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. Philip and Arlene Adrian, Georgetown TX

Matthew shrum handle a bunch of my cases I think there was a total of 7 or so a few 2nd degree felonies a couple 3rd and a state jail he originally got me an amazing offer to get all the cases dismissed through a pretrial diversion program unfortunately me and my ex wife wound up not working out and I messed that up anyways Matthew was still the attorney on my case after getting my pretrial diversion revoked he wound up getting me 3 years deferred adjudication In a extremely quick manner there was no going back to court four different times talking about different offers Mr. Shrum just had one conversation with the prosecutor and worked his magic and got me the amazing offer of 3 years deferred probation on one case and the other 6 or so got dropped he never hounded me for money and expressed through out these past 2 years of dealing with my cases that money is not why he does what he does Mr. Shrum is an amazing attorney and even more amazing of a human being he want to do nothing but help people through hard times I'm their life. If you choose any other attorney other than Matthew for your criminal cases you are stupid this man knows what he's doing in that court house and he's definitely someone you want on your team. Thank you Matthew for all your help I honestly thought I was going to prison over all the cases I had

Mr. Shrum handled my DWI case in San Antonio, TX. My original charge was a DWI with a BAC of 0.15 or higher but he was able to negotiate my case to be deferred adjudicated with some community service and online courses. The results of my case ended with the best possible outcome thanks to Matthew Shrum. My experience with Mr. Shrum and members of his firm were excellent. They were always available to talk me through things and ease my worries. I highly recommend his services if you ever find yourself in need of them.

I hired Mr. Bassett in April 2021 after I was indicted with three federal charges. I was facing a lengthy sentence and on an emotional roller coaster with what I had gotten myself in to. Fortunately for my family and I he was able to produce more than favorable results. Two of the three charges were dropped, and my sentence was greatly reduced. This unrealistic outcome that was made possible because of Sam, a brilliant man with a heart of gold that strategized to our benefit. We as defendants first need to accept our own actions and responsibility in whatever we are dealing with and secondly, we need stellar representation. The best was only made possible due to Sam’s navigation throughout my case. I only have positive things to say about my outcome and work experience with Mr. Bassett, I hope you find this review helpful in making your decision. God Bless.

Needed something done that was unsure if could be done. I was given the option to either move forward or save my pennies by Mr. Bassett's team. From the paralegal to Mr. Bassett, I am SUPER pleased of the outcome. It was simple, to the point and very quick. I've been waiting almost a decade to get some help and I feel like I got the best. I was let down by a previous attorney I originally hired, where he initially responded but then just ignored me. Then I had an attorney who asked me if I was "ready to ride the tidal wave of the Justice system." No, I was not. Where some attorneys are unsure and some even will say "it can't be done" I was given the option and I appreciate that. Despite there possibly being an issue, Mr. Bassett and his paralegal were very communicative and tolerant. While I do prefer a more gentle approach, it was not necessary in the long run. Rest assured that if you need someone to get the job done, you can be assured that Mr. Bassett is going to do his best. I'm very glad I went with him based on a peer (his peer) recommendation. I can now continue on the rest of life thankful that I took the chance and thankful that I went with Mr. Bassett. If you want to go with someone who is well known, has a positive impression and has the backing of an amazing staff, look no further. This has been my best experience with a lawyer! Unfortunately, I have to say that. But fortunate to count my blessings and to be clear of something that was a mistake from the get go.

When a person seeks the assistance of an attorney they are at a crossroads in life that only a legal professional can help with. Whether the issue is criminal or civil in nature, a sign of a good attorney is someone who can separate the facts from the emotions that are often tied to the issues at hand that brought you into his or her office to begin with. Sam Bassett guided me through a dire time where the outcome initially looked bleak; with a separation from my family and life that I have worked so hard to build being a strong possibility. For more than 30 years Sam has gained the skills and knowledge that makes him one of the best in his field, and for anyone who finds themselves at a difficult crossroads, I recommend that you consult with Sam first. The entire team at Minton, Bassett, Flores and Collins work together to ensure that their clients get the best representation. I will forever be indebted with Sam for his hard work in getting me a fair and favorable outcome to my case.

