We had the privilege of working with Michael T. Howard on a very challenging case involving our home purchase, and we cannot recommend him highly enough. In March 2021, we bought a home that unfortunately turned out to have a major structural defect deliberately concealed by the sellers. From the very beginning, Michael was thorough, professional, and compassionate. He listened carefully to our concerns, reviewed all of the evidence we gathered—including testimony from a neighbor and a contractor who confirmed the sellers’ knowledge of the defect—and guided us through the legal process with clarity and confidence. He made sure we understood the strengths of our case, the risks of litigation, and the best strategy moving forward. Beyond his legal skill, Michael was consistently supportive, responsive, and honest. He never sugar-coated the realities of our case, but he always fought hard to protect our interests. We wholeheartedly recommend Michael T. Howard.

We have had the great pleasure of working with Winston & Cashatt on a few occasions over the years. (somewhat of an oxymoron as legal issues are NOT usually pleasurable!) However, both attorneys, Mike Howard, Principle @CDA Office, and Erika Grubbs, were deeply knowledgeable in their respective expertise, highly professional in their interactions with all parties involved and most importantly, a high standard of ethical conduct was consistently displayed. In both cases, it was clearly and honestly communicated likely possible legal outcomes to the case as well as any specific fees involving such resolutions. Their fees are reasonable, fair, and no padding or surprises. Frankly, this is a rare gem of a law firm that exemplifies honesty, fairness and integrity. Highly recommend!

We reached out to Mike Howard and paralegal Lora Henderson regarding potential action we're considering against our insurer. In our consultation, he spent ample time walking me through all our options, consideration, and potential risks. His honesty, high character, and professionalism really shown through. I highly recommend Mike and their team for any legal need!

I cannot say enough good things about Mike, who was recommended to me by a trusted friend. He is empathetic and is a good listener. I was amazed at his memory concerning my facts of the case, especially during the first deposition. His employees were always very encouraging and patient. All in all, I felt that Mike and his team were honest, caring, fair and thorough. I give him 5 out of 5 stars and recommend Mike for any legal needs.

Mike Howard is knowledgeable, efficient, and personable. He cuts to the chase and his experience shows - he knows how to handle cases, what needs to be done, and gives reasonable timelines/expectations. I had no doubts when I met him that he would know exactly what to do and had my best interests covered. Highly recommend without reservation.
