Hired Attorney Mitchell Howie

I cannot recommend Mitchell J. Howie highly enough. From the outset, it was clear that he is genuinely passionate about defending good fathers and ensuring they are treated fairly within the family law system. That passion is matched by exceptional legal knowledge, strategic insight, and an unwavering level of professionalism. Mitchell is tenacious without being reckless. He understands when to press hard and when to be measured, and every move felt intentional and well-reasoned. His grasp of family law, procedure, and courtroom strategy gave me consistent confidence that my case was being handled thoughtfully and intelligently. What truly set him apart, however, was how he treated me as a client. He always made me feel heard. I never felt like I was being dragged along or reacting to events after the fact. Instead, I felt informed, empowered, and in control—setting direction with clear guidance rather than being pushed into decisions.

Mr Mitchell J Howie law firm was hired after obtaining another law firm which they was very little responsiveness, trustworthiness, and or compassion for the situation for my family. After I spoke with Mr Howie, some hope was available-no promises but dignity. I recommend Mr Mitchell J Howie Law firm for your legal needs. Mr Howie listen to the concerns we had and he was very compassionate. He made me feel human and was judgmental. Step one was obtained now in hope the remainder of the case is favorable. Again I highly recommend Mitchell J Howie Law Firm for legal matters.

Mitchell Howie and his team is the most professional team I have ever worked with - they are the BEST legal firm in Alabama. Their reputation far precedes them, and when they walk into the courtroom, everyone knows you have a fighter and a winner on your side. At each stage, they exemplified professionalism, candor, and efficacy. No matter when I texted or emailed, I always got an immediate reply. To say his legal representation and sage counsel has changed my life would not be a hyperbole. If you are in search of the best counselor to help you navigate the legal waters, look no further than Mitchell J. Howie.

An Outstanding Divorce Attorney! I'm in a different state than where my ex-wife filed a contested divorce. I selected Mitchell sight-unseen in a real time crunch. He came through for me in spades. Knows his business, extremely professional, and helped me get through an extremely difficult period gracefully.

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.
