Highly recommended

Mr. Howes is an excellent lawyer. I put my life in his hands (literally), and it was the best decision I ever made. His analytical, research, writing, and speaking skills are second to none. If I ever again find myself in a legal peril, I would not hesitate to hire Mr. Howes. Whenever family member o...r friend needs legal representation, Mr. Howes is my number one choice.

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.
