This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Custody & Visitation

Heather is top notch. I would very much recommend her for issues involving family law. She is very genuine and does care about each case. She is professional and personable. She wants to do a good job and does do a good job. She is quick to respond and takes the time to explain when you have question...s. She is always prepared and efficient. Just a great all around person and she has done a great job for us.

Child Support Case

Heather is a great attorney. She is personable, cares about her clients, knowledgeable, and precise. I was in the process of increasing child support when I met Heather. She was very confident and professional when working with me on my case. I remember being so nervous when we went into the cour...troom and she told me everything was going to be fine and not to worry. She made me feel at ease. I highly recommend Heather to anyone in need of an attorney.

Outstanding attorney

Heather Howell has assisted our family in several ways, most recently in drafting a power of attorney and assisting with legal issues after my father's death. Heather is professional and knowledgeable. I would recommend her without hesitation. I appreciated the fact that she was accessible, confident... and detailed. She has our strongest recommendation!

Good Lawyer

Heather did work for me when I was credit manager at Ready Mix Concrete. Heather was very helpful in collecting my bad accounts. She was always on top of my accounts and would give me a call to let me know what was going on. She did a good job.
