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.

We reached out to Mike Howard and paralegal Lora Henderson regarding potential action we're considering against our insurer. In our consultation, he spent ample time walking me through all our options, consideration, and potential risks. His honesty, high character, and professionalism really show...ed through. I highly recommend Mike and their team for any legal need!

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
