Mark Stephen Howard

I had Mark as my attorney for years during a long divorce, appeal and Alimony revision case and paid him a LOT of money only to have him ignore my emails, not correct a mistake HIS STAFF made on my Alimony timing with the state and the final straw was he set up a call after 6 months of no replies to ...16 emails and NEVER made it and wouldn’t tell me why. Beyond disappointed in him and if this is how he treats a long term client I guess it shows you who he is. And let me tell you about my appeal of the Alimony timing and amount. TWO DAYS before the oral argument with the 2nd DCA I get a call NOT FROM MARK but, his assistant that Mark can’t make the hearing but, will send his wife also an attorney to it as he had another case to take care of. Well guess what, I got NOTHING from the appeal but, large attorney bills. Again, IMO DO NOT hire MARK HOWARD.

I wish there were 10 stars or 100 to rate Mark Howard.I called Mark on very short notice. Less than a week before my court date,in which the case has been on going for almost three years with a different lawyer I hired. My previous lawyer practically left me hanging and Mark picked up all the pieces.... I kid you not this man educated himself on my child support modification case within hours! I hired him on Friday,my case was 4 days after, which means he even worked the weekend to get caught up on my case. He was constantly communicating with me,as well as his assistant. They kept me informed at all times. He did for me in a matter of hours what my previous lawyer couldn't do in years. I was at ease, fully trusted Mark to the point that I could have let him make decisions for me because the interest of me and my kids were his top priority. He showed me outlines of everything he did, he called me and reached out to explain every possibility in my case and any outcome that may or may not happen. His assistant Joni was also very professional and always kept contact to inform me of any thing regarding my case. I cannot express the amount of gratitude that I have for this lawyer and the staff. He is very straight forward, got me back on track if my emotions started taking over. He is very direct, he explains your payments,what the invoice describes,what his next steps are. You will never feel left out in your case, you will always be reassured and confident that he will do his very best and have your interest at heart . My case was a child support modification like I stated ,but I'm more than positive that any case he handles will be handled with precision,professionalism and integrity. I am beyond satisfied with the outcome of my case. This man takes his job seriously and any case given to him his just as important as the next. YOU WILL NOT REGRET HIRING HIM. I wish I would have done so sooner.if there was an option to leave a video review I would have done so,only so anyone contemplating on hiring a lawyer could see the sincerity I have when speaking of him and the satisfaction I feel when I explain how wonderful him and his staff are. You can't go wrong with him. Thank you Mark for giving me faith in lawyers after I lost all hope.

Mr. Howard was recommended to me by a family friend who knew of his work. In the last two years, Mark Howard has helped me twice. I can honestly say he is an all-in lawyer who truly cares about his client and their story. He asks probing questions but intently listens to the answers because you wil...l hear him repeat it weeks down the road. He is an experienced, knowledgeable lawyer with helpful, caring staff to back him up. He is an outstanding professional who produces results and solves issues quickly and efficiently. One of the many things that I respect him for is his honesty and the fact that he sets clear expectations. His priority is getting the client the best deal, which he did for me. I will always recommend him.

Mr. Howard was my attorney for my recent divorce. I had originally been Pro Se for most of the procedural filings. However, my divorce was going to trial and I knew I need an attorney now. I retained Mr. Howard on very short notice with only 10 days to prepare. I explained the details of the proc...eedings thus far to Mr. Howard and gave him all the filings. Mr Howard was very up front from the start. He explained that he could help me but could not promise anything. I was very impressed on how organized and thorough he was in representing me. In court, Mr. Howard was extremely knowledgeable of family law and proved his worth by being overly prepared, which resulted in a very favorable outcome for me. I avoided having to pay out an unfair amount of money thanks to Mr. Howard's skill and focus in the courtroom.
