This man single handedly save my life!
I was facing a minimum of 25 years for a crime that I did not commit. I was dealing with my case for a period of 5 years prior to Mr. Howard coming into contact and becoming my lawyer. Within ONE YEAR of him handling my case, the proper details were highlighted that proved my innocence and my case was DROPPED. He was able to use his expertise and excellent professionalism to properly bring to light the information that brought my case to a dismissal. He was absolutely fantastic with communication and timeliness. I could not recommend any other defense attorney besides Mr. Howard. I will forever be in his debt for the services that he provide and will be eternal grateful for him.
Thank you so much Mr. Howard for what you did for me!

Mike is excellent at what he does. My case got dismissed all thank to his hard work, dedication and excellence knowledge. The whole process was smooth. I did not even feel much of a stress because I had my full confidence in him. He is a great communicator and debater at court. He is really friendly, detailed and professional with his clients. He always keeps his client ready and well informed. I never felt intimidated in the whole process just because of how professional the way he handled the cases. I can confidently say anyone choose Mike to the representative lawyer. You are definitely in good hands. He is Very responsive, passionate on his work, professional, knowledgeable and super helpful. He has great networking. He helps me in ways more than I can imagine. His service is within reasonable price and actually I got more legal advices than I could ever ask for. He even gives me good legal advices out of his criminal defense field. He is true to what he does unlike some might try manipulate. I think that’s most important— Finding a lawyer who can fight for you in confidence of win and be truth to the client at all time!!! Mike is the BEST!!

Mike Howard is truly a one of a kind individual in his profession. I have had plenty of experiences with many other lawyers before in various areas, but Mike stands out and outshines any other. For most of us the year 2020 in itself was a difficult time. At least for myself I can say it was that and so much more! At the beginning of the year I found myself in a terrible situation after I was viciously attacked and nearly killed by my ex-boyfriend. As a result I was rushed to the hospital by paramedics to be cared for. It is when I am getting ready to finally leave the hospital that I am arrested by the police, who never even asked me what happened, for FELONY Assault Family Violence after my ex completely lied to them. A felony charge is very serious and can jeopardize a person's career, education, and family destroying any prospects of the future. When it is your life that matters, you have to hire the best. After days of searching and consulting with countless attorneys who did not rise up to that level is when I met Mike Howard. He immediately went to work and obtained all of the records surrounding my case from the DA and went over them in detail himself, BEFORE my consultation with him! I didn't even hire him yet! This allowed for him to already have in-depth knowledge of my case while he went over everything with me from beginning to end. Mike was so thorough, professional, understanding, detail oriented, and so easy to talk to. With a situation being so traumatic he made sure that I was comfortable and could trust him. He listened to and answered all of my questions throughout to address and concerns I may have. Mike then explained to me the process going forward and how he would implicate the robust defense that he built for me to ensure that this case would be thrown out and never even go to trial. At this point I knew that he would fight for me and my case as if it was his own and hired him. He immediately hit the ground running and aggressively built an ironclad defense. Mike presented a defense so strong that the DA and Prosecutor spent nearly a year trying to build a case before even formally filing the charge. During this time, his absolutely STELLAR assistant Kelsey checked in with me every single week to provided me with updates and to just check in on me even where there wasn't one. Kelsey is so attentive, sweet, and always brightened up my day every time I talked to her! Amongst this I was also served a Protective Order which would be a separate case in a Civil court arising out of this. Even though Mike specializes in Criminal Defense, he agreed to defend me in this Civil case since he knew how intricate my case was and wanted to see through that I got the best there is. Mike went into that hearing and aggressively took control of the narrative, immediately making it clear to the judge that I was innocent who then DISMISSED the Civil case! Not long after this the prosecutor finally filed the felony charge to be presented to a Grand Jury. Mike made sure that he was able to present a defense to the Grand Jury so that they could see the truth in what really happened. Because of this, the Grand Jury No Billed the charge and it was finally over. Mike was able to end this nightmare for me and went on to get an Expunction so that not only could I now move forward and leave this all in my past, but that my future would also be protected. There isn't enough thanks or gratitude in the world that I could extend to both Mike and Kelsey. At a time where I almost had my life taken from me, Mike was there to prevent that from happening and protecting my future. Mike is so much more than just a Criminal Defense Attorney and is the only choice for anyone who finds themselves needing one.

