Shoplifting

Mr Howard was a GREAT attorney!! He delivered exactly what he promised! I couldn't have ask for a better attorney! I had so much to loose with this case! I am a single mother with 3 children one who just graduated and started collage this year, one who is a Jr in high school, and a 2yr old. He went f...ar and beyond for me, and I couldn't be more thankful! Very knowledgeable and we'll respected by the court system. You can't go wrong with him!!

This is a great Law Group

He explained to me what would happen he was honest with me and very helpful he told me it would take about three months for my divorce to be final and he was right.

Zealous Representation

Mr. Howard is an aggressive, but smart litigator. He is quick to spot the issues and will work diligently to represent your best interests.

No BS

Bryan is the most honest and knowledgeable attorney in metro Atlanta bar none. I had a recent drug charge where the search was questionable, Bryan saw thru all the fear tactics that the DA used trying to get me to plea out to an extensive amount of probation plus some prison time. With my past record... hireing Mr Howard was a Godsend. Not only did he get a vehicle that was siezed returned i walked away with no prison time and probation only. If not for his expertise i was truely screwed. He's the man!

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.
