Biography
Jordan D. Howlette established JD Howlette Law, and its civil rights division, Justly Prudent, following a five-year career as a trial attorney in the Tax Division of the United States Department of Justice (DOJ). While at the DOJ, Mr. Howlette successfully litigated dozens of civil tax cases and controversies on behalf of the United States in federal courts around the country, securing millions of dollars in favorable judgments while also advocating for equitable justice. He is intimately familiar with the procedures, strategies, and processes of litigating under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and with resolving multi-faceted disputes involving high-dollar amounts, intricate statutory and regulatory provisions, and diverse parties from different jurisdictions.

In 2019, Mr. Howlette obtained a Master's in Business Administration from American University's Kogod School of Business and subsequently established MyTaxRights—a tax information company dedicated to educating individuals about their federal tax rights and responsibilities.
