After dealing with attorneys in Houston, and not being fully satisfied, I finally found Jennifer Nichols, Attorney at Law. Jennifer is a much desired hidden gem of an estate planning attorney located right here in Beaumont. Within no time at all she had finished putting my desires in a legal binding way that makes me feel comfortable and confident that my affairs are now in order. I wanted my children to not have to worry about how to legally carry on with controlling my assets while alive or deceased. Jennifer has successfully met all of those needs. Thank you Jennifer, Lauren and Cecilia you are the best! Bobbie L.

Malachi Daws represented me when I decided to file for divorce. Malachi is a very down-to-earth attorney, that is easy to talk to. He explained everything very well and answered any and all questions. He is extremely organized and very thorough. During mediation, he fought for what was fair for me, and I am extremely grateful. He helped make a typically grueling process, a very quick (and dare I say, easy) process. I recommend the Daws Law Firm, and I highly recommend Malachi Daws.

My sincere thanks to Malachi and Judson for doing a fantastic job in handling my car accident case.This was my first (and hopefully only) experience filing a lawsuit and I was unfamiliar with the entire process and didn't know what to expect. Malachi was very professional, but genuinely empathetic, competent and most importantly, honest. He did not set false expectations and he was very patient, taking care to explain every step of the process to me so I was able to make informed decisions.
Everyone at the Daws Law Firm was professional, courteous, and extremely helpful. They took care of all the stressful phone calls and made all of my appointments to make an already horrific situation as painless as possible! When I had questions, no matter what they were, they responded quickly by telephone or email.
For my case, I worked specifically with Attorney Malachi Daws. He was knowledgeable, assertive when necessary and required, and always always patient with my many questions. HE IS AS CARING AND SINCERE AS HE IS A SKILLED PROFESSIONAL. I highly recommend this Firm " They won't disappoint! THANK YOU DAWS LAWFIRM! I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME, EXPERIENCE, AND YOUR TRUSTWORTHY AND INTELLIGENT NATURE!”

He recommended I take the deal, which I did. But I remember very well he added if I did 2 years of the 5 years’ probation he would work to get me released sooner. Inside, I didn’t believe that would happen and he wasn’t being honest. But 2 years later to the date he followed through, and I was released from probation. And what a relief. Not being worried all the time. Yes, I had things to do on my end to make that happen. But I go to enough AA meetings and hear of similar offers people get and their lawyers do not follow through. Even when the person does their part. That is why I was lucky (grateful) to have him. That look he gave me in my eyes was sincere, even though at the time I wasn’t believing it.

Ryan was such a god-send to us when my minor daughter found herself in an unfortunate legal situation that could have had serious repercussions for her future. From the beginning, Ryan made us feel more calm and in-control of the situation. He was always available when there was a new development in the case, or we had questions. He also did a great job communicating with my daughter and making sure she understood the situation and what was expected of her. Ryan knew all the players and was able to negotiate the best outcome that we could have hoped for. We are so thankful to have had Ryan on our side during this stressful time.

Mr. Hall guided me through every step of my first DWI offense. I didn’t lose my license and didn’t have to go to court. He initiated an alternative to get me in the pre-trial diversion program.
Mr. Hall was very involved with me through the whole process. He was only a phone call away if I had any questions or concerns. I would highly recommend you contact him if you find yourself involved in a DWI case. He is very experienced and will handle your case with your best interests in mind.
Highly recommended!

Mr Hall worked with me for over two years to resolve this case. He worked tirelessly and never left me with any questions regarding my case and was willing to talk me through every step and every option along the way.
He was able to keep me driving throughout the process, which was a must. As the case progressed, he worked tirelessly to get advantageous motions passed that eventually resulted in The State filing for a motion to dismiss.
I was recommended to his firm by someone else who he worked for and couldn't be happier with my results.
If you need help with a DWI related case, I couldn't recommend Mr Hall enough.

My case was dismissed and I’m very proud of my decision with hiring this attorney for my case. The communication was great and I never doubted him from the beginning.

Thank you again Dustin!!

My fiance and I were in a 18 wheeler accident, we were clueless to what to do. My fiance was in a state of emergency in severe pain as well as myself. I contact Mr Clay, with no hesitation he was there by my side at the hospital with so much caring and concern whether or not we were ok. Mr Clay and his law firm opened their doors and hearts to us and our situation ,and helped us through the most difficult time of our lives. They made us feel like we were family as well as friends for life. Mr Clay and his firm worked long hard hours to get our case settled for a substantial amount. We will forever be greatful to him and his firm. I would recommend Mr Clay Dugas and his law firm a hundred times over to anyone in need of a fantastic Attorney who truly care about his clients.

If you're looking for a competent, professional, and determined attorney, Brian Mazzola is the one for you. Brian helped me navigate the aftermath of a wreck caused by an uninsured motorist.

