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.

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

I couldn't ask for a better Attorney

I was very nervous since this was the first time I had ever been in this situation. He presented me with a few different options and helped me to select the best one for me. I was facing a possession and paraphernalia charge as a result of a traffic stop. Attorney Bryan Howard was successfully able t...o resolve this matter and obtain a dismissal for the possession and paraphernalia charges, leaving only a registration violation. I couldn't be happier with the outcome. He was very professional, knowledgeable, respectful, understanding, and compassionate. What he accomplished for me was nothing short of a miracle. I consider myself very lucky and would only recommend Mr. Howard to anyone who may be in need of a great attorney.
