About Ms. Marianne
Ms. Marianne Howanitz is an attorney who practices law and advises clients on a range of legal matters. She holds a law degree and was admitted to practice law before beginning her professional career. Early training and courtroom exposure helped shape an approach that values clear argument and careful preparation.
Her career has included both courtroom work and advisory roles. She has represented clients in contested matters and also provided counsel on transactional issues. Over time she has balanced litigation and out-of-court resolution, moving between pleading, discovery, negotiation and trial preparation as cases required. Colleagues describe her as methodical in assembling facts and attentive when explaining complex rules to clients.
Much of her work depends on careful legal research and steady case management. She prepares pleadings and motions, manages discovery processes and coordinates with experts where technical issues arise. On any given matter she tends to break problems down into discrete steps, aiming to give clients a clear sense of options and likely outcomes. She also pays attention to deadlines and procedural detail, knowing that those elements often shape the practical path of a case.
Her practice has involved advising individual clients as well as small and mid-size organizations. She handles client intake, identifies core legal issues, and frames strategies that reflect client priorities. When matters proceed toward settlement or trial she prepares witnesses, develops exhibits and outlines the evidentiary record. She also works to keep clients informed through regular updates and plain-language explanations of legal developments.
Outside of active casework she participates in continuing legal education to keep current on statutory and case law changes relevant to her practice. That effort supports courtroom readiness and helps when clients need timely advice on regulatory or compliance questions. She approaches each file on its own terms, combining practical planning with an eye for procedural levers that can affect outcomes.
In 2026 Ms. Howanitz maintains a practice that provides legal counsel and representation to individuals and businesses, handling both contested matters and transactional work.
