This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Any plaintiff would be lucky to have her/them on your side!

They knew all the details of my case that had over five people over a three year fight. They were willing to fight and invest in my case as if I were family. They didn't try and ask or force me to settle my case for an extremely unfair and unreasonable amount like most law firms around Atlanta seem t...o do. They are definitely not a mill law firm. I would (and have) recommend the Howard Law Firm to anyone needing assistance in a civil (criminal matter). I hope I don't ever need an attorneys again, unless it is for something wonderful. If I did need help again, I hope it's from them. They were a blessing and helped me when no other attorneys would regarding a difficult matter. I was able to pay off a 30 year mortgage in twelve years because of their help!

Caring and Attentive

I retained Sharon and her law firm for an auto accident case. Sharon was extremely thorough with all of the paperwork and files. She was sympathetic to my situation and really fought for me as an individual, not just a client. Thanks to her and her great team, they doubled what the insurance company ...initial settlement offer. You never really want to be part of a lawsuit, but if you do, then I whole-heartedly recommend Sharon and her team.

Excellent team work!

We personally recommend The Howard Law Firm to anyone looking for a great lawyer, one who shows high regard for their client’s best interest. My wife and myself had the pleasure of working with Attorneys Sharon Howard and Leif Howard and their wonderful support team. They have all been very instrum...ental in resolving our auto accident case to my satisfaction. They worked tirelessly to resolve the many twists and turns that my case involved. They are great to work with! We thank them very much for never resting until our case was resolved. If you have a car accident case and need advocacy, my wife and I highly recommend them. Thank you Howard Law Firm for all you do.

Fantastic Service

Amazing staff, everyone was friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Received prompt callbacks whenever I had questions they needed to research but most importantly you can tell they truly care about their clients!

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.
