Excellent Experience

Christine had me set out goals for what I wanted the results of my divorce to be. Not only did we meet these goals, we exceeded them. My ex wife was seeking child support even though we had agreed on equal custody and equal cost sharing. Christine explained that no one "wins" or "loses" a divorce an...d that everything would be 50/50 anyway. My ex wife continued to pursue illogical goals and Christine encouraged us several times to come to an agreement together to save us money which impressed me because rather than encouraging me to pay her, she said we could save money by communicating ourselves. When we were unable to do so, Christine stepped up and allowed me to get a fair settlement that would pay for all my lawyer fees and have fair and joint custody. It all turned out better than I could have Imagined and it was because of her skill and diligence.

Prompt, Professional Service at a Fair Price!

Christine Howard provided exactly what I needed at a very fair price and was prompt and professional throughout the process. My ex-wife and I had come to an agreement on everything and had it put into a permanent separation order. All I needed was someone to represent me for the final divorce, bu...t every attorney I spoke with wanted to charge fees that were much more in line with someone who was not nearly as settled. Christine listened to my concerns, reviewed my order, and was the only one to have a fee that was reasonable for my relatively simple needs. Despite the simplicity of my case, Christine was always quick to respond with thorough, thoughtful advice. Connie and Lisa were just as professional both on the phone and in person. When the judge had to be hospitalized a few days before the hearing, they called me immediately and were able to take advantage of the last available hearing with another judge that day. Had they not acted immediately, my hearing would have been delayed for several weeks! On the day of the hearing, Christine was on time, had everything prepared, and told me exactly what to expect. The hearing could not have gone more smoothly. I highly recommend Christine M. Howard for her professionalism, attentiveness, and reasonable fee.

Wonderful advisor through a though time

When selecting a divorce attorney I read a lot of online reviews. I selected Christine based on her stellar reviews online. I was very impressed with Christine and her staff from the first meeting. Christine gave me solid advice throughout the process (even when it was not what I wanted to hear). She... was diligent in her guidance throughout the process and lead me down the right path from day one. She did not sugar coat anything for me which I appreciated. My personal pet peeve is not being able to communicate in a timely fashion which seems to be pretty normal for some attorneys around the area. I have to say the communication was great! I always got a call or email back in a timely manner. The staff there is very friendly and always willing to help if they can. I cannot say enough good things about Christine Howard and her staff (Lisa Harris & Connie Woods).

Christine

I would definitely recommend Christine and her team for any of your family law needs. I have not only used Christine once, but twice. Christine fought for me and my child every step of the way each time, and she always gave me her honest opinion and shot me straight. No one wants to be going through ...tough legal situations involving their child, but Christine made it as easy of a process as possible. I appreciated everything she, Connie, and Lisa did for both of my cases.

Christine and her friendly and very capable staff walked me gently through this difficult process. Christine exudes a nice blend of professional savvy and thoughtfulness and I always felt in good hands with her.
