Joseph Wallace Howington

I am in the midst of a divorce and was referred to Joe by several other family law specialists. I find Joe to be very up front, open and honest about my situation. He has told me from the beginning that clients sometimes have unreasonable expectations but that he will do everything he can for me. Af...ter meeting with him the first time, I completely trusted that he truly would do absolutely everything within his power to get the best settlement possible for my children and me. In fact when we went to court recently that is exactly what he did. I was so proud to have him by my side arguing for me while the opposing side fumbled. He was well prepared and provided the judge with everything necessary to make a fair decision on an issue that was a little obscure. Prior to the hearing he completely prepared me on what to expect in court, when to meet, where to wait, what to wear, etc. The fact that he took the time to explain this process to me really helped my nerves on the day of our hearing. Aside from preparing me for the hearing he has talked me through and prepared me for every step of this process from the original filing to mediation and now the hearing. As we continue, I know that he will continue take care of the needs of my case. One of the most incredible things about Joe is his ability to recall the smallest tidbit of information that I shared with him months ago and apply it to the case today. Being so busy and working on so many cases at any given time, I feel like this is an amazing ability. Joe's office staff is great and I especially enjoy seeing Charlie Brown (to me he is a calming presence in the office at a time of great stress). Any time I have a question or concern I feel that I can email or call the office and get an answer. They are all very knowledgeable and if they are unsure about something they are upfront about that and will let you know that they need to check into it and get back to me. I appreciate that no one in the office will mislead or give bogus information. Joe makes himself very accessible. I was provided with his cell phone number which I felt was very generous and caring. I did have to use it once and he got right back to me, answered my question, calmed my nerves and found me a solution to my issue. He is very patient with his clients, after all these cases are very emotional and at times can be overwhelming and scary. I could go on and on about Joe's great attributes . . . If you are looking for a strong, caring, knowledgeable and overall great family law attorney please give him a call. You absolutely will not regret it!

My case was dropped after I paid Joe (Lawyer) after he told me he wouuld help me and finish my case. Now there is only one matter pending he wants to charge me more. The case doesnt even require to go to court now. Just to make sure my last court order is completed. He is very knowledgeable but its... all about the money then your forgotten! Very disappointed.

Joe was my attorney, though I am also a attorney. My background is as a litigator, and trust me, there is a huge difference between being a litigator who resolves matters prior to trial, and, a true trial attorney that has his second home in front of a jury and judge cross-examining witnesses and kn...owing trial tactics and strategy. Joe doesn't mess around in the usual minutia most attorneys do with opposing counsel, which only increases the bill. He focuses on the items that matter, and, is one of the best around. Any client would be in the best of hands with Joe, and I am so glad I personally found him.

This is the second time I've used Mr. Howington, and I still find him to be one of the best family law attorneys in the area. He is highly respected by the judges and his peers, which is why I am skeptical of the negative review below, (it was probably posted by the disgruntled "opposing" party). My ...experience with Mr. Howington was entirely positive. He and his staff treated me with such compassion. He always gave me all of my options and explained costs up front. It is hard to find an attorney these days who has integrity, but this guy truly does. He is very honest (and doesn't just tell you what you want to hear, like so many others do!). What I especially liked about Howington was the fact that he always showed up himself, instead of sub-ing in another attorney who wouldn't know as much about my case. Mr. Howington's quick wit, knowledge and experience have always given me the upper-hand. He is far too ethical to ever resort to under-handed activities (like ALL 3 of my ex-husband's attorneys did!). But his knowledge and experience are all you will need to win your case. I've recommended family and friends to his office, and they have all thanked me for helping them find such a great attorney! My case was complicated, but it was complicated by my ex's attorneys. I feel I was well-represented, and Mr. Howington was worth EVERY penny!
