Great attorney

I would highly recommend Mr. Howard, he assisted me in my divorce. Mr. Howard was very knowledgeable, he was a bulldog in Court and I received everything I was entitled to. If I had a question he took his time and answered it for me. I can't say enough good things about Mr. Howard. I would defini...tely use him again and also let anyone I knew who was needing an attorney that they needed to see Mr. Howard.

Bryan Howard did a great job on my Dallas, Ga DUI

Mr. Howard Mr. did a great job handling my DUI case. He went over everything about the case beforehand and explained to me what I should expect. When he talked to the prosecutor the prosecutor was not willing to reduce the charge to reckless driving at first. After Mr. Howard filed some motions the p...rosecutor agreed to reduce the charge. I was impressed with Mr. Howard's professionalism and courtesy when dealing with me. He seemed to be very knowledgeable on the subject of DUI. If charged with DUI in Paulding County or anywhere I would hire Mr. Howard immediately.

Mr. Howard did a great job on my case

Initially I was a little taken aback about how much Mr. Howard's retainer fee was. But after I hired him on my DUI case I was glad I did. He was worth every penny. Hire this lawyer!!

Best Deal Ever!!!!

I have to say that even though I was embarrassed to have to even contact an Attorney for a criminal charge, and meeting with so many was so stressful, and also to my surprise none of them made me feel safe or comfortable enough to pay might I say a ton of money for a misdemeanor charge. So court date... closing in I had heard that there is a law firm that would help me and they are very reasonable priced. I called and made an appointment with Howard Law Group and they were nice enough to work with my schedule. Upon Meeting Mr. Howard he was very nice and seemed to be fairly aware of my situation for as he already had some of his other clients facing the same charge. Amazed Mr. Howard took the time to explain my case to me and sitting through the consultation he also had me feeling safe enough to hire him on my case. BEST DECISION EVER I was told to relax and he would take care of every thing. The staff was very quick to keep me informed on court dates,and answered any and all my questions.... the day we went to court he said have a sit I was scared to death!!! I stand with Mr. Howard in the hall and he says sign this you and give it to the solicitors office, totally confused I signed trusting him and took it where I was told... Still nervous I looked down only to see that Mr. Bryan Howard had done exactly as promised, I received the best deal possible. DISMISSAL he had to of been my favorite person in the world that day and has since helped me with civil cases and given me advise. If your looking for a straight forward and someone who wont back down and settle for nothing Bryan Howard is the first call I would make!!!! Thank you Howard Law Group ( Bryan Howard) You are great I recommend you to every one I know because with you I know from experience they will get the best representation ever.
