Hired Attorney Heather R. Howard

Heather handled my trial, which was one of the biggest cases in recent times in our area. She put together a team of some of the best experts in their field from across the country. After gathering them, she flawlessly used their expertise to dominate the entire trial from beginning to end. The year we were working together, she showed unmatched legal prowess and knowledge. That allowed me to trust her fully amd to take complete control of the case without me having any reservations of the path and tactics we took. If I were asked for a suggestion for an attorney I couldn't think of anyone I'd suggest over her.

Hired Attorney Heather R. Howard

Ms. Howard has represented me in several family law cases through the years, the most recent being a back child support case. Ms Howard has devoted countless hours and dedicated herself to the lengthy process with a trial and appeals. She delivered excellent outcomes (both trial and defending the appeals) in a very difficult and complex case. Ms. Howard is highly knowledgeable, professional, and very client service-focused, she is committed to her clients and cares about their well-being. She is an outstanding attorney with an excellence communication style and the best attorney for any case.

Ms. Howard did a great job explaining to me everything about my case. I had a bad car wreck but I knew I could always depend on Ms. Howard to make sure that the insurance company wasn’t going to mess me over and I knew my case was in good hands. Ms. Howard is passionate about what she’s does- she’s a fighter! I can’t thank Ms. Howard enough for everything she did for me. She was very professional and always kept me in the loop. I highly recommend Ms. Howard. She’s the best! I will never use anyone but her.

Was very professional and helped make a difficult time in my life bearable. She came highly recommended to me from friends in the legal and court systems. She gave valuable advice and fought hard for my rights and benefits in the divorce proceedings. Would highly recommend to family and friends going through difficult times.

Hired Attorney Heather R. Howard

Heather Howard was the best attorney that I have worked with over the many years across multiple States for various legal proceedings. I greatly appreciated her help through the entire protective order and divorce ordeals. Heather made a very bad situation less stressful by keeping me focused and not spending energy on things that did not matter. Her professionalism and excellent guidance kept efforts moving forward and costs to a minimum. Speaking of costs, Heather's hourly rate and the hours spent on my case were very fair. Her billing was clear so there was never a need to question any charge. From the interactions with the staff at the Washington County Court House (e.g. other attorneys, judge, police officers, administrative support, etc.), I could tell Heather is a very well respected attorney in the community. For this and all that she did on my case, Heather will remain my go-to attorney for any future legal needs.

Ms. Howard represented me when the insurance company was trying to deny my claim after a car wreck. I was injured badly and she helped me get the money that I deserved. I appreciate how she kept me informed and handled my case very professionally. Any time I had questions, she always took the time to explain. I am 100% satisfied with the amount of my settlement and how Ms. Howard expertly handled my case.
