Anne Barbara Howard

I just wanted to tell anyone who is looking for a great attorney, to stop here. Attorney Anne Howard was marvelous. I simply can't express how much help she was in my case. Without her advice, we would never have come to such an amicable agreement. My husband and I have been fighting over our kids fo...r years. She offered some very good solutions that no other attorney had thought of. I found her to be very efficient and warm hearted. She listened to all my needs and I feel that I got fantastic results. She doesn't beat around the bush, she is very honest in her opinion, and straightforward. I hope this letter helps someone. God Bless

I faced a very complicated divorce (how many are simple?) which included six companies I ran (founded) in five countries and control over some 41 foreign bank accounts. To top that off, I faced tremendous political pressures at several companies, which my ex- diod not help lighten at all.I was bering... battered on several sides, and Anne was magnificent at knowing family law, knowing hos the local system works, how to keep me centered in the midst of my ex's rantings, and overall good case management from her friendly staff. I am a high-powered Type A personality, and she was with energy and intellect able to stand up to me and help me see broader pictures than I wanted. She reminded me to win the war, and not just a few of the battles along the way. She is a realist; a plaque in her office reads, "It is what it is". Grounding clients is one of her expertises. The toughest, and most expensive, part of my divorce was sorting through the bank accounts, advising which accounts were my (or community) money, and which accounts were corporate (i.e., not personal money). Topping that off, my wife was convinced I had $500,000 hidden in an offshore account. We ended up having the prove a negative, that I did NOT have any such financial arrangement. Anne's great in court but prefers mediation and related processes. We suggested that in the beginning, but my wife wanted to haul me to court and drag me in front of the public. We needed well oiver one year to get this issue settled. It was tough, it was expensive, it was tiresome. But also it was forced on us, and Anne kept me going when I was close to throwing in the towel, which is what my wife wanted me to do. And she is definitely not shy around other attorneys. She protected me well during my deposition from an attorney who was believing my wife's charges and trying to act tough.

The first day I met Anne I knew I had met my lawyer. I was referred to her by a friend of mine. Honest, upfront smart and best of all, Loyal. I knew she had my best interests as her number one priority. After going through a divorce...knowing I could trust her and not have one more thing to worry... about took a lot more stress off of the situation. Thank you Anne !
