Poor communication unfavorable outcomes

I had a single speeding ticket while traveling to see my grandfather who was just put in the emergency room. I got a speeding ticket and found out later that day that he had pancreatic cancer. I shortly lost my grandfather, who was my dad, after this incident. I hired Howard law with high expectation...s. I was met with threats of a higher charge and was sent a mere text message of when to respond, I am SEVERELY DISAPPOINTED 0 stars

Excellent

Attorney Howard is the best lawyer who I have had the pleasure of being a client for. He answers all questions asked over the phone diligently, respectfully, and fully. He is extremely empathetic, professional, and knowledgeable through experience, making sure that everything is covered and that you... get the most fair treatment in court.

PROFESSIONAL, ETHICAL ,EXPERIENCED.

I came to attorney Howard with a hectic traffic violation. He handled the matter quickly with minimal input from my side, my calls and email where answered in a timely. He is well versed in the rule of law and well seasoned in his craft. I defiantly recommend him.

Excellent Attorney

I would highly recommend hiring Attorney Donald Howard for any of your traffic related issues. I received a ticket for texting and I was not texting but got the ticket anyways because the officer thought "she saw a phone in my hand".... This happened right before Covid hit and closed all the courtro...oms for at least a year. (February 2020)...We plead Not Guilty but our case was delayed until yesterday. There was also a huge mess up with the DMV because they were sending many people license suspension notices claiming people didn't show up at court...This was completely false because the courts never received any of the infractions....Thus there was no court or court dates... To make a long story short Donald took care of everything and put my mind at ease. The case was also dismissed. So yes I would highly recommend Donald. Thanks Donald, Mike in Prospect.

Excellent lawyer. He is Exactly the kind of lawyer you need to be on your side.

Mr. Howard was just amazing with helping me throughout my speeding ticket case in CT. He handled my case with such efficiency and always let me know what was going while I was waiting. I’m so grateful for what he did for me, and I would recommend him to anyone in need of help in CT. He is simply jus...t the best, and I find his legal fees to be inexpensive.

"Donald is a highly honorable and greatly effective Attorney. I greatly admire his zealous and tireless pursuit of justice on behalf of his clients. He is a Man who stands for Justice and will fight for a positive outcome on your case. With 25 years of experience in the practice of law I can attest to the high ethical character of Attorney Howard and the amazing results that he has achieved for his clients. Connecticut needs a fighter like Attorney Howard to protect citizens drivers licenses which are all so important in today's society for mobility and getting to work. Often people overlook how important their driving license is until it is under attack. If you are facing a suspension or a serious ticket Attorney Howard is the man you want on your side."
