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.

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 WAS MY LAWYER TWICE

I had a car accident several years ago and I hired Ken Howell as my lawyer. A few years after that I was injured when I slipped on water on the floor in a local food store. I once again called Ken Howell to represent me. I went back to Ken again because he was always very good about returning my ...phone calls, and explaining what was going on with my case. He always acted like he was happy to answer all my questions and explain everything. He also worked very hard to get me the most money for my injuries. In fact, in my fall at the food store he ended up getting me more than twice what they had wanted to pay. So, Ken was my lawyer twice and he did a great job both times.

Good lawyer who takes time with his clients

Ken Howell was my attorney for my car accident case. I didn't know him but a friend of mine had recommened him after he used him for his car accident. Ken spent a lot of time when he first met with me explaining what to expect in my case and he was very good about answering all my questions every t...ime I called him. He fought very hard to get me a good settlement and I was very happy with his service.
