Winston & Cashatt, Lawyers

We had the privilege of working with Michael T. Howard on a very challenging case involving our home purchase, and we cannot recommend him highly enough. In March 2021, we bought a home that unfortunately turned out to have a major structural defect deliberately concealed by the sellers. The problem centered on the front porch, where concrete had been poured over a wooden deck, causing severe structural instability that threatened the integrity of our entire house. Within months, cracks appeared in our walls, and we later uncovered overwhelming evidence that the sellers knew about the issue and had gone to great lengths to cover it up. From the very beginning, Michael was thorough, professional, and compassionate. He listened carefully to our concerns, reviewed all of the evidence we gathered--including testimony from a neighbor and a contractor who confirmed the sellers' knowledge of the defect--and guided us through the legal process with clarity and confidence. He made sure we understood the strengths of our case, the risks of litigation, and the best strategy moving forward. Thanks to Michael's expertise and persistence, we were able to secure a settlement of $65,000. While it did not cover the full $120,000 cost of repairs, Michael's counsel to accept the settlement allowed us to proceed quickly with urgently needed repairs rather than face years of uncertain litigation. His practical advice, combined with his strong advocacy, made a very stressful situation much more manageable. Beyond his legal skill, Michael was consistently supportive, responsive, and honest. He never sugar-coated the realities of our case, but he always fought hard to protect our interests. Because of his efforts, we were able to repair our home and move forward with peace of mind. If you are looking for an attorney who is both highly knowledgeable and truly dedicated to his clients, we wholeheartedly recommend Michael T. Howard.

My long time family attorney recommended Mike Howard to me for an accident incident. When I called, his assistant put me right through to Mike which was nice. He listened to me explain the facts then asked me several key questions. He masterfully summed up my entire situation in a clear and concise ten minute overview. That summary gave me the info I needed to decide which way to go. That initial phone call showed me that Mike has the kind of knowledge and experience to get the best results. I will be using Mike Howard again in the future if needed. Dave N.
