Excellent in every way
Mr. Brooks represented me on a murder charge. He kept me informed every step of the way, and he kept in touch with my family, too. The charge was negotiated to a manslaughter. I was very happy with Mr. Brooks and the work he did.
Howard S Brooks's Lawyer Endorsements
"I have had the pleasure of working with Mr. Brooks for the past twelve years. He is one of the finest criminal defense attorneys I have met. He has provided me with tremendous guidance over the years; always helping talk through cases and case strategies with me. He has also had a tremendous influence in developing my appellate practice. I am honored to know and endorse Mr. Brooks."
"Having known Howard for the past 20 years and having the privilege of working beside him on cases, I know his skills and level of dedication. I would trust Howard with any criminal trial. He has also one of Nevada's very few preeminent criminal appeals lawyers."
