About Howard & Howard

Howard & Howard, doing business as Howard Law Office, is a small firm in Ottawa, where two lawyers, Daniel Howard and David Howard, run distinct practices out of the same Churchill Avenue North office. Daniel Howard's work centers on criminal defence, with trials conducted at all levels of court in Ontario, and on mental health law, appearing before the Consent and Capacity Board of Ontario and the Ontario Review Board. Daniel Howard is also listed with Legal Aid Ontario for administrative tribunal and Gladue matters. David Howard, called to the Ontario bar in 2015 and born and raised in Ottawa, has practised family law and wills and estates ever since, handling divorce, separation agreements, cohabitation contracts, child and spousal support, and property division, along with wills, powers of attorney, and estate trustee applications.

The practice reaches beyond the city itself. Daniel Howard's criminal and mental health law files extend into the eastern Ontario communities of Renfrew, Pembroke, Cornwall, Brockville, and L'Orignal, and both lawyers are on Legal Aid Ontario's roster, so clients who qualify can retain the firm on a Legal Aid certificate. David Howard also offers limited scope services, drafting, coaching, and legal research, for clients who want to handle parts of a family law matter themselves.
