About Howard
Howard Spiva built a career that crosses law, business and local media. He completed undergraduate studies at Armstrong State University in 1976 and earned his J.D. from Woodrow Wilson College of Law in 1984. Those years laid a foundation for a varied professional life that began before he even received his law degree.
Early on Spiva moved into real estate. In 1982 he became broker-owner of Savannah Real Estate Investments. That experience put him on the transactional side of property and business matters. It also gave him a private-sector perspective he later carried into his legal practice.
In 1984 he opened Spiva Law Office, PC. He has been identified as the firm’s owner since that year. Alongside the law practice he took on a public-interest role as director of the Justice For Children Foundation beginning the same year. That dual path — private practice and nonprofit leadership — has been a consistent theme in his career.
Spiva’s activities have not been limited to the courtroom and the boardroom. In 2006 he began hosting a radio program called Never Settle For Less. The show added a media dimension to his work and created another outlet for public engagement. It also broadened the types of community issues he addressed beyond legal filings and real estate transactions.
Throughout his career he has been active in Georgia, where he is licensed to practice. Much of his professional life has unfolded in roles that require both legal knowledge and practical business judgment. Operating a law office while managing nonprofit responsibilities and earlier running a real estate business has shaped how he approaches client matters and organizational governance.
Colleagues and clients have encountered a practitioner who balances casework with community involvement. Spiva has spent decades juggling client representation, nonprofit duties and a public-facing radio program. Those strands form the professional profile he brings to each matter.
As of 2026 he continues to run Spiva Law Office, PC and remains engaged in the Justice For Children Foundation and other ventures begun earlier in his career. He concentrates his practice on serving clients in the state of Georgia through his law office.
