The Law Office of Mitchell J. Howie LAW letter
Words from the owner:
First let me express my sincere gratitude for your interest in my full service law firm and for visiting our website. When viewing our website please keep in mind all feedback is greatly appreciated.
I was officially separated from the Active Duty Military service in 2009 but I continue my military service in the reserves. Currently my firm is actively engaged in civil and criminal litigation. I have been blessed to be selected by many esteemed memberships since I reopened my practice in 2009. Just to name a few, I have been a member of the National Trial Lawyers Top 100 since 2014 and an executive committee member of the National Trial Lawyers Top 40 under 40 since 2015. Also in 2017 and 2015 I was selected to be a member of the Nation’s Top One Percent of attorneys by the National Association of Distinguished Counsel (press release). All of these awards are a testament to the clients I fight for every day who put their trust in me to fight when they are in a tough position (be it criminal, family law or when they have been injured).Â
Please see below for our Law Letter and current areas of the law where we are accepting clients.
As always I will strive to give you unsurpassed legal representation in whatever capacity I serve or advise you in! If I cannot take your case for any reason I will refer you to somebody who can. I look forward to serving all your individual and business legal needs in the future. Overall things are going great but of course I am never too busy for any referrals you may have.
Sincerely,
Attorney at Law

Business and Corporate Law:
The firm was able to settle a case for a business client in an extremely favorable manner. The business client was being sued for over $60,000.00 dollars in damages but with my firm’s aggressive litigation strategy, and counterclaim, we were able to convince the other side to not pursue our client for any damages. On top of relieving our client from all alleged liability, we were able to have equipment (valued at over $10,000.00) transferred to our client at no cost!
Personal Injury Law:
Our aggressive litigation strategy in our representation of a personal injury client has allowed us to settle a case for one of our client’s for maximum liability.

My firm was contacted by an individual who was falsely accused of stealing from his employer. We have already begun our representation of our client to ensure justice is done!
Employment Discrimination Law:
My firm has been retained by an individual to pursue a claim of employment discrimination against a major corporation! We are in the process of ensuring our client receives fair treatment required under the law. We will not stop working until we secure appropriate justice and hopefully ensure this corporation stops their process of discriminating on the basis of skin color!
Family Law:
Just a few days following the revising of my firm’s family law webpage, we signed up two new family law clients and will start representation to serve their legal needs immediately. We will work to ensure our clients and their families are treated properly by the family courts.
