Client Review

I worked with Howard extensively on a variety of matters for Suncadia, some of which were highly complex negotiations with adjacent property owners over access rights issues across the property. In the midst of significant legal uncertainties and negotiations with emotional and unsophisticated neigh...boring property owners, Howard was always a combination of solid technical expertise, excellent counsel on negotiation strategy and a calming and trustworthy presence in face to face meetings. He is also a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Howard as a man of intelligence, character and good nature.

Howard did a very good job for me to obtain a settlement from two Big Oil companies. His expertise in R.E. and environmental law, along with negoiting skills enabled us to obtain a very good settlement. This was a long, difficult case, I am pleased with the results.

Client Review

Howard is one of the brightest legal minds in Seattle. He has a tremendous ability to grasp the "big picture" and get to the heart of matters. Without his guidance my company would be in dire straights!

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"While my wife and I were in the process of purchasing our new 5-acre home, Howard reviewed the deed, title documents and seller disclosures and ably advised us of the land-use options and restrictions inherent in the property. I've known Howard for many years and cannot think of another attorney with more intelligence and integrity. Howard's firm also represented my father in a contract dispute and did a fine job. I highly recommend Howard, and Hillis Clark Martin & Peterson, to those in the Seattle area."
