Law Offices Of Fred T Howe

Contacted this lawyer to help with a divorce decree with the assets being split/paid according to the decree from about 9 yrs ago for my fiance. Contacted him through email and he was responsive and knew all of this information. He suggested I scan and email him the decree, which I did. He then suggested calling his office to schedule, why that part couldn't have been done through email, I'm not sure as when I later called, he was the one who answered the phones also. This was after one call and voicemail left in the presence of another person, wherein he claimed he got no call or voicemail, although my call to his number was on my call log. Then called to make an appointment as he suggested. We ultimately could not schedule as he could not accommodate that we needed a 4pm or later appointment. My fiance and I both work over an hour away from the Wyoming Valley(over 60 miles away) so getting back prior to 4 isn't feasible. He said 3pm was the latest he could do and couldn't accomodate us although when speaking with him or communicating with him via email it was much later than 4pm even. He also said, "this is for your fiance, so I need to be talking to her, do you know her schedule?" A, yes I know her work schedule, B, she didn't know how to go about going after her share of assets from her decree she never got to begin with due to an incompetent system in the first place apparently or she would have had them when the order/decree came out, and C, I'm the one who'd be paying for your services, (if we selected him). People pay these attorneys thousands and thousands through a divorce process and don't receive the assets they are supposed to in the decree so what did you pay them for? To go through the motions to ultimately not get any of your possessions or assets (which were significant) in the end, is not something any logical or reasonable person would say is ok. During the call, I would describe him as crude, rude, pushy and flat unprofessional in my opinion. After hearing his attitude and personality I would not have selected him anyway. He may in fact, be a skilled attorney, that I do not know, but in my opinion, his customer service, personality, and demeanor were terrible and in my humble opinion he has an attitude problem also. I'm not going to pay someone hundreds an hour to get an attitude from him, or allow him to talk to my fiance or I in that manner. In my opinion, he needs to seriously introspect on how he speaks to potential clients.

I highly recommend his services Very attentive to emails Always gets back to you quickly he is a hard-working attorney he gets things done

Fred helped my brother with custody issues years ago and recently helped me. He believes in what is best for the children. He is reasonably priced, gives honest advice, and responds in timely matters! Even when the case was finalized, he continued to go above and beyond to ensure the new custody order was being followed. I full heartedly recommend him for all custody and child support cases!

Fred made sure I got 50/50 custody with my daughter and fair child support amount. He was on top of everything and he was able to get a custody agreement done before we went trial. It's a tough situation having to fight for fair custody of your child as father. He made me feel confident that it would go through and it did. I highly recommend his services.

Fred Howe was a FANTASTIC attorney to work with. He was extremely dedicated regarding my case and very transparent. He remains professional and is very versed in family law! Also he was very organized and detail oriented in terms of being prepared. I will recommend him to anyone in the future in regards to family court cases! And will continue to seek his professional guidance in the future when/if needed. He was very responsive when it came to replying to any of my messages in a timely manner. Overall an amazing professional well worth your time. His fees in my opinion were very reasonable as well!
