I've been practicing attorney in the Tampa Bay area since 1988. In my early years, the focus of my practice was on complex commercial litigation, including significant, national litigation involving prescription drugs and medical devices, products liability, construction litigation and real estate litigation. In such matters, I represented corporations such as Bristol-Myers Squibb (breast implant litigation), Siam Sempermed Corporation (latex glove litigation), Zurich U.S. (exterior insulation and finishing systems litigation), Kaiser Aluminum & Chemical Corporation (fire retardant treated plywood litigation), Wyeth Pharmaceuticals (diet drug litigation), Sulzer Orthopedics (hip implant litigation), Hennessy Industries, Inc. (tire/rim mismatch litigation), Ford Motor Company (Explorer rollover litigation), Ariba, Inc. (software litigation) and WCI Communities, Inc. (real estate litigation).
Since 1994, I have been involved in family law litigation. I believe that my extensive litigation backgound in complex litigation and my experience since 1994 in family law give me the necessary skills and experience to handle any type of family law case that should arise. Since 1994, I've represented hundreds of Tampa area families in divorces, paternity actions and family law cases of all types. My approach to such cases is to confirm the client's goals, to advise the client on his or her legal rights and options, and then to proceed as quickly and efficiently as possible to achieve those goals.
I provide high quality legal services at a reasonable price.

Review for Mark- Donnie Fortner
Mark was recommended to me by a good friend of mine. I went to his office late in the evenings for consultations. This was very convenient as I work during the day. Anytime I had a question for him I could call or email and could expect a response in a timely manner. He was very up to date and knowle...

Intergrity Professional Legal Literary Genius
Mark came into my divorce case post judgment to reopen my case for myself and two children who were caught by surprise. My case has gone on for more than three years. His intelligence and work ethics are off the charts. He has taken his time to sit with me and explain legal terminology and always ava...

Incredibly grateful client.
When I sought a divorce attorney I was given Mr. Howard's name. His assistant immediately set me up with an appointment hearing the desperation in my voice. My appointment was very comfortable considering I had just been left by my husband of over 30 years. Mark stated the facts to me as to what t...

Mark Howard is a Great Choice for Family Law Attorney!
Mark came very highly recommended to me by a friend closely related to the legal field. I also interviewed several attorneys before choosing him. Because he was so highly recommended, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to afford his services, but Mark allowed me to do as much "leg work" as I w...

Mark Howard Review
Mark was very helpful in navigating us through family law. Responded well with the baggage involved with the case. Responded quickly and effectively in an emergency. Was able to mediate between the two parties to an outcome that was liveable and gave great advice for future concerns.
