Great response rate!

While I was out of town I was made aware of a problem with two of my employees. I consulted Mr. Howell about my problem and what my rights as an employer were. He was very informative and quick to act about my situation. He informed me of my rights and what the best course of action would be. His re...sponse and willingness to help me saved my company from further loss due to my employees breech. I highly recommend Mr. Howell.

Estate closure

Met with Wesley Howell regarding a estate closure in Florida. Wesley was able to find a law firm in the state of Florida that would be willing to help me and my family able to close out an estate and go through the proper legal channels. Not only did he find a lawyer for us, but he followed up with m...e to ensure everything was going smoothly and efficiently.

estate information

i had a consultation with Wes about handling and estate and getting some basic information about the task at hand. he informed me that since the estate was out of state he could not do anything here, but he did some research and referred me to several attorneys in the area that i needed and also ans...wered any questions i had about the estate in general. did an excellent job and was very helpful with the information i gave him .

What a guy!

I contacted Mr. Howell when a home builder refuses to let us out of a contract to build a home after we were not prequal properly by one of their preferred lenders. He directed us through the process as we finally were able to be released from said contract.

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.
