I had a workmans comp claim and he handeled it great. They were screwing with my money and pay. he wasn`t afraid to go to court , took a while to get to court but when it did he won. The wheels of justice move slow I know that , but he did a great job for me...

Mr. Ankin is a superb advocate for his clients. He is able to handle all manner of complex issues with insight and experience. I would recommend Howard to friends and family in need of the highest level of legal assistance.

Ann Thayer, Workers compensation Attorney on Feb 8, 2011
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Howard's clients respect and value his expertise and hard work that he puts forth in preparing their cases. He works hard to obtain successful verdicts for his clients. If the legal issue you consult Howard about is outside his area of expertise then he is able to be honest and point you in the direction of someone who is knowledgable in that area of law. When clients stick with an attorney through long periods of civil litigation and go back for more advice or refer clients to that attorney, that is a true sign of respect and shows you cannot go wrong with Howard on your side.

Seth Price, Personal injury Attorney on Nov 18, 2010
