About Paul
Biography
I am a lawyer, community leader, former elected official, innovative executive, and criminal justice expert. I served the Atlanta community for over two decades as the former Fulton County District Attorney and processed more than 45,000 cases.
I have been serving the underserved and unheard for my entire life. I gained momentum during my six-term and 23-year career as the former Fulton County District Attorney. Through this public service, I developed a track record of dramatically reducing violent crime, transforming the criminal justice system, and preparing our next generation of leadership.
Now, as the founder of The Paul Howard Law Firm. I am dedicated to excellence, fighting for your rights, and making sure your voice is heard.
I know your name and I will fight for you!
