Outstanding Attorney

Jason Howard is an outstanding attorney who goes above and beyond for his clients. He is professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and truly cares about achieving the best possible outcome. I highly recommend him to anyone needing exceptional legal representation.

Physician with DWI

I hired Jason to represent me in a first time DWI charge that, if convicted, would have resulted in harm against my medical license and professional career. The facts were weak, but I felt it necessary to hire the best to represent me in this high stakes charge against me. I interviewed multiple ...attorneys. Jason was the first and the last. In between, I found almost all firms persuade you to enter a contract using their best, most well recognized attorney. They then “sub” your case out to a lesser experienced associate or partner attorney. I realize everyone needs to gain experience, but I could not afford to lose this case. Jason handled every aspect of my case (phone calls, email responses, meetings, and court appearances). His fee was middle of the road compared to others I interviewed. There was no less experienced middle man handling my case, which in my opinion deserved every extra penny spent hiring him that could have been “saved” by retaining the cheapest lawyer. He handles his cases in the same manner I do as a physician, and I really appreciated his attention to quality over volume. Jason successfully had my case dismissed without trial or pleading for a lesser charge. Furthermore, my drivers license was not revoked/the judge also dismissed the civil part of this case. In total, all elements of my case were dismissed and I was very pleased I followed my gut instinct by hiring him.

Fantastic lawyer to Guide you

Well, I usually won’t write these, but with my experience with Jason Howard. He was nothing, but amazing during this stressful time that I was going through. From our first meeting, I felt that I had someone in my corner to advise and guide me through the best course and action through all of this. T...o have someone like that is a blessing when you feel lost and concerned what can happen to you. His level head and work through this whole process makes me thankfully to have chosen him to be my advocate. If ever there is someone that you need for this situation, Jason Howard would be the choice.

Highly recommend Jason Howard for a DWI attorney in Denton or Tarrant counties.

I was arrested at 18 for DWI in Denton county at the beginning of COVID and of course had lots of questions, anxiety and confusion about the whole case as well as I didn’t know where to start at all. I almost immediately went online searching for answers and found Mr. Howard’s website and left an inq...uiry. He was the first attorney to get back to me as it was on the weekend and even after hours he called to check in and let me know he would look at the case with me the following day. I hired Mr. Howard that same day as communication was very important to me and it was days before any other attorney in the area got back to me. A lot of other attorneys offices will also outsource your case to someone else in the same firm and Mr. Howard personally took care of mine which was also important to me because I knew I could get answers without having to ask around multiple people. My case took over 18 months to be filed and was resolved just under 24 months. Throughout this entire process Mr. Howard monitored the status of my case, gave me updates, was always there to answer every question I had, and ultimately negotiated to have my charges reduced based on my case details. Mr. Howard is very detailed and knowledgeable and won’t ever leave you in the dark from start to finish. If you are looking for a DWI attorney in Denton/ Tarrant counties I highly recommend hiring or consulting with Mr. Howard to get your case handled or to at least better understand your specific position and your options going about it.

Jason is the best!

Jason expertice and guidance enabled me to receive the best possible outcome. Maybe even a step above the best possible outcome! I made a mistake and turned to Jason after facing a DWI charge. Jason worked with me to understand my options while giving me sage advice and guidance. Jason treated me lik...e a human being who made a mistake. He did an outstanding job! I was relieved to have Jason on my side. Even though this was a first for me, and I am a social drinker, I used this as an opportunity to make changes in my life and just stop drinking entirely so there would never be a second. I highly recommend Jason if you want the best defense available. I would give Jason 12/10 if possible. If you want the best, call Jason.
