Professional And Experienced Attorney
Attorney Karrie D. Howard
Led by Attorney Karrie D. Howard, a former Assistant United States Attorney, Air Force JAG Officer, and Marine Corps veteran, Howard Legal Services LLC brings over two decades of military discipline, complex litigation experience, and executive public safety leadership to every case.
His background across the Department of Justice, municipal government, and the armed forces gives clients the advantage of a lawyer who understands how systems work and how to hold the system accountable.
Every client deserves to be treated with dignity. Every case deserves preparation. Every fight deserves full commitment. That’s how we operate with discipline, honesty, and heart.
“We are more than a law firm. We are your defense, your advocate, and your ally.”
Protecting Rights. Defending Futures.

- Integrity — Doing what’s right, even when no one is watching.
- Preparation — Every case is built with precision and discipline.
