Law Offices of Howard & Howard
In 1923, T. Brooke Howard founded our Firm in Alexandria, Virginia. He was joined in the Alexandria office by our Senior Partner, Blair D. Howard, in 1964. It did not take long for Blair to follow in his father’s footsteps, quickly stepping out of his Father’s shadow as a dominant force in the criminal courtrooms of Northern Virginia. The legendary Fairfax Commonwealth’s Attorney, Robert F. Horan, distinguished T. Brooke and Blair perfectly, stating that "The old man was a big bear. He was country. He would lay more traps for witnesses than they knew what to do with. Blair is very smooth. He's got great style." After achieving 50 years of service to the Virginia State Bar and the citizens of the Old Dominion, he continues to enjoy his reputation as one of the preeminent criminal defense attorneys, not only throughout the Piedmont and Northern Virginia, but the United States. Partner, John C. Clark, began his career as a civil, commercial and intellectual property litigator in 1999. While interning at the prestigious and nationally recognized Carlton Fields, P.A., he passed the U. S. Patent and Trademark Office Bar before even finishing his third year of law school. In 2013, Partner, T. Brooke Howard II, lifelong Fauquier resident, joined the practice here in Warrenton. Brooke became the third generation of the Howard family to practice law. Driven by the same passion and dedication to his clients that T. Brooke and Blair have displayed for over 90 years, Brooke has achieved on behalf of those he serves, both in the criminal and civil realms. Brooke has been selected as a Super Lawyers Rising Star, 2018-2021 and is the President of the Fauquier County Bar Association. Today, Blair, John and Brooke come together in the heart of Warrenton to provide you and your family with over 75 years of criminal and civil litigation experience and expertise. As your team, their legal knowledge, achievements, and combined track record are unmatched in Virginia Hunt Country.
