This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Poor execution and pushy in the wrong way.

This guy is pushy and doesn't accept realistic timelines for factual cases. He is over zealous and rude to county officials, which ultimately made the people doing the actual work take longer. Two thumbs down for this guy. As a Jewish man id say find a different as we aren't all like that! Don't let ...him leave a bad taste in your mouth.

Why can’t all lawyers be like this?

Over the past 20 years, our family has hired Mr. Shalowitz for numerous cases including personal injury, divorce, writing our wills, traffic tickets, and more. He always took our calls right away or returned our calls by the end of the business day. We have always been satisfied with the outcome of o...ur cases. When other lawyers wanted to charge us out the Wazoo so they could line their pockets, Mr. Shalowitz tried to settle the case from the get-go knowing how these cases usually turn out. Only an experienced, ethical, and loyal attorney would do this. It seems that nowadays lawyers just want to continue the litigation so they can make more money. Fortunately, Mr. Shalowitz is not one of those Lawyers. Why can’t all lawyers be like him?

Impressive!

I consulted with Howard on a cold snow day in early February 2022. i was in duress and he took my call when all offices were shut down and gave me a good bit of his time free of charge. He was honest, thoughtful, knowledgeable and very professional and in that one phone call, I was instantly comfor...ted and felt better. I thank him greatly for this and will most certainly hire him in the future should I ever need his help again.

Top-Notch Lawyer!!!

Mr. Shalowitz is the epitome of what a lawyer should be: competent, smart, prepared, a good listener, patient, and successful in our outcome. I am so glad I was referred to him by another lawyer-friend of ours.

Outstanding!!!

My family and I have used Mr. Shalowitz as our lawyer in all of our family matters -- dissolution of marriage, wills/trusts, personal injury, and traffic tickets. I don't know how he does it, but he is AMAZING!!! The results were better than we hoped in each case, he kept us informed, and he even lo...wered his fee in almost every case to make life easier on us! He is as honest as the day is long and I would trust his sound legal advice on any matter!

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.
