"Mitchell is a spectacular advocate!  I was a voting board member in one of his hearings.  He did the singularly best job out of all the JAG prosecutors and defense attorneys I have ever seen.  This includes ALL the court and administrative hearings I have been a voting member.  Mitchell gives a rock solid presentation of his client's position!" 

Aaron K. Benson, Military Jury Member
 

“Mitchell is a prominent and gifted trial attorney!  I have been a military court reporter for over 18 years and have worked on well over 100 courts-martial with hundreds of trial attorneys and defense attorneys.  A zealous advocate for his client, Mitchell is one of the best trial attorneys I have ever seen!” 

Mr. Jeffrey Dyer, Military Court Reporter

 

“Mitchell is a highly skilled trial attorney! As a senior trial counsel in the United States Air Force I have tried over 100 cases and worked with countless military and civilian trial attorneys and Mitchell is absolutely one of the most gifted litigators. He is very effective for his client's position."

Roberto Ramírez, Military Senior Trial Counsel

 

"Mitchell's dedication to the law is outstanding. I have worked with Mitchell as a prosecutor and opposed him as a defense counsel in the Air Force. As a prosecutor he brought skill, knowledge, and gut instinct to the table. When I opposed him as a defense counsel, I knew I had my work cut out for me. I have tried over 30 cases in the Air Force and worked against many military and civilian trial attorneys. Mitchell is absolutely one of the most effective litigators I have ever faced. In court, I would want Mitchell on my side giving the closing argument!" 

Damon Scott, Former Military Area Defense Counsel

 

"I was a jury member on a military court martial where Capt Howie was the prosecutor.  He was a great asset to the Air Force legal system. He is an excellent and very persuasive trial attorney who did an awesome job representing his client's position. I highly recommend Mitchell Howie as a criminal defense attorney and would also hire him as a Texas business attorney or Alabama business attorney!"
