About Harrison
Harrison Howle is the founding partner of Thompson & Howle Trial Lawyers. Harrison grew up in Memphis, Tennessee. However, he is now thrilled to call northwest Arkansas home for his family.
Harrison graduated from The University of Mississippi, cum laude, with a Bachelor’s Degree in Music Education. After teaching for about 10 years in the classroom, Harrison then earned a Master’s Degree in Conducting. Both of these performance degrees influence his practice of law in that he can create a beautiful production and tell a convincing story to the crowd.
Harrison also graduated from The University of Arkansas School of Law, where he was active with the Board of Advocates. He served as the Chair of the internal Trial Competition and won the Negotiations Competition. Most notably, Harrison won the Regional Championship of the National Trial Competition sponsored by the American College of Trial Lawyers.
Today, Harrison is passionate about telling his clients’ stories in and out of the courtroom. He is devoted to asking those questions that get to the heart of the matter. Once he knows your story, he’ll kick it into performance mode and take you from conflict to closure.
