Got me a better deal!!!

Bryan is a great lawyer. He got me a better deal than I thought I would get. He was also willing to fight if we didn't receive a decent deal. He knows the system very well and explained everything, down to the little details, to me. He continues to represent me and answer any questions I might have.

I couldn't ask for a better Attorney

If it weren't for Bryan and his firm I would be in jail right now. They worked very hard on my case and always let me know what was going on and what I should expect on each court date. They took a lot of the stress I was feeling about the situation and turned it into trust for them. Now I don't trus...t many people but Bryan made it very easy to realize that he did care about the outcome of my case and that he was going to get me the best deal he could and he did. Bryan also made me realize how stupid I was for getting behind the wheel on the night of the incident. So I thank him for giving me a good deal and also for helping me to realize just how serious drinking and driving can be. Thanks again.

More than 5 star rating!

Accused and arrested for DUI #2 and refusal to submit to breathalyzer. Mr. Howard was recommended to me by friends and several other attorneys who specialize in DUI/Criminal law. Bryan handled my DMV Hearing and because of his assertiveness, extensive knowledge and experience with this area of law, a...nd his ability to set the tone and take control - the DMV gave me my license back! Bryan is Non-judgmental and down to earth - truly understands that bad things happen to good people and takes almost a personal responsibility and sense of pride in representing you and your case - be it a big case or little case. More than 5 star rating! Howard will be representing me in the criminal trial as well.

Suspended License

Recently got into some trouble for having a suspended license and some other nonsense. Basically got pulled over one morning on my way to work apparently my license was suspended for not having payed some tickets. The officer took my license and gave me a whole bunch of other tickets. The suspended l...icense ticket said "knowingly" and it was for a misdemeanor. The officer could have arrested me but he felt bad because i was taking my dad to work , "he didn't want to arrest me in front of my dad". After I left the scene I was calling all morning looking for an attorney getting quotes and what not. I was freaking out about not having a physical license and how I was going to get to and from work. I had never been in trouble like this I had no idea what I was doing or how to go about this situation but I knew I wasn't about to get took en advantage of. I walked into Howard Law Group explained to Bryan my situation and literally got my license cleared the next day. The staff made me feel comfortable and secure. I definitely have NO complaints and will most definitely would recommend Bryan Howard To anyone in a jam

Strongly Recommend

As a first year college student who had never been in trouble before and being at the wrong place at the wrong time and arrested for Drugs charges it was an extremely stressful experience. Luckily, Bryan Howard helped me through it. Although I did not know much legal terminology he made sure to expla...in everything that was going on and put things into plain English for me. He was great about keeping me updated on developments in my case, and replied rapidly whenever I had a question. Bryan is also a very good support system and enough to make one feel comfortable speaking about ones case. He makes sure to explore as many options as possible, which makes it clear that he puts forth much time and effort and always pushes for the best possible outcome. I felt at ease knowing that Bryan was defending me and I knew he was working as hard as possible. I would highly recommend him to anyone having the misfortune to end up in the criminal justice system.When you are facing difficult challenges you need knowledge and experience on your side and Mr. Howard is exactly that, and it shows in the courtroom. His confidence is well earned and exactly what you want fighting for you. I could not have asked for a better Attorney or a better man to stand by my side in court. Especially when we heard "Not Guilty on all counts."
