Client Review for Newport Estate Attorney

A Lifelong Client of Jeremy's Left a Personal Testimonial

I have known Jeremy Howe for almost thirty years, and when it came time to write my will and plan my estate, there was no doubt about who my attorney would be. 

Jeremy takes the hassle out of the process of drafting all the necessary paperwork and does it for a very reasonable fee. He has offered advice when he thought it would be beneficial, and has always been there when I had questions about how to handle a specific situation. 

I trust him. ~ John D.
