Howard and his team punch well above their weight because of their excellent experience, unflappable demeanor, and practical solutions.

We consider ourselves incredibly lucky to have found Howard in our startup journey. Howard is a very thorough and extremely competent professional who always has our company’s best interest in mind. He never misses an email, a message or a call and has truly become a key part of our business and we owe a debt of gratitude to him and his team and his service.

The consummate professional, with a sharp legal mind, Howard has been a tremendous advisor and confidant to the success of our company’s (Global Medical and Imaging Centers) efforts to give back to my home country of Ghana (Africa). Great guy!!

Howard is an experienced attorney with high enthusiasm and deep care for his clients. He played an important role in our startup; especially in navigating our very crucial early deals and negotiations. He is always available, very dependable and quickly becomes part of the team. It would have been very difficult to navigate the early challenges without Howard’s guidance and help. I highly recommend him to any startup.

Howard is very knowledgeable and really on your side. He and his firm are willing to dive deep and work with your company, even when you have non-standard situations. As the founder of two unusual startup companies, it has been a pleasure working with him so far, and I plan to continue doing much bigger things together in the future!

Howard is the consummate professional. I have worked with Howard, on many different projects, for the better part of the past two decades. Howard has exceptional legal knowledge, great common sense and a unique ability to make complex issues understandable. His ethics are above reproach, and he is genuinely trying to do good in the world. Howard’s head and heart are in the right places.

I have worked with Howard multiple times over the years on funding vehicles and transactions, it’s always been a great experience. He is the rare lawyer that will tell you when something isn’t worth doing or when he doesn’t agree with the business logic. Howard is a great resource for startups in the financial inclusion space.

Howard has been a tremendous asset to our company, helping us navigate various challenges from contracts to regulatory matters and preparing for investment. He is down-to-earth, reliable, and brings a great deal of expertise to the table. A true professional!

Howard has been a consistent source of support, good humor, creativity and critical thinking to First Access. Tackling new frontiers in microfinance and mobile use is a complex game and I feel lucky to have Howard as a professional ally and personal friend. He has a deep knowledge of nearly every dimension of the microfinance sector, as well as enough personal experience with emerging markets to recognize risks and opportunities that others would overlook. He has proven himself to be a thought leader in microfinance and we are proud to work with him.

I have known and worked with Howard for almost 20 years. He is always my first call when I need legal counsel. He is smart, has terrific experience and a strong track record of business-oriented legal solutions. In working with him on multiple transactions I have found him to be a great team player, creative problem solver, detail oriented and he is always thinking two-steps ahead.
