About S. Mitchell
S. Mitchell Howie built a legal career that stretches back decades. He studied at the University of Virginia in 1972 and went on to the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa, where he earned a B.A. in 1976. He later attended the University of Alabama School of Law, completing the education that set the stage for his practice.
Howie established his own practice in 1991. Since then he has operated The Law Office of S. Mitch Howie. Running a small firm for more than three decades has meant handling many different tasks: client intake, case strategy, court appearances and the ordinary demands of managing a practice. The business has provided him a steady platform from which to serve clients in multiple jurisdictions.
He is admitted to practice in Alabama and Texas and is also admitted to appear before the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. Membership in the Alabama State Bar and the Madison County Bar Association remains current. Those affiliations reflect a continuing link to the legal community where he practices and to the local bar organizations that shape day-to-day practice standards.
Colleagues and clients who have worked with him describe a lawyer comfortable in both the courtroom and the office. He has handled matters that required filings in state and federal venues. Over time, the mix of cases has reflected the realities of running a small law office that serves individuals and businesses across state lines.
Howie’s background—college and graduate study followed by law school—led naturally to a private practice. He took the path many lawyers choose: gain a broad base of legal education, then build a practice tailored to the region and the clients who come through the door. For more than three decades his name has been associated with a one-attorney office that offers direct access to the lawyer who carries the case from start to finish.
He continues to operate The Law Office of S. Mitch Howie and handles matters that arise in Alabama and Texas, as well as cases in the Eleventh Circuit.
