Joseph Wallace Howington

Mr. Howington and associates are the team you need to get the best results possible. Their high level of integrity, attention to detail, and transparent honesty is unmatched! They took on my very unique and difficult case and I can honestly say they have been a God send to me. If you are looking for ...a family law/divorce attorney look no further.

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.

I have only the best things to say! I hired Mr. Howington in March 2015, the best decision I ever made. His office staff is incredible. Everyone in the office always does what they say they are going to do. They are amazingly efficient in every way possible. I have never had a better experience. ... I was not paid for this response at all. I often hear people say that divorce lawyers want to take your money, and don't want to help you. That has been the opposite of my experience. Mr. Howington and his team have done everything they could to reduce my expenses. Mr. Howinfton and his team have done everything they could, to reduce my bill. Every single decision, has been explained to me , by Mr. Howington or his staff, if it was going to cost more money, and didn't make sense, that was always brought to my attention as well. My process is not over with the office, still several items to do. One of the things that has cost me additional dollars, is chasing after my husband's attorney and their office for a response. Several documents have been sent, most are not responded to, even a courtesy answer would have been enough! That has been a very unfortunate outcome, and has left a sour spot for opposing counsel. Mr. Howington and his staff have made several attempts on various occasions to make sure they communicated with the other side , 95% of the time the other side did not respond. I would never thought that this would happen in 2015, however it did. For anyone considering using this office, Mr. Howington and his staff, I would highly recommend them, and if you hire them, I am confident that you Will have no regrets!

I am eternally grateful for Mr. Howington. He helped me in my custody and child support case. This was the worst time in my life and I couldn't have had a better attorney by my side. My ex-husband was sneaky and horrible and attempted to get a false restraining order against me, falsely reported me w...ith the police for harassment, filed a fake CPS report against me, reported my vehicle stolen and did so many other awful things. All of his lies were uncovered in the courtroom. I could have been in a really bad mess but Mr. Howington had it all handled and none of my ex-husband’s false claims went anywhere. Heather was the paralegal assigned to my case and she was truly amazing as well. Mr. Howington and his team are very compassionate and take the time to understand their client’s needs. He is overall a standup man and is well respected in the court room by both other attorneys and judges as well. Definitely the man you want on your side. In the end, I believe the outcome truly was in the best interest of my daughter. I was awarded 70% custody of my daughter. I couldn't be happier with the outcome.
