I wish there were 10 stars or 100 to rate Mark Howard.I called Mark on very short notice. Less than a week before my court date,in which the case has been on going for almost three years with a different lawyer I hired. My previous lawyer practically left me hanging and Mark picked up all the pieces. I kid you not this man educated himself on my child support modification case within hours! I hired him on Friday,my case was 4 days after, which means he even worked the weekend to get caught up on my case. He was constantly communicating with me,as well as his assistant. They kept me informed at all times. He did for me in a matter of hours what my previous lawyer couldn't do in years. I was at ease, fully trusted Mark to the point that I could have let him make decisions for me because the interest of me and my kids were his top priority. He showed me outlines of everything he did, he called me and reached out to explain every possibility in my case and any outcome that may or may not happen. His assistant Joni was also very professional and always kept contact to inform me of any thing regarding my case. I cannot express the amount of gratitude that I have for this lawyer and the staff. He is very straight forward, got me back on track if my emotions started taking over. He is very direct, he explains your payments,what the invoice describes,what his next steps are. You will never feel left out in your case, you will always be reassured and confident that he will do his very best and have your interest at heart . My case was a child support modification like I stated ,but I'm more than positive that any case he handles will be handled with precision,professionalism and integrity. I am beyond satisfied with the outcome of my case. This man takes his job seriously and any case given to him his just as important as the next. YOU WILL NOT REGRET HIRING HIM. I wish I would have done so sooner.if there was an option to leave a video review I would have done so,only so anyone contemplating on hiring a lawyer could see the sincerity I have when speaking of him and the satisfaction I feel when I explain how wonderful him and his staff are. You can't go wrong with him. Thank you Mark for giving me faith in lawyers after I lost all hope.

Attorney Mark Howard represented me in a very complicated divorce. It was a very difficult time for me and my children. I trusted him as he always kept our best interests in mind. He was professional, knowledgeable, trustworthy and efficient. I would absolutely recommend Mark Howard.

Mr. Howard was recommended to me by a family friend who knew of his work. In the last two years, Mark Howard has helped me twice. I can honestly say he is an all-in lawyer who truly cares about his client and their story. He asks probing questions but intently listens to the answers because you will hear him repeat it weeks down the road. He is an experienced, knowledgeable lawyer with helpful, caring staff to back him up. He is an outstanding professional who produces results and solves issues quickly and efficiently. One of the many things that I respect him for is his honesty and the fact that he sets clear expectations. His priority is getting the client the best deal, which he did for me. I will always recommend him.

Mr. Howard was my attorney for my recent divorce. I had originally been Pro Se for most of the procedural filings. However, my divorce was going to trial and I knew I need an attorney now. I retained Mr. Howard on very short notice with only 10 days to prepare. I explained the details of the proceedings thus far to Mr. Howard and gave him all the filings. Mr Howard was very up front from the start. He explained that he could help me but could not promise anything. I was very impressed on how organized and thorough he was in representing me. In court, Mr. Howard was extremely knowledgeable of family law and proved his worth by being overly prepared, which resulted in a very favorable outcome for me. I avoided having to pay out an unfair amount of money thanks to Mr. Howard's skill and focus in the courtroom.

Mark does an excellent job explaining what to anticipate upon entering the negotiation process and family law court system - provacative claims by opposing counsel, baseless assertions on the ex-spouse's financial affidavit - to keep us focused on a successful settlement. He effectively explained "pro and cons" of alimony options - lump sum, monthly, rehabilitative - with a practical approach to conflict resolution and ultimately, divorce. His experience and established network, particularly in Hillsborough County, affords him broad access to resources that accelerated my settlement. While his client, Mark was an efficient time manager, and respectful/cognizant of costs of services associated with all aspects of marital dissolution.

Mark was hired to handle my divorce, the cost of divorce was reasonable, he and his staff kept me informed at all times, but what I liked the most was his sincerity and true commitment to what was in my best interest. Unlike attorneys I have hired in the past who typically pawn you off to a legal aide, Mark makes himself available to personally meet with you and walk you through every step of the process. If in the future I require legal services of any kind, I would definitely consult with Mark first. I would highly recommend his services to anyone.

My finance and I agreed to pursue a prenuptial agreement last year. Each of us had our own attorney. My attorney was Mark Howard who was recommended to me by a friend of a friend. The recommendation was spot on. This process always has the potential of generating a lot of stress which is why I wanted someone like Mark to represent me. Mark's professional handling of drafting our prenuptial agreement was also noted by my finance's attorney. Always a good sign when one professional recognizes and compliments one of his peers.

Mark was recommended to me by a good friend of mine. I went to his office late in the evenings for consultations. This was very convenient as I work during the day. Anytime I had a question for him I could call or email and could expect a response in a timely manner. He was very up to date and knowledgeable on Florida divorce and child support laws. Also, anytime there was a status update on my case he would inform me of it as soon as possible. I wish I would have known Mark to represent me in past cases and would highly recommend him to anyone.

Mark came into my divorce case post judgment to reopen my case for myself and two children who were caught by surprise. My case has gone on for more than three years. His intelligence and work ethics are off the charts. He has taken his time to sit with me and explain legal terminology and always available to answer any and all questions. I would consider Mark as a man of integrity as an attorney and highly recommend him. He is a brilliant man.

MR. HOWARD WAS A TERRIFIC LAWYER. HE KEPTED ME UP TO DATE ON WHAT WAS GOING ON IN MY CASE. HE WAS VERY COMPATIONATE WHEN MY MORAL WAS AT ITS WORST. HE GAVE ME COPIES ALL THE LEGAL PAPERS. HE FOUGHT REAL HARD FOR ME AND I GOT EVERYTHING I WANTED. I COULD OF NEVER DONE THIS ON MY OWN AND I WANT TO THANK MARK HOWARD FOR THE HARD WORK HE PUT IN FOR ME AND MY SON. GO GATORS

Mark took over a case of mine that was in its 3rd year and going , and with in 7 months my case was close and I received the funds I was that I was supposed to received. I would highly Recommend Mark as Attorney . (Fair Honest )

My name is Ron Leder from Tampa, FL aged 47 and became part of a legal/dependency matter involving my 2 young children, their mother and many other ‘people of the system’ from 2009 through 2013. The first time I interacted with Mr. Howard was in the spring of 2013 by complete luck via cold call initiated by me. Mark spent over an hour with me at 7:00 pm listening to my situation, understanding my story, explaining the legal formalities and finally conveying encouragement after years of headache, heartache and humiliation. Within days, he had solid solutions, a practical plan, proactive action items and an affordable avenue for me to kick-start my valid claim and rights pursuit against those who wronged me. To summarize this short 6 month period of time we spent together, as my attorney, Mark Howard accomplished success and victory in this legal action as I the Plaintiff against the Defendant who is an active contractor for the Florida Department of Children and Families. After all my prior efforts of searching for any lawyer who practiced this arena of law, no attorney firm or licensed individual would even entertain hearing me not to mention accepting my case which includes ‘For the People’ Morgan and Morgan. In closing, Mark Howard exemplifies the complete opposite ‘negative connotation’ of how attorneys are sometimes or most times regarded in this day, age and world. I feel that first phone call will substantiate this claim and statement the same as it did for me that desperate day last spring. My case settled prior to further depositions, mediation and trial with a monetary compensation agreement that reimbursed me for all my out of pocket expenses, my attorney fees and my trouble. Mr. Mark Howard is Few and Far Between and will always be an Attorney and a Friend to Me !!! Ronald J. Leder Jr.
