Hello, I’m Michelle C. Howard, a certified paralegal based in Asheville, NC, and listed as a North Carolina Notary Public. My background combines notarial service with practical legal support, allowing me to assist clients and colleagues with professionalism, care, and attention to detail.

Through my work with Ward and Smith, P.A., I bring experience in civil litigation support and guardianship support, along with a service-minded approach shaped in part by retail experience. I understand the importance of accuracy, clear communication, and dependable follow-through when documents and legal matters require careful handling.

I strive to make each notary interaction respectful, efficient, and organized, while staying focused on the needs of the people I serve in Asheville and throughout North Carolina.
