I read the reviews here before I booked a consultation with Kimbrough Legal.
My consultation was great. My attorney seemed very compassionate and told me that they’d be able to get the results needed quickly.
The first red flag should have been that they didn’t understand what type of case I was hiring them for. My matter is complicated because the opposing counsel is a very special brand of wicked, but when boiled down to drown out the smoke and mirrors, it really isn’t that complicated.
The second red flag should have been that they failed to appear at a hearing I notified them about, that ended up costing me an “inconvenience payment” to the opposing counsel for my attorney not showing up. Then my attorney telling me to just not pay it and then later “it’s not a big deal”.
The third red flag should have been that they estimated my matter was going to cost an extra 40k on top of the 15k I’d already paid..
We mediated in a single session, 1 week later.
But the best part is that since the mediation, I’ve been charged over FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS for mostly for “emails” to opposing counsel.
Did they draft documents that were assigned as a result of the mediation? No.
Not until I threatened to fire the team. And then magically work appeared. But not after saying that it would be more expensive for me, to make them file a motion to withdraw.. ok.
I’ve been backed into a corner of “we’re almost finished” for EIGHT MONTHS post mediation. No final orders entered. Nothing. My ex-husband and his attorney have been putting me through the wringer because I have no court order for the mediated terms, and Kimbrough Legal says they can’t do anything about it.
Well, I finally got fed up and hired a new attorney. She managed to not only get in touch with the opposing counsel, but now has to FIX ALL THE WORK that I’ve already paid for because it’s wrong.
This firm has literally wasted tens of thousands of dollars that I don’t have, with ZERO result, outside of a successful mediation, which was through a third party, and paid for separately.
BEWARE. DO NOT believe the reviews and do not believe them when they say that your matter will be resolved quickly.
They’ll bleed you dry and leave you hanging.
*edit to add* I was called by Tycha personally and threatened for leaving this honest review.
I was told to remove it with 24 hours or face action for liable, slander, & defamation.
I don’t appreciate being threatened, and now I understand why there aren’t more less-than-five-star reviews.

I needed a criminal attorney in Austin Texas that would handle a legal matter in a specific way for me so as to get my Austin, Travis County misdemeanor charge dismissed before I was arrested on the charge and was needing to post bond.
Joseph contacted the DA and arranged for a dismissal of my charge before I was ever arrested or had to go to court.
Before I found Joseph I interviewed a handful of high priced, high rated criminal lawyers in Austin, including a referral from another super lawyer in Dallas County that has handled matters for me. These other Austin lawyers I talked to seemed inflexible and wanted me to go through the entire legal process of turning myself in for the warrant, bonding out, and going to court. A bunch of time and unnecessary bullshit that I knew could be avoided with the right legal approach and the right lawyer to pull it off.
Joseph was the 5 Star Austin attorney that I was looking for and he cost me a third of what the other attorneys in Austin were charging. I am so grateful and appreciative I randomly stumbled across a review from another previous legal client that indicated Joseph was the legal representation that I needed.
I've been around the Texas legal system and I can tell you this is the lawyer you want on your side if dealing with a misdemeanor or even felony charge in Travis County or Georgetown. Seems like a good genuine guy as well. If I ever have another legal matter near Austin 🤞 I need help with i will be reaching out to Joseph.
Thanks again man

What I liked best was his great knowledge and game plan for my case. He kept in contact with me at every step, which was important to me. What impressed me the most was his defense argument for my case in the court room, I felt he really put his best personal effort into fighting for me and my case.
Dan is a great Attorney and I highly recommend his services.

I was facing a difficult legal situation, but Jason English provided me with the guidance and support I needed to get the situation resolved in a manner that exceeded my expectations. His professionalism and dedication were truly outstanding. I was extremely impressed with his, and his team’s knowledge and expertise. They were able to explain legal concepts in a clear and understandable way, and always took the time to answer my questions thoroughly. They were incredibly responsive and always available to assist me, even calling me back after hours to reassure me that everything would be ok when additional challenges arose. Additionally, Jason has a deep understanding and familiarity within the area which helps his clients best navigate the local/municipal legal system. Jason and his team kept me informed throughout the entire process and he fought tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome. I highly recommend Jason English to anyone seeking legal representation. He is a skilled attorney who truly cares about his clients.

