Joseph Wallace Howington

I had the pleasure to retain Mr. Howington in a family law matter. He provided me with an outstanding service in the courtroom. His experience in the Family Law is an asset. His staff are also very helpful and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend retaining Mr. Howington services because Mr. How...ington will provide you with knowledge, experience , and passion to win in court.

Mr. Howington represented me to help enforce a divorce judgement on my ex-husband. After providing Mr. Howington all of my pertinent details, he put me at ease and explained how the whole process would work. Because of his professionalism and known reputation, Mr. Howington was able to convey his i...ntentions on my behalf to my ex-husband which resulted in the perfect outcome. I can't begin to say what an amazing attorney Mr. Howington is.

Joe Howington – Absolute Best Attorney Nutshell of my case: I was divorced over 14 years ago with 2 small kids. Remarried in 2008. In 2009 when the economy tanked I had to close my business. My ex wife wouldn’t work with me and we had to file a motion to revisit the support as I had 50/50... custody. My ex wife’s parent are multi millionaires who paid all of her fees with no regard to the amount. My ex wife had no less than 5 attorneys over the past 6 years…… she spent mid 6 figures on attorney fees going after me and my wife. You name it, they tried it: Sued my current wife and her business, Sued my best friend, Sent subpoenas to my customers, sent private investigators to watch us and look into everything connected to me, Sent Forensic CPAS to examine books, Ridiculous amounts of Discovery, Several Depositions, etc….my ex even tried to have my wife and I arrested for fraud. After several years we finally made it to trial. We had a 31 day trial. The results of the trial were very good. Due to my ex wife’s tactics and gamesmanship I ended up with 100% legal custody and my ex was ordered to pay my attorney fees and the attorney fees my new wife incurred. She even owed me for OVERPAYMENT of child support of $46,000.00. My ex wife appealed the decision and in Nov 2014 the appeal came back 100% in our favor. This case was so extreme that the Court of Appeal published the case. Why is Mr. Howington so good? He is very well respected in his field. I was in Court approx a 100 times and I saw him first hand deal with other Attorneys, Court Secretaries, Court Reporters and several Judges. I knew he was the correct attorney for me when he stepped in and was a Judge Pro-Tem for Judges that were out. The Judges trusted his knowledge and skills so much that they had him sit in their place on the bench. The best part about Mr. Howington was his knowledge of how Family Law works. He would tell me “no” on some items I wanted to do. I didn’t like to hear “no”, who does? He would then explain why this will not work because of the laws or the timing was wrong. Mr. Howington told me “no” because it would end up hurting my case……I appreciate him for sticking to what he knows was best for me. I could go on and on about the knowledge and skills of Mr. Howington. Bottom line is: Divorce and Custody and Support cases are difficult at best. Everyone is emotionally driven. I needed someone who could navigate the intricate maze of family law, and Mr. Howington is a expert in this area. 100% give Mr. Howington a 5 star rating.

Mr Howington and his excellent staff did a great job with my divorce, and was very effective at preventing any successes from the opposing counsel. His immense knowledge and long years of experience were very invaluable in helping me. His staff are very courteous and professional. I highly recommend... him. (he's also a nice guy)

If you are reading this review then I must assume you are entering or are already going through a divorce or custody battle. I am so sorry. You will need a great deal of support and an extraordinary legal team to help you handle the countless requests, emails, opposing council crap, court dates and... the overall aggravation that undoubtedly will be caused by your ex. This process will most likely push you to your breaking point and evoke so many emotions but through it all, it is crucial you stay focus on all you need to do. You will need someone who will advise you and direct you from doing something that can potentially be devastating to your case. Number one advice I can give you is that you must have the utmost confident in the person who is representing you. To that I say, "LOOK NO FURTHER!" Mr. Howington is the embodiment of everything you will need and want on yours side to help you fight for what you think is right. He will never sugar-coat anything and he will always give you the benefit of his 34 years of experience. His staff is awesome (Shout out to Heather)! They all are extremely professional, expedient and very friendly. They seem to work tirelessly for you and make you feel like you are the most important case they are working on. I am so grateful I was referred to Mr. Howington from a former client of his. Although the outcome of my situation has not been resolved I am more than confident Mr. Howington and his staff are doing all in their power to get me a favorable outcome. As much as it can be, given that my divorce/custody battle is the most detestable situation I have ever gone through, I can still say it has been a pleasurable experience working with Mr. Howington and his staff.
