Rob and Laura were especially diligent in managing the critical issues of my case. Rob and Laura delivered exactly what I hoped for-shared custody of my children. Kim is very responsive and always kept me up to date. I am very thankful for their help.

I can't say enough about the support we received while dealing with my mother's estate. Everett Bolton was so compassionate and did a wonderful job explaining the process step by step and helping us down the path of closing out her affairs and estate. I would highly recommend Everett Bolton for his expertise and knowledge. He took such a large burden and stress off of us during this emotional and trying time. Thanks, Scot Carboni

Rob practices with his father who is a well known & respected domestic relations attorney, so he has learned from one of the best lawyers in that field, and I highly recommend him for AV rating.

If you are asking about Robert E. Howard, Sr., I have known him since he started practicing law. I have cases against him, and mediated cases in which he was involved as an attorney. However, if you are asking about Robert E. Howard, Jr., I know him, but I am not in a position to rate him because I have not had that much contact with him.

The only reason he has any good reviews is due to them being peer reviews, because opposing advocates love that Howard Jr. doesn't fight for his clients and will allow them to drown in lies . He will misled his clients. unfortunately, I too fell into hiring this firm without doing any research. Howard Jr. does fill his clients with lip service to get paid, then never does anything he states. . Soon as he gets a payment he disappears. He leaves his clients stranded. You have to watch him close He will make sure that any evidence of wrongdoing by the opposing party is not entered into evidence, so its not on the official records for appeal. He will have backroom meetings where there is no records of communication and then sail his client down the river. Watch out, he will help the opposing atty bury you in lies. The state bar should require disclosure of psychiatric conditions of lawyers to clients, so clients understand fully who/what they are dealing with.

He was put in charge of my finances and literally didn't pay my bills when I asked and I now have collections on my credit. I have reported him to the NC Bar.
