Roscoe C. Howard, Jr.

A formidable advocate during a complex federal investigation

When our company faced a daunting federal inquiry that threatened to escalate into serious charges, we turned to Roscoe Howard at Barnes & Thornburg. His 19 years of experience, particularly his recognition in white-collar criminal defense, were immediately evident. Roscoe and his team in Washington, D.C., provided a masterclass in strategic defense. He didn't just react; he proactively mapped out the entire landscape of the investigation, explaining the nuances of the process in clear, actionable terms. His calm, authoritative presence during meetings with government attorneys was invaluable, and his deep understanding of how federal agencies operate in both D.C. and Baltimore helped us navigate the pressure with confidence. The matter was resolved favorably without an indictment, which was our primary goal. While his expertise is unquestionably top-tier, there were occasional delays in receiving follow-up emails, which, given the high stakes, caused some anxiety. That said, his direct line was always available for urgent matters. Roscoe is exactly the kind of seasoned, recognized attorney you want in your corner when the government comes knocking. The result he achieved was worth the investment, and we are profoundly grateful for his guidance.
