Hired Attorney Howard A. Elliott

Howard Elliott has represented me in 3 or 4 different cases and has won everyone ! I referred him to my son and Howard won that case ! My son's best friend was going through a divorce and retained Howard , who also won his case . I will use Howard Elliott for any legal process that would require an attorney . He may not have been on O.J.'s Dream Team but he should have been , as he's that good !

Working with Mr. Howard Elliott has been a great experience I was young at the time and though I was young he was doing his job I did admit that I was wrong so I did the time but he was very professional, reliable, trustworthy, knowledgeable and he explained everything to me. It has been 33 yrs ago and time has gone and went by and I have not been in trouble sending so now I'm planning to have my record expunged God's will be done. I will say this, we cannot live in the past, but we can always move forward into the future for a better life ahead.

Worked with this lawyer some time ago. He seemed to not remember the whole story when talking to me. Even though it was all gone through more than once. He wasn’t very sure about winning a case. The money I spent was way too much.

Hired Attorney Howard A. Elliott

Mr. Howard embarrassed me in court. He had my case settled in a earlier hearing but failed to stress there was a very small time window to get him back signed paperwork (first emailed) or the fact that it needed to be original docs to be mailed to him. To add insult to injury he ended up regular mailing the docs also after his office got them which never made it on time before a court date that was set subsequently. This mistake on his part had us both in court where he was so disrespectful and belligerent to me in and outside the courtroom that a courtroom bailiff was asked to wait with me as we waited at the clerks desk. Had Mr. Howard not been stopped i'm not even sure if he wouldn't have went as far as to transition from a verbal beatdown to physical. I'm really disappointed in his conduct as a 'professional' that someone has to pay to represent them and their interest. Definitely could benefit from anger management.

He will literally fall asleep in court. He will forget everything you tell him about your case and tell you that you never told him. He will make you feel like the biggest inconvenience that ever happened to him. Be sure to triple check his billing books.. they’re fictional. Best sellers.

Hired Law Firm

Howard was disconnected from myself and the opposing attorney. After seeking a other opinions, I learned that many of Howard's recommendations were compromising my situation & costing me a lot of leverage. One recommendation was to move out of the house, but the Magistrate & Guardian At Litem viewed that decision as abandonment. Myself, the magistrate, and opposing counsel all complained about Howard's lack of attention to the case. Howard was cheap, but you get what you pay for.

Gave this "lawyer " 3k to bring a case to court. Received one letter saying that I would be hearing from the other party soon. That was 4 years ago. Never heard anything from anybody. Save your and go money and get somebody else

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
