, to give you the best representation. We all talk or make jokes about lawyers but ...when its game on, its no joking matter. I give Jeff my highest recommendation as a Human Being and a exceptional Lawyer. Lastly for a young man he has more Court experience than most of his seniors do and that is a HUGE advantage when you are in need of representation. Thanks again Jeff Howell and team your the Man!!!!

Excellent representation for our small business!

Jeff Howell Jr. was recommended to me by a colleague to represent me in a landlord/tenant dispute, specifically an unlawful detainer case followed by debt collection as a result of the judgement. Jeff effectively represented my interests as a landlord, and we have started to recover the damages award...ed by the court. Some months later, my business encountered a contract dispute with one of our vendors. I didn't think twice about hiring Jeff to represent Abrams Realty in court. Jeff was very thorough in preparing us for our day in court. Together we went over the testimony and exhibits (documents) that would be given as evidence to support our case and discussed the various possible outcomes. I cannot stress this enough, I've had much more serious court dates, where the fate and custody of my children lay in the balance, and my family law attorney did not put in this much effort to prepare me for court. It's great when business owners can resolve contract issues outside of the legal process, but when those efforts fail, I won't hesitate to hire Jeff Howell Jr. to step up to the plate for me. Jeff is very much at home inside of courtroom, and the favorable outcome for my company is due, in no small part, to his efforts and skill set.
