Client Experiences

I suffered a personal injury when I was hit by a car while riding my bicycle. Although I am a lawyer myself, I don’t specialize in personal injury nor do I believe it is a wise decision to represent oneself in a lawsuit. I found John Howard, after doing some research online and learned that he has been voted trial lawyer of the year in Ventura County more than once. I can say with the utmost confidence that John Howard is a very ethical and a very good lawyer. We obtained a significant settlement from the insurance company, and I was very satisfied with the outcome of my case. If I ever have a personal injury issue in the future, I will not hesitate to contact John Howard.

I know all of you worked hard through many trying times, deadlines, and difficult moments. To have someone step forward on my behalf was awkward for me, but not once did I feel taken advantage of or taken for granted. All of you treated me with respect and understanding, and I hope you realize how important that was to me.

Michael

Thank you for helping me with advice regarding my car accident. You met with me at your office and listened to what I had to say, without me feeling rushed. I really appreciate that.

Douglas

Thank you for all your hard work on my behalf. I really appreciate that you went above and beyond and always had my best interests in mind. You were always so kind, considerate, and professional. It was a pleasure working with you.
