I was referred to Mr. Ross by another attorney I know in Greensboro. I left a message for him to call me. He returned the call within TWO HOURS, he listened patiently and was extremely polite and empathetic. I needed information to see if I immediately needed an attorney and he could have taken advantage of my fear. Instead he was calm reassuring and told me wait until things developed and call him back. He gave me some advice in the interim as well. He was a total gentleman, already I highly recommend him and feel sure he will be a great attorney

I hired Howard to represent me in a traffic case in Durham County. The initial charge was G.S. 20-141(j1), and we were able to enter a plea of responsible to G.S. 20-123.2 (improper equipment) with no required conditions. This is the best possible outcome for a speeding ticket in NC, as it is a non-moving infraction that has no insurance impact, no points, and no per-policy limits or out-of-state issues like a PJC.
Howard was able to effectively present my case, clean driving record, and letter to the court to the DA's office to obtain this plea deal. It is essential to have a lawyer who knows the local DAs and is willing to put in the time to continue the case to a date with the most favorable DA/district judge. Howard was able to obtain an improper equipment in my case even though it was outside of the usual guidelines for this county, and without a requirement of traffic school. Despite staffing changes in the DA's office, Howard was able to adapt and get a strong deal even with a brand new DA.
Howard appeared around four times in court all for a flat fee that was about equal to the cost of the ticket. It took about five months in total to resolve the case, and I did not have to appear in court at all. Most speeding tickets are going to cost $250-350 in fines/costs. The question is what will happen to your driving record and insurance rates. That is where paying Howard a few hundred dollars is well worth it. Defense lawyers know the DAs and they have a professional rapport with them. I thought about going to court myself, but even though I had a good idea of the laws, I wouldn't have known the people and procedures to expect in this county. Howard knows exactly what to expect and how to best present the case to the DAs.
Howard never routes calls or texts to a secretary--some of the lawyers I contacted, and many that sent advertisements in the mail, did not even let you talk to a lawyer before hiring them. Howard gave a lengthy phone consultation at no charge and was in no hurry. Howard will ask to see your citation and driving record before giving a flat fee quote for the case. If available for your case, you'll also have to fill out a waiver of appearance form if you do not want to appear in court each time yourself.
I actually found Howard by chance by looking at the bar directory, and he was a bit surprised as he does not do any advertising. If you've come across this listing I would definitely recommend giving him a call. I think it's best to call a few different lawyers as I did, and choose who you feel most comfortable trusting your case with. Cross out anyone who doesn't give a real consultation or pushes you to decide right away. Whatever you decide to do, Howard will give you a consultation and put you at ease regarding your case. As a local college student, Howard provided a service that was affordable to me and well worth the money.

Howard was very professional and provided me with legal assistance for a traffic violation. I appreciated the fact that he always responded promptly and explained my options in handling my case. I truly believe his experience and understanding helped me gain a favorable outcome with my case. If anything comes up in the future where I need representation, he will be first on my list, without question.

My family has known and has worked with Howard K Ross for the past 25 years. I can’t even imagine having a better attorney at our side. Mr. Ross has helped us through a number of legal challenges. We have never experienced anything but responsiveness, professionalism, respect and solid legal counsel. He is thorough and tireless. He is reassuring while also straight forward. One of the many things I most appreciate is knowing I can call Howard for any issue with which I have questions. I trust his opinions and advice implicitly. If you want a trusted, knowledgeable, professional, compassionate and kind attorney by your side (and who doesn’t?), call Howard K Ross. Thank you, Howard. You are a true blessing to our family.

Howard K Ross is easily one of the best, kindest, and most helpful attorneys in the Triangle. He has represented me in court before and was invaluable in his ability not just to represent me, but also in his ability to explain everything to me in a way that was simple to understand, and to make the process as quick and easy as possible. He has years of experience in many different areas pertaining to law, and it shows. He keeps it straight with you and is never annoyed with any questions you may have for him. Personally I would ignore any negative reviews here, as they completely contradict all of the experiences that I have had with him over a number of years. I cannot recommend him enough!

Hired Howard though some recommendations for a speeding ticket. Howard was professional and went over my options and explained them thoroughly. During my speed demon rampage and onslaught of tickets moving forward, Howard has been with my side and each time made sure that the most favorable outcome happened. I cannot speak highly enough of Howard, and consider him family as he goes above and beyond and makes me feel more than just a client but as a friend he truly wants to take care of.

Howard is a great lawyer. Over the past 5 years I have used more than 5 lawyers in order to receive my license back from the DMV. I Hired Howard in 2020. He was fast, responsive and very intelligent and aggressive. He makes a plan, tells you what he needs from you and he executes it on point. A true professional 👏
