Posted by anonymous | March 11, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Adoption/guardianship

Mr. Howell took on my case and shortly after claimed to have medical issues and kept continuing my case. He took my money and only ever showed up to court once and because of him I lost my baby niece to the foster care system. He assured me that he would be in court then at the last minute cancel. My... niece was in foster care and it was important to me to get her out of that situation asap but he went to the others attorneys, without my telling me, and asked for a 5 week continuance. He finally told me I should seek council and then wouldn't refund my money. I'd give no stars if I could. In the end the judge told me that everything on my end looked good and if it had all been done sooner then my niece would have come home with me.

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.
