About R.

I believe the law profession chose me long before I chose it. As a young child I was often told I could argue with a wall. I now have been involved in the legal community for over 20 years. I began my career as a receptionist and worked my way through the industry as a secretary, paralegal, and administrative assistant while obtaining my education at Middle Tennessee State University. I spent 8 years of my legal career serving the Tennessee Judiciary as a Judicial Assistant to two circuit judges. My personal experiences and peer encouragement lead me to further my education by attending the Nashville School of Law all while I continued to work full time. Graduating in 2006, I began to seek the area of law that most suited my personality and conviction. I am committed to serving families in Tennessee as they navigate the temptuous waters of family law. I am committed to doing my best to represent my client's interests without compromising the values for which I hold dear. Honesty, integrity and thorough communication are not compromised in my approach to each case. It is my desire to educate and assist a client in making the best possible decision in their case. Therefore, i often not only attempt to offer my legal advice but the practical advice that will help them make an informed decision as they attempt to better their circumstances in life.

If you need the best attorney in Murfreesboro and surrounding areas I recommend Michelle Howser. I used her services with a family issue. She was highly professional, had deep courtroom experience and she gets her clients results. Our experience with Ms. Howser met all of our hopes and expectations.

Our many thanks to Michelle for the way our adoption case was handled. She was a Godsend to us and we were so happy that this was finally over our only regret was we did not have her from the begining. She made us feel confident this would work out and it did! What a great lawyer!

Michelle Blaylock-Howser has been more than just an attorney for my wife and I. She saw us through some of the worst years of our lives. Michelle always gave us advise on how to handle our situation and make it through while being strong. Her knowledge of the law, her attention to detail, and her willingness to work hard until she's found the best possible resources to represent her clients far exceeded what we could have ever asked for in a lawyer. You should see her performance in the courtroom. It's absolutely amazing and she is always 100% prepared for whatever comes up. This extremely intelligent and talented woman is truly Heaven sent!

I highly recommended Michelle Howser to anyone in need of legal assistance. Mrs. Howser represented me in a messy, long 2 year child custody case. I had no no idea what to expect, she did not hesitate in directing me toward the best interest for my family. Mrs. Howser is professional, manages conflict resolution and problem solving well. She remains calm in tense moments, yet can be aggressive as need be. She is a lawyer you can trust to provide the support and guidance needed no matter what the circumstances may be. She is outstanding in the courtroom and respected by many. My children remain in my custody with my ex actually losing several visitation days. I'm a very happy and content client!!

I would recommend Mrs Howser 100%. She is very caring of her clients and is the very best. I have had the opportunity of being a long term client unfortunately, for the last five years, but the outcome she produced from my trial was the very best a father could ask for. Full legal custody of his son!!!
