Our daughter recently needed the assistance of a family lawyer who could arrange for our daughter to retain custody of her three small children and ensure that she was safe during exchange times, while she worked out what she needed to live off of because she found herself in the awkward position of being dependant on someone who attained his strength through controlling means, scare tactics and fear that he would take her children away from her forever. In this weakened state, we didn’t just need a good family lawyer, we needed a sincere lawyer, with conviction who could deliver what he promised as quickly as possible through a court action and we were thrilled that Howard acted on our daughters behalf and delivered exactly as he promised within a very short period of time so our grandchildren barely knew what was going on.

I do not just consider Howard an incredible lawyer, I consider him a friend because he had our backs and kept the kids first and foremost in his mind throughout this stressful time. Because of Covid and the courts being so backed up, it was necessary for Howard to impress upon the courts that this situation required immediate attention and once again he got what he promised, a quick date for court where both sides could be heard. I have never worked with a lawyer who says things as honestly as Howard does, he doesn’t lead you to believe he can accomplish the impossible, he tells you the absolute truth of what he can do for you and the length of time based on his experience it would take him and I asked that he remains within a budget for us and he did that as well since these things can quickly get out of control when ego’s enter the room.

We had one bump in the road when my daughters in laws tried to contact her but Howard took it upon himself to write the type of letter to this person that forever let them know that our daughter had hired someone who now has her back and that she should back right off and she did exactly that.

Howard represents all that you can hope for in a lawyer. He is confident, efficient, honest and very easy to work with. I felt so lucky to have found him. When emotions got the best of my family, I also had the opportunity to see a great sense of humor while he was assuring my family not to worry, I never felt as comfortable working with a lawyer and I have worked with many of them in my business over the last 40 plus years. I would recommend him to anyone in need of a great family lawyer. Thank you for what you did for my daughter and her children Howard, you gave her back her life, her confidence and her smile and my family cannot thank you enough.

Dear Howard,
There’s not enough words to describe how thankful I am that you have done your best work for me during one of the most trying, depressing and difficult times of my life. You took an extremely tough and uncooperative situation, handled it with the utmost care and professionalism. You made every attempt to assist me in getting my divorce settled in the most cost effective and less harmful manner but were stonewalled for the entire 37 months we’ve been dealing with this.

I truly felt you were only looking after my best interest every step of the way. Your legal expertise is without question and now that I’ve seen you in action throughout the whole process and the trial, I feel I made the absolute best choice in selecting you to protect me and my interests. Your knowledge of the Family Law system is extremely impressive and your handling of all the paperwork, submissions and affidavits to the court were concise and thoroughly prepared. Now that we’re just waiting for the judges final decision, I’m confident that we will win our case.

Thanks again for your caring & friendship, your many calls to make sure I was ok and dealing with the pressure I was under. I will definitely let anyone I know who is having a family law issue or that could use mediation, will not hesitate to recommend you wholeheartedly.
