Posted by Bryant | July 19, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

I wish I had him now

He was the best attorney I've had. My ex tried to intentionally kidnap my daughter. But with him arguing down a judge who just wouldn't care, we prevented this from happening 10min before the flight took off. Honestly you have no clue how much I need hus help now.

Posted by Jerome | September 24, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Child Support

Child Support

My name is Jerome Easter, I hired Thomas in February 2016 to handle two child support cases. That was a mistake! Child Support 1. He allows me to be blackmail into an agreement that heavy favorite the mom. $12,000 back pay, some type of. Visitation, she carries insurance. Thomas failed to ask m...e for any documents about the child support case and only met with me once(collect money). He does answer emails. Case 2 He failed to realize the AG made a mistake. What mistakes? Missouri is child home state, Missouri is share income state. He didn't know that Ag went on Texas laws. Which cost me $$$$$. Furthermore; I received no rights to the child. I wish Thomas would have fought for me. Sorry for grammar. Not an English teacher. Avvo I'll give proof that I hired Thomas

Phenomenal Attorney!

There are not enough words in the English language to speak highly enough about Thomas Howery. My husband was unfairly and maliciously targeted in a ridiculous lawsuit, and Mr. Howery was our saving grace! After two horrible experiences with other attorneys (who not only did nothing to help us, th...ey actually made our situation worse), Mr. Howery stepped up and brought the truth to light. He is highly intelligent/ knowledgeable, confident, patient, and really listens and understands his clients' needs. He is fair and honest and throws the stereotype of lawyers right out of the window. We were most impressed with his presence in the courtroom. His preparation and strategy were clear as he commanded the courtroom. He knew exactly what questions to ask, key points to touch on, and arguments to present in order to hit a home run. And he did! Not only did we win our case, but Mr. Howery made sure the judge was aware of the lies that were told against my husband and the unfair position he was put in. Mr. Howery won us our attorney fees to be paid for by opposing party and the judge also ordered "punishment" against them. We were so lucky to have found Mr. Howery, he is truly an excellent attorney. We are forever grateful for his hard work, dedication, and determination towards our very difficult and complicated case. My husband and I highly, highly recommend Mr. Howery!

Posted by Scott | July 12, 2012 | Debt Settlement

Effective and reasonably priced.

Mr. Howery saved me thousands by settling my credit card debt. He helped me repair my credit so now I can actually buy a house. He gave me valuable advice and I am confident he always had my best interests at heart. He seemed to care more about helping me than earning fees... very refreshing. I am fo...rever grateful for the work he did for me and I highly recommend him to my friends.
