Legal advice without the runaround.

I Called Steven Howard for a question about some legal advice in regards to my situation and he offered me great advice including on who I should contact. He took time out of his day to explain how things work. I definitely would recommend this guy because he cares.

Very informative

I consulted with Mr. Howard about a gun case. He really knows his stuff and is highly recommended. He explained how the law works in the circumstances I was working with and offered great suggestions.

Informative and professional

Steven has proven himself as a competent, professional, and personable attorney. While representing me in a serious misdemeanor case, he always kept me informed of ALL of the necessary information and proceedings right down to court room etiquette and attire. Any questions I ever had about the ca...se, or what was to be expected, he always found the time to inform me, and put my mind at ease in an otherwise rather stressful time. Steven was able to have two of my charges dropped and one reduced. All without any surprises or changes in his fees. I have since consulted Steven on many occasions, and he has always had the time to talk with me, and either offer services or just flat out advised me on the proper actions to handle a situation on my own. I will no doubt hire Steven again in the future, and I HIGHLY recommend him!

Got my case dismissed !!!

He responded quickly to my voice mail, and met me in person. He answered all my questions with great detail. I did not even have to go see a judge; he had my case completely dismissed with in the day. Completely fair in price for what you get.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
