Theres a reason this dude has over a hundred 5-star reviews and not a *single* 4-star or lower or negative review. Taylor is awesome, the only lawyer I’ve ever met (and, sadly, I’ve met a few) that 1. answers his own phone, 2. does it on the first ring, 3. remembers who you are, and what’s going on with your case, and 4. tells you the truth, not just whatever BS he can to get you off the phone (like every other criminal lawyer). He is my daughter’s public defender but has treated us better than all the paid lawyers I’ve hired! Will be using him again if the need arises.

After nine years and three different lawyers, I found Kristen Carr at Varghese Summersett at a time when I needed her the most. Through these years, I’ve learned an important lesson: lawyers are not your friends, nor should they have their own agenda—they are there to litigate for you and your case. That is exactly what Kristen Carr did.
Kristen is not only incredibly skilled in navigating the courtroom, but she also knows how to litigate effectively with a judge and conduct precise, impactful cross-examinations. What truly sets her apart, though, is her ability to pick up on critical details that may seem obvious to me as the client but are often difficult to articulate. She would grasp these nuances and fully understand who and what we were up against.
For the first time in my long and difficult custody battle, I felt validated as a client. These cases are incredibly messy and emotionally exhausting, but every time I spoke with Kristen, I felt a sense of relief. I knew I was in capable hands and had someone genuinely fighting for me.
I will never forget the first time we met. I didn’t even have to step into the courtroom—a place that is both intimidating and highly tense. Kristen walked into the waiting room, handed me papers the judge had signed, and said, “Go get your son.” In that moment, years of fear, stress, and uncertainty melted away.
While I had strong evidence in my favor, I can’t overstate how Kristen’s handling of my case probably saved years of my life. After nearly a decade of fighting with ineffective lawyers, I could finally breathe knowing Kristen was fighting for me and that she truly knew her stuff.
I would highly recommend Varghese Summersett for any type of case you are facing. Kristen Carr, thank you—you have truly helped change my life and my son’s life forever.

Warning to anyone tempted to engage with this company: many of their reviews are clearly false (you can pay for reviews or people sometimes have family members leave fake reviews). In addition, they are involved in several lawsuits.

Best decision I made to switch lawyers to Kyle Steele. I had started with another attorney, but after twice having the ball dropped with my case, I switched to Kyle hoping for the best. And Kyle came through. I had a felony probation violation with 2 new felony charges. I was stressed. Kyle gave me his cell phone number and answered my questions within 24 hours. In the end, Kyle was able to get my original probation reinstated, and probation on the new charges. No Jail Time!!! Which I thought for sure was coming my way! So happy that I trusted Kyle’s reputation as a top lawyer in Dallas! He definitely is!

Ja’Mesha Morgan is an exceptional attorney who exceeded my expectations in every way. From our very first meeting, she was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and transparent, walking me through each step of the process and setting realistic expectations about how my case would unfold. Her ability to explain the legal complexities while managing expectations was truly impressive.
Throughout my case, Ja’Mesha was always in close communication, promptly responding to my questions via email or direct calls, which I deeply appreciated. It's rare to find an attorney who is as personable and dedicated as she is—she truly made me feel like I was her top priority.
In the end, we achieved a favorable outcome, exactly as she had predicted, which is a testament to her experience and insight in handling employment cases.
Ja’Mesha is kind, patient, hardworking, and extremely knowledgeable—qualities that make her the perfect attorney. I have told and recommended her to many of my friends, and I would happily recommend her to anyone else in need of legal assistance in a heartbeat.

I can’t begin to express my gratitude enough!!
I recently worked with JL Morgan Law regarding an employment termination issue, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. From the moment I reached out, she was incredibly prompt and personable. Ms.Morgan quickly outlined all of my options and took the time to ensure I understood each one, which gave me confidence in my decision-making process.
She knows her field and laws, and made me feel supported every step of the way. I’m 100% certain she had my family’s best interests at heart throughout, and I am incredibly grateful for her expertise and genuine care. I highly recommend Ms.Morgans for anyone needing legal assistance—shes simply the best!

