I have represented clients in civil law cases in Denton County for over 30 years. As a practicing attorney, I am familiar with the lawyers in other practice areas and the quality of their work. Earl Dobson is an excellent criminal defense attorney who I have referred numerous cases to because of the positive feedback I always receive. Earl is a skilled and experienced trial lawyer who is passionate about what he does and the people he represents. Earl is very knowledgeable, ethical and shoots straight with his clients. It's easy for me to give him a five star recommendation.

For anyone seeking legal guidance and formidable representation, the Law Office of Earl Dobson is an undeniable choice. My experience with Mr. Dobson was exceptional and exceeded all my expectations. He embodies professionalism, empathy, and a high degree of legal acumen that is hard to match. Confronted with a complex case, I was initially beset with anxiety, but Mr. Dobson's calm demeanor and his ability to break down the complexities into understandable terms quickly put me at ease. I was particularly impressed by Mr. Dobson's skillful approach to evidence collection and case building. His diligence and attention to detail led to the construction of a robust, unassailable case. It was this concrete evidence that resulted in a full decline from prosecution—an outcome that truly speaks to Mr. Dobson's mastery in the legal field. We never had to step into court or battle for a dismissal. As soon as the prosecutor reviewed the compelling evidence presented by Mr. Dobson, we received a full decline notification, which was a testament to his dedication and relentless pursuit of justice. To me, Mr. Dobson is not merely an attorney, but a steadfast advocate who stands by his clients through thick and thin. If you are seeking a legal counselor who can secure the best possible outcome while maintaining the highest standards of integrity, trust, and transparency, then the Law Office of Earl Dobson comes highly recommended. In all honesty, Mr. Dobson is the best attorney I've ever had the pleasure of working with. His top-tier services have made a tremendous difference in my life, and for that, I am deeply grateful. I assure you, with Mr. Dobson, you're not only in capable hands, but you're also with someone who genuinely cares.

Hello, (Malo) My name is Segia Tupu (birth name) but my American name is Sarah Johnson. I want to take the time to say thank you to Earl and his team. You guys not only did a phenomenal job but you out-stood the rest of the world. Because of you, I have found my way into who I am as a person. Because of you, I had my case dropped that should have never been a case. I cannot express how grateful I am to you, Earl. You showed me kindness and gentleness. You showed me love in a way I hadn’t seen with others around me. You were patient with William Johnson (adoptive father) and you did your best to make things happen. For that, I am grateful and honored to have been a part of your journey. I thank you for helping me in a time of need. But mostly, for doing for me what I couldn’t do for myself. I will remember you and your team when the time comes. Much alofa (as they say in Samoa) Segia Tupu

Kimberly and Taylor did an amazing job in my divorce. Unfortunately mine was very nasty and very complexed . I highly recommend hiring her for all your family or criminal law needs . It finally got finalized after 5 months of arguing back and forth with my now ex wife. Kimberly was able to get us to agree without having to go to mediation. She is one of the best in Denton county hands down! She will make sure she fights hard for all her clients and to get the best possible outcome for all her client’s!

Received a felony charge. Needless to say, this was a lot of stress and Nathan Miller accepted my case. He got me deferred adjudication and then expungement afterward. The consulting appointment was very knowledgable and laid out possible outcomes; I'm glad I hired him. His office put me at ease by updating me on checkpoints and major changes along the way. COVID-related protocols delayed my expungement but I was notified quickly on those circumstances.

No tengo palabras de agradecimiento para The Albarado Law Firm por su implicación personal en mi caso familiar. Gracias a su personal por su amabilidad, tiempo, y esfuerzo. Fue un alivio encontrar un abogado bilingüe donde realmente sentí que se preocuparon por mi situación por yo soy del Sur de Texas. Sus atenciones a los detalles me brindaron tranquilidad en una etapa difícil y complicada en mi vida. El abogado Albarado es muy preciso, justo y sumamente hábil para negociar con la otra parte y llegar a un arreglo donde todos estuvieron de acuerdo con los términos sin tener que llevar el caso a los tribunales. Definitivamente recomiendo encarecidamente al Abogado Albarado a toda la comunidad de Denton y sus alrededores que estén en busca de un buen abogado defensor porque el luchara por sus derechos hasta el fin.

