About Howard

Effective and aggressive speeding/traffic ticket and DWI attorney. Call me today to get started!

I have been practicing law in Lee's Summit and Eastern Jackson County for thirty three years. I am a former Kansas City Assistant Prosecutor. I practice "people Law" and am willing to actually talk to clients in person or over the phone without going through a paralegal.

Practice areas

OtherCriminal defenseSpeeding and traffic ticketChapter 7 bankruptcyDUI and DWI
  1. DUI and DWI: 30%

    I have worked on these cases from both sides. I was a prosecutor in Kansas City Municipal Court for six years and now represent people charged with these offenses.

    38 years

  2. Chapter 7 bankruptcy: 25%

    My very first client was on a Chapter Seven case more than thirty years ago. Since this time, I have filed hundreds of other cases, helping clients discharge their debts and starting over. I help people through the complicated paperwork and deal directly with clients. I do not hide behind a Para legal.

  3. Speeding and traffic ticket: 20%

    As a former Assistant Prosecutor, I know most of the judges and current prosecutors in the area. This helps in representing my clients to achieve pleas that reduce or eliminate points against you drivers license.

    38 years

  4. Criminal defense: 20%

    Some cases get turned over to the state for prosecution. These are the more serious cases that have bigger effects on a person's life. You need an experienced attorney more than ever in the cases.

    38 years

  1. Chapter 13 bankruptcy: 5%

    Many lawyers do not handle Chapter 13 cases because of all of the paperwork and the complicated nature of getting a plan approved by the court. I do. I have tons of information available for review on my Web cite or by calling me directly.

Review Howard Hoyt

ExcellentService

Posted by

Mr. Hoyt is very personable, he persoanlly answered the phone when I callled. He was very attentive and handled my traffic tickets in a very prompt and efficient manner, he appeared on my behalf and I did not have to go to court. I could not be happier with the service I received, I hope I never require the services of an attorney again but if I do i will definitely be calling upon Mr. Hoyt.

Amazing Service!!

Posted by

Mr. Hoyt helped me through my entire divorce. During the first consultation he explained to me the entire process. He made it understandable. Once I got him the required documents everything went super quick. It was uncontested so I was able to get my ex to sign the papers without an trouble. He was extremely well priced for the level of service I received. I am currently working with him on my finances and he is amazing. Highly recommended!!

I contacted Howard because of a city summons I had been issued. He knew what to do immediately and was very professional throughout the ordeal. He kept me up to date on the case and the outcome was better than I had expected.
