Stephen Howard, Attorney
Stephen Howard is a founding member and partner at Stone River Law. His journey to becoming a lawyer began with a Bachelor of Music Degree. As an undergraduate, Stephen sat in on law school classes just for fun and told a few too many lawyer jokes. He earned his J.D. degree at Brigham Young University’s J. Reuben Clark Law School. Stephen began doing defense work in 1998, taking a job as an appellate research clerk while still in law school. He graduated and was admitted to the Utah State Bar in 1999.
More than just an attorney, Stephen is a committed advocate and an adept problem solver who brings a human touch to the often impersonal criminal justice system. His approach can transform cold legal proceedings into opportunities for significant personal change.
