About Howard

I've been representing citizens in the Metroplex for thirty-two years.  I've developed many professional relationships throughout this time.  I've worked on cases getting them no-billed, up to completely dismissed.  I've had trials before judges and juries at the state and federal levels.  You name the charge, and I have represented a client with the same, if not very similar, charge.  I am well regarded by colleagues and clients as well in the community.   I enjoy my career and look forward to the next challenge every day.

Review Howard Blackmon

Above and Beyond.........

Posted by

Howard was very personable and seemed to truly have my best interests at heart. He went above and beyond the call of duty even coming and visiting the jail after my sentencing and came to visit me at the jail to make sure everything was ok. There were some complications after my release a year later....and he helped me solve the issue within 1 day.......Thank you is not enough!
