Amazing

Howard was professional, and kind. He took care of my case in a timely manner and it had a fantastic outcome. He is kind , knowledgeable and understanding. He made me feel like family. I couldn't have asked for a better representation in my case. To see him doing his job was truly a work of art. He i...s someone you can trust , and makes you feel like you matter, you do not feel like just another case to him. You can tell that he cares, not only on a professional level but on a personal level.

Over and Beyond: An Attorney who was there for me

Mr. Butler is amazing.. his staff kept me informed.. as did he personally.. whenever I had a question he was right on it with an answer.. and fought for me from the day we met.. My experience with him is great.. and I would personally recommend him to anyone else for anything... He and his family a...re people I would love to deal with again should I ever have a chance.. He looked out for me and my best interest's.. I never had to worry or wonder about what was going on or the progress of my case.. He even recommended other lawyers from other fields to me for other purposes...And the best part was him calling me himself instead of having his staff do it.. although sometimes if he were on a case .. trial.. he would ask them to call me to update me.. but that was appreciated as well... So if you want the best lawyer in Jacksonville or the surrounding area's please call him.. you will not EVER regret it... He is also personable and tough.. he was ready to go to court if we had needed too.. he is not one to sign you up and settle your case in a few months.. he fights for you..he looks in to the legalities of other things that may actually apply to your individual case in other fields as well....So as a rating for him and his staff on a scale from 0-10.. He would rate a 20..Thank you Mr. Howard Butler for your help and kindness to me over these last few years.. Merry Christmas.. and God Bless You..

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.
