I never thought I would be someone who was in any legal trouble or would ever even need to hire a lawyer to defend myself, but when a felony arrest blindsided me Mr. Silverman and his team worked hard and got my case dismissed. I’m very grateful to everyone there, especially Sonia who helped keep my family and I up to date with anything going on in the case.

From the moment I was put in touch with him, Mr. Salinas handled my case as if it was one of his top priorities. Any time I had questions about the annoying and confusing process that I was having to go through, he was right there with me to offer great advice, both legal and personal, so that my case wasn't such a burden on me. He was able to get my case dismissed much faster than anyone else predicted, too. Many people told me 3-6 months of headache, and now I'm fully in the clear after only 2 months! I would recommend him to anyone!

Testimonial for Gerard Lynch
from David McAllister
August 29, 2024
On April 25th 2009 while working as a public school teacher I suffered a massive double stroke. After getting out of the hospital I tried to go back to work and was told I was too sick to remain with the Fort Worth Independent School District and was terminated on April 15th 2010. While talking about my situation with my family doctor she told me I should immediately file for disability. While looking for legal representation from a law firm experienced with Social Security disability I came across the Law Office of Gerard Lynch Social Security Disability Lawyer. When I called the law office I had a very helpful and reassuring three and a half hour conversation with Gerard Lynch. He called Social Security and verified that I met all the criterion for filing for disability.
Gerard told me I was within weeks of qualifying but still met the requirements. He told me that it would probably take 18 to 24 months of hearings to receive disability. Gerard told me to be patient but he was certain in the end that I would win. On November 2nd 2012, nineteen months after filing I received a fully favorable decision from Social Security. Everything worked out just a Gerard assured me it would.
Thanks,
David McAllister

I was recommended to Looney, Smith and Conrad by a lifelong friend and I am so glad that I did. I had a misdemeanor assault case and they handled my case very professionally. I had 100% confidence in their readiness to go to trial on my behalf. My case was dismissed and now I can go on with my life unimpeded. I highly recommend Lonney, Smith and Conrad for your legal needs and If I ever need them again I know where to go. Thank you for giving me my life back!

Non fake review. I also have paperwork I can load with pictures that I was a client if this were to get denied. I should have placed this review long time ago. They dropped the ball on my case I paid a lot of money for them to only lose the evidence on court day. They simply said there’s nothing we can do. In his video he explains how he likes to get people and court while there defenses are low. That is an accurate description of how they act when they can’t/ couldn’t win against the court. they take the same approach to their customers after that. If they’re willing to fix this problem without additional cost to myself I’d be glad to change the review.

I Will say this. This attorney is very professional and knowledgeable in his work. I won’t go into detail of the case however I will explain in short how Mr.Simmons handled the case. First I want to state that I could not afford to hire him. He worked with me and accepted payments…being low income this really helped me out and I’ve since payed about half of the agreed upon amount; the case(s) are already over with. I will make sure he gets every last penny he earned. I digress, anywho, I hired him for two separate charges…both being the same. And my bond got revoked. Regardless I boned out again, before the week was finished my case was over with. I sighed. Before I hired Mr.Simmons I was fighting the case to no avail with the court appointed attorney and I was basically being rest for about a year and a half….thats when I caught the second charge. Again….I layered up, and he got one of the charges dropped. I would recommend him to anyone in need of an attorney. 10/10 stars if I was able to give them.

Attorney Lansden is that rare nexus of honesty, empathy and transparency for her clients and "pitbull tenacity" on their behalf. I have worked with other legal representatives and been disappointed by their lack of motivation and aggression so I had lowered my expectations. Attorney Lansden has restored my faith in the adversarial legal system and the concept of a legal champion on behalf of the wronged.

Let’s start with the short version:
•I was stopped by police in the early morning hours on a Saturday and arrested in Harris County for a first-offense DWI.
•I hired Mr. Ruiz on Wednesday morning ahead of a Friday court hearing.
•On Friday morning, Mr. Ruiz walked into the courtroom and used his extensive knowledge of DWI law, resulting in my case being DISMISSED!!
Bottom line: In 3 days, he had my case dismissed!
More detail:
Mr Ruiz is experienced—18 years of specializing in criminal defense and DWI law; his fees are very reasonable for his caliber—you won’t find a tried-and-true superstar lawyer at his rates in Harris or surrounding counties; he is a true professional who understands his clients’ stress and aims to communicate with you as needed.
If you’ve never needed a lawyer of any kind before, you should know that there are lawyers who are in it for financial gain, but have little to no heart invested in what they do; that’s not Joseph Ruiz. He loves what he does, and he cares about his client’s lives and future.
Hire him. You won’t regret it!

I found myself in an unfortunate situation facing a felony and a misdemeanor charge both of which were my first criminal offenses. Initially I didn’t know where to turn; so I googled Criminal Attorney Houston, Texas. I called dozens of attorney’s on the list but none of them made me feel confident they could get both charges dismissed, additionally almost all wanted to charge me upwards of $25,000 or more for both cases.
Thankfully I came across Mr. Joseph Ruiz! I read all his 5 star reviews of previous clients testimony and like me they faced serious charges that Mr. Ruiz was able to get dismissed!
Today I write this review to add my own testimony to the list. As of today my felony and misdemeanor charges have both been DISMISSED!!!!!!!
I am glad I trusted Mr. Ruiz through this process. He treated me like a human being during my unimaginable ordeal, he has restored my reputation, and has given me my life back.
I am forever grateful to Mr. Ruiz. He makes it look so easy upfront, but behind closed doors he is advocating on your behalf fighting your battles in court and coming out victorious!
There’s no better lawyer than Mr. Ruiz! His fees are affordable (he gave me a discount and allowed a payment plan). His service is impeccable. I can not recommend Mr. Ruiz more! Mr. Ruiz thank you for your unrelenting work ethic and for helping me get the best outcome for my cases.

