Very professional, straight forward, wish I would have found her as a lawyer years ago. Great staff too.

Jennifer Howe is an excellent attorney. She is professional, organized and always explains exactly what is needed and any next steps. She handled my divorce and I would recommend her to anyone else needing assistance. She will always place your needs first.

Jennifer was a member of a legal team that assisted me with a partition matter. She was responsive, knowledgeable and accessible--even taking time from her vacation to move things forward.

Mrs. Howe was very helpful in regards to some unpleasant legal matters. She was straight forward and was good at explaining what is happening and what options there are. Would recommend.

Went through a long stressful divorce when I was overseas and Jen took care of everything thoroughly and was on top of my case. She was efficient with everything and was very dependable. She was always professional and an overall great legal advisor.

Jen handled my divorce and I was very happy with the service she provided. Jen listened to my wants and needs and followed through with my requests. Jen was very through in explaining where, what and how the whole procedure would be. I would recommend Jen Howe highly.

Jennifer handled my divorce including child support order, complicated division of the house and custody seamlessly. A difficult situation was handled effectively and respectfully at every turn. Communication was always clear and prompt. Everything was handled so perfectly, my ex husband has recommended the firm as opposed to his own lawyer.
