BEST, ACCURATE ESTATE ADVICE

After paying a different attorney to set up a Living Trust, we discovered he was not knowledgeable and should not have been practicing Estate law. It caused our family much grief, stress, and problems. Someone gave us Stephen Howitz's number. He was extremely knowledgable about Living Trusts and help...ed us navigate around the problems caused by previous attorney. He also looked up several things for us when he wasn't recently-familiar with an issue. I highly recommend him as someone who will put the client's interests first.

Helped me, but dropped my case.

Stephen was great with my on-going legal battle with my ex husband, but ended up dropping the case at a crucial moment, stating that the topic was different (although he had done work on it) and that as I hadn't paid off the large bill for the last case, he couldn't do anymore. Very understanding re...garding payments. A little new to the law system, and it sometimes showed in his work.

WILL AND INHERITANCE

Excellent attorney, and I highly recommend. . I was not familiar how to handle an inheritance I received, and Stephen not only listened to me, but gave me advice and suggested what I should do. I listened to what Stephen had to say, and I took his advice, and it all worked out beautifully. If y...ou are looking for an attorney who will listen to his client, and give you his best advice, I would recommend Stephen J. Howitz.

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.
