Reviews for Howard
Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.Working with Mr. Bass was a great experience after I interviewed many. I needed someone who was easy to work with given my work schedule and the complexity of the case. Mr. Bass made the process extremely easy by being flexible with coordinating meeting times. I was also able to communicate via email. He built trust with me and I valued the advice given which solved the case. Overall I was very happy with work and would gladly hire again.
I was ordered to be detained and incarcerated on a felony PV from a ruling of an adversarial technicality and an "interesting" interpretation of the law. Mr. Bass relentlessly worked his way up the chain of command within Dakota County despite getting unsatisfactory answers at every step. He chose to file a motion to quash the warrant and vacate the jail sentence. At the hearing, his preparedness swiftly overwhelmed the prosecutor. Instead of going to jail, I'm writing this.
Howard Bass was recommended to me by a friend to represent me in a federal criminal matter. I met with and hired Mr. Bass for that matter. Howard is professional, thorough and very competently represented me in all aspects of the case. I would and have recommended Howard Bass for anyone in need of criminal representation in federal or state court matters.
Howard truly cares about justice for all. He covered every base, crossed all the t's and dotted all the i's. I felt extremely confident and comfortable with him by my side in the court proceedings. I was falsely accused and he ensured the court ruled in favor of the truth in my case. I cannot thank Howard enough for his professionalism, intelligent negotiation skills and competence in the courtroom. I owe my freedom to him.
