Great and Honest Lawyer

I hired Howard and Travis as my personal injury attorneys , my case was very complicated but I was always given assurance that however complex my case is, things will work out. Indeed the things worked out and I got a news that I have been offered a settlement. Without honesty, diligence and constant... communication by Howard and Travis, things would not have been easy. Easily the best Personal Injury Lawyer in the area. Thank you Howard and Travis.

You Need Howard on Your Side!

Howard is most likely the most honest and straightforward attorney with whom I have ever had the privilege to interact. I never thought I would ever hire an attorney for anything. Honestly (as silly as it sounds) I assumed they were all over aggressive individual who only focused on the money they co...uld get from insurance companies (an impression easily fed by all the injury attorney ads seen on television.) Howard was straightforward and calm, making me feel completely at ease and made me feel as if I was the priority and not the money that could be won. Hamilton Law Firm completely changed my opinion of Personal Injury Attorney. If you're looking for an honest attorney, who is willing to treat you as a person and not a dollar sign, Hamilton Law Firm is the firm for you.

Best, most honest and competent lawyer

Howard Hamilton took my case when three other Lawyers dumped me. Howard and Travis Hamilton are honest, competent, diligent workers and won my case! Can't say enough about my positive experience with this firm.

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.
