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.

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!

Highly Recommended this his Attorney

I had a failure-to-report-accident (misdemeanor) charge. I was so worried and concerned when I got the court order. I first consulted with him and later retained him. His fees are reasonable. He successfully got my case dismissed and got my life back to normal. As a dedicated attorney, Steve is ver...y dependable and tried his best to get the desired results for you. I highly recommend him.

  • 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.
