The Best Out There; Highly Recommend!

I received a speeding ticket in CT for going over 85 in a 65 zone. I was extremely nervous because this was my first ticket ever and I was afraid that I would ruin my perfect driving record. I did major vetting of potential attorneys, consulting over 6 different firms and ultimately I chose Donald H...oward to represent my case; I'm very happy with my choice. Donald was extremely courteous, knowledgeable, and professional. He specializes in traffic offenses and his deep level of experience is evident in each interaction. He walked me through all aspects of the process and I knew that I could trust that I was in good hands. Throughout the case, he maintained contact with me, consulted me on my options and ultimately fought the case on my behalf. I am so grateful that the results came out much better than it would have if I would have handled it myself. It also helped that he could represent me in court since I am from NY and appearing in court would be difficult and inconvenient. Donald goes out of his way to make sure all bases are covered and you feel that you are making the right decisions. Overall, great service, affordable, highest level of professionalism, honest and effective. I hope I never get another speeding ticket again, but if I do, I know that I would come back to Donald Howard in a heartbeat.

Reckless Driving

Let me first say that what I did was inexcusable. I know what I did was wrong and I should be punished for it. I had never been summoned to court, yet alone given a ticket. Don explained to me in a professional matter what charges I am most likely to face. At the courthouse, he spoke to the prosecuto...r and immediately got the charge reduced. I only had to pay a small fine! Extremely grateful that Don knows what he's doing when it comes to traffic defense. I absolutely recommend him. Underrated guy who deserves more recognition.

Speeding ticket

I was referred to Mr. Howard by another attorney. With one phone call, Mr. Howard clearly provided all options regarding my speeding ticket. He was able to make a very favorable deal on my behalf. I highly recommend Mr. Howard for representation.

Great Lawyer!

I had a very positive experience with 844-Pulled-Over. I got a speeding ticket and was nervous, not only about the cost of the ticket, but also about points going on my license. I called Donald and he got my speeding ticket reduced to a charitable contribution, the ticket dismissed AND no points on... my license! Plus, I didn't have to take time off of work to go to court! Donald is professional, knowledgable and great at what he does. I highly recommend Donald and 844-Pulled-Over!

"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."
