About Attorney Howard

Every client deserves more than legal representation — they deserve clarity, respect, and someone who truly listens.

Who I Help & How I Practice Law

I built the Law Office of Myrisha Howard on a simple belief:

Legal help should feel empowering — not intimidating.

As a New Jersey attorney, I work with individuals, families, and small businesses who need clear, consistent guidance. Many people are navigating significant transitions and want someone who communicates in plain language and respects their time.

I help:

  • Individuals seeking to clear their criminal records and move forward with confidence

  • Business owners needing contract review, drafting, or negotiation of vendor or service agreements

  • Families preparing estate planning documents to protect what matters most

My goal isn’t just to complete a legal task — it’s to help you understand the process and make informed decisions with peace of mind.

My Approach

When you work with my firm, you can expect:

  • Prompt communication — no unanswered emails, no guessing games.

  • Transparency and clarity — I translate legal jargon into plain language.

  • Respect and dignity — you are a partner in your case, not a file number.

  • Efficiency and organization — your legal matter moves forward with purpose.

Virtual law practice, modern workflow.

I am a licensed attorney in the State of New Jersey.

Before opening my firm, I spent more than 20 years working across the legal, engineering, and staffing industries, learning how to make sense of complex information and manage projects involving multiple stakeholders.

My most recent professional experience involves contract implementation / project management — a role that strengthened my ability to interpret documents, identify risks early, and keep matters moving forward with structure and clarity.

These skills now help me:

  • Spot issues early

  • Keep legal matters organized

  • Push cases forward efficiently
