Summary:
I help clients buy, sell, and develop property. I have extensive experience handling the complexities associated with contaminated property, including litigating cost recovery actions and negotiating agreed orders and consent decrees with federal and state agencies. I also counsel clients, including lenders, on the risks of buying and selling contaminated property and assist them in drafting contractual protection against such risks. When not working on contaminated sites, I draft and negotiate real estate documents such as purchase and sale agreements, commercial leases, ground leases, construction contracts, easement agreements, and property management agreements.

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.

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!

"I endorse this lawyer's work."
"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."
