Howard Law Group

What Howard Law Group does

Howard Law Group is a boutique real estate and creditor rights law firm founded in 2018 and headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida, with a second office in Atlanta, Georgia. The firm concentrates on six core practice areas: judicial mortgage foreclosure litigation in Florida and non-judicial foreclosure in Georgia, creditor bankruptcy representation (Chapters 7, 11, 13), real estate closings, evictions, complex real estate and creditor-rights litigation, and appellate advocacy. It serves institutional clients including national lenders, mortgage servicers, hedge funds, and institutional investors, as well as individual property owners and small investors. The firm operates an affiliated title company, Paradise Closings, which handles real estate closings and refinance transactions.

The firm generates revenue through professional services fees structured as hourly rates or flat fees depending on matter complexity and client agreements. Its go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, relying on direct attorney-client relationships, professional referrals, targeted outreach, and memberships in legal and real estate industry associations. The firm holds formal No Objection status from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in Florida and maintains title insurance partnerships with Old Republic National Title Insurance Company (FL and GA), WFG National Title Insurance Company (FL), and the Attorney Title Fund, enabling integrated foreclosure, closing, and title service delivery. No proprietary technology platform, AI/ML capability, or API/SDK offering is disclosed; the firm operates as a traditional professional services practice.

The firm is founder-owned by Harris Howard with no external investors, no parent company, and no funding rounds. Strategic activity has emphasized geographic and practice-area expansion, including statewide Florida closing services in 2021, a Georgia support team in 2022, and three senior attorney additions in 2025 (Ashland Medley as Managing Attorney in March, Judah Solomon in January, and Andrea Pershard in July), each bringing prior institutional servicing experience.
