"A friend referred me to Sherry Grant, a partner in the Workers Comp department. She took the case, and also referred me to Howard because there was a personal injury aspect. I left my first meeting with him with trust and faith that he could get the job done. He was always thinking one step ahead of everyone else, and had his hands around all of the technical details. He treated me with the utmost respect.
There are some types of people who are unique in this world and Howard is one of them."
