T. Shawn Howard / Maginnis Howard --- Thanks!

I don’t know how I can be more satisfied or appreciative of Attorneys Shawn Howard and Karl Gwaltney from Maginnis Howard for the quality assistance they provided me when dealing with an injury from an unfortunate accident. Thank you for your time and exceptional professionalism. And to anyone readin...g this review that is unfortunately in need of legal assistance, I would highly recommend you contact Maginnis Howard for some sound advice.

Professional and Diligent

Shawn's efforts in a recent engagement were well above and beyond what I expected and his support did help in my situation being resolved. Shawn is very respectful of privacy and was of my personal decisions, challenging me however when he felt as though he knew what was in my best interests. Hirin...g an attorney is not easy, but Shawn was extremely helpful and I am happy I chose him and his firm.

Representaion due to car wreck, resulted in justice

Not due to my wife’s fault she was in a car wreck. From that wreck my wife had to have back surgery. The insurance company excepted responsibility, but due to her having past back issues they were not willing to except full responsibility for the back surgery or after medical expenses. I contacted... Maginnis law (Ed Maginnis) that resulted in a meeting with Shawn Howard to go over the details of the wreck, past back medical issues and medical issues resulted from the wreck. Even though the statute-of-limitation of three years was fast approaching Magninnis law was willing to represent my wife. With Shawn Howard and team’s detail investigation and superior court performance, I was awarded double the amount of money that the insurance company was offering. We both can't thank Shawn and team enough for the wonderful job he did.

Very helpful

Mr. Howard responded to my question posted on AVVO and responded to my request for a meeting to discuss and clarify possible next steps. He met with us, talked us through and gave us clear direction on how to proceed. He did not try and talk us into a decision but rather laid out our options. Very... professional and very helpful. Will certainly keep in mind for future issues and will not hesitate to recommend.

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.
