Not guilty for homicide allegations I appreciate Howard he got me a second chance at my young life thanks man.

Howard is an excellent attorney. I would hire him for myself or family. He is an excellent theoretical lawyer in that his level of scholarship is very high. He has a wonderful courtroom presence. He is personable and caring but strong as well. He is a great choice.

The best trial lawyer hands down in California , Mr.Williams actively visited me throughout my case and informed on what was going on from point a to point b. He diligently took time even on weekends and his personal time to work on my case rather that was researching or attending legal conferences hosted by other reputable attorneys he was amazing in every aspect. I guarantee this is the attorney you should call on if any legal issue arises, His trial presence and knowledge of law is impeccable, He protects your rights and will get you home . Best Lawyer Out ! -Joel

Howard recently assisted me in the resolution of a legal matter. His dedication to ensuring an optimal outcome in this particular situation was clearly evident. He was generous with his time and helped put my family at ease during an extremely burdensome and challenging time for us. I greatly wish that I had been able to receive his counsel for the entirety of my case instead of solely for the latter components. If anyone that I truly cared about found themselves in an unfortunate dilemma and required aggressive, honest, dedicated legal representation, I would not hesitate in any way to recommend Howard to them knowing they were in good hands. Howard Williams will get you through whatever legal bind you find yourself in. Thank you for your help Howard.

First i want to thank Howard L Williams who is currently my attorney i got lucky and was court appointed him and i now truly believe I must have someone watching out for me because i never have been this lucky. I am beyond satisfied with what the outcome is going to be with my case and i believe it was only made possible due to him. Thank You Howard and i will see you in court towards the end of this month. I have recommended you to several people and still do in fact just finished doing so thats how i stumbled across this page.

I was involved in a DUI/DWI related accident in March of 2015. After my initial hearing and meeting with the Public Defender, it was clear I needed a REAL lawyer and someone who was willing to give my case a thorough review. After searching AVVO, I submitted my case for a free review and was contacted by 3 lawyers. The first two had very similar pitches as to why they should be my lawyer, but didn't give the feeling that they had my best interests at heart. I received a phone call from Howard Williams, and knew within the first 5 minutes that this guy knew what he is talking about, and that he already had several ideas on how to approach my case. As of 11/4/2015, my entire case has been completed from start to finish. I could not have asked for better results, as Howard not only saved me from losing my license, but also saved me thousands of dollars by finding flaws in my case and getting my charges reduced to a "wet reckless" and some other charges dropped. Instead of the court appointed 18 days of work alternative program (instead of jail time), Howard negotiated down to only 5 days needed to be served. Without Howard I feel that things would have been much different, and that I would still be dealing with the headache of this whole ordeal from a poor judgement on my part of driving a vehicle while under the influence. I would recommend Howard to anyone in a similar situation as he is genuine and more than fairly priced for the services he provides. Personally, I feel that I owe him much more than he charged me. And I say this in the best way possible, I hope I never have to use Howard again for his legal services, as I have learned my lesson and never want to be in the situation again!

I'm not proud of this, even though it was more than a year ago now, but I was charged earlier this year with a third-time DUI that had happened 9 months before. The case had never gotten filed by the D.A., and even though I had gone to court when I was told to, the cops came to my house 9 months later and arrested me in the middle of the night. I was told by the cops that I would have to spend 120 days in jail at least because that is the standard 3rd DUI sentence under law. At that point, got a lawyer to handle this case for me, and then checked into rehab. Howard Williams was the lawyer, and I honestly didn't know lawyers like this existed. He had to persuade me to fight the case even when I just wanted to do the jail time and get it over with. He didn't strong-arm me into fighting, but he did get me to trust him and I chose to follow his advice and fight rather than pleading out. Bottom line: NO JAIL TIME! He was able to get me the ankle monitor and a much shorter sentence instead, and I was allowed to still go to work every day. I had served 10 days jail on my SECOND DUI, but NONE on my third! The other more important bottom line: he also recommended I check into rehab because he said it would make his job easier, and I'm happy to report that I'm clean and sober, coming up on a year now.

I hired Howard to handle my DUI case. I didn't have a lot of hope, honestly, since my blood alcohol level was .18. Howard said there were a couple of issues he had to pursue before he could advise me on what to do. He did two different hearings where the cop had to testify and cop finally got angry and gave us some great testimony. All I had to plead to was reckless driving and got to keep my license!

All the lawyers at Lieber Williams were gerat. Howard and Gary did a great job with my case and Jason kept me informed. Howard was the one with the plan and it was carried out perfect. They aren't the absolute cheapest out there but the results were worth the cash. I'd go with Howard again without a doubt

My case was a DUI situation which, for me, was incredibly important because I could not afford to get a DUI conviction otherwise I would lose my job (I need a driver's license and I do a lot of work in Canada, who won't let you across the border with a DUI conviction). Howard outlined a strategy he would follow to maximize my chances of getting the result I needed, and it worked. I honestly don't know everything about how he did it, but I do know I got my charge reduced to a "dry reckless" and didn't lose my license. I'm very grateful.

I had no criminal record prior to this dui and I'm glad I got a reliable and trustworthy attorney like Howard Williams. I had a passenger with me when I totaled my vehicle by crashing into a residential front yard. Luckily, the injuries were not serious. However, the judicial system really tried to make my life difficult by charging me with an injury felony even though the insurance company had proof that no medical claims were made against me. I also had a high alcohol reading that would send me straight to a 9 month dui class program which would ruin my work and study schedule. Luckily Howard was the only lawyer who took my call patiently and drafted a sound battle plan. After 6 months of negotiation, Howard successfully made the court reduce the felony to a misdemeanor by dropping the injury charge. The 9 months dui class was cut down to 3 months and the jail time was replaced with the weekend work program.
