About Howard
Howard Dworman took a roundabout road to law. He earned a B.A. in Criminal Justice from Western Michigan University in 2006 and returned to school nearly a decade later to complete a J.D. at Arizona Summit Law School in 2015. The gap between degrees gave him time to consider how he wanted to practice. It also informed the practical approach he brings to criminal defense work.
He began his legal career in Arizona courts almost immediately after law school. In 2017 he served as a public defender in Maricopa County, where he handled a steady docket of misdemeanor and felony matters. That same year he worked as an associate at the Law Office of Robert Gehrke and provided services connected to family protective services at the Arizona Lawyer General s Office. He also spent time at Lawyers For Freedom Law Office, gaining exposure to trial preparation and client counseling in high-pressure settings.
By 2021 Dworman had moved between private practice roles and boutique defense firms. Records show he worked at Goldman Law, LLC and at Rosenstein Law Group during that year. He is listed in office records for Rosenstein Law Group and AZ Defenders in subsequent years. Across those positions he balanced trial work, pretrial motions, and client advocacy in both state and federal matters.
Dworman is admitted to practice in Arizona and in the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. He is also admitted to the United States District Court for the District of Arizona. His professional memberships reflect a steady orientation toward criminal and DUI defense. He joined the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers in 2018. Since 2019 he has held memberships in the National College for DUI Defense, the Arizona Lawyers for Criminal Justice, and the DUI Defense Lawyers Association. He has been listed with the Ninth Circuit membership roster since 2017 and with the federal district court roster since 2016.
Those affiliations feed into a practice that centers on defending clients accused of criminal offenses and DUI-related charges. He has experience in trial settings and on appeal, and he has represented clients in both state and federal forums. Sources show a mix of public-sector and private-practice work that informs how he approaches case strategy and courtroom preparation.
He currently represents clients in criminal and DUI matters in Arizona and appears in federal courts, including the Ninth Circuit.
