Derek James Howell

I highly recommend Derek Howell to represent you if you are in need of an excellent, kind, compassionate attorney for traffic-related violations. We hired him to handle my son's DWI/DUI case and couldn't have hoped for a better outcome. The charges were quite serious but my son followed all of Mr. Ho...well's advice and not only ended up with a great outcome in court, but also learned important lessons in the process that helped him realize the seriousness of his mistake and the importance of not driving while under the influence. Mr. Howell has a calm demeanor which helped my son and I maintain peace of mind during a time of great anxiety as we awaited the hearing. He is so easy to speak with, has years of experience, and truly cares about his clients. If you want an attorney who knows the law and how to best represent you with a kind, comforting presence, do not hesitate to hire Derek Howell.

​I hired Derek for my DUI case and just received the best possible outcome in court today, which is a testament to his expertise and guidance. ​Derek was instrumental in preparing my case thoroughly. He was incredibly helpful in guiding me through necessary steps like taking DUI classes, gathering... strong character letters, and attending AA meetings. He patiently answered all of my questions and explained every part of the process very clearly. ​Beyond his legal skill, Derek is truly personable and easy to talk to, making a stressful experience feel much less daunting. He is deeply knowledgeable about the court systems and his extensive experience shone through in the favorable result we achieved. ​If you are facing a DUI and considering legal representation, I highly, highly recommend Derek. He is a true professional who goes above and beyond for his clients.

My name is Eric Brooks. I hired Mr Howell and I could not have been more pleased with his conduct and expertise. I would highly recommend his service to others. Not only is he very professional and has great knowledge of the law and his ability of applying his knowledge for a fair trial for his clien...ts, He's very personable and respectful. I would consider Derek Howell a friend and I could not be more satisfied with the outcome of my case. I would recommend him highly.

I cannot stress enough how much simpler this man made the entire process of handling my case. This was my first DUI and from the start, my mind was put at ease. Derek was direct, honest, and most importantly, available. Given this was my first case I had a lot of questions and he answered them to the... point where my stress about the situation was practically gone. He is a genuine man who only wants the absolute beat for his clients and proves it every step of the way. And probably the most enticing quality of his services: he's affordable for those of use that aren't the most financially established. AND, he has veteran discounts! If you're ever in need of a DUI lawyer I highly encourage you to use this man.

After reviewing multiple criminal lawyers, and doing as much research on law I could handle, I finally took one of my friends recommendation and trusted Derek to fight my case. Due to my profession it was critical I had the right lawyer fighting for me. This is the best move I could have made as De...rek provided me with an outstanding result. He also communicated with me in an understanding manner, Derek put the time into the case and was definitely skilled in his profession. Everyone seemed to know that he wasn’t the run of the mill guy when we walked into court, even the judge. The entire process was handled in a top shelf manner. Regardless of how embarrassed and ashamed I was to be in my situation, Derek did not judge me and actually helped ease my anxiety. Thanks to him I was given a second chance. Thank you for helping me get through a really hard time in my life!