Dan has proven to be a thorough attorney that leaves no stone unturned. Was always available and quick to respond to texts and emails. The only thing lacking was face to face consultation in his office. Other than that, Dan was quick to respond when we had a question. I’m not aware of everything Dan did behind the scenes while dealing with the opposing attorney but in the end, the outcome was favorable considering the circumstances. I would hire Dan again and recommend his services.

Dan Peugh has the knowledge, skill, and compassion to help your family navigate these unknowns.

I am so thankful I found Dan to help me with my DWI arrest. He is professional and has experience handling DWI’s. His paralegal Cara is great and always answered my calls and emails in a timely manner. I was always kept informed throughout the process so I knew what was happening. This was a super stressful time for me. DWI laws are pretty much straight forward so he could only do so much but he was able to get me the best possible outcome I could expect considering the facts in my case. I am happy he was able to get my probation term reduced slightly. I couldn’t have done it without him or Cara. I hope I never need him again but wouldn’t hesitate to retain him again if needed.

I recently had the opportunity to be represented by Benjamin Hunsucker, a criminal defense lawyer whose professionalism and expertise are truly unparalleled. After parting ways with my previous counsel due to their borderline misconduct, I was fortunate to be referred to Mr. Hunsucker. With time against us, he took on my case at the eleventh hour and demonstrated a commitment and sharp acumen that was utterly absent in my prior experience. From our initial meeting, Benjamin instilled a sense of confidence and relief in a situation riddled with anxiety and uncertainty. He wasted no time in meticulously dismantling the case that had seen little to no progress for over a year under my previous lawyer. His approach was both strategic and rigorous, showcasing his profound understanding of the law and a tireless dedication to justice. I am deeply grateful for Mr. Hunsucker's extraordinary effort and the personal investment he made into ensuring the best possible outcome for me. His thoroughness, along with an ability to navigate complex legal challenges effortlessly, sets him apart in a league of his own. For anyone in need of a criminal defense attorney who not only delivers results but also cares genuinely for his clients, I cannot recommend Benjamin Hunsucker enough. His work ethic, combined with his exceptional legal prowess, truly makes him an advocate worth having in your corner. Thank you, Mr. Hunsucker, for not just representing me, but for restoring my faith in justice.

I hired Mr. Stone off the recommendation from a friend. In the process of trying to recover my wrongfully withheld security deposit from my former landlord, I was countersued and subsequently lost in small claims court. After Mr. Stone reviewed my case, he gathered evidence in my favor through various legal routes that I would have been unable to myself. We then filed an appeal which was heard in a higher court. My landlord settled days before the trial and dropped his countersuit. Additionally, he returned my full security deposit and paid all my lawyer fees, including other accrued charges in the legal process. Mr. Stone put a tremendous amount of effort and time into my case and I would trust him with any other legal issues that would require an honest, experienced lawyer.

I was facing a very long process from a wrongful eviction to my deposit of $1400.00 being kept. I covered myself knowing the type of landlord I had. Being a single mother of two with a grandbaby and never being in this situation before I felt hopeless, until I went online and seen this site and chose to try Mr Stone he answered we started to talk about my situation and from then on we never lost contact. Mr Stone made sure I was informed every step of the way. With his knowledge and firmness displayed to this slum lord it was without a doubt he was representing me and to the fullest. After all was said and done my results were a wrongful eviction WON also my deposit and court fees PAID IN FULL. Where this landlord took away from me believing that good people no longer exsist Mr Stone restored. I really appreciate all the work he did to represent me and the stress he took off my family. If your in need of a professional to represent you with a great soul look no more Mr Stone is you guy. Again Mr Stone THANK YOU. fees paid in full. This guy was awesome and then some.

He served more as a mediator than a tool of aggression, which worked out well since the other party didn't have a lawyer and I wanted to solve the disputes amicably and knowledgeably.

I contracted Mr. Rentz for a criminal case in Denton County. Although he took over the case at the point it was set for a final plea, the difference was apparent from the first conversation. It was evident to me that Mr. Rentz holds a certain degree of respect in the court room that my previous attorney lacked. After just one reset Mr. Rentz was able to work a conditional dismissal. Once I completed the required course the judge signed the dismissal and I didn't even have to return to court. Thanks to Mr. Rentz I can get the record expunged. I would highly recommend this attorney.

