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.

Mark does an excellent job explaining what to anticipate upon entering the negotiation process and family law court system - provacative claims by opposing counsel, baseless assertions on the ex-spouse's financial affidavit - to keep us focused on a successful settlement. He effectively explained "p...ro and cons" of alimony options - lump sum, monthly, rehabilitative - with a practical approach to conflict resolution and ultimately, divorce. His experience and established network, particularly in Hillsborough County, affords him broad access to resources that accelerated my settlement. While his client, Mark was an efficient time manager, and respectful/cognizant of costs of services associated with all aspects of marital dissolution.

Atty. Mark S. Howard represented me in both Child Support and Alimony cases. I was referred to him by his former client, who is a friend of mine. Atty. Howard is an excellent lawyer. He is very knowledgeable, efficient, and reasonable. I have used a different lawyer in the past; but Atty. Mark Ho...ward obtained excellent results from both of my cases. Without hesitation, I would highly recommend him to others who need an excellent Family Law attorney.
