Review Howard Iken

Honest Opinion

Posted by anonymousSun Apr 08 2018

I visited Mr Iken to talk about my situation. I was surprised when he said I do not need an attorney right now. He gave me helpful alternatives and really good advice. It was refreshing to talk with someone more concerned about helping me then taking my money. When it is time I do plan on coming back and hiring him.

He will personally speak with you and never makes you or your questions feel unimportant. I had a very long hard case and he never gave up on me or my kids. Everyone in the office was always always courteous . Thank you for being there for me!
