Above and Beyond

Heather Howard went above and beyond what her job called for in my divorce case!! She had to do the work for both sides and she didn't have to. But she did it and it got done!! That is just the kind of person she is. There just isn't enough words to express how grateful I am for her.

Outstanding Lawyer

I was referred to Ms. Howard by the Virginia State BAR Association, after requesting a professional recommendation for an attorney that could represent me in a traumatic speeding/DUI case. Looking back, I see that they recommended the best of the best. Ms. Howard displayed remarkable integrity and ...focus throughout my case, guiding the legal system to our triumphant ending. She is a gifted lawyer with the ability to present the strongest, detailed arguments in court. My family and I are forever grateful that Ms. Howard fought for my rights and rightfully won. Very well done, Ms. Howard. No one in that courtroom in June 2015 will ever forget your hard work and honest victory.

Great attorney

I recently had need of an attorney to represent me in a personal injury case that were the result of injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident. Upon a recommendation from a friend, I contacted Ms. Howard's office and requested an appointment. Upon arrival, I was escorted to Ms. Howard's office w...ithout an undue wait, and was made comfortable and at ease. Ms. Howard listened intently to what I had to say, we discussed the merits of my case, as well as any fees (which were adhered to). After agreeing to represent me, she and her staff seemed to take a genuine interest in my case. They investigated the circumstances thoroughly, and were able to obtain a fair and reasonable settlement. Ms. Howard was both professional, and well versed in the law. She explained what not to expect, as well as what I should expect, something that I respect her for. I will certainly recommend her to my friends and associates in the future.

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.
