JW Howard / Attorneys
For more than 40 years, JW Howard Attorneys has provided superlative representation to business leaders as litigators of the highest caliber. We know that the best lawsuit is often the one that is never filed. That is why we specialize in helping clients avoid problems before they spiral out of control. But when litigation is necessary, we play to win.
What separates us from other firms is the business perspective we bring to litigation. As former house counsel to some of San Diego’s largest companies, we know business concerns from the inside.
Legal insight.
Business instinct.
Litigation success.

There Is No Substitute For Victory
We know what it takes to achieve it.
Let us be your “house counsel”.
There is no substitute for victory and as accomplished trial lawyers we know what it takes to achieve it. We also know the value of putting the tools in place that can position a company to avoid disputes; retain the upper hand in resolving them when they arise and assure success at trial when litigation cannot be avoided.
Skillful advice in advance can avoid expensive problems down the road. But when litigation cannot be avoided, we are there to win. And win we do. Our track record of trial success is unsurpassed.
What sets us apart from other litigators is our comprehensive knowledge of corporate law gathered over years as both inside and outside counsel to major corporations. We know the concerns of businessmen. We have been businessmen. We have been on the inside. And we have seen the results of bad advice from outside lawyers that have led companies to suffocating legal bills and crushing defeat at trial.
We understand corporate governance because we oversee and implement corporate governance policies. We know corporate transactions because we do corporate transactions. From business formations to contract negotiation to the documentation of all manner of corporate and real estate transactions, JW Howard/Attorneys can offer the representation and advice you need.
We also know that some law firms care about their own bottom line more than they do yours. At JW Howard/Attorneys, your bottom line is the bottom line and it is our job to preserve it.

What Our Clients Say
Mr. Howard is simply the most capable, knowledgeable and trustworthy attorney I have worked with in over 40 years in business. I have had him handle a number of legal efforts on my behalf and in every case I felt I not only had the far superior representation, but in fact had the best representation possible. We prevailed in every instance. Without reservation I highly recommend Mr. Howard and have done so to many friends and all who ask.

I have worked with John Howard at the County and State levels. He is one of the most knowledgeable attorneys I have ever known. More importantly, he knows how to win cases. He has the rare ability to see the field clearly. He knows what needs to be done, who needs to be involved, and he knows how to network with the right people to get the job done.
