Extremely knowledgeable in firearm issue that I had

I hired Mr. Steven Howard to correct an error on my ATF and FBI records. Much to my surprise, he cut through the red tape and corrected my records within 3 weeks. I highly recommend him for any firearms issues you may encounter.

Passionate Advocate and Second Amendment Champion!

Steve has helped me out on my gun issues on several occasions. He is a passionate advocate, highly knowledgeable attorney and gun expert who cares. With respect to the Second Amendment, his support of this right is baked into his core.

Mr Howard

Steve was referred to me by another attorney based on what does the state constitutes as a weapon regarding a PPO. This guy knows the law and is one heck of a guy to talk to for free! He never asked my name or where in Michigan I was from. We have a lot of things in common and chatted for awhile.

A guy I relied on!

I called down the Google list at 3 am and Steve was the first responder. Fifteen hours before we called the police and reported our child kidnapped by my mother in law. The police said before we make a full report try to locate her and get your son back. The officer said use caution. At 10 pm we cal...led back and said they're nowhere to be found and continued the report. The last effort was the officer called my mother in law to bring the child in. She contacted the officer shorty after, about 1 am, and said the child is in danger at home. The officer called us back and said dhs wants to set up am interview before we get our child back. That's when I decided we needed to team with an attorney. Steve answered and calmly listened to our situation. Steve assured me that we will not talk to dhs until he was present even if it was in the moments to come. He was available on notice, even at 4 am. Talking to Steve for more than 30 minutes,for free, we were able to move forward with confidence. At 5 am dhs called us for in interview at the shertifs dept. As instructed by Steve we stated that the only thing we have to say there wasn't an issue in the home until 17 hours after we began a kidnapping report and that we are glad to come down and talk with our attorney and bring our child home. The dhs officer said I'll call your right back i am making a game plan. A few mins later the dhs officer called back and said no need to bring your attorney, come down and get your child. Steve freely gave us a foundation along with a sense of security that we were protected, which is a feeling that is more valuable than the money we were willing to spend.
