Ken is not like the TV lawyers

After my car accident I went to one of the TV lawyers. I had trouble getting answers to my questions. I never really got to talk to my lawyer and they really didn't seem interested in helping me. It seemed like they were too busy and my case didn't seem to matter to them, like I was just one of the...ir many files. I finally got frustrated enough that I wanted to get a new lawyer. A friend told me I should call Ken Howell, the lawyer who had helped him. so I did. Things were different with Ken. He seemed to really care about his clients, he explains everything and he really wants to help his clients. There was a big difference in the service he provided . Ken is not like the TV lawyers.

Two reasons I came back to Ken Howell

Unfortunately, I have had two car accidents in the past several years and neither one was my fault. Ken Howell was my lawyer for both accidents. Two reasons I came back to Ken Howell again for the second accident were because Ken really cares about helping you and Ken works really hard on your case.... He is not like what you might expect a lawyer to be, he is actually very easy to talk to and very down to earth. I have recommended Ken several times to people who have had car accidents.

Ken worked really hard to get me a larger settlement

Ken Howell is very professional, and he spent a lot of time sitting down with me at the beginning of my case and as we went through the case he explained everything. He really cares about his clients and he really fights for them. In fact, in my case it wasn't easy, but Ken ended up getting me fou...r times what the insurance company had wanted to pay! I have referred several of my coworkers at work to Ken and they also really liked him. Iran

I WENT BACK TO KEN AGAIN

My young daughter was in a bad car accident with very serious injuries involving surgery. Ken got her a very large settlement that was set up in a structure that will take care of her future. Years after her case was settled I was in a car accident . I immediately went back to Ken again for... help because in the first case I really appreciated how Ken explains even the most complicated legal things in a way you can understand. He is honest and trustworthy and makes you very comfortable. He is always accessible, returns phone calls promptly and takes care of all the problems and things you might worry about. He is really an awesome attorney. -- Lisa

Ken is an attorney you can really trust

I had never been in an accident before and I knew I needed some help. A woman from my church had used Ken Howell as her attorney when she had an accident and she highly recommended him. I hired Ken and found him to be a very good attorney and a very honest attorney. He really looked out for me and... took care of all the problems I had. Ken is an attorney you can really trust. He looks out for you. ---- Angelina B.