Trusting someone with your life is an incredibly difficult choice and one we never want to have to make but Shelly and her team have helped me through some of these stressful situations. I used several different lawyers before finding her and was less than impressed with all of them. When I contracted her to help me with my second DWI, I found out quickly how a highly competent lawyer handles the courtroom. I have since worked with her on several cases and I have recommended her to many of my friends and family. All of us have been fortunate that she was on our side and I highly recommend her for any legal services.

Shelly was terrific. She asked SO many questions and took detailed answers in writing from me for consideration. And she took some time to think about what I was able to share before she made a recommendation to me about my options. I found her advice to be sound with good reasoning, and I followed it. I would definitely recommend Shelly due to her reasonable approach and pragmatic and thoughtful considerations. I think she can be relied on to give you a frank assessment of your position as well as a good estimate of effort involved on a case.

One can not put into words what Skip is capable of as an attorney. This man literately saved my life. He never gave up, he never backed down. When I was in a situation of being accused of heinous crimes. I told Skip, "I can not admit to something I did not do" Skip stood beside me the whole time. This man is loved amongst his peers and feared by his foes. In the end justice was served. All the false charges got dropped. This man is exactly who you want in your corner, but don't be surprised if he gets in the ring with you. He "Keeps it Real no matter what" Thank you Skip! You are #1 attorney ATX!

You know when they say something is too good to be true usually is not true, well in this case Mr Williams is the exception he is too good to be true, but he's true, he's real! His words are golden. He explained to me what he would do for my son and he did just that. He fought for my son and kept my son from going to prison, my son is free. From my heart for the rest of my life I will be grateful to you. I have to say that I appreciate how kind and professional Rosa Gomez his office legal assistant was to me.

Rob walked me through the process because this was my first time to ever be arrested or in trouble for anything. Handled all the details and just let me know when to be where. He would communicate and keep me updated on each step of the process and was patient with me. The resolution ended with deferred adjudication and a charge for "Obstruction of a Roadway". Not having the DWI charge has saved my career and I couldn't be more grateful.

Rob was hired to help me with my arrest for DUI. My friend knew Rob and he immediately was able to help me with bail. Rob worked with me and explained things very clear what steps he would be taking, what he would do, and what I should do when it came time for court. Rob was amazing. He always pushed for things to move forward and not let me hang in the wind. He was able to have the arrest diminished to obstruction, my probation severely reduced and for me to move on and not let this impede my life. I have recommended Rob to everyone I know if I hear they have had any trouble.

Professionally speaking he does his job quite well. However i had a traumatic brain injury 16 years ago as a result my parents transformed their behavior, a total mess. Sent to jail on false charges and mr roadman got me out. However he allowed his materialistic beliefs to allow him to assume away towards brain injured me resulting in his ignoring of why i felt the way i felt and how his behavior was impacting me. Mr roadman decided to then drop me as a client making him a human being that has directly abandoned me post TBI. My parents abandoned me, my friends did, my attorney has, it is unfortunate. He has never made any attempt to contact me since dropping me zero recognition towards anything wrong he may have done or any form of apology has been presented.

Finding Lisa through a referral from a fellow attorney who attended law school with her turned out to be a stroke of luck. From the moment I enlisted her services, Lisa went above and beyond, surpassing all my expectations at every turn. Her depth of knowledge and expertise in her field were immediately apparent, setting the stage for a truly exceptional experience. One of Lisa's standout qualities is her ability to demystify the legal process and empower her clients with understanding. She took the time to thoroughly explain each step, educate me on relevant laws, outline what was required from my end, and provide clear timelines for completion. Her commitment to ensuring that I was fully informed and involved in every decision was truly invaluable, turning what could have been an uncomfortable experience for my fiance' and me into a manageable and even empowering journey. Lisa's passion for her work shines through in everything she does, and it's evident in the meticulous attention she pays to every detail. Her diligence in crafting documents and procedures not only served our immediate needs but also provided a solid foundation for preventing any potential future issues. I was particularly impressed by her exceptional handling of document retention, recordings, and the seamless delivery of all necessary paperwork. Without hesitation, my husband and I wholeheartedly recommend Lisa and her firm for legal services of this nature. If you're seeking an attorney who combines expertise, passion, and unparalleled attention to detail, look no further than Lisa.

