Extremely Please, Highly Recommened

I was arrested in Atlanta on a DUI and didn’t really know what I was in for. I started researching attorneys 2 weeks after my arrest. I found out that when I contacted Mr. Howard that I only had 10 days to contest my license suspension and this was day 11. I immediately retained Mr. Howard services a...nd he went to work. He appealed my suspension with the head of legal for driver’s services and stopped my license from being suspended. This was a huge win in itself because otherwise my License would have been suspended for 12 months. Next Mr. Howard was able to convince the arresting officer to remove the suspension of my license in the ALS hearing. Once this was done I was able to go get my license back. I was able to drive my vehicle during this whole process and didn’t spend 1 day with an actual suspension. Finally, Mr. Howard had my DUI reduced to a reckless driving charge. He seemed to know everyone in the court room and worked with them all very well in getting my charges reduced. I am so very glad that I chose the Howard Law Group to represent me and he is worth every penny.

CASE DROPPED

The legal system scares the crap out of me. I was charged with a Commercial DUI. I wasn't even in the truck when the police arrested me and charged me. I was facing my CDL being suspended and jail time. Mr Howard is a powerhouse attorney who got the State to DROP ALL charges against me. I was not dri...ving my truck at the time, and really was innocent of driving while intoxicated. Bryan Howard and his investigator proved to the State I was not even in my Truck let a lone driving in it. I owe the Howard Law Group a huge thank you and am very lucky I hired them.

Awesome Attorney

I was facing a DUI charge in Atlanta and the State was looking to sentence me to jail. Mr Howard got the case completely dismissed and I had to pay no fine.

Excellent Work

I was facing a second DUI, and ended up just paying for a speeding ticket. Mr. Howard was able to get it dismissed. He knows the laws, but more importantly, he knows the judges, prosecutors, and even the police force. He knows how to get you the best outcome for whatever situation you are in. With yo...u every step of the way. I hesitated calling a lawyer because of the cost and embarrassment. There is no way I would have gotten the deal I got on my own. And he never made me feel ashamed. He even stuck around even after my case was settled and gave me some good advice on the way out! Sooo worth it. Good man, and the best (and hopefully last I'll ever need) lawyer out there. Thank you Mr. Howard.

Where do I begin? I was pulled over for DUI . I was a nervous wreck and knew I would get in serious trouble. I started googling lawyers and had three in mind. I called the first two and they didn't seem that interested ...but then I called Bryan and he gave me some options, From the minute I spoke to... him, he began calming me down and as I explained my situation, I felt at ease, almost as if a weight was taken off my shoulders!. I decided to hire him and he went to work right away.