I had a great time working with Flo for my son's case. He and his team are very communicative and they answered every question I had in a timely manner. They also use an app that lays out every step of the process in detail and highlights which step you are on. Helps keep your mind at ease through the whole process. They also recovered more money than I thought insurance would pay out for my son's case, so that's a win! I would definitely recommend Flo4Law

This is hands down the best legal representation I trust for myself or my family. Over 10 years ago I got into trouble and Mr. Clancy went above and beyond to help me with amazing representation. So much so afterwards I was able to pivot and I went on to earn a Bachelor's and working towards my Masters Degree and none of this would be possible if I didn't have the proper representation. It's hard to find a lawyer who would work hard for you, and thankfully I was able to obtain representation from Daniel Clancy and I changed my life afterwards. I graduated with Honors from college and I can't thank him enough. I trust Daniel Clancy with my family and friends who need legal representation and I believe he is one of the best to do it. Thank you so much Daniel Clancy for helping me. If you need someone who can actually get the job done, Danny is the best place to start if you're in Texas.

Went to my second court appearance today for running a red light. Judge dismissed it because the cop didn't show up. The reason for the 2 stars is because, when I first went to the office to fill out the paper work, I felt that the (older lady) forgot her name was judging me based on how I look, I shave my head maybe because I look like I'm up to no good which I'm not I have no tattoos either, felt like she wanted me out of there as soon as possible. I was being very polite and friendly but that didn't work, she felt threatened by me, she even said there someone in the other room, I said to myself ok, she was pretty much saying I'm not alone. I said to myself I will never hire these people again.

Buck defended me on two separate cases. He did such a great job. He was extremely knowledgeable on every step of the process in both cases. I was scared and had no clue what to do, but Buck handled everything from start to finish. I never felt nervous with him representing me. I could not imagine going through any of the legal process without representation. I would highly recommend Buck as your next attorney for a DWI or other drug/alcohol related case. Thanks again Buck!

Buck went out of his way to provide a positive experience for our family when we had to go to court for my husband's DWI. Buck was a true professional and his legal/court experience showed through. My husband decided to fight his DWI by way of a jury trial. I was 7 months pregnant at the time and Buck made sure to keep me in the loop every step of the way. He made sure that I was informed about what was going on during the proceedings.
When speaking to the judge and jury, Buck was passionate yet professional. Long story short, we got a Not Guilty verdict and it is all because of Buck. I would trust him to take care of me in any legal situation!

I was charged with a DWI in Dallas, and felt devastated when it happened. Everything I had worked hard for was on the line. I'm employed in an industry where I had to disclose it, and it was so embarrassing. Even my family felt I had let them down. Regardless of the circumstances surrounding your case, there is just a stigma associated with DWI's. My case was very complex and I felt that my chances of winning were slim.
I went online and spent hours searching for the best lawyer I could find. I came across Buck's reviews and they just resonated with me. I called, we met the next day, and by the end of our conversation I had hope again. What gave me peace of mind throughout this whole process was how Buck, and his assistant Misha were so invested in this case. They promptly returned calls, addressed every single concern I had, and set all expectations. There was even another one of his colleagues helping during the trial.
I was so impressed with how Buck handled the whole case. It was obvious that his experience as a former assistant DA gave us an edge. His passion for his work was evident throughout the entire trial. At the end, I was found not guilty! I would highly recommend Buck to anyone going through this intimidating process. Just call him, and see what he can do for you.

Contacted Kreig for a free consultation regarding probate options for a complicated family matter. Andrew Poore was very friendly and informative. Due to complexity of matter, he did not have all the answers to my questions, but reassured me that he would do a deeper dive into the information I presented him and would follow-up with me next day with further guidance and quotes. Very satisfied with initial consultation.

What stood out most was his excellent communication. He kept me informed throughout the entire process, always making sure I understood my options and the next steps. Any time I had a question, he responded promptly and thoroughly, which gave me great peace of mind.
Thanks to his dedication and skill, my case was resolved quickly and with the best possible outcome. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a knowledgeable and effective attorney. If you want someone who truly cares and delivers results, look no further!

The address for this location is 8150 N. Central Expressway. The way google Maps takes you to is by Klyde Warren Park. Incorrect and stressing. The location is, of course, off 75 exit Caruth. The tall gold glass window is it on the right. The building has 16 floors, I believe. If you need floors higher than 9, take the two elevators closer to Rhino coffee. I wish I'd known all this prior to my 1st appointment at Taylor Counseling. Other than that, I would have given this location a five. Google Maps, fix the directions for this location, please.

Pyke & Associates was able to help me with my father's Probate will. Mr. Balen who was assigned to my case is a great lawyer! who managed the Probate to go smother. Also, Mr. Balen took the initiative to help me with the sales of my father’s estate. He fought for me to find a title company and after dealing with the third title firm, he was able to help me close the sales. This process took almost a year, but if it hadn’t been for him, it would probably taken longer. I am very pleased with the service, Pyke & associates has provided me. It is a great firm and the lawyers are excellent!

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.

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.
