History

Formed by Howard Bass in 2004, the Bass Law Firm is the premier criminal defense firm south of the river. The Bass Law Firm was originally named Bass and Peck (you can read an article published in the local newspaper about the opening of the original firm here).

Upon graduating from law school in 1984, Howard moved to the Mississippi Delta where he practiced as a public defender until 1988. Howard returned to Minnesota to practice with legendary criminal defense lawyers Doug Thomson from 1988 to 1989 and Ron Meshbesher from 1989 to 2004.

Howard has more than 20 years of extensive trial and appellate experience in both state and federal courts. He has successfully represented clients charged in a wide range of felony, gross misdemeanor, misdemeanor and petty misdemeanor cases.
