A Targeted Approach to Employment Law
JT ​​Howell & Butler's dedicated employment law practice is built on a simple principle: focus on quality, not quantity. The firm accepts a limited number of employment law cases each year, allowing its attorneys to dedicate the full force of their experience and resources to each employee who has been wrongfully terminated, discriminated, retaliated against, harassed, or underpaid by their employer.​
​​
Jake Howell and Kelly Butler carefully select employment claims with a high probability of success. From the moment they take an employment law case, they give 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.
​
JT Howell & Butler's steadfast commitment to selecting high-quality employment law cases and providing exceptional employment law representation is why their San Diego clients recommend JT Howell & Butler above the rest of San Diego's employment lawyers.
​
Jake 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 approximately $3 billion per year in revenue and over $1.7 million per year in revenue per lawyer. Jake learned the ins and outs of the San Diego civil litigation scene litigating directly under one of San Diego's best trial attorneys.
​
Kelly Butler also graduated from USC Law School. Prior to becoming a partner at JT Howell & Butler, she spent five years working as a defense-side employment attorney, most recently at the well-respected national firm Quarles & Brady. As a representative of Quarles & Brady's California office, Kelly was nominated to the firm's nationwide Associate Committee, and established herself as the go-to counsel for several of California's largest and most prestigious public entities.
What Does "No Fees Until We Win" Mean?
​

Under a contingency fee basis, the fee is calculated as a percentage of the compensation JT Howell & Butler 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.
