We have never gone through anything needing a lawyer so needless to say we really didn’t know what to expect. Howard was there every step of the way.

Featured client story

The attorney who refused to quit.

Sergio · Hired Attorney · October 14, 2026

One hundred years.

That is effectively the life sentence I was facing based on the allegations and charges against me. During two separate consultations with other attorneys, I was told that prison was virtually guaranteed and that I could expect to spend at least a quarter of a century behind bars.

Then I met Howard Dworman.

From our very first consultation, I knew this was different. Howard was direct, precise, honest, and incredibly knowledgeable. He did not tell me what I wanted to hear. He told me what I needed to hear. He came highly recommended, and after meeting with him, my wife and I knew without question that he was the right attorney to represent me.

Over the next 24 months, Howard guided my family and me through one of the most difficult and overwhelming experiences of our lives. Anyone who has ever faced serious criminal charges understands how intimidating the court system can be. The uncertainty, stress, and fear can consume you.

Howard never allowed us to navigate that battle alone.

While no attorney works in a vacuum, Howard’s persistence, strategic thinking, and superior legal expertise were the driving forces behind my defense. He assembled an exceptional team whose collective experience exceeded 100 years in their respective fields. Together, they meticulously analyzed every detail, challenged every allegation, and built a defense grounded in facts, evidence, and relentless preparation.

Throughout the process, Howard presented every plea offer that came from the prosecution and carefully explained the pros and cons of each one. Like many defendants, there were moments when a plea agreement felt like the light at the end of the tunnel. But Howard’s experience gave me insight into something far more important: the possibility of justice.

He provided honest assessments, educated me on every possible outcome, and gave me the confidence to make informed decisions. Because of his guidance, I never second-guessed the decision to fight my case all the way to the end.

Let me be very clear: defending your freedom is not cheap. The financial obligations before, during, and after a criminal case are substantial. But when your freedom, your future, and your family are on the line, having the right attorney is not an expense. It is an investment in your life.

Howard fought for me tooth and nail.

A few weeks before my Pre-Trial Conference, I received an evening phone call from Howard. The timing was unusual, and I immediately assumed this was going to be another plea offer. In fact, it would have been the fourth plea deal presented in my case.

Instead, I received the news that changed my life forever.

Six hundred and ten days after the allegations were made, every single charge against me was dropped.

Not reduced.

Not negotiated.

Dropped.

Words cannot adequately describe the relief I felt in that moment. Freedom is something most people take for granted until they are faced with losing it forever.

Without Howard Dworman’s knowledge, resilience, determination, and unwavering commitment, I firmly believe I would be spending the rest of my natural life incarcerated.

If you have made it this far in reading my story, stop searching for a good attorney.

You have already found an extraordinary one.

If you value your freedom, your family, and the pursuit of justice, hire Howard Dworman. When the fight begins, you need someone who will stand beside you, challenge the system, and refuse to back down.

Howard Dworman never stopped fighting for me.

And because of that, I got my life back.
