Mr. Integrity - where professionalism and power come first...

Mr. Howard did an excellent job in my case. So good, that we did not have to go to court or mediation. I would not be able to express how respectful I feel about this attorney. He has an amazing patience and tact which makes it easy to imagine why people go to him for comfort and advice while the...y dealing with a sensitive and emotional situation. Mr. Howard was so nice when he answered my questions over the phone, his communication was very supportive. I was happy with the attention he showed me even though his schedule was probably super busy. I really appreciate this. I strongly advise anyone to go to him because you will find a professional with a good attitude. Your money will be used for somebody who cares and explains everything you need to know.

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.

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.
