David Watson Howenstine's Lawyer Endorsements
"Mr. Howenstine represented an airline in a case brought by my paraplegic client against several multinational airlines, product manufacturers, and a governmental entity. He was very professional during the discovery process in particular and cooperated with numerous counsel in federal court, moving the matter forward to the advantage of all parties involved. He demonstrated thoroughness of representation by attending a State Court appellate hearing that was separate, but related to, his client's case. I endorse this attorney."
