This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Thank you!

I am very happy I used Lerner and Rowe. My case took three years, but it was very well worth it. My attorney Mr. Howard and my call rep Gabby Fernandez made my three years go quickly. All questions were always answered with no delay. I always felt welcome.

Everyone worked so hard

Everyone worked so hard to help my family and I. Thank you all. I appreciate all the hard work and dedication. Gabby was great to deal with. Alicia got me more money than I expected. I appreciated everything you all did.

Tom Howard and His Team Were Awesome

After two and a half years, I ended up being very satisfied with my case. I met Glen Lerner 20 years ago when he would come into my restaurant in Vegas before going to his gym. He made me believe in his firm. Tom Howard and his team were awesome. I'm very happy.

Avvo Rating

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.
