Michael Lai Howard

Mike is a breath of fresh air in the very crowded space of criminal attorneys. I found Mike through an internet search when I was looking to have a couple of criminal cases non-disclosed. I liked what I saw on his website so I gave him a shot. Unlike other law firms I've dealt with, I spoke to M...ike, not an associate. He gave me his undivided attention, and then took time to explain how the process would work. I decided to hire Mike to represent me in this matter. The process unfolded exactly as Mike described. One of the cases met with initial prosecutor objection and Mike worked through it drawing on his considerable experience and relationships in Dallas County. Ultimately, both cases were non-disclosed, resulting in a 100% positive outcome for me. Why is Mike a breath of fresh air? He's accessible, and while I'm sure he's as busy as the next person, never made me feel like he was in a hurry, he's personable, genuine, clearly cares about a positive outcome for his clients, and has a tremendous amount of very valuable experience and relationships. I believe prosecutors respect Mike for these reasons and are willing to work with him, perhaps, more than others, to resolve cases. If you need a criminal defense attorney I think Mike should be your first call. I have no doubt you will get expert legal advice from a competent and caring attorney.

Mr. Howard is an outstanding guy. He's an even better attorney! This is a man who has genuine care and concern for his clients. He has helped me so much, and by doing so, helped my family! His team is great, and the app they use to communicate with, is efficient. My experience with Mr Howard and his ...team has been stellar! If you are looking for great representation, this is your guy! Thank you very much Mike, Ben, and David for all you have done to help me navigate to greener pastures in life! Im very grateful! God bless you and the team!

As a court reporter in the State of Texas, I have had lots of interactions with lots of attorneys. When my son needed an attorney, I called Mike Howard, among others, shopping for help with my son's probation violation. After talking with Mike, I knew I didn't need to call anyone else. He was so s...incere and helpful in my consultation. He was hired that day. The work he did for my son was incredible. He was on the ball instantly. He did the unimaginable. He was able to get a bond for my son, which was insane. No one thought my son would get a bond. Then after a couple months of negotiating with the DA, he negotiated my son right back onto probation supervision, instead of jail time. What an amazing attorney! He did such a great job for my son! I spoke with him on the phone consultation, once in person at the time of getting my son's bond and several times via text and email. He was so on top of everything. I brought him a newspaper article, and he scanned it right there in the courthouse and put it in my son's file. Same with the digital copies of some news clips, downloaded and added them to my son's file right then and there. The communication Mike and his team gave to my son and I was unlike any other experience with any other law firm. They have a portal for private communication, and they get back to you so quickly most of the time. Other times, it's within the next business day. Out~fricken~standing! That's what my military judge, Colonel Grammel, at the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) always said when something was done well or above standard. That's what you get with Mike Howard and his caring team. They are way above the standard! Thank you, Mike and Ben and David, from the top to the bottom of my heart! You guys are heros!!

Mike Howard and his team are truly the BEST! He handled my son’s case with professionalism, compassion, and steady guidance during a really difficult time. Thanks to his hard work, my son’s case was dismissed—an outcome that has genuinely been life-changing for him. I did not know where to turn or wh...ich attorneys in Dallas were trustworthy, and I feel incredibly fortunate that we found him. What meant the most was how seen and supported we felt throughout the process. Mike treated my son like a person, not a case number, and that level of care made all the difference. I am forever grateful for everything he and his team did for our family. I can not recommend Mike Howard enough to handle your case. I am not normally a person who leaves reviews, so trust me when I say, he would be a great lawyer for you! FIVE STARS FOR SURE!!!
