Leif’s previous experience in locating critical evidence and interviewing reluctant witnesses for criminal prosecutions has proven to be a great asset for him in developing and strengthening his civil cases.

DUI/DWI
If you are operating a motor vehicle in Georgia with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) at.08 or above, you can be charged with Driving Under the Influence (DUI). Under Georgia law, even a first conviction may result in a sentence of up to a year in jail or on probation, a hefty fine, alcohol and drug evaluation with treatment, community service, and a one-year license suspension. Unlike other convictions for first time offenders, a conviction for DUI cannot be removed from your criminal history. During the license suspension, an ignition interlock device might be available to keep you on the road.
Wrongful Death
If a loved one has died as the result of another person’s actions or inaction, you may consider consulting a Georgia wrongful death attorney. However, you must understand that a wrongful death claim will not apply to every unnatural death. A careful legal analysis is required to fully identify each event, person, corporation, or governmental entity that may have had a role in causing a death as well as the relatives of the deceased victim (i.e. the decedent) who are entitled to pursue the claim.
Traffic Violations
I had 3 charges including a DUI charge, Leif not only saved me the hassle of going to court, he got all charges dropped and got the DUI reduced to a Reckless Driving, on top of that he was very professional, and just a pleasure to have him represent me.
Sex Crimes
In criminal cases, the firm’s practice is primarily focused on representing defendants charged with serious felonies. Firm attorneys have conducted more than 100 criminal jury trials in the state and federal courts. We have successfully defended clients charged with a wide variety of criminal offenses, including murder, drug trafficking, rape, aggravated assault, Medicaid fraud, kidnapping, theft, extortion and armed robbery. We have successfully challenged inadmissible evidence in several courts. Although many cases have gone to trial, we also emphasize our proven ability to negotiate fair sentences and the dismissal of unjustified criminal charges.
Fraud
James has conducted nearly 100 civil and criminal jury trials in state and federal courts. The courts granted him permission to handle individual civil and criminal cases in other jurisdictions, including Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, New York, and New Jersey. Many of James’ civil cases involve catastrophic injuries, but he has also taken the lead role in the successful litigation of consumer fraud and malicious prosecution claims.
Robbery
For example, James Howard represented a defendant in United States v. Rivera, et al., the longest federal drug conspiracy trial ever conducted in Georgia; his client was eventually acquitted of each drug charge after a six-month trial of 17 co-defendants. In 1999, The Howard Law Firm represented a physician in State of Georgia v. Watson and won a rare acquittal on charges of Medicaid fraud. In 2000, the firm successfully defended the lead defendant in United States v. Harriston, a federal racketeering and drug conspiracy trial. This defendant was acquitted of some charges at the trial; the remaining charges were ultimately dismissed after a successful appeal. In 2015, the firm successfully completed its defenses in a federal drug conspiracy and in a separate armed robbery trial despite incriminating DNA evidence and cell tower data.
Theft
Drug Crimes
James is recognized for his criminal defense work throughout the Atlanta metropolitan area. He has successfully defended and resolved a large number of felony cases in the federal district court in Atlanta, Fulton County, DeKalb County, Cobb County, Gwinnett County and Clayton County. He is experienced in defending a wide variety of criminal prosecutions that include drug trafficking, murder, armed robbery, rape, aggravated assault, kidnapping, Medicaid fraud, theft and extortion. In 2016, Mr. Howard received the annual “Award of the Sword” from the Federal Defender Program in recognition of his extensive and effective criminal defense work in the Northern District of Georgia.
Assault
Criminal defense work at The Howard Law Firm usually involves serious felony charges in the state and federal courts. Firm attorneys have handled more than 100 jury trials and successfully represented criminal defendants charged with a wide range of criminal offenses, including murder, drug conspiracy, drug trafficking, rape, aggravated assault, Medicaid fraud, kidnapping, theft, extortion and armed robbery.
Murder
In 2010, Leif returned to Georgia and spent five years as a Senior Assistant District Attorney for the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office and DeKalb County District Attorney’s Office. As a prosecutor, Leif was lead counsel in numerous felony cases, including more than 25 murder trials. He received the fastest favorable jury verdict in Georgia history (8 minutes), earned a Major Case Lawyer of the Year Award, and never lost a trial.

Business and Corporate Law

Business Disputes
The Howard Law Firm provides quality legal representation in a broad spectrum of criminal prosecutions and civil claims based on negligence, fraud, malicious prosecution, employment, or contract disputes. The vast majority of the firm’s civil clients are individuals who are severely injured or damaged by the negligence of other people or the misconduct of corporations.

Premises Liability
Premises liability law involves the liability of owners and occupiers of land for injuries suffered by people who are invited onto the premises. Georgia law recognizes that hotels, restaurants, apartment complexes, and stores invite the public in to do business and such claims arise more often than you might expect.

Personal Injury
The Howard Law Firm recognizes that a personal injury and the proper resolution of personal injury claim are both life-altering events.
Medical Malpractice
The Howard Law Firm routinely litigates against some of the largest law firms in the Southeast. In 1987, the Howards received a substantial jury verdict in O’Neal v. Georgia Osteopathic Hospital – their first medical malpractice trial against the second-largest law firm in Georgia. In 1998, The Howard Law Firm received a $3,800,000 jury verdict in Blake v. General Motors Corp. – our first products liability trial against the largest law firm in Georgia. In 1999, the firm received a $1,425,000 jury verdict in a medical malpractice trial against the largest law firm in Rome, Georgia – the largest medical malpractice verdict ever obtained in that jurisdiction. In 2015, the firm received a $1,800,000 verdict in a premises liability trial against a huge corporation represented by a large Atlanta firm.
