Law Firm Overview

At Howard, Lewis & Petersen, located in Provo, Utah, our representation is based on our commitment to justice and to bettering the lives of our clients. This philosophy has been at the heart of our firm since it was founded in 1950. As our stature has grown, the tools we use to help our clients have become more refined. We now network with lawyers from all over the United States in pursuing remedies for our clients in matters involving personal injury, products liability/defective products, family law and real estate law.

We believe that one of our most important roles is to educate our clients about their rights under the law. We work with our clients as partners, advising them of their options and providing them the benefit of our many years of experience. We help our clients to make the decisions that are in their best legal interests. We then use our skill and resources to assure that they receive all the benefits to which they are entitled under the law.

At Howard, Lewis & Petersen, our practice is defined by the quality and character of our 12 attorneys. We are proud of the many ways in which our lawyers honor our profession and serve our communities.

Serious Matters, Serious Attention

Our many years of experience representing clients throughout Utah have taught us that each client, and every situation, is different. We do not rely on a single solution or legal approach in all cases. Rather, we take the time to get to know our clients and understand the reasons that they have come to us for assistance. We then evaluate the issues, explain all options, and provide thoughtful and objective legal advice. Our goal is to help our clients arrive at the decisions that are right for them.

We are skilled negotiators, experienced at finding solutions that are in the interests of our clients without the necessity of litigation. This is particularly true in family law, where we try to find solutions through mediation and collaborative family law, to resolve issues without having to go to trial. Where out-of-court settlement cannot be reached, however, we are aggressive and effective trial lawyers, and will not hesitate to try a case in court before a jury, using all of our experience and resources to achieve the results that our clients desire. Our proven record of results has made us a respected leader among the law firms in the State of Utah.

Our attorneys and courteous, professional staff are available to answer your questions and meet your needs. All calls are returned promptly returned. We have convenient parking, and, in many cases will provide a no-cost initial consultation, upon completion of our intake form. We will travel throughout Utah to meet with you.
