Frequently Asked Questions

Who handles the cases at the Law Offices of Elliot Howsie?

Mr. Howsie will handle your case personally, will appear for you in court and will closely supervise support staff working on aspects of your case such as motions, inspection of discovery, and legal research.

What is Elliot Howsie's win-loss record?

Any Criminal Defense Attorney (with perhaps one exception) who claims he has never lost a case is either inexperienced or untruthful.  Mr Howsie, a seasoned trial lawyer, has a record of winning most of his cases.  However, his success is measured not only by his win-loss record at trial but by the number of criminal cases in which he was able to otain a dismissal before trial or a favorable outcome in terms of the sentence imposed.  Since few cases go to trial, the outcome of cases before trial is even more meaningful from most clients' point of view than a lawyer's victories at trial.

How much does Elliot Howsie charge for every case?

Every case is different.  Attorney Elliot Howsie believes that a lawyer should charge a fair fee reflecting the seriousness and complexity of the case and the number of hours it will require to resolve successfully.  In arriving at a fee and the terms of payment, he also considers the client's financial circumstances.  In light of that attitude, his fees are more reasonable than those quoted by lawyers with less experience.  (All fees and terms of payment are made in person)
