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!

I had an excellent experince with Attorney Mr Joseph DeFelice and with Ms. Crystal Sandford in pursuing my medical license in Florida. I cannot thank Attorney Joseph DeFelice and Ms. Crystal Sandford enough for their tremendous support in helping me to get my medical license in Florida. From start to finish, they guided me through every step of the process with professionalism, patience, and expertise. They are not only exceptionally knowledgeable and thorough in their work, but also friendly, approachable, and accommodating, making what can be a complex and stressful process much smoother and easier to navigate. I would highly recommend their services to any international or foreign-trained doctors seeking a medical license in Florida. Their guidance, attention to detail, and genuine care make them an invaluable resource for anyone in need of assistance with licensure. Thank you again for all your support—I am incredibly grateful!

I highly recommend Howell, Buchan & Strong for their exceptional legal services. I worked with attorney Joseph DeFelice and paralegal Crystal Sanford , and I couldn't be more satisfied with the outcome of my case. From my initial consultation to the final resolution, the team was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and responsive. Mr. DeFelice clearly explained every step of the process and provided expert guidance, making a complex situation much easier to navigate. Ms Sanford was a vital part of the process, ensuring all documentation was filed correctly and on time, and always keeping me updated with a kind and patient demeanor. Mr DeFelice literally met with me at the hearing’s physical location the night before in order to make me feel more comfortable. The communication was excellent; they were always available to answer my questions and concerns promptly. If you are looking for a dedicated and effective legal team, look no further than Howell , Buchanan and Strong! Thank you, Joseph DeFelice and Crystal Sanford; for your outstanding work!

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.
