Oliver Howell is professional, personable, easy going, and effective. Highest recommendations, a pleasure to work with!

My family and I worked with Atty Howell to resolve a complex probate matter...He kindly and patiently explained court proceedings, various probate/VA appointments and composed correspondence in my behalf. Could not have done it without him!! I also recommended him to my brother, who was very pleased with his trust/will services as well. Thank you again Atty Howell, you're the best!... 5 STARS!

Oliver S. Howell is an exceptional lawyer that has assisted Lending Hands over the last three years with exceptional legal advice. Oliver has a unique ability to explain the legal issues along with the resolutions in an easy-to-understand manner. Oliver's professional demeanor is unparallel.

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.

I highly recommend Mr. Oliver Howell as a skilled and knowledgeable attorney. His professionalism during a difficult process was invaluable. In addition, he is down-to-earth and has a great sense of humor. This is important to me. He always made me feel comfortable with the questions I was asking and took the time to explain each step of the process.

I sought the services of Mr. Howell after the passing of my father, as I have no experience with estates, probate court, or the like. In every aspect Mr. Howell has showed exemplary professionalism and skill, and has made this process as easy and painless as possible. I would definitely recommend Mr. Howell and the services of Howell, Parfet, Schau.

my husband and I came to Mr.Howells firm for a family trust to be done and a review of our prior wills.From the moment we meet there was a rapport created that oozed trust. Both my husband and I were impressed with his direct answers and the reason he felt it was appropriate for what we needed. He was unhurried and had a warm sense of humor when needed. We would recommend his services without hesitating.

I have found that working with Oliver Howell has been delightful. Quick to understand what is needed, a timely, intelligent response and altogether a great experience. A necessary request for a copy of a document was met with a happy and quick reply. A good attorney and a positive staff, what more could I ask?

Highly recommend working with Oliver. Couldn’t of asked for someone better to help us. He was very thorough, answered any and all questions/concerns we had, extremely responsive, communicated very well, and was patient with us. Loved not having any pressure and just being able to consult and have the personable, professional guidance he gave.

We had Oliver Howell prepare an Estate Trust document for us. He was a pleasure to work with and handled all of the details in a very efficient and timely manner. We would highly recommend him!

Oliver Howell of Howell Parfet Schau was exceptional in handling our case and obtaining a settlement in our favor. It was a difficult case with multiple defendants, and Oliver navigated the situation with great skill. Oliver succeeded where a previous law firm was ineffective in obtaining a settlement.

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.
