Great attorney!

I want to start off by thanking Mr. Howington and staff. We are very blessed to have been referred to this law firm . Howington & associates have been great from the beginning. I have deal with other attorneys before in the past in regards the same case and they failed to help me out in every way . A...gain I thank God that he put us Howington & Associates in our path. From the beginning My husband and I walked into the lobby the environment felt great. From the receptionist to every staff member in the firm are streamly kind caring and most important very professional. After meeting with Mr. Howington and speaking to him it gave me a peace of mind and knew right there and then I was in good hands and he would help me out on my needs. Said and done He helped me out every step of the way and never said he would do something and not come thru with what he said. Always very professional and concern about making sure everything was ok. I've have never known an attorney like Mr Howington someone who's really there for their clients and cares not just in for the money he actually cares and does what you hired him to do and beyond. Always went by the book very honest and truthful about everything. His staff members are so kind and the nicest people ever met so sweet and helpful but most important professional. Thank God he was able to resolve every single issue I had and gave my kids and Us some peace in our life's. To anyone who needs a trust worthy, professional, and Amazing attorney I would definatetly recommend Mr. Howington. If you want to get results, his the one to contact.! Again Thank you!! God Bless!

Awesome attorney.

I had been divorced for a few years prior to meeting Joe Howington. I learned through the grapevine (my ex wife's ex friends) that my ex-wife, (who was not supposed to be working) was working for a horse training center and making large amounts of money under the table. I also had learned she was tak...ing exotic trips to Africa, Canada and all over the country while supposedly not employed. I was paying her huge monthly support payments and she was making more money than was so I decided to take her back to court for a support modification. I did not want to use my original divorce lawyer so I asked around who was the best Family Law Attorney in the Inland Empire and Joe Howington's name came up. I contacted him and our first meeting was very cordial and professional. I knew right away this guy knows his stuff. I hired Joe to represent me for this case and he went right to work. My ex-wife rehired her original divorce lawyer which I did not care for at all. Once the court docs were filed, she had "conveniently" lost her high paying job as horse trainer but then she got a minimum wage job working for a law office. We had learned that they were going to go after a higher monthly support payment because said she is not healthy and unable to work full time. (She was very healthy when she divorced me) After a several court hearings, the pressure was getting to me and I almost threw in the towel a couple of times. It was Joe's paralegal Heather that kept encouraging me to stay in there and fight for what is right. I am so glad I did too. My ex's attorney told the court she is unable to work full time because she developed borderline diabetes. Joe told the court that she was healthy at the time of the divorce and that I am not her insurance policy. The judge agreed. Not only did she not get any more support from me, the support was cut in half. Now I can breathe again. On a side note, Joe Howington is a very personable individual. Whenever we met at the San Bernardino courthouse, he seemed to know everyone and everyone seemed to really like this man. While talking with him in the hallways, people would walk up to him with big smiles and give him a friendly hello. He would joke around with the elevator attendant. He would even stop each time outside to the guy selling soda's and water in front of the courthouse. He would ask for a coke then get out a large bill and hand it to him and tell him to keep the change. Then he would hand the soda back to him. The vendor would stop and pray for him right there. I know enough Spanish to know that he asked God to help Joe win all his cases and in my case, God was listening. It was great to see Joe interact with everyone. It made me know I had the right attorney working for me. Thank you Joe for all your help. You and your entire staff are AWESOME and it was a pleasure to work with you.

Joe Howington is a miracle man and the truly the best attorney!

Mr. Howington is an amazing attorney! I am forever grateful to him and his staff for all that they did on my divorce. From the first moment I met with him, I knew that he was the attorney I could trust to help me and my daughter. I came to him desperate, and unaware of what legal remedies would h...elp to what ended up to be a very complex divorce proceeding. Mr. Howington's experience of over 38 years in family law was the best fit for my situation. He had an answer for all the issues that came up during litigation. Mr. Howington does have the knowledge to handle difficult divorces that include complex assets such as businesses, properties, and other assets. You can count on his extensive experience and knowledge and be sure that he knows the law beyond expectations. He makes time for you even after battling in court for his other clients, and does make you feel that you matter to him. When you meet with him, you can see in his eyes that he is truly listening to you, and that you are safe with him. Mr. Howington will TRULY fight for you to the very end, he is a warrior at heart, who is blessed with great knowledge and experience. He has seen it all truly, and no matter what your fears are, he has an answer for all of your questions. All is left is to TRUST him, and wait for the process to be over. Even at the very end of the process, he is there to make sure all the details are taking care of, as he is very vigilant, and he stands behind you every step of the way. I recommend Mr. Howington to everyone who is filing for a divorce, or has a family law related issue. He will take care of you and your family, as his experience will handle cases from simple facts to extremely complex cases. Thank you Mr. Howington! As far as his staff, I will always love Heather! She is an amazing paralegal, who is extremely sensitive to your needs, and a hard worker. She is always there for you, and understands the emotional impact of a divorce. Mr. Howington's staff truly has heart, and expertise. You will be in great hands! Janina and Gina always answer the phone in such a wonderful way, the tone of their voice is always friendly and warm. The rest of the staff too are a great support team. Without Mr. Howington I would not have a home, and a secured future! Bobbie Howington is an amazing office leader! The whole office runs like a team. I am forever grateful to you all! My daughter and I will always have you in our hearts. The gratitude I have for all of you is far too much to put in words in this review. Mr. Howington's hard work goes beyond the hundreds of words I wish I had room to write. I would have to write a book to write down all of my thoughts! Thank you, thank you, and God Bless you!

I highly recommend Joseph Howington!

I am so blessed to have had Joseph Howington represent me in my child support arrears case. During the entirety of this case, I have felt that Mr. Howington truly has had my best interest in mind. Throughout this case, Mr. Howington has been very accessible, clearly and honestly communicating his i...deas and plans as well as considering my input. Though this case is still on-going, Mr. Howington used his expertise to tackle this unusual case via every possible angle, resulting in the recovery of a large sum of arrears. In addition to this, I have felt that the entire staff I have communicated with at his office has been not only professional, but also friendly, helpful and on-board with me. Thank you, Mr. Howington for all your help. You are highly recommended! Thank you also, to all at Howington & Associates. Together you make a great team.
