Awesome Atty

I hired Molly Howard after being referred by my sister and my daughter. She handled my separation agreement and Alimony settlement. She advised me on what I need to get together and asked me questions I didn’t even think about. She was able to accomplish more than I ever dreamed of. Her assistants ar...e wonderful. I could call or email at anytime and always got thru to someone and questions answered. She also is very efficient and I never over charged and I would recommend her so highly.

50b and custody

Molly was great, she gave me the realistic view and was straight up with me on the situation. It wasn't what I wanted but again under the circumstances I really didn't have a choice. The 50b was dropped and even though I lost custody over false alegations she probably saved me money in the long run....

Horrible results

I hire Molly to negotiate an unfair separation agreement from my ex. She did absolutely nothing to benefit my case. Due to her "math" I ended up paying more a month than the separation agreement asked for. The only answer she could give was "It's the law". My child now lives in an unsuitable environm...ent and I'm paying a highly unreasonable amount in child support due to her incompetence. I have recently consulted another lawyer to re-evaluate the agreement who has told me that she was clearly looking out for my ex, and not my best interest at all. He said I should be paying less than half of what I'm currently paying. Plus she ended up charging me more than double what she originally quoted. I was a fool for believing that she was doing what was best for me. I would only recommend this lawyer to a female who has been unfaithful. She'll definitely take care of you.

Absolutely a positive experience

Molly was and is an excellent lawyer! She walked me through every step of our case with a kind and caring attitude. Took the time to make me feel worthy when I was at my lowest and lifted me up when I was down. I could say anything to her and she listened without judgment and believed in me For me, ...she was fabulous and I know she will be the same for every person who seeks her out. I will refer any all to her as she won't let you down! She fought for me and will do the same for anyone! Although my case is finished, I know I can stop by or drop an email to just say hello, how are you, and she will respond in kind. I hope no one has to go through an ugly time in their life but if you should, make sure to contact Molly Howard as she is not just a great and wonderful person, she is an awesome, fight for you lawyer!! I cannot give enough praise or say thank you in a way to express my appreciation to her!

poorly prepared and lied to me twice and helped my ex wife more than me!

I hired Molly in 2010 because of my wife's infidelity. I planned on charging my ex wife with alienation of affection. Molly assured me I had a strong case even when I told her other lawyers said I could not use a voice recording. She assured me I had good evidence an a strong case. So, I hired he...r. Right before we were to negotiate the separation agreement she told me my evidence was to weak and I needed photos. I proceeded with the negotiations, which was a huge mistake! Molly seemed to be looking out more for my ex-wife's interest than mine. In hind sight I should have gotten up and walked out. During the negotiations she got a call from her boy friend and was more interested in wrapping up the negotiations so she could go out on a date with him. Very unprofessional! On top of that she had to cut one of our meetings short because she had to take her daughter to a dance lesson. She was extremely poorly prepared for the negotiations. I wondered if she even read any of my evidence. She was supposed to have our house appraised but was to lazy and relied on the ex's lawyers appraisal which was completely low balled. I didn't see the value until after we started negotiations. I complained that it was about $30k to low. She insisted it was fair and accurate and kept giving me excuses why I should accept it. It was bad enough I had to go through the humiliation of my wife cheating on me, but now I had to not only battle my ex-wife's lawyers, but I also had to battle my own lawyer. after we signed the agreement I felt like I had been cheated and violated. Molly handed me my file like she couldn't wait to get rid of me. As I left Molly's office my ex was laughing and joking with her lawyers and Molly. During the course of my separation Molly flat out lied to me twice covering for my ex when she failed to comply to the separation agreement. I finally fired Molly and hired a different lawyer, but the damage from the separation agreement was already done. I would not recommend Molly, especially if you are a man!
