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.
