Hired Attorney Heather R. Howard

Ms. Howard is a down to Earth and truly caring individual, who just so happens to be an excellent lawyer. Her knowledge of the law, as well as the nuances of courtroom protocol are unsurpassed. However, she is more than willing to explain the whole process and what you should expect without all the legal jargon, which, in my opinion, greatly reduced the anxiety we all feel when dealing with legal matters. She always responded quickly, whether by email or phone. I would highly recommend her 100%.

Mrs. Howard was very thorough and very professional. She handled my case in such a way that I felt so at ease and confident as soon as I first met with her. I would definitely recommend her to others that "want to get things done."

Heather Howard was very professional and was able to help me resolve a very difficult child custody situation. I am grateful she was my attorney and believe without her help my divorce proceeding may of lasted years longer with little resolved.

Heather was amazing as I had never been through anything like this and was terrified. She helped cement a good relationship between myself and law Enforcement. Also continually working my case and responding to questions when everything was over as well. Heather was a true God send in my time of need and truly don’t know what I would have done without her.
