This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

He FIGHTS! He WINS!

I had three previous attorneys who were cheaper per hour but they never fought for me. I hired Mr Howard and discovered he DOESN'T play games to run up billable hours. So in the end he was MUCH cheaper and I actually WON! He has an impeccable understanding of the Family Court system which gives h...im winning strategies!

Review

David was my attorney for 18 months through a difficult divorce. He helped me through such a difficult time with his expert advice and always made sure I was comfortable with my decisions.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
