A Targeted Approach to Employment Law

J.T. ​​Howell's dedicated employment law practice is built on a simple principle: focus on quality, not quantity. He accepts a limited number of employment law cases each year, allowing him to dedicate the full force of his experience and resources to each employee who has been wrongfully terminated, discriminated, retaliated, harassed, or underpaid by their employer.​

​​

Howell carefully selects employment claims that have a high probability of success. From the moment he takes an employment law case, he gives the employee's matter the attention it deserves. This philosophy produces the best outcomes for employees, often resulting in quick, confidential, and favorable employment law settlements with former employers.

​

Howell's steadfast commitment to selecting high-quality employment law cases and providing exceptional employment law representation is why his San Diego clients recommend him above the rest of San Diego's employment lawyers.

​

Howell graduated from USC Law School and began his career at one of the world's top law firms, McDermott, Will & Schulte. McDermott is a top 25 law firm by revenue in the United States with over $2.8 billion per year in revenue and over $1.6 million per year in revenue per lawyer. Howell learned the ins and outs of the San Diego civil litigation scene litigating directly under one of San Diego's best trial attorneys.

No Fees Until We WIN!

What Does "No Fees Until We Win" Mean?

​

J.T. Howell typically works on a contingency fee basis, meaning his employment law clients don't pay anything unless he secures a favorable verdict or settlement. Under a contingency fee basis, the fee is calculated as a percentage of the compensation J.T. Howell recovers for the employee; so there are no upfront costs or hourly rates. This allows you to pursue your employment law case without financial risk. You only pay when you win, ensuring you can focus on your case without stressing about costs. With us, there are no fees unless we succeed.

"One of the brightest legal minds I’ve interacted with in my legal career. Counselor Howell is also one of the few within this profession who is capable of thinking outside of the stuffy legal world and able to communicate with clients with practical solutions to real world problems. I couldn’t recommend more highly the services of J.T. Howell."

"Mr. Howell was extremely helpful. He assisted me throughout the entire process with all requests as quickly as possible. I never had to worry while working with Jake or his team. I won't hesitate to use Jake again in the future for any litigation services. If you're looking for someone who is trustworthy, reliable, and can get the job done, he is the guy!"
