BEST ATTORNEY ANYONE CAN FIND

Howard Olsen is THE BEST ATTORNEY that has ever existed. He's genuine, hardworking, and very good at attorney work . He's very knowledgeable, does quality work, and supports you throughout the case. He's a hero and stands by his clients during rough times and does the best work. He's also the best p...erson you can ever meet, on top of being the best attorney. He has lots of morals and his genuine characteristics are hard to find.

Best Lawyer Ever!

Howard Olsen is the most ethical and dedicated attorney I have ever worked with. He made me feel very comfortable and confident with the entire legal process. If I ever had any questions or concerns, he addressed them immediately. I would recommend Howard, without any reservations, to anyone seeking ...a highly qualified attorney.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