Attorney Brent Hill is like that one friend you have, who instead of telling you what you want to hear, tells you what you need to hear. If you are lucky, you understand exactly what I am talking about. This is a well-known quality of Mr. Hill within the Courts in which he practices, and when you walk into that Courtroom with Brent Hill by your side, your representation by him immediately carries that credibility, whether it be criminal or civil, which I can attest to, because I have had to experience both. My representation by Attorney Brent Hill hasn’t always been easy. Because of his strong demeanor and directness, I even considered seeking out other council at times; but through it all, I came to understand and appreciate how lucky I was that I hadn’t been let go by him. I’m now glad neither happened, because I currently retain the attorney I believe to be the absolute best legal representation a person can possess. Brent Hill forced me to become a better client, and in doing so he made me a better person, which ultimately led to better outcomes in both the Courtroom and in my life. Brent Hill doesn’t sugar coat things, and you won’t always like what he tells you, but if you are willing to set aside your ego and listen to what he says to you, then I can personally attest to you that you are in the hands of the absolute best legal representation attainable.

We retained Brent Hill less than a week before our hearing. I am the mother of a special needs child, and was served to go to court regarding my daughters medical needs. My ex wanted to take all medical rights away from me. My daughter had a stroke at age 3 and has miraculous medical progress in the last 4 year. Taking me out of the picture as far as her medical needs and decisions would’ve been extremely detrimental to her health. We met Brent and retained him on a Thursday and our court day was the following Tuesday. We only had time for one meeting the night before court. With limited time and limited information to work with, he derailed the petitioner’s case. We are so so grateful to Brent!!!! I highly recommend him for any family law case. He is highly capable and intelligent. He clearly had a sincere desire to fight for us and the results are evidence of this!!!!!

He got me probation when I could have received a 2 to 20 year sentence in the State Penetentiary. Then, I violated probation which in most cases would guarantee a trip to prison and Mr. Wohr worked hard to get me a light sentence in the County Jail and even continued working on my case to get me Work Release so I could be home for the Holidays and continue to earn a paycheck. One of the best, if not the best Criminal Defense Attorney in the Denton County, Texas area.

Mr. Wohr is a very hard working attorney who has his client's best interests at heart and will work tirelessly to get them the best possible results. Not to violate attorney-client privileges, but I would like to write about the time I was told by Mr. Wohr that I would have to receive a sentence of a few months in county jail and I offered him several thousand dollars to keep me out of jail. Mr. Wohr was honest with me and told me their was nothing further he could do to keep me from going to jail. The D.A. had already given us the best offer they were going to give us, so Mr. Wohr politely declined my monetary offer and I received a sentence of a few months in the county jail when I could have actually received a sentence of 2 years in the State Penetentiary. Then, after my sentence was handed out, Mr. Wohr continued to work on my case for no additional money and got me Work Release so I could be home for the Holidays. A less honest and less ethical attorney would have quickly taken my money and lied about keeping me out of jail and I still would have received the same jail sentence. What more can you ask for than an honest and hard working attorney? Mr. Wohr is clearly one of the best attorneys in Denton, Texas and I would strongly recommend him to anyone facing criminal charges in the Denton County area.

I have worked with Sara for almost the last year to relocate my custody order from Kentucky to Texas, as well as to create a more clear/solid order that protects my son. She is also a mom and possesses a true fighting spirit! She was strong when I was uncertain and helped me realize what is fair and right as the mother of my son. I must mention her paralegal, Lisa, as well. She’s such a kind woman and helped me out in a few tough situations when my ex wasn’t cooperating with our temporary agreement.

His prices are GOOD you get what you pay for and i would not go with any other attorney unless i could not afford him. He will fight till the end and does not go in the court room with out knowing 100 percent whats going on. He keeps good contact with his clients from seeing how your doing to your next court date. Hes a tough guy and may swear at you and tell you how you messed up and all but he goes into the court room the same way with out the swearing.

