Howell, Buchan & Strong, Attorneys at Law

I had an excellent experience with this law firm. Joseph V. DeFelice guided me through every step of the process with professionalism and care. Highly recommended!

When I discovered a small hiccup with my licensure, I began calling around for guidance. Mr. Joseph DeFelice returned my call promptly and immediately put me at ease. He was honest and straightforward from the start — he did not sugarcoat the situation. He clearly explained the circumstances and set realistic expectations, which I greatly appreciated. Throughout the entire process, Mr. DeFelice and his paralegal, Crystal, were extremely responsive, organized, and professional. Every question was answered quickly, and communication was consistent and reassuring. When we appeared before the board, Mr. DeFelice handled himself with confidence and expertise. He was prepared, composed, and clearly experienced in that setting. I felt fully supported and well represented. We were successful, and I received my license. I am truly grateful for his guidance and advocacy and would not hesitate to recommend Mr. DeFelice and his team to anyone needing knowledgeable, straightforward legal representation.

Great representation from both John and Elspeth! Great team ! thank you!

4 star only because there could have been more communication, could have cut a lil time with communicating with me to get documents that was needed that I could have gotten faster for them and what I already had. Asked if received documents via email said yes come to find out thay didn't had to mail documents.

I worked with attorney Joseph DeFelice and senior paralegal Crystal Sanford for representation before the Board of Medicine. They were professional, organized, and helped me understand what to expect throughout the process. We had a preparation session by phone about a week before the meeting, and they also met with me in person the day prior, which helped me feel more secure and prepared. Overall, I appreciated their support and guidance during a stressful situation.

Thank you, Mr. DeFelice, and thank you, Crystal, for helping me out. I highly recommend their service.
