Covering a period of over three decades, the vast legal and corporate resume of Attorney Richard Howe reflects a term as National Accounts Director of a Fortune 500 Corporation and as Managing Partner of the Howe & Associates Law Firm.

This prestigious recognition, which is awarded to only a select few attorneys nationally – and only lawyers with over ten years of litigation experience even being selected as candidates – is considered as “preeminent” and is in reality the highest rating attainable. According to the publication, this evaluation “demonstrates that an attorney has achieved the height of legal excellence and is recognized for the highest levels of integrity and skill in the practice of law.” The second most established attorney evaluation guide nationwide, AVVO® has awarded Mr. Howe a perfect 10.0 rating. This assessment, which evaluates lawyers across the country through a comprehensive mathematical evaluation of their background, experience and professional achievements is the highest rating attainable and allows the lawyer to garner the title of “superb.”