If you are searching for the best attorney in Austin, look no further than David White. From start to finish, he exceeded all of our expectations and provided a level of service that truly stands out.
From our very first meeting, David Wright took the time to thoroughly understand our case, explain every step of the process in clear terms, and answer all of our questions. His expertise, confidence, and approachable demeanor immediately put us at ease during what was a very stressful time for our family.
Throughout the process, he was always available to provide updates, address any concerns, and ensure we felt supported. His attention to detail, strategic thinking, and knowledge of the law were nothing short of exceptional. Thanks to his relentless efforts and skill, our case was dismissed, and we couldn’t be more grateful.

Mr. Flores is hands down the best lawyer I have ever met! He is not only incredibly professional and skilled in criminal defense, but also someone who genuinely cares for his clients and takes action swiftly. He’s an amazing person with exceptional legal expertise, and I will forever be grateful for his help.
Before this incident, I had a smooth and promising life with great career opportunities ahead. However, I was manipulated into saying things in a moment of emotional vulnerability, leading to a false accusation of third-degree felony domestic violence. This accusation caused me to lose my job opportunity and severely damaged my reputation, with the other party using this situation to smear my name throughout the industry.
Mr. Flores stepped in and fought relentlessly, using the evidence I had to help clear my name. Despite the overwhelming difficulties and the other party twisting the truth, he worked tirelessly to ensure that the prosecutor saw the truth and ultimately dismissed the case. His effort to defend me in such a challenging and dramatic situation was nothing short of remarkable.
This ordeal has been deeply traumatic, wreaking havoc on my life, mental health, reputation, and relationships. However, Mr. Flores was my saving grace, bringing light to my darkest moments and proving my innocence with his exceptional legal skills. He is truly a savior in my life and a phenomenal lawyer.
If anyone is seeking an attorney who will fight for justice and criminal defense with professionalism, compassion, and determination, I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Flores. He’s not just a great lawyer—he’s the best lawyer forever!

Rick Flores is absolutely brilliant! He is by far the best Attorney that we could have ever encountered. He went above and beyond our expectations. Rick is extremely knowledgeable, fought very hard for us, and won every single case that we brought forth. Court cases can be extremely stressful and challenging; however, Rick helped ease the stress and was always available and ready to help throughout the entire process. We were very pleased and happy that we chose Rick to represent us… not only did we gain a great Attorney, but we also gained a great friend in the process. Rick is truly the best Attorney in town!

I had a very small municipal case that I just could not deal with. I found great reviews on line for Rick as a successful criminal defense attorney. While my case was far from his normal, it was not too small for him to take. He took my call, took my side, calmed my anxieties and got my case dismissed promptly. He is not inexpensive, but if you want your case handled by the best, and someone who is empathetic, kind and effective, call Rick.

I worked with Elizabeth for almost a year on my case. I was facing multiple misdemeanors and a felony charge due to a mental health episode. Elizabeth worked hard to keep me informed as the process played out, helped me understand all my options, and fought hard with the prosecutors to find a bettersolution than proceeding to trial. She was able to get me a pre-trial diversion which ended up with all the charges being dismissed. I cannot express how daunting the prospect of facing trial was, and being able to find another way to resolve it all was amazing. I would wholeheartedly recommend Elizabeth.

Jason Snell and his firm are the single reason we were able to recoup any money from our builder when we ran into a contractual disagreement. Without him, we would have probably not only lost our house, but also all the money invested in it.
Through smart application of the law, Jason and co-counsel Lance maneuvered us into a legal position to get the only positive outcome possible.
Their entire office is great with regards to communication and keeping their client updated, while also setting realistic expectations.
If we will ever need a law firm again, we will not look any further than the Snell Law Firm.