At the recommendation of a longtime friend and trusted attorney, we retained the services of Aubry Talkington in Denton. Within a brief period of time, she was able to resolve a damage claim which had proven impossible to settle in the months prior. The result was much better than we had anticipated, and the legal fees were exceptionally reasonable. There are times when there is no substitute for expert and professional legal assistance. We could not have asked for a better representation. I would highly recommend the firm of Springer & Lyle, and especially attorney Aubry Talkington. Having a team like this is very reassuring, and a wise choice.

Tony Ross was my attorney, as soon as he took my case I knew I am in good hands, he did listen to my story he understood every detail of it, he cared about me, this was the best feeling. I honestly think he is the best, he was born to do this, to help people , he will fight for you and make the best outcome, of course I did listen to him, and I gave him the information he needed, answered his questions because I knew he cares. Is hard to put it in words how he does it, but I guarantee you , he makes things better. Well, he my hero I have to say, he did a great job representing me.

If you want an attorney who will seek the best possible outcome for your case contact Suzanne Stevens ! She is the best attorney I have ever known bar none !! Be sure to read her plan process and goals on stevenstexaslaw.com. She made it work for me perfectly! She is available and reliable! I called some firms here who took my info and said they would contact me. I never got to talk to an attorney. I called Ms Stevens and was able to have a 20 + minute interview with her right away after hours. I was truly impressed with the interview and hired her the next day. She is an excellent and compassionate communicator and listener! I had an extensive and productive life and case story in her office. She wants to know you as well as your case and this sets her apart ! It leads to her precise defense plan for you. She had me relaxed and at ease right away. Instead of feeling like another number being processed for court I felt like I was joining a team! The defense plan she recommends to you gets you started on recovering in advance and shows the state and court you want to do the right thing. An excellent tool! Suzanne has great experience and knows the law thoroughly! Her preparation with you and the case facts gives her the tools to fight the case for you and work to mitigate the state’s case. She is very experienced in this court which is another good point ! She gives you an honest possible outcome both good and not so good so you are well prepared ! She is on call and text for you and assists you to case conclusion and afterwards. Personal service at its best ! I will not hire another attorney after working with Suzanne Stevens.m ! She has resolved my case fairly and relieved me of many months of worry and stress. I will not forget her and relax knowing she is there for me !! She deserves my highest recommendation !!

Years ago, as part of my divorce I granted my ex-wife the house that we bought together while married and she assumed responsibility for it. At some point she started paying her mortgage late and that eventually found its way to my credit report (some company called PHH). Since it had nothing to do with me, I disputed the account and submitted my divorce decree that clearly shows she assumed responsibility and I no longer have any interest in the house etc. the dispute was denied and come back verified. Frustrating since I had nothing to do with it but at the time I assumed I was stuck with it because in the eyes of creditors I was still on the hook for the debt (the house wasn’t refinanced out of my name at the time). There are several 180 days late and they are the only baddies left on my report. All this brought down my credit score to 522. I can’t thank PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST enough for taking my credit out of the garbage after my divorce. PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST has done such an amazing job to help me clear all the negative items and restore my credit score to 811. This company has been so professional and so amazing at keeping in touch with me every single step of the way. Explaining in detail exactly what needs to be done. Thank you PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST I will recommend their service to all my friends and family. Contact them via:

I got into some trouble in 2021, and the attorneys I had at the time kept dropping the ball. A friend of my recommended Attorney Suzanne Stevens and and she rescued me (literally). From the moment Suzanne took, she was there walking me through the trenches every step of the way. On the day I had to report to jail, she stayed in constant contact with my mom and even called to check up on me after my release (which was after hours). She has years of experience and is super knowledgeable of the legal system which put me at ease. I was able to turn my situation over to her and trust knowing that she was going to FIGHT the system for me. She does not cheat facts and is truthful about your situation and possible outcomes, which I greatly appreciated. Suzanne was RELIABLE. Attorneys have multiple caseloads at one time but any time I had a question or needed information she literally was just a text/call away. She never made me feel that I was just another case. There was even moment that time had elapsed (months) and even then I was able to reach out and she responded within the same day. GEM. That’s exceptional. Quality experience that you can trust. What she promised she DELIVERED and that says a lot. I’m happy to say that with Suzanne hard work and tenacity my case was dismissed! I can’t say thank you enough <3

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.
