A Targeted Approach to Civil Litigation

J.T. ​​Howell's practice is built on a simple principle: focus on quality, not quantity. He accepts a limited number of employment, personal injury, and probate cases each year, allowing him to dedicate the full force of his experience and resources to each case.​

​

Howell does not maintain a large civil litigation practice. He does not handle dozens or hundreds of cases. Instead, he carefully selects a handfull of claims that have a high probability of success. From the moment he takes a case, the trial preparation begins.​

​

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

​

Howell graduated from USC Law School and began his career in New York City at one of the world's top law firms, McDermott, Will & Schulte. McDermott boasts over $2.8 billion per year in revenue and over $1.6 million per year in revenue per lawyer. When Howell moved from New York to San Diego, he learned the ins and outs of the San Diego civil litigation scene at a well-respected regional powerhouse, litigating directly under one of San Diego's best trial attorneys.
