Recommend Service / Excellent Service

Thank you, Howe Law Firm, for providing very thorough, detailed, in-depth, and great service with my counter surveillance matter of my router and cellphone. I communicated with Tom, who made himself very available for questions, and he was very understanding and caring with my matter. I can't tha...nk Tom and Howe Law Firm enough for providing me with the peace of mind I needed. I recommend Howe Law Firm for your eDiscovery and Counter Surveillance needs.

Ransomware Resolved

Tom Howe at Howe Law Firm is a life saver! Or should I say, money saver? His technical knowledge is extensive and he saved me potentially thousands of dollars from a ransomeware attack. I was understandably freaked out at the time and worried about a family member. He treated me with respect, compass...ion, and brought me back to earth. Problem solved!

Mobile forensics

I hired Tom at Howe law firm for mobile forensics in regard to a family law case. Since the first point of contact with Tom, my experience has been great. He is very knowledgeable in his field and quickly answered all of my questions. The black box he uses to remotely take a forensic copy of your ele...ctronic device shipped extremely quickly and was very easy to use. Tom walked me through the whole process and took the time to understand the specifics in my case. The excel program he uses for the report is very convenient in moving forward with any case. I would highly recommend for anyone who needs a lawyer who possesses this skill. Very professional, punctual and knowledgeable.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I am a Portland family law attorney. I recently had a case involving a substantial amount of digital data stored on my client's cell phone. As is very common now, text messages and voicemail evidence were critical to our case theory. Because the client lives out of state, Howe Law Firm promptly shipped her a "Black Box" to do the forensic collection. These boxes are incredible - they are an all-in-one collection point that didn't require my client to be separated from her phone or send it anywhere, and it was shipped right to her door. I honestly couldn't believe how fast the turnaround was. I obtained the texts I needed to negotiate an excellent settlement for my client (pat on the back for me!). Working with Howe Law Firm was easy, and Tom was flexible and personable. Most notable, they were patient and understanding with my client, who was going through a stressful and traumatic divorce. I can recommend Howe Law Firm for digital forensic collection without hesitation."

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.
