Naman, Howell, Smith & Lee, PLLC

Stephen Carl is, without a doubt, one of the most exceptional individuals I’ve ever had the privilege of working with — not just as a lawyer, but as a person. His knowledge, professionalism, and thoroughness are unmatched. He approaches every case with care, clarity, and an unwavering commitment to doing what’s right. Stephen, alongside John Palmer, represents everything you’d hope for in legal representation: integrity, compassion, and relentless advocacy. These two are not only incredibly sharp and strategic, but also genuinely kind and deeply invested in their clients’ well-being. If you’re facing a custody battle, divorce, or any family law matter, I cannot recommend them enough. You will feel supported, protected, and seen. They are the gold standard in their field — truly the best of the best.

I wish I could give Jeff Armstrong and Cindy Berentsen more than 5 stars. They helped me through over 3 years of litigation, and they were amazing - even when I was difficult. ;) I never hesitate recommending them to family or friends. But, nonetheless, they will never ever fully understand how much I appreciate them. And, they will always have a special place in "my story."

From business issues to personal issues, the folks at Naman, Howell, Smith and Lee have taken care of me. Not only do I appreciate how quickly they get back to me but there is someone in the office that can answer any question I have. I appreciate the professionalism and at the same time the personal level that has been reached with the team that I work with.

John Palmer and everyone I have worked with at this firm have been helpful and patient throughout the process. I would recommend this firm to anyone I know that need good legal representation.

Sorriest law firm I have experienced. The mediator is biased and has no merit to the concept of fair law. Due to my experiences, stay clear of this group if you want a fair mediation. Very Very poor experience, especially with John Palmer as he takes sides and will have you signing unfair and less than professional documents. Beware. I am speaking on my experience and it was horrible. Poor character and legal representation. I have reported him to the state board.
