We had Oliver Howell prepare an Estate Trust document for us. He was a pleasure to work with and handled all of the details in a very efficient and timely manner. We would highly recommend him!
Oliver Howell of Howell Parfet Schau was exceptional in handling our case and obtaining a settlement in our favor. It was a difficult case with multiple defendants, and Oliver navigated the situation with great skill. Oliver succeeded where a previous law firm was ineffective in obtaining a settlement.
Oliver Howell of Howell, Parfet, & Schau handled the sale of our home to a private party without using any realtors. Oliver was terrific from the first contact. We were extremely impressed with how quickly Oliver responded to messages. He gave us an outline of the information he needed us to provide based on our negotiations with the buyer, then took our responses and crafted a perfect buy/sell agreement within three days. He responded to our questions and concerns on weekends and evenings. He also made arrangements for a title company to handle the closing, contacting them during the process to keep things moving. At one point, we had a road block because a mortgage from the 1990’s had not been discharged even though it had been paid before 2000. Oliver worked with the Title Company to make sure that was resolved. He reviewed all the closing work papers for us before we completed the sale. In summary, he made a difficult process easy for us and saved us tens of thousands of dollars.
Working with Oliver on our estate planning was an easy and pleasant experience, even while trying to do everything virtually during the pandemic. Highly recommend!
My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Oliver Howell. He was thorough and very clear! He made things very streamlined and I look forward to working with him for years to come.
We engaged Mr. Howell’s firm to help us with updating our 25 year old trusts and wills. We were referred to this firm by a lawyer friend of ours. We were pleased with how they engaged us, reviewed our existing documents, listened to our current status and recommended the necessary changes, all without feeling the need to throw out what we already had. Mr. Howell was able to keep the vast majority of the trust and just make a few changes in an amendment. His help and advice was timely helping us navigate life in 2021 as far as additional estate planning goes. We are very pleased with our interaction and would recommend this firm to anyone looking for trust and will advice.
Oliver Howell provided excellent service for my company, I will definitely continue to work with him and his team on all of my future business needs!
Oliver was recommended to us by an associate who had worked with him on their trust and that of their parent. Because of Covid restrictions, all meetings were online. He was prompt, answered all of our questions, and was delightfully personable and friendly. We couldn't be more pleased with the ease he put us in as we plunged into the legal world of our last wishes. He guided us easily and without stress, and answered our myriad of questions immediately and in language that we could understand. He led us to think about situations we hadn't anticipated and made sure we were covering all the bases the first time around. We highly recommend Oliver to help you through difficult times with understanding and compassion.
I worked with Oliver on a messy mechanic lien issue for a residential property dispute and Oliver was always timely with his actions/responses, well organized through the process and knowledgable with what needed to be done and course of action. I would recommend Oliver in a second to anyone seeking attorney support in his areas of expertise.
Recently, I worked with Oliver on an update to my estate plan and was very satisfied with his work. He even caught an error in the previous one, done by one of the largest firms in Michigan! He exhibited clear and timely communication, was accessible on the phone an followed up promptly with materails promisted.
