    Every court date with him, we won! He was great and easy to talk to! Will recommend everyone to him! Best attorney I’ve ever had! At first I was weary because he seemed too confident but when he says “trust me” you TRUST HIM! He never disappoints! He has every reason to be confident bc he is the absolute best! Kicked my baby daddies butt! Best family lawyer I’ve ever seen!

    Derek Howard was phenomenal!! In a time where you are dealing with a difficult situation, it was great to have someone who understood my needs and worked to get me an amazing deal. His prices were reasonable, he was responsive and displayed great communication with me throughout the process. I am thankful I have been able to move past this experience with his help.

    I was referred to Derek Howard by a family friend, that’s an attorney. He was very professional and responsive. Mr. Howard kept me informed throughout the entire process. I provided him with every little bit of information, leaving nothing out, pertaining to my situation. I was represented better than I could have ever imagined. My needs were put first and was treated as a friend rather than a case number. My opinion was valued and doubts were reassured. My nerves were put at ease. He went above and beyond and did everything he could to ensure a great outcome. I will confidently tell you this… I am your ‘most grateful client’ and that comes from my heart. Thank you very much! -Brian Lawrence

Frequently Asked Questions About Derek R. Howard Attorney at Law

When should I contact a criminal defense lawyer?

It's advisable to contact a criminal defense lawyer as soon as you suspect you're under investigation or if you've been arrested. Early legal counsel can safeguard your rights and potentially influence the outcome of your case.

What should I do if I'm arrested for a crime?

If you're arrested, it's important to remain composed, exercise your right to remain silent, and request an attorney immediately. Refrain from discussing your case with law enforcement until your legal representation is present, as any statements can be used against you in court.