Even as a local agency employee, This Attorney's office (Mike Howard Law office) his assisstant won't pass the information to his boss to get some remedy or answers for your or your legal defense issues. Buck stops there with his assisstants. They will only give you a typical run around and they stated his staff can't help unless you were already arrested or charge. You will be already screwed; means to be charged or arrested to get some help. Folks if you are charged or arrested look for a certified criminal defense, no less or you would be left like me ;Left hanged to be dry. Good Luck. No questions answered by the actual Attorney.

Mike, words cannot express the amount of thanks that I have for you and your amazing law firm! You made my family’s dreams and hopes come true, and we are forever grateful for this! We are many miles apart; however, you and Trish ALWAYS made every effort to keep me informed of any news, updates, changes, explanations, etc. Your understanding of my brother’s situation and the respect, positivity, confidence dedication and determination that you showed him were truly what got him through all the mess he was in! You entered into his situation with an open mind and ears and showed him that there was hope, that he WOULD get through everything and that he WILL have a future! Thank you for everything you have done! You made 2019 a year that my family will always remember!!!

Mike Howard and his incredible law firm was just that... “there for me every step of the way” They were professional, punctual, and very well respected all over North Texas. With his help I was just released nearly 2 yrs early from both Dallas and Collin Co probation. On top of that he was also able to get a felony dropped to a misdemeanor in Denton Co. I can not thank them enough. I highly recommend them in any situation. Mike brought clarity and fairness to a very serious and often misunderstood system. So call the law office of Mike Howard I personally promise you will not regret it! Thanks for everything!

Mike is a lawyer like no other he was court appointed to me and I have never in my life seen or heard of a court appointed lawyer work or care about someone’s case like he cared about mine. Mike got my 1st degree felony dropped to a class a misdemeanor this man was sent from god because at the time I did not have the funds to afford a attorney nor a attorney of mikes caliber he cared when nobody else did they wanted to give me TDC I got a yr probation. Mike i can never thank you enough you saved my life and if I ever get rich I will donate to your charity or have you go back and add the fees up of what you would have charged for my case and pay you double of whatever that is. If you are really innocent or being charged with the wrong charges mike won’t stop until the right Justice is served... AGG ASSULT W DEADLY WEAPON DROPPED TO A THREAT WITH DEFFERED PROBATION MIKE I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW I COMPLETED PROBATION WAS LET OF EARLY FOR GOOD BEHAVIOR AND THANK YOU BROTHER NOT TO MANY LAWYERS LIKE YOU IN THIS WORLD AND YOU DID THIS FOR ME AS A COURT APPOINTED I NEVER PLAN ON GETTING IN TROUBLE AGAIN BUT FOR ANYBODY WHO IS IN SOME DEEP STUFF MIKE HOWARD IS WORTH EVERY THOUSAND YOU HAVE TO SPEND
THANK YOU MIKE HOWARD YOU GAVE ME A SECOND CHANCE AT LIFE AND IM PROUD TO SAY IVE DID A COMPLETE 180 SOMETIMES IN LIFE IT TAKES A MAN LIKE MIKE FOR YOU TO APPRECIATE LIFE AND GOD BECAUSE GOD KNEW I NEEDED MIKE AND HE APPOINTED HIM TO ME NOT THE COURTS

I have to say that Mike is one of the best attorneys I have come in contact with. He spent over two hours explaining the legal process regarding my husbands case. Although I could not afford to hire him, I felt that if I had the resources I would hire him in a heart beat. He is kind, very knowledgeable and his secretary follows up as promised. I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't had that FREE initial consultation with me. His advice sure helped me get some peace of mind and much needed sleep. He is awesome, and I felt the need to make it known. It is the least I can do after he spent so much of his time helping me. I am a real person and no one paid me to say this, if you have any further questions feel free to e-mail me @

I had 1 felony and 2 misdemeanors. I was referred to Mike Howard by a friend who knew a lawyer that knew him. If I were to list off everything he did right I would have to write a book. This man is young, respectable, treated my right while walking that thin line between his client and the law. Specifically he got my felony dropped and 1 of the misdemeanors, and a plea for 9 months probation. If I ever need legal help again there is no question who I am calling.