My divorce was handled with incredible efficiency; it could have easily become a year(s) long nightmare, but they worked hard to get it done in a timely manner, potentially saving me thousands (which they would have made). Christine and Jessah really fought for me and guided me through an emotionally difficult journey. They also handled my name and gender change with speed, efficiency and consideration.

The team over at CHA were absolutely fantastic! From start to finish they made sure that everything was just so and as a result I am legally me. 😊 Not only do I not dread social situations where I may be carded anymore, or going through the airport, I'm excited about being carded (which at 40 is no small feat 😅) Are the services offered absolutely necessary? No, you can go through this process on your own, but their fees were not exorbitant by any stretch and they were work every penny for the peace of mind alone that it was being done right and wouldn't get kicked back.

I met Mr.bernard when he was my court appointed lawyer. I was facing 3 felony possession charges and a massive drug addiction. I listened to his plan and he was able to get the courts to give me deferred adjudication. Mr.Bernard never treated me like I wasn't paying for his representation. Within 5 years I landed in court 2 more times again facing felony possession in different counties. He not only traveled over an hour away but also got me deferred adjudication again. I did hire Mr.Bernard for the last two cases and he was amazing. Mr.Bernard helped me stay out of prison and to stay sober. I have changed my life around a 100% and I am doing great now. My wife and I greatly appreciate what you did for us. If you are struggling with a drug addiction please reach out. There is a lot of help out there but you have to want it. Thank you Mr.Bernard.

He kept me out of prison my last 2 mishaps and when I first hired Mr.B I had been to prison multiple times but Thanks to Mr.Bernard and his Wife yes it's a two Lawyer Family correcting Lawyer &Judge Family ..Salute ...But yes a few times His Wife would standin.I had to post something this is a Good Lawyer and seems to be a Good Man .I would see him also out of town his son and mine where both playing AL ..And I know people may say he is not a good Lawyer those people I promise u did not pay they bill That's plain and simple. I'm going to be honest .Trust me anybody who wants a good Lawyer and willing to pay to avoid being locked up Call Him and honor your payment plan show up for court and watch your case disappear.

Louis has worked for me fo over 10 years. He has helped me with three TMB complaints that I won through his excellent guidance. After a recent employee issue that was causing me extreme stress, office manager, walked off the job, he answered my call at 6 PM on a Friday. He invited me over to his home to hang out right then and there because he understood I needed some emotional support. I have been at his home before over a previous stressful issue, my divorce after 22 years. Smarted person I know. Thinks extremely well on his feet during the moment. You will create a lifetime relationship with this man. Specifically, I do not utilize my medical practice carrier and use him self pay because that is how strongly I feel about him

I had used Louis on a prior occasion for license defense that ended favorably. Unfortunately I returned to him for a new issue that he completely bungled due to unprofessional conduct. He was going through personal problems and when I needed him the most, he did not show up. Besides his tendency to make wild promises that he never keeps, his inability to act as a professional has cost me dearly.

I had never been involved with the criminal justice system before (except for a small weed situation a couple years ago). I was so scared for my future after this, but Eric really helped. He made the situation way less scary, kept me informed, and really did everything to fix it. I am so so grateful. He also worked with me on price and payment which helped so much since I'm a student w low income. He was knowledgable and confident and on my side, and that made me feel so much better. Thank you so much eric!

Great attorney. He spends a lot of time explaining everything in detail. He knew exactly what to do with my case, and I am grateful for his services. I would, however, make sure to ask more detailed questions about what the services cover and include. But his services are worth it. He is a very honest attorney for an attorney.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. What is your fee structure?
    Ask how the lawyer charges for their services and whether you’ll be responsible for any additional costs.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
