Michael Trevor Howard

We had the privilege of working with Michael T. Howard on a very challenging case involving our home purchase, and we cannot recommend him highly enough. In March 2021, we bought a home that unfortunately turned out to have a major structural defect deliberately concealed by the sellers. The probl...em centered on the front porch, where concrete had been poured over a wooden deck, causing severe structural instability that threatened the integrity of our entire house. Within months, cracks appeared in our walls, and we later uncovered overwhelming evidence that the sellers knew about the issue and had gone to great lengths to cover it up. From the very beginning, Michael was thorough, professional, and compassionate. He listened carefully to our concerns, reviewed all of the evidence we gathered—including testimony from a neighbor and a contractor who confirmed the sellers’ knowledge of the defect—and guided us through the legal process with clarity and confidence. He made sure we understood the strengths of our case, the risks of litigation, and the best strategy moving forward. Thanks to Michael’s expertise and persistence, we were able to secure a settlement of $65,000. While it did not cover the full $120,000 cost of repairs, Michael’s counsel to accept the settlement allowed us to proceed quickly with urgently needed repairs rather than face years of uncertain litigation. His practical advice, combined with his strong advocacy, made a very stressful situation much more manageable. Beyond his legal skill, Michael was consistently supportive, responsive, and honest. He never sugar-coated the realities of our case, but he always fought hard to protect our interests. Because of his efforts, we were able to repair our home and move forward with peace of mind. If you are looking for an attorney who is both highly knowledgeable and truly dedicated to his clients, we wholeheartedly recommend Michael T. Howard.

I contacted Mike Howard in the fall of 2014 and he advised me on how my personal injury case would evolve. Being from out of state I felt he always took the time to speak with me and visit with me when I was in town. From start to finish I felt he gave exceptional advce on all matters pertaining to m...y case.

I consider Mr. Howard's representation to be excellent and I highly recommend him as an attorney . Communication was clear and concise and we were always update about the process and next steps in moving our case forward. Questions and communications were promptly answered and the professional resou...rces he utilized in building our case were outstanding. Mr. Howard was able to initiate and successfully negotiate a very satisfactory settlement payment to us several weeks ahead of the court date that likely save a great deal of cost to me as the client.

Michael Howard's representation far exceeded my expectations. His knowledge of the law and understanding of legal proceedings was evident the first day we consulted with him. He represented my family and I in a motor vehicle accident claim. Myself and three small children were involved in the accid...ent. Michael Howard was referred to us after our first attorney from a different law was terminated from his position. It was the best referral we have ever had. Michael was able make sense out of months of paperwork and legal documents. He explained everything to us every step of the way. He spoke in terms my family and I could understand and he made sure we always knew exactly where in the process our claim was. Him and his staff were always sure to answer all of our questions. Michael was always available to take our call and never once did we feel like we were a burden to him. Michael shouldered ALL the weight of negotiations, while respecting our wishes. He maintained a very fair position and did not waiver. He was able to take a very emotional and stressful situation and helped us feel at ease. On our court date, he arrived prepared and on point! He did not miss a beat! He was also very well and appropriately dressed. When the claim was settled, the judge spoke off record. It just so happened there were student interns in the courtroom. The judge made special mention of them getting an opportunity to see Michael Howard in court. He spoke very highly of him. It was clear to me that Michael Howard has a well established respect within the legal community. I was proud to be represented by him. I have since referred him and will continue to do so. Our family couldn't have asked for a better attorney. He was always very friendly and we appreciated his hard work and dedication. satisfied client, J.S. - Post Falls, Idaho

Michael handled my our family's negligence/accident claim against a local care facility with true professionalism and skill. Michael was excellent at managing our expectations and keeping the case on track. He stayed in contact with us throughout the process. Michael was able to explain complicate...d facets of the law to ordinary people, he does not fill us with what we want to hear but with facts backed up with statutes. He gave us the confidence to make decisions and resolve this matter in a timely and cost effective manner. I highly recommend Mikes services to anyone in need of effective legal representation. Honest, factual, above board and good at what he does.