I highly recommend Brian Mazzola, Attorney at Law.

Both of these attorneys have worked for me on drastically two different things, and both times I have been satisfied. My most recent dealings, I hired Trent and I have to say, I have never employed a more fair, a more honest, a more harder working person. I am totally impressed with him as a person. I don’t know him personally, outside that we Crossfit together, but the way he treated me only speaks to his character and his personality. His integrity is unreal. I am trying to find words to express my gratitude but all I can say is I’ve never been treated with more genuine respect. By the way, he’s a dam good attorney. Thank you Trenton!

Gilbert Adams was my Lawyer in a personal Injury lawsuit. I could honestly not have had a better Attorney handle my case. He is honest, forthright, he took a real personal interest in me as not just a client, but as a valued person. I could go on and on, but I can sume it up and say he was absolutely the Attorney I could have hired in Texas, or any other state in the union. Thanks, Mark Godsey

This lawyer saved my life at a very bad time when I sustained a terrible injury. Mr. Adams supported me in every way imaginable. He is a warrior and was able to obtain a large settlement which was much larger than the insurance co wanted to pay. These lawyers have deep roots roots in SE Texas which I think also helped. These answered my questions, kept me informed and did refer my case out to some unknown lawyer. I am very pleased with their representation. If you need a fighter on your side, better hire Gilbert Adams

Gilbert Adams came highly recommended when my mother fell on an unsafe, wet floor at a local restaurant causing head injuries. We decided to put our trust in him. After about a year of litigation against the restaurant, its insurance company decided to pay the policy limits of $1,000,000.00 to my mom as a result of her serious injuries. Gilbert did a masterful job gathering the evidence to make a winning case. It was easy to see that Gilbert really cares about his clients and their case. Thank you very much for taking care of my parents and for obtaining a recovery that will take care of my mom and which gives the entire Family peace of mind.

Mrs. Alicia Hall was the Amicus Attorney/Guardian Adlitem for my daughter in a highly contentious custody battle. From day 1 she shot straight with me and emphasized the fact she does not represent me nor the opposing party, for her representation is via the court and my daughter's best interest and safety, which she also stressed was her sole primary concern. Mrs. Hall is extremely knowledgeable of the law and responds to missed calls and etc in a timely fashion without remiss. From the moment she was appointed to the case she wasted no time in fact finding and conducting her investigation. Her professional, yet down to earth style and energy sets her apart from most. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a high caliber attorney who knows their stuff and will fight for justice!

We are so grateful for this woman of law in our judgment.

I had nothing short of a great experience with Dan Ducote. I spoke to a couple of other lawyers before working with Dan but none of them seemed to take a personal interest in my case the way Dan did. Dan was right beside me every step of the way in dealing with my case, knew exactly how to get the law to work for me and got me a great result. From the very start Dan was straightforward, friendly, honest and genuinely concerned about me and my family. I can't imagine going to anyone else if I ever have another issue.

Jane Leger was a blessing to me and my family in a most traumatic time of our lives. After my devastating wrongful termination from a major company, Mrs. Leger helped me to take on what most people would have considered an impossible task. This fight against this major company would have most attorneys cower away. But even in the shadow of this daunting task, Mrs. Leger not only agreed to help me, she succeeded in profound fashion well beyond my expectations and the expectations of many others. Mrs. Leger was able to accomplish this victory with her calm reassuring demeanor, complimented by her vast legal experience and her astute intellect. I truly believe my results would have been less without her as my attorney. I would highly recommend Mrs. Jane Leger for anyone with the need for competent and confident legal representation.

Jane is more than the best lawyer in the country, she also became my friend over the 8 years my family battled a huge corporation over a catastrophic injury. This company she battled would try to make our family concede but Jane would not let us give up. She worked tirelessly on our case and not only fought for a significant monetary compensation, but also for justice so other workers would not be injured. Her knowledge of the system and her passion for justice were displayed brilliantly during our trial. Jane changed our lives forever and our family is forever grateful.

Debra took over mid case for me during a very contested divorce/ custody case. She was the first lawyer out of half a dozen I'd spoken with that mentioned doing what's in the best interest of my kids, not merely winning a court case. She frequently reminded me to keep that in mind, to rise above and set a positive example for my children. I did get custody of my children though, but it was never about the money for her but rather what's best for them.
I never believed this case could be settled in mediation, however Debra insisted on trying to avoid the high costs of a final hearing by trying to get my ex to settle. Using her years of experience, expertise, and literal award winning mediation experience, Debra was able to close the deal and my ex settled in mediation.
As a father, it's difficult to get custody of your children. Debra was instrumental in helping me. She works in the best interest of the children first and foremost which is very important to me.
They say nobody wins in a divorce, but Debra ensured that my children won and that's the most important thing to me! I am so happy to have my children safe and secure at home with me!
