Excellent Attorney with great staff.

Howard has represented my business for approximately 21 years. He has proven to be an effective and professional advocate in every case. He and our accountant have worked out some novel solutions to some of the complex situations facing my business. Additionally, Howard has a very strong supportin...g team behind him.

Five Star Rating for Attorney Howard Raab

Howard Raab is absolutely one the best Attorney's I have ever worked with. For starters he is knowledgeable, thorough, understanding, and compassionate! Everything that he said would happen, did and just the way that he had explained it. He and his staff are very efficient and prompt. I am beyond... satisfied with the work that Howard has done for me, as well as the advice that he gave to me afterwards. I would recommend him and his legal expertise to anyone. I am even going to hire him again for an Estate matter. I cannot wait to begin working on that process with him. I have hired many attorneys within my life and Howard Raab is truly one of the best!

Mr. Rabb was very kind and professional. He helped me through a very difficult time in my life. His assistant Lynne was also very helpful.

Satisfaction of handling my Bankruptcy

Howard and Lynne walked me through the entire process to where I was very comfortable and confident with the results. Couldn't have been any better of an experience.

Posted by Tim | March 11, 2013

Experienced support from start to finish

Howard and his assistant were very helpful and professional throughout the entire process. They made an experience that nobody wants to go through very painless. I had to file once before many years ago, and can honestly say that I wish I would have used Howard as my attorney at that time. I would j...ust like to say thank you to Howard and his staff for making this experience as easy as it could possibly be.

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.
