Michael G Howard

Michael Howard was born and raised in the Chicago area.  In 1998, Michael received his bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Washington and then attended law school at DePaul University in Chicago, where he graduated with honors in 2001.  Michael worked for over seventeen years as an attorney in Seattle, representing individuals and commercial entities in civil litigation matters, including claims as varied as wrongful death, breach of contract, product defect, workplace injuries, employment discrimination/harassment, and insurance bad faith.  As a litigator, he negotiated approximately 100 settlements, arbitrated dozens of cases, and conducted multiple jury trials in state and federal courts with consistently favorable outcomes for his clients. 

Notwithstanding the success Michael found as an attorney, he always aspired to do something professionally that would allow him to make a real, lasting impact in his community.  That opportunity came when the founder of First Choice In-Home Care offered him the chance to succeed him as its Executive Director.  Michael could not be prouder to be part of First Choice’s continued growth as a leading provider of personalized, in-home care services.
