Howard Long got our case dismissed when everyone else we could only hope for a reduced charge!

In this review there is no way I'll be able to express just how grateful we are that we found and hired Howard to represent us in court. He's smart, professional, inquisitive and friendly in a way that puts you at ease. Howard was actually the fourth attorney we called as we were making our way throu...gh the process of finding someone to help us with a very strange situation and charge. The first three attorneys barely listened and immediately gave advice on how they'd go to court to have charges "reduced". Howard actually got our case dismissed! Why? Because he was thorough and did the work required to be able to present the information. He invited us to the office to discuss the case in detail, I'm pretty sure we spent time beyond his office hours. If we ever need an attorney again, Howard will be our FIRST phone call!

Excellent, Professional Service

Mr. Long was very thorough in helping me handle my speeding ticket. He gave clear explanations of the process and what to expect. Also, his communication was excellent and he quickly responded to calls and emails.

Great Lawyer

It was a pleasure working with Attorney Howard Long! He was very personable and easy to talk to. He showed up at court for us so we didn't have to. More importantly, he was able to get my son's ticket completely dismissed without any points on his drivers license! I hope that I never need a lawyer a...gain, but if I do, Howard Long / Browning & Long will be who I hire.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