This firm was excellent to work with on my son's criminal mischief case. They are all extremely thorough and provided the persistence necessary to overcome the many challenges and inconsistencies within the juvenile court system. Through no fault of the firm, it took nearly 9 months to get his case resolved and they stay close and communicative with me every step of the way. Jeremy was able to get us the exact outcome we'd hoped for. And, Kassidy was wonderful in helping to facilitate ongoing communication, requesting and delivering pertinent documents and keeping me abreast of all goings-on during the process. Top-notch firm; Top-notch people! I can't recommend them enough!

I needed a criminal attorney in Austin Texas that would handle a legal matter in a specific way for me so as to get my Austin, Travis County misdemeanor charge dismissed before I was arrested on the charge and was needing to post bond.
Joseph contacted the DA and arranged for a dismissal of my charge before I was ever arrested or had to go to court.
Before I found Joseph I interviewed a handful of high priced, high rated criminal lawyers in Austin, including a referral from another super lawyer in Dallas County that has handled matters for me. These other Austin lawyers I talked to seemed inflexible and wanted me to go through the entire legal process of turning myself in for the warrant, bonding out, and going to court. A bunch of time and unnecessary bullshit that I knew could be avoided with the right legal approach and the right lawyer to pull it off.
Joseph was the 5 Star Austin attorney that I was looking for and he cost me a third of what the other attorneys in Austin were charging. I am so grateful and appreciative I randomly stumbled across a review from another previous legal client that indicated Joseph was the legal representation that I needed.
I've been around the Texas legal system and I can tell you this is the lawyer you want on your side if dealing with a misdemeanor or even felony charge in Travis County or Georgetown. Seems like a good genuine guy as well. If I ever have another legal matter near Austin 🤞 I need help with i will be reaching out to Joseph.

Rick is the best lawyer in town. He listens without interrupting and fully pays attention. He is well worth every penny and I would hire him again if I needed to. He is aggressive when he needs to be but is also very empathetic and sensitive to his clients needs. Rick made me feel confident in my case when I didn’t have any faith left in the legal system. 11/10 would recommend to anyone.

