About Howard & Howard Attorneys PLLC - Royal Oak

Howard & Howard Attorneys PLLC - Royal Oak operates from 450 West Fourth Street in Royal Oak, Michigan, as part of a broader firm whose Detroit-area presence serves businesses and other clients across a wide range of legal needs. The office presents itself as more than a business law practice, describing its role as helping businesses from startup to maturity get deals done, resolve disputes, and comply with rules and regulations.

The firm’s listed practices are extensive. They include alternative dispute resolution; business and corporate law; the Corporate Transparency Act; business and corporate tax; tax credits and incentives; business bankruptcy and creditors’ rights; data privacy and cybersecurity; employee benefits; environmental law; franchising; intellectual property; patent, trademark, and copyright work; intellectual property litigation; labor and employment litigation; business litigation; intellectual property mergers and acquisitions; real estate; condominium and homeowner associations; securities; and trust and estate planning. Industry experience spans artificial intelligence, automotive, cannabis, chemical arts, commodity futures, construction and development, credit unions, energy, infrastructure and utilities, entertainment and sports, financial institutions, gaming, healthcare, hospitality, and media.

Intellectual property is a notable service area. The firm states that its IP litigators represent clients in disputes involving patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, unfair competition, false advertising, counterfeiting, piracy, and cybersquatting. Its IP attorneys assist with foreign and domestic needs such as licensing agreements, trade secrets, patents, trademarks, and copyrights, while its trademark attorneys offer trademark and trade dress services for industries including healthcare, banking, gaming, and automotive.

Client feedback is mixed overall, with the office holding a 3.40 rating across 11 reviews. Positive reviews frequently describe attorneys as knowledgeable, professional, and helpful, and one review highlights thorough document review, concrete advice, resources, and support in handling a lawsuit. Lower ratings raise concerns about cost relative to case progress and about insufficient explanation during a patent filing. Another review describes dissatisfaction with billing in an eviction and collection matter before a complaint was filed.

Practical details include a Royal Oak address, phone and fax service, and parking located in the rear of the building with the entrance off South West Street. The office page lists numerous Royal Oak attorneys across practice areas, supporting the impression of a sizable local bench rather than a single-attorney practice. Prospective clients evaluating the firm may want to discuss fee structure, communication expectations, and case strategy in advance, particularly for patent, collection, or litigation matters where the review record shows both strong satisfaction and notable concerns.
