I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude and acknowledgement of the extraordinary quality of Howell, Buchan & Strong services, provided to me by De DeFelice and Mrs Stanford which came together with a kindness and attentive care. I couldn’t be happier with the results achieved. Thank you very much! Manoel Galvao Neto

Attorney DeFelice and his team provided exceptional guidance throughout my professional licensing process in Florida as a foreign-trained specialist. They expertly navigated the complex legal requirements, making what could have been an overwhelming experience remarkably smooth. Their thorough understanding of international licensing requirements and attention to detail were invaluable. The team was consistently professional, responsive, and genuinely committed to helping me achieve my goal. Thanks to their expertise and dedication, I successfully obtained my Florida license. I highly recommend their services to any foreign-trained professionals seeking licensing in Florida.

I highly recommend Howell, Buchan & Strong law firm. The staff members are very professional and knowledgeable. ❤️💯

This law firm has done an amazing job with case. I can say without exaggeration, that had it not been for the work and effort of Mr. Defelice and Mr. Adams, I would not have the career I have today. From the first day of my case, they have consulted with the right people to get my paperwork done in a timely and very efficient manner. Mr. Adams and Mr. Defelice have kept me up to date on all the information connected to my case as well as helpful tips to accomplish what I needed to get done. In the past I have met other lawyers, however this law firm displayed a capacity of professionalism that should be ranked more than five stars. I would highly recommend this law firm to anyone looking for a lawyer.

I dont know where to begin they have helped me a lot during this process, which isn't easy.. They acted promptly, accordingly, amd always kept in contact with me. Also they were very understanding with family issues i had, even though it has nothing to do with my exemption. As a result I have obtained my exemption and can go back to work. I highly recommend this law firm!

I had an issue that I was very stressed about and Liane Labouef was able to help ease my mind and calm my anxiety by letting me know that legally I have nothing to worry about. Thank you again!

This was my first time using this firm for my legal needs. Mr. Howell was very courteous and very knowledgeable of our situation. He kept us updated on progress throughout the process. Mr. Howell was successful in getting us the results we had hoped for. I would highly recommend this firm for your legal needs.

I called for a consultation and was given a quick response and an appointment time within the same week. Liane spent a lot of time giving me peace of mind and was very knowledgeable on the topic discussed. I am grateful and would highly recommend their services!

Liane is AMAZING!!!! She was compassionate, intelligent, and went well beyond to make sure to everything within the legal system to help me. I’m forever grateful - 6 stars!!!

Son muy profesionales y dan respuestas a todas tus dudas de echo me ayudaron en algo que tenía pendiente hace mucho

This firm assisted me through a very complicated process as a Behavioral Healthcare Professional. I found that they simplified things and made an overwhelming process simple. I got great results and would recommend them to anyone.

Navigating the state health care licensing system can be difficult, and sometimes downright counterintuitive. For three years, Rick Strong and the Howell, Buchan & Strong team have been my go-to attorneys for all things related to AHCA licensing. Their knowledge and experience made things easier, and being readily available for random matters that arose gave us peace of mind when needed. I highly recommend Howell, Buchan & Strong, and particularly Rick Strong for any Florida health care licensing needs.

I was impressed with Liane and her team’s knowledge, guidance and communication. I really felt that it was a priority for her to get my application approved. What can a be a long, painstaking process was made quick and easy due to Liane’s efforts! Thank you!!

Many thanks to Liane LaBouef for the great work. The work was done smoothly and complete. Every detail and possibility was discussed. Although I was told by another attorney to withdraw my application, the work was completed by this firm and I received my license.

Although she doesn’t handle my type of issue, Liane LaBouef, Esq. Quietly listened to my problems and then referred me to someone that could help me. She made me feel I was heard and my problems were important. Rachel chu, Tampa, Florida

HB&S has a great staff! Everyone was very knowledgeable as well as friendly! Great place.

I want to share my great experience with Jeff Howell as my attorney. Everyone’s situation and case is different but for me, he was always professional, supportive, listened , advised and really cared. I believe he truly wants the best for his clients, as he did me. I appreciate ALL he has done for me. I highly recommend his services as an attorney.

JEFFREY S. HOWELL, PA. and attorney Tom Buchan in the Sarasota office has helped out health care workers who need exemptions from background disqualification by AHCA or DCF. If you get a letter indicating you are disqualified Tom knows the process.

I am a Registered Nurse in South Florida and I was represented by Mr. Kevin Taylor with The Law Offices of Jeffrey Howell for the DOH/AHCA exemption process. I was very pleased with the process from start to finish. I was easily able to contact Kevin whenever I had questions and he was always quick to respond. We worked together on packaging my exemption application and I was extremely happy with how it was professionally presented to the board. He expedited the submission and with his close contacts within the agency, I was cleared extremely quickly. If I were to have gone at it alone, attempting to deal with the bureaucracy of the agency, I may still be waiting. Retaining the office was well worth it as I am now free to practice without further issues.

Strongly recommend Attorney Rick Strong. Attorney Strong represented me in a real estate matter. From day one, he handled my business matter in an expeditious fashion. I honestly do not have a negative thing to say. It was reassuring to know that I had an attorney whom takes a great deal of pride in his profession and being a good person. Myself along with my family can't say Thank You enough for the peace of mind you brought to a frustrating situation. Once again, Thank you for your hard work in helping me and God Bless You!!

I called and spoke with attorney Rick Strong during a very tumultuous time for me. He was open and honest in discussing my case and provided more information during my first consult phone conversation than I ever hoped to expect. I was very pleased and felt confident moving forward after meeting with him and formulating an action plan. I cannot recommend him more highly.

Excellent experience! This firm has fast and effective communication and always professional! I would recommend to anybody in need of their specialized services! Whatever your needs, I am sure they can handle your situation!

Strongly recommend Attorney Rick Strong. Attorney Strong represented me on Change of Ownership. I could not be more pleased. Without Rick my Agency doors would be shut. His knowledge of AHCA, its inter workings and the law lead to a favorably decision. Rick was diligent from day one. He never wavered in his commitment to me and case. Rick is amazing man and lawyer!

Attorney Rickey Strong and his firm recently represented me in a matter involving my professional license and ACHA. I found them to be very knowledgeable on issues, policies, and procedures related to professional licensure in Florida. From our first conversation to our final handshake, Rickey and his team were extremely professional and made themselves available to me. The process of dealing with the board and different licensing agencies can be stressful, I have no doubt that if you are dealing with these issues, Rickey and his team will help take some of that stress off. I highly recommend if you have questions or issues related to your professional licensure in Florida, that you give him a call.

From start to finish Attorney Ricky Strong and this firm have been knowledgeable, patient, courteous and professional in their approach to handling everything. I would highly recommend this firm for anyone seeking representation, especially if they are looking for a firm that cares about their clients.

Jeff assisted me with a false claim against my Nursing License. He is knowledgeable of Fl. Board of Nursing complaint processes and helped me protect and defend my right to practice. I highly recommend him to other Nurses.

Most attorney see that we are desperated for help and take advantage of that. Thank you so much for helping me and saying the truth as had bad experience with attorney before. Really appreciate
