Testimonials
Respect and dignity
“Mike treated our family and our brother with respect and dignity. Mike was always available and really cared about what happened to my brother. My brother wasn’t just a number to Mike. My family and I can’t thank Mike enough for his kindness and devotion — in addition to his great legal services.”
Patient, kind, & understanding
“I was charged with two serious felonies that jeopardized my life, and really, the lives of my friends and family as well. We all went through this together and Mike was right there along with all of us on what was the most confusing and terrifying journey of my life. He made sure I understood everything about the process – what was happening and what could happen. He was patient, kind, and understanding while I asked him the same questions over and over again just so that I completely understood exactly what was going on.”
I would refer him to friends and family!
“Mike Howard is the best! He was able to completely dismiss a 3rd degree felony and expunge it off my record for good! I never once had to go to court. He always kept me informed and answered questions I had promptly. I would refer him to friends and family!”
Integrity, attention, & respect
“Mike demonstrated a deep understanding and familiarity with the intricacies of the Dallas criminal justice system and he thoroughly explained each step of the process to me. He always knew exactly who to talk to when a challenge presented itself. The integrity, attention, and respect he paid to my family and me in our greatest time of need was something I didn’t expect from this experience, and I could not be happier with my choice to hire him to represent me. Mike wildly exceeded my expectations and I unequivocally endorse his services.”

FAQs
Criminal Defense: You deserve to know what you are going to pay and what it covers. Unlike a lot of attorneys who bill hourly, attorney Mike Howard uses exclusively flat fees, giving you cost-certainty. No hidden fees for court appearances, motions, et cetera. Because you shouldn’t pay for what you don’t need, we break down our fess into a non-trial fee and a trial fee. The non-trial fee covers everything up to the point of setting a case for trial. The trial fee is only due if your case is set for trial.
Personal Injury: We use a contingency fee system, which means we only get paid if you are paid from a settlement or trial verdict.
We strive to offer payment flexibility whenever we can because we understand hiring a criminal defense attorney is not a planned expense. Unless you are ready to set your case for trial when you hire us, only the non-trial fee needs to be paid. We need some substantial up-front payment to get started and from there we schedule automatically recurring payments for the remaining balance. The amount of the up-front payment and the amounts and frequency of the recurring payments depends on the case type and how early in the process you hire us. Getting started early in the process usually means more flexibility.