What a Criminal Defense Lawyer Can Do for You
A criminal defense lawyer provides legal representation to individuals or organizations accused of criminal conduct. If you're facing criminal charges, a defense lawyer will work to protect your rights, build a defense strategy, and ensure you receive a fair trial. Their primary goal is to reduce or dismiss charges, secure an acquittal, or negotiate a favorable plea deal.
Criminal defense lawyers have extensive knowledge of criminal law and court procedures. They investigate your case, identify weaknesses in the prosecution's evidence, and represent you in court, ensuring that you have the best possible defense.
When Should I Hire a Criminal Defense Lawyer?
It’s crucial to hire a criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible if you are facing any criminal charges. Some situations in which you should seek legal representation include:
- Arrest or police questioning: If you've been arrested or are under investigation, hiring a lawyer early on can prevent self-incrimination and protect your rights during police questioning.
- Felony charges: Crimes such as murder, assault, drug trafficking, or robbery carry severe penalties, including long prison sentences. A defense lawyer is essential in these cases.
- Misdemeanor charges: Even for less serious offenses like DUI, theft, or simple assault, a lawyer can help reduce penalties, negotiate alternatives to jail, or get charges dismissed.
- Plea negotiations: If you’re considering a plea bargain, a lawyer can evaluate the deal, advise you on its consequences, and negotiate for more favorable terms.
- Probation or parole violations: If you’ve been accused of violating probation or parole, a lawyer can defend you against additional penalties or revocation.
- Juvenile offenses: For minors charged with criminal acts, a criminal defense lawyer can protect their future by minimizing legal repercussions or keeping the case in juvenile court.
What Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Do?
Criminal defense lawyers provide comprehensive legal services to protect their clients’ rights throughout the criminal justice process. Their duties include:
- Case evaluation and investigation: Reviewing the evidence, interviewing witnesses, and investigating the facts to develop a strong defense strategy.
- Legal advice: Advising you on your rights, the charges you’re facing, and potential defense strategies, including whether to take a plea deal or go to trial.
- Negotiating plea bargains: Working with prosecutors to negotiate a plea deal that could reduce charges or minimize penalties.
- Court representation: Representing you in all court hearings, including bail hearings, pretrial motions, trials, and sentencing hearings.
- Filing motions: Filing motions to dismiss charges, suppress evidence, or reduce bail, depending on the specifics of your case.
- Trial preparation and defense: Preparing a defense strategy and presenting arguments, evidence, and witnesses during trial to contest the prosecution's case.
- Appeals: If you are convicted, a defense lawyer can appeal the conviction or sentence, arguing errors in the trial process or legal rulings.
How Are Criminal Defense Lawyers Paid?
Criminal defense lawyers generally charge clients in one of three ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyer’s experience. Payment structures include:
- Flat fee: For straightforward cases (e.g., minor misdemeanors), some lawyers charge a one-time flat fee that covers all aspects of the defense.
- Hourly rate: For more complex or ongoing cases, lawyers may charge by the hour, with rates varying based on the lawyer’s experience and geographic location.
- Retainer fee: In cases where extensive work is expected, the client may pay a retainer fee upfront. The lawyer then bills against that retainer for their work on the case.
The cost of criminal defense services can vary greatly, so it’s important to discuss fees during your initial consultation.
How Much Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a criminal defense lawyer depends on several factors, including the severity of the charges, the complexity of the case, and the lawyer’s experience. General cost guidelines are:
- Misdemeanor cases: For relatively minor offenses, such as a DUI or petty theft, a flat fee may range from $1,500 to $5,000.
- Felony cases: More serious charges, such as assault or drug trafficking, can range from $10,000 to $100,000 or more, depending on the complexity and duration of the case.
- Hourly rates: For cases billed by the hour, lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on their expertise and the case's location.
- Additional expenses: You may also be responsible for other costs, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, or the cost of private investigators.
Be sure to clarify the lawyer’s fee structure and any potential additional costs during your consultation.
Top Questions to Ask a Criminal Defense Lawyer
Before hiring a criminal defense lawyer, you’ll want to ensure that they’re a good fit for your case. Here are key questions to ask:
-
What is your experience with cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has a strong track record with the specific type of criminal charges you’re facing, whether it’s DUI, drug offenses, or violent crimes. -
What is your fee structure?
Ask how the lawyer charges for their services and whether you’ll be responsible for any additional costs. -
What are the potential outcomes of my case?
A good lawyer should provide an honest assessment of your case and the likelihood of dismissal, a plea bargain, or conviction. -
How many cases have you taken to trial?
While many criminal cases settle with a plea deal, it’s important to hire a lawyer with courtroom experience in case your case goes to trial. -
Who will handle my case?
Ask if the lawyer will be personally involved or if other attorneys in the firm will handle most of the work. -
How do you communicate with your clients?
Be clear on how often and through what channels you can expect updates on your case.
How to Check the Credibility of a Criminal Defense Lawyer
To verify the credibility of a criminal defense lawyer, take the following steps:
- Check their standing with the state bar: Confirm that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any past disciplinary actions or complaints.
- Read online reviews and testimonials: Platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google can provide insights from previous clients about the lawyer’s communication, professionalism, and case outcomes.
- Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should have past clients or other professionals who can speak to their competence and work ethic.
- Review their case history: Look at the lawyer’s website or professional profile to see their experience with criminal cases, including high-profile or complex cases.
- Look for trial experience: If your case might go to trial, make sure the lawyer has a strong history of courtroom advocacy and success.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most of your first consultation with a criminal defense lawyer, bring the following:
- Details of your case: Be prepared to provide a detailed account of the charges against you, including any documents related to your arrest, police reports, and court dates.
- Criminal history: If you have any prior criminal convictions, inform your lawyer so they can understand how that may affect your current case.
- List of witnesses or evidence: If there are any potential witnesses or evidence that may support your defense, share this information during the consultation.
- Questions for the lawyer: Prepare questions about their experience, legal strategy, and fees to ensure you understand how they will handle your case.
- Bail or release documents: If you’ve been released on bail, bring any paperwork related to your release conditions or restrictions.
By being well-prepared, you can help your lawyer quickly assess your situation and begin building an effective defense strategy.
