Mike Howard Esq. - Dallas, TX

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.
