SUPERB!

Lora Howard and her team are fantastic! They have helped me with two estates in the last few years and I was totally pleased with the service they provided. They break a complicated problem down into bite size pieces for good understanding and their fees are very reasonable. I hope I don't need an ...estate lawyer again soon, but when I do, I will call Lora! I highly recommend them.

Probate

Lora was professional, friendly, and empathetic regarding my father’s estate needs. She took time to meet with me and answer all questions. Paperwork for Clerk of Courts was completed and turned in on time.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
