****You'll Never Regret Hiriing Mike Howard****

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!!

A Must Hire Attorney

I hired Michael Howard twice. In both cases, I was highly impressed by his professional ethics, timely and thorough communication, and the results he achieved. Mr. Howard will remain saved in my contacts forever, and he will always be my first call should the need arise.

Thank you, Candice! Treating people with respect and maintaining responsive and clear communication are areas of focus for me and my team. It's always good to hear that we're doing well in those areas.

This man truly fought for me

Mr. Howard is my guardian angel. I would not be sitting here today, free, were it not for him. I am on probation out of one of the strictest counties in Texas. It is a zero mistake probation where one violation = prison. I was pulled over for speeding and charged with felony possession after the offi...cer found a THC pen someone had left in my car, along with a pipe and other items. Mr. Howard got my charges dropped before they were even filed. I am the only living parent of my 8 year old daughter, so the stakes could not have been higher. He truly saved us, and I am eternally grateful for the efforts he made in my case. He talked me through everything, and he genuinely fought by my side until the end. I have had experience with many attorneys over the years, but none of them have even come close. Thank you for everything Mr. Howard

Wow, that is high praise. Understanding how important people's cases and good outcomes are to their lives and the lives of their loved ones is incredibly important. It was a pleasure and an honor to be able to help you put this behind you so you can move on with you life.

"Mike is so much more than just a Criminal Defense Attorney and is the ONLY choice for anyone who finds themselves needing one"

Mike Howard is truly a one of a kind individual in his profession. I have had plenty of experiences with many other lawyers before in various areas, but Mike stands out and outshines any other. For most of us the year 2020 in itself was a difficult time. At least for myself I can say it was that and ...so much more! At the beginning of the year I found myself in a terrible situation after I was viciously attacked and nearly killed by my ex-boyfriend. As a result I was rushed to the hospital by paramedics to be cared for. It is when I am getting ready to finally leave the hospital that I am arrested by the police, who never even asked me what happened, for FELONY Assault Family Violence after my ex completely lied to them. A felony charge is very serious and can jeopardize a person's career, education, and family destroying any prospects of the future. When it is your life that matters, you have to hire the best. After days of searching and consulting with countless attorneys who did not rise up to that level is when I met Mike Howard. He immediately went to work and obtained all of the records surrounding my case from the DA and went over them in detail himself, BEFORE my consultation with him! I didn't even hire him yet! This allowed for him to already have in-depth knowledge of my case while he went over everything with me from beginning to end. Mike was so thorough, professional, understanding, detail oriented, and so easy to talk to. With a situation being so traumatic he made sure that I was comfortable and could trust him. He listened to and answered all of my questions throughout to address and concerns I may have. Mike then explained to me the process going forward and how he would implicate the robust defense that he built for me to ensure that this case would be thrown out and never even go to trial. At this point I knew that he would fight for me and my case as if it was his own and hired him. He immediately hit the ground running and aggressively built an ironclad defense. Mike presented a defense so strong that the DA and Prosecutor spent nearly a year trying to build a case before even formally filing the charge. During this time, his absolutely STELLAR assistant Kelsey checked in with me every single week to provided me with updates and to just check in on me even where there wasn't one. Kelsey is so attentive, sweet, and always brightened up my day every time I talked to her! Amongst this I was also served a Protective Order which would be a separate case in a Civil court arising out of this. Even though Mike specializes in Criminal Defense, he agreed to defend me in this Civil case since he knew how intricate my case was and wanted to see through that I got the best there is. Mike went into that hearing and aggressively took control of the narrative, immediately making it clear to the judge that I was innocent who then DISMISSED the Civil case! Not long after this the prosecutor finally filed the felony charge to be presented to a Grand Jury. Mike made sure that he was able to present a defense to the Grand Jury so that they could see the truth in what really happened. Because of this, the Grand Jury No Billed the charge and it was finally over. Mike was able to end this nightmare for me and went on to get an Expunction so that not only could I now move forward and leave this all in my past, but that my future would also be protected. There isn't enough thanks or gratitude in the world that I could extend to both Mike and Kelsey. At a time where I almost had my life taken from me, Mike was there to prevent that from happening and protecting my future. Mike is so much more than just a Criminal Defense Attorney and is the only choice for anyone who finds themselves needing one.

2020 was an extremely difficult and trying time for all of us. I'm glad my team and I were able to make it a little better by getting your case no-billed/dismissed by the grand jury!
