About Us

HOWE, ANDERSON & STEYER is a Washington, D.C. law firm representing corporate, nonprofit and association clients both nationwide and internationally in specialized areas
of practice.

We believe a client is best served when it chooses a lawyer not because of the number of lawyers in a firm, but rather based on the experience and quality of the lawyer with whom that client will have to work. Each of our attorneys has at least twenty-five years experience in the practice of law and advising clients, while our principals have been in practice together for over thirty years. This assures our clients that they will work only with seasoned professionals who will be able to understand and respond to their needs quickly and efficiently. Likewise it promotes our goal of providing top services, at reasonable costs, with a high degree of professionalism.

We are dedicated to serving our clients in the following manner:

We take the time to understand your needs.

Whether it is broad representation or a single project, we will work with you to ascertain your goals, your budget, and the best way to meet your goals within your budget.

We never lose sight of your goals and interest.

We are part of your team, and we are dedicated to providing the legal advice and counseling you need to make informed and intelligent decisions. We will tell you what you need to know, not only what you want to hear.

We are available when you need us.

We will always respond to your calls as soon as we can. At the same time, we will encourage you to call us whenever you are uncertain about a decision you need to make. We believe that prevention is the best solution to most problems.

We are problem solvers, not deal breakers.

Our role is to help you solve a problem or get a job done. If it cannot be done one way, we will try to find another way or a better way to do it. We will not tell you "no" before we have searched for ways to tell you "yes".

We look for the best way to serve you.

Just as you rely on our expertise in the areas in which we practice, we will not hesitate to recommend other experts when they can best and most economically meet your needs. We regularly recommend and work with accountants, actuaries, benefit administrators, consultants and other attorneys.
