Mitchell Howie represents individuals and small business owners in legal matters from corporate organization to dissolution. As a full service law firm legal business services range from determining what type of organization whether it be partnership, incorporation or a limited liability corporaation. Individual legal services range from adoption and divorce to estate planning and probating a will. The firm believes that a successful business or personal financial plan requires legal expertise in multiple areas. Mitchell Howie successfully protected a minority shareholders rights in "squeeze-out merger" in Ex Parte Baron Services, Inc. 874 So. 2d 5445 ( Ala. 2003) In that case the Alabama Supreme Court disallowed the use of a minority shareholder discount in valuing the shareholders stock.
In representing injured individuals the law firm has successfully litigated or settled hundreds of personl injury cases with an emphasis on automobile accidents and uninsured motorists. Because the loss of employment due to injury often causes financial hardship the firm is licensed to practice in the Federal Bankruptcy Courts in Alabama.
In the area of family law the firm has attempted to obtain a fair and equitable division of marital property and the payment of child support based upon Alabama law. In Stewart v. Stewart 771 So. 2d 484 the Ala. Court of Civil Appeals overturned the Madison County Circuit Court requiring that there be a good reason for variation from judicial guidelines of child support awards.
