Job Well Done!

I was recommended from a friend to hire Mr Howard. I had a complicated case and it was going to affect my job if I was convicted of this particular charge. I did a lot of research before I actually hired an Attorney. I found Mr. Howard very caring and very respectful to my case. Other Attorneys in A...tlanta seemed hard, and not very attentive. After hiring Mr Howard, he did a great job on my case. Not only did he get the charged dismissed, but I was able to continue working in my profession without being afraid I would be fired. Thank you Mr. Howard.

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.

Posted by Michale | November 24, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Domestic Violence

KEPT HIS WORD! DID A GREAT JOB

I contacted Mr Howard last year on a 2 charges regarding Domestic Violence. One was a Felony, the other a Misdemeanor. The State initially wanted 10 years in Prison for the Felony. Mr. Howard guided me through a long process of court appearances and waiting out the State. He knew exactly what the AD...A was going to do, and how they were going to do it. At the end, Bryan Howard was prepared to go to trial. The State offered up a plea bargain and dropped the Felony charge. He got the fines dropped, and probation on the misdemeanor charge cut in half.

Fantastic lawyer

Mr. Howard kept me well informed on my case. He fought hard for me and got the charges taken care of efficiently. He could have returned my calls faster but overall he did an excellent job.
