York Howell

Grateful for Steve Mayfield's calm demeanor, plus expertise in trust law. He's taught me a lot about this area, and patiently, because I ask tons of questions. He is prompt to respond. He always has salient interpretations of the law and its applications. Dallin Perry is also a great asset to his team. I know I'm in good hands with them. Thank you.

I am extremely disappointed and feel completely betrayed by this company. Due to their advice I am filing for Elder Abuse, fraud, conflict of interest, lack of training, failure to protect or enforce the penal codes and a loss of so much more than money and my life’s savings…They left me with a complete shock in humanity, would not stand up, let a person and their attorney outside of our family take My Mom’s life savings against anything my Mom or Sister would have wanted. It is so sad to see attorneys fail their Oath to do No Harm. I will share my complaint publicly to warn others to prevent trauma that could have all be protected. Shame on them from my Mom and my Sister, don’t do this work, don’t hurt anyone else. This is just the beginning for me. I am going public with this… I will keep posting here.

After my dad unexpectedly passed away, I found myself navigating probate for the very first time and it felt overwhelming. But Steve and Sha’uri made the entire process feel manageable. They were kind, efficient, and genuinely supportive every step of the way. I felt safe in their care and truly seen during one of the hardest times in my life. I wholeheartedly recommend York Howell to anyone in need of compassionate and competent legal guidance.

I spoke with Josh Hunt about a legal matter impacting my small business. He was generous with his time and advice. I would recommend.

We have engaged the services of Randy Sparks at YorkHowell Attorneys at Law three times over the past five years for various Will and Trust work and each time Randy and his team have been engaging, extremely competent and humble. A few months ago we needed some work done and Randy’s Associate Attorney, Matthew Richards, was responsive and knowledgeable. As you can tell by this review, I'm running out of adjectives to explain how genuinely pleased I am with the services of Randy and his team and will go out of my way to recommend family and friends to Randy at YorkHowell.

My wife and I recently needed to update our estate planning and will after 20 years. We found Randy Sparks at York Howell and decided to use him for our needs. Randy and staff were attentive to our needs, communicated clearly and often, and finished our plan. The cost was not excessive and right in line with what we paid 20 years ago. We feel prepared and a weight lifted from our minds with our updated trust/guardians/medical/will. We would definitely recommend York Howell and Randy Sparks specifically

I took a tour of the new office space, and I was moved by the attention and care they have taken to create a space that is clean, comfortable, beautiful and super efficient for getting work done. It felt more like a spa than it did a law office. I love this place.

I have used Dave for estate planning and I've also used Paxton for a real estate matter. Both were great to work with, very professional and knowledgeable in their area of expertise. I will use them again when needed.

Needed some guidance around business planning and what protections can be implemented for clients of mine and one of the attorneys there, Chris Jones, was professional and very thorough. I am impressed and confident to loop him in on multiple scenarios. I'd give him a 5 on timeliness responsiveness as well. Smart guy. Good firm.

Have known Chris for a few years and worked with him. Very Professional, knowledgeable, and always available.

I have used Chris Jones for many years and have had nothing but positive results. He has assisted with the creation of an LLC and has handled various legal issues that have arisen from my business dealings. Each time Chris and his staff have been honest and upfront about the process and costs involved. Chris is a Pro at what he does and it is comforting to know that I have a "go to" attorney who can handle any issues that may come my way. If you have a legitimate legal issue and need solid and sound legal advice, I wholeheartedly recommend Chris Jones and his capable staff. Thank you!

Tried to get Chris Jones at this firm to give me some answers... He wouldnt answer the questions without a retainer... Perfectly fine with that... So I asked some questions pertaining to his honesty and integrity, making sure that I would get adequate competent representation, and he declined to answer those questions... The specific questions I asked Chris Jones, at this firm, that has yet to be answered are: Who is your first duty to, should I retain you? Corpus Juris Secundum (C.J.S.) legal encyclopedia, volume 7, section 4, His first duty is to the courts and the public, not to the client, and wherever the duties to his client conflict with those he as an officer of the court in the administration of justice, the former must yield to the latter. Am I considered a "ward of the court"? According to Section 2 in said Section 7, We find that clients are “wards of the court:” Clients are also called "wards of the court" in regard to their relationship with their attorneys. What is a ward of the court? According to a court case, “wards of court” are infants and persons of unsound mind Wards of court. Infants and persons of unsound mind placed by the court under the care of a guardian. Davis' Committee v Loney, 290 Ky. 644, 162 S.W. 2d 189, 190. Their rights must be guarded jealously. Montgomery v. Erie R. Co., C.C.A.N.J., 97 F.2d 289, 292. See Guardianship. Am I now, or will I ever be considered "of unsound mind" at any time, whether I retain you or not? If they can't answer some simple questions to determine whether or not you will get adequate, competent representation, and get some honest answers to make the decision whether you are going to retain them or not, it is best to run away screaming for the hills... I would be VERY WARY of approaching this fellow, or this firm, with your business... Best of luck, God bless...

I needed to update my will. They were beyond thorough, really taking the time to insure my plan was what I needed. I will forever be grateful for their work.

I really hesitate to ever post a negative review, but haven't had the greatest experience with a probate case with this law firm. I was quoted 4 k, and it ended up being 8k even after I expressed concerns (they cut out some attorney fees). I wasn't notified of an important court date because the paralegal was sick/out...extending probate 2 to 3 weeks more unecessarily. Finally, when my real estate agent was preparing documents for the sale of a property, the title company informed us that title wasn't prepared correctly by the firm. I'm not sure if I was just "too little" of a fish for the firm? Unfortunately, I didn't feel that they cared about the case and important details were overlooked. For a person going through probate (not ideal for anyone), you want a lawyer who cares about your case and is on top of dates and details...sadly this wasn't my experience.

David is extremely knowledgeable, thorough and especially thoughtful. I would highly recommend his services to anyone.

After we had our first child, we wanted to make sure we planned for his physical and financial well-being, should anything ever happen to us. Through their Estate Planning services, York Howell provided us with the peace of mind we needed. The process was simple, yet extremely thorough. We would absolutely recommend York Howell! -Todd Noall, President/CEO Fusion 360
