Very grateful to Christine

I found the Law Office of Christine Howard to be excellent from beginning to end. Christine herself is extremely competent in her field of expertise (family Law) and her assistants Lisa Harris and Connie Woods were very pleasant, understanding and eager to offer any help if needed. They made the d...ivorce process much more relaxed in which I am very grateful for! Christine intently listens to what you have to say and what you are trying to achieve. I find that so important. She is a real professional offering valuable guidance and advice while showing empathy which is very appreciated! Thank you Christine and staff!

Great Family Law Attorney!

I cannot say enough good things about Christine Howard and her staff, Connie Woods and Lisa Harris. Prior to selecting an attorney to represent me in my divorce, I interviewed several attorneys in the Greenville area. None of them impressed me with how they wanted to handle my case....all were cold a...nd calloused....the bottom-line for them was money, i.e. their fee. That was NOT what I was looking for or wanted. The moment that I walked into Christine's office I knew that I had found the right attorney for me simply by the way I was greeted by Christine's staff. When I actually met Christine, I was impressed with her candid remarks and warm, engaging manner. I knew by Christine's comments that she had great character and integrity and that we were both on the same page with how we needed/wanted to move forward with my divorce. As time passed, I found Christine to be a great advocate for me, as well as an empathetic supporter. I felt like I was working with a friend who was actually helping me through a difficult time in my life, not just being my attorney. ...it wasn't about how much Christine could charge me (at no time did I feel like I was being over-charged and I found her fees to be very reasonable), I felt like she really wanted to help me. At the outset, I told Christine that I wanted a fair and equitable dissolution of my marriage and that I was not out to get as much as I could from my wife. I believe that Christine understood my position and rationale, and she accomplished that goal. Throughout the process, I found Christine to be a highly ethical attorney and one that understood what a fair agreement for both parties meant and she steered me in that direction, i.e. a balanced resolution for both me and my wife. In addition, Connie Woods, Christine's paralegal, and Lisa Harris, Christine's, Administrative Assistant, were very helpful as I navigated the legal process and they kept me well informed as to what was going on in a timely manner. In addition, they were very supportive from an emotional perspective....support that I sorely needed. Therefore, it is with great enthusiasm and pleasure that I highly recommend Christine and her staff to anyone who is in need of a great divorce or family law attorney with a wonderful support team to assist her and her clients.

Christine did an amazing job!

Christine and her staff are great! I had a very messy and drawn out divorce and she was amazing! They kept me well informed and were easy to communicate with. They handled things very professionally and I highly recommend them.
