Amazing Lawyer

I am a first time offender who was charged with a DWI and needed a lawyer to defend my case. Jason Howard was the lawyer I chose for my case and I’m happy I did. From the beginning Jason was very informative how things could possibly go. Gave me and my family the assurance everything would be ok, and... to pray. Jason knew what would be expected and advise me of the steps to take to help my case. I did everything that was asked, when my case came up it was a big help. Jason kept in contact with me throughout the whole ordeal and gave me reassurance. By me doing the task, things were looking good. Instead of me doing jail time I was able to do labor detail which allowed me to keep my job and stay with my family. Jason actually helps you to the very end,I couldn’t have gone through this without him. I would recommend Jason Howard to anyone. Thank you Jason for everything you’ve done.

Jason was wonderful to work with ... he was very professional ,honest , straight forward and kept us abreast of what was going to happen all along the way. He talked to my child like she was an adult and treated her just like she was his own... his staff was very professional, courteous and non judg...emental... to me or my daughter .. I would recommend them to anyone who wants a good lawyer!!

Don't look anywhere else

Mr. Howard was absolutely the best attorney I could have hired. He was always straight forward, honest, never over promised, and complete realist. He exceeded my expectations in every way. Not only was his legal consult amazing, within the first visit he broke down the law and set up a plan of action.... He was very responsive to my emails, calls, and texts as I was out of the state coordinating with him. Finally he exhausted every thing he could to gain me the outcome I was aiming for. He made me believe in the system. Moreover, Mr. Howard was very understanding with my financial situation and helped me save money where I could. I could not be happier with the choice I made hiring him.

Experienced, Honest and Reliable Lawyer for my first time in trouble - DWI

Selecting Jason to represent me was the best decision I have made. I was arrested for DWI on Christmas 2016. I immediately researched and received recommendations on lawyers for these types of cases. At my first consultation, I was incredibly nervous. I have never been in any trouble and was not sure... what to expect. In the first meeting, Jason was very thorough and soothing about the expectations and process. I sensed a genuine concern for my case and what was to come for myself. I felt he shared more than what others may have which made me comfortable. I did a bit more research and after learning of his experience, and reputation, I decided to hire Jason. He quickly followed up with our plan for the particulars in my case, and advised me on my next steps for a better representation to the judge. He was also readily available after normal business hours via text, phone or email. Again, since this was my first time, I had questions everyday on different concerns and Jason was prompt to reply and always had a response that put me at ease. He is definitely very patient! He does not sugar coat and wants the best for you and ensures you know exactly what you need to have a better outcome. He was able to negotiate a shorter probation term, a lesser charge of my misdemeanor, and when the time came, received approval from the judge of my pro forma request. I am incredibly grateful to have had a lawyer who really cares, will take time to explain exactly all details, and work on your behalf to have the optimal outcome. I have told Jason this - I am incredibly grateful to have had him as my lawyer and advocate during this time. It has definitely opened my eyes in more than a few ways (def all for the better!). I don't know that I would have survived without his hard work and, more importantly, his compassion towards my case. I hope to never need these services again, however he was excellent through my tribulation.
