He answered a tax question

Mr. Howell is a very nice and patient man. I had some difficulty asking the question in a way he could understand the info I sought but he hung in with me and gave me a very comprehensive and easily understood answer. I would highly recommend him.

Review for Brad Howell

I had the privilege of hiring Mr. Brad Howell to provide counsel for delinquent taxes. He is very professional and knowledgeable in this area. He did a great job at relieving my stress and anxiety as far as communication with the IRS. He was able to secure an installment agreement on my behalf to sa...tisfy the obligation. I would strongly recommend Mr. Howell and his firm for legal advice especially concerning taxes.

Attorney Brad Howell, one of the in best the business.

Attorney Howell has been assisting me with federal and state tax issues for approximately four years. His approach to my tax issues has been first, a thorough gathering of the facts followed by precise application of federal or state statures. Attorney Howell responds quickly to phones calls and keep...s me informed and up to date on my tax issues.

Easy to understand and work with

Mr. Howell was very professional, reassuring and confident in his handling of my affairs. He kept me informed, answered questions and always conducted himself in a friendly and approachable manner. He took his time to explain every step and to make sure I was always up to speed.

Positive first experience

Overall a good experience. Brad knows his stuff, and his rates seem fairly reasonable. The process took longer than I liked, but I understand that unfortunately, anything with the government tends to take a lot of time. I really appreciated the in-depth email responses. It made me feel like he i...s truly dedicated to my needs as a client.

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.
