Howell Parfet Schau

My dad and I hired Oliver Howell in 2021 to help us with my grandfather's trust. My uncle took over as sole trustee when my mom passed and he thought all of the property of the trust was now his. Once Oliver got involved he started filing in the court system for us to get our personal property from the trust property first. It took over a year in order to finally get our property from the trust. Unfortunately on the day and time agreed upon, we had issues getting our property due to my uncle not willing to give us all of our stuff even though the court order said we could take it. I had to contact Oliver on a Saturday while at the trust property trying to get our stuff loaded up. Oliver spent a few hours contacting my uncle's lawyer firm to get this resolved. Long story short we had 6 court hearings in 2022 and Oliver was fully prepared for each one. Oliver would also give suggestions based on his experience that might be best for our situation. No matter our decision, Oliver always did the best he could to get us a favorable decision from the court system. I highly recommend his services if you have estate/trust issues. Oliver listens to the situation and does his best for his clients.

Oliver Howell has been amazing in taking care of our trust needs. He has explained clearly and concisely alternatives, making sure we have a full understanding of choices. His integrity and follow through have been all that can be expected. I would highly recommend him for any necessary litigation.

Based on a referral from a Habitat for Humanity friend, we contacted Oliver Howell for assistance with legal guidance on selling our home. Oliver replied to our request promptly, and with upmost professionalism. After communicating with him over the phone, and by subsequent email, we had every confidence that he would guide us through the process thoroughly and legally. He made us feel as though he had our best interests in mind, as he followed up with the appropriate paperwork with promptness and precision. We will be following up with Oliver in the next few months to finalize our sale. We are confident that our upcoming experience with him will continue to be positive. We will not hesitate to contact Oliver for future legal and professional assistance.

Oliver was fantastic to work with. We became first time parents so decided it would be important to create a will and estate plan, something my husband and I had never done before. He walked us through different scenarios and helped us figure out a plan that should the most unfortunate thing ever happen, we'd be confident our daughter would be taken care of. Really appreciate Oliver helping us understand how the law works. His office was timely in mailing us the final hard copies of the documents with step by step directions of what to do with it. Can't wait to visit their new office location next time we need his services! Thank you Oliver.

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.
