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

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!

Great Criminal Defence Lawyer

Mr. Blackmon was my son's lawyer and he was Excellent through the whole thing. He helped my son go from 7 yrs. in Federal Prison to two yrs. I can say this is the lawyer you want in a drug case! He knows his stuff.

Avvo Rating

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.
