From Courtrooms to Closings: The Law Office of Michael Howard Covers It All
For Michael Howard, practicing law isn’t just a career—it’s a calling rooted in community and integrity. This year, The Law Office of Michael Howard was honored with the prestigious 2024 Best of Georgia Regional Award. Presented by Georgia Business Journal at Gbj.com, this award is determined by votes from the people who know best: the clients he serves.
Winning the Best of Georgia Regional Award highlights not only the firm’s legal expertise but also its commitment to serving the community that shaped Michael’s values. For a lawyer who started his practice in the town where he grew up, the recognition is a full-circle moment, underscoring the impact of staying true to his roots while delivering top-tier legal service.
Howard’s journey into law began with deep ties to his community. Raised in Matthews, Michael graduated from Wrens High School and earned his bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice and Political Science from Georgia College State and University. Following that, he pursued a master’s in Management from Troy University before completing his Juris Doctorate at Thomas M. Cooley School of Law in Michigan. These experiences shaped not only his career but his understanding of the value of representation and advocacy for the people in his hometown.
For Michael, the recognition feels especially meaningful. “Winning this award is humbling,” he shared. “It’s not just about the work we do in the courtroom—it’s about the trust our clients place in us. That trust means everything.”
After being admitted to the Georgia Bar, Howard began his career as an Assistant Public Defender in the Middle Judicial Circuit, honing his courtroom skills and representing clients across a range of cases. In 2013, he opened his own office in Sandersville, offering services in criminal defense, family law, civil litigation, and personal injury. Over the past decade, his firm has become a trusted resource for individuals navigating some of life’s most challenging situations.
The firm also handles real estate closings, an area of law that often intertwines with clients’ most significant milestones, like buying their first home or selling property they’ve owned for years. “Every case is unique,” Michael says, “but our goal is always the same: to provide honest advice, exceptional representation, and a clear path forward.”
Clients consistently praise the firm’s personal approach, professionalism, and results-driven focus. One client noted, “Michael Howard isn’t just an attorney—he’s an advocate. He genuinely cares about his clients, and it shows in everything he does.”
This award celebrates the trust Michael Howard has built with his clients and the dedication of his team to making a meaningful difference in people’s lives. For Michael, the work continues, with a focus on helping clients navigate challenges and secure the best possible outcomes.