I had to find an attorney for a mutual client in another state on a Saturday. I left several messages for different attorneys and was pleasantly surprised when Joe immediately called me back. He showed great professional courtesy to me as a fellow attorney as well as his new client. His performance on the case was stellar. Of course, all cases are different, but in this instance he obtained a dismissal for the client and she didn't have to appear in court after initial appearance!

Client testimonials are often the quickest and most reliable way to assess an attorney if you don’t have the time to dive deeply into their credentials. What are people saying about them, both in the short term and historically? That's why I wanted to take the time to speak about Amy Dunn. I first wrote a positive review for her back in 2019, highlighting her approach to clients and the way she handles cases.
Well, five years later, I’m happy to say that my opinion of Amy has only grown stronger. She has not only met but exceeded the high expectations I have of an attorney, both in terms of my personal observations and through some legal work she has consulted on for me. You don’t often find this level of relationship-building in the client-business dynamic. Even when the line between personal connection and professional duties begins to blur, Amy remains focused on your best interests. She has a unique way of making you feel supported—almost like a close friend would—by standing in the gap and extending a lifeline when it’s needed most. While she remains professional, her genuine concern for her clients creates a sense of trust and security that’s rare in the attorney-client relationship.
Whatever your legal needs may be, whether seeking her counsel or even asking for a referral in an area she doesn’t specialize in, I would trust Amy wholeheartedly. She doesn’t embody the stereotypical "jet-flying, limousine-riding" lawyer persona. Instead, she practices law with a sense of purpose grounded in principles of servant and transformational leadership. These beliefs empower her to uphold the oaths she swore upon becoming an attorney, making it a moral obligation to conduct herself with integrity and civility.
Amy navigates the courts and communicates with all parties with dignity, independence, and humanity. She never rejects the cause of those who are defenseless, oppressed, or aggrieved, regardless of the magnitude of their cases. Her clients know that their struggles are seen, understood, and championed.
In short, Amy Dunn is a rare and exceptional attorney whose commitment to her clients goes far beyond the legal work itself—it is deeply personal and rooted in her values.

I moved to Houston in April, and my welcome was " being hit from behind, while at a red light ".
I was recommended an attorney that would later prove to have absolutely no integrity leaving me no choice accept to release him and search for a new attorney.
Best decision I ever made was to retain Attorney Todd White!
His demeanor is a quiet one, not to be mistaken for weakness. Mr. White showed me great and immediate assistance. His staff definitely represents him well. My experience with his employees was one that made me feel like a family member. Warm ,caring and professional.
Mr. White was able to pick up where the other attorney left off from and literally resolved my case in less than 30 days! And is currently still fighting for MORE!
If you need a sincere and trustworthy attorney, I highly recommend him! Also, while going through a rough spot, Mr. White allowed me to vent, without charge. Lol. Boy, did I vent, while he showed me compassion as he listened. That is a quality is one that not all Lawyers possess when it's only about money.
Thank you Mr.White!

I recently had an informative telephone consultation with Attorney Todd White, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From the moment the call began, he was incredibly professional and attentive. Attorney White took the time to listen to my concerns and answered all of my questions in a clear and concise manner.
What impressed me most was his in-depth knowledge of the law and his ability to explain complex legal concepts in an understandable way. I felt reassured and well-informed by the end of our conversation. Attorney White provided me with valuable insights and practical advice that I can use moving forward.
Overall, I highly recommend Attorney White of The White Law Firm for anyone seeking legal advice. The level of expertise and the personalized attention I received made all the difference. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Nicole is one of the best. I feel insanely fortunate to have had her represent me, along with all of the other wonderful and talented attorneys working at this firm.
Edit: The previous review was sent from my phone and I feel it does not do justice to how much this firm has helped me. Nicole and her team worked diligently to help me navigate the complex legal framework and achieve a result that, from everything I was able to find, is the most ideal outcome I could have received. If it weren't for her amazing levels of skill, talent, and laundry list of experience, I would wager that what she does must be in the realm of magic. At times I was uncertain about what was happening, only to later learn how much she was doing in the background for me. Her team was always polite and courteous and it always felt as though she truly had my best interest at heart. After the nightmare finally being over, I know that this was not simply a feeling. She is an absolute force to be reckoned with and I can only thank my lucky stars to have ended up with her.

I would like to be clear that Nicole was appointed to me by the court system. Despite being one of the best attorneys in the state, she dedicates her time to help those who can not afford it. She is a truly kind and genuine person who clearly seeks the best in those she comes in contact with. After dealing with the Federal criminal justice system, her efforts were able to give me a second chance. I could never fully express how grateful I am to have had her help. Whenever I would drop her name, everyone knew who she was and would always follow it with, "she's one of the best." I don't personally believe in a higher power, but after how fortunate I was to have had her represent me, I am starting to reconsider it.

Mr. Adamo came highly recommended from a prominent Houston lawyer. He is "the lawyer that lawyers hire". He successfully had my charges dismissed and so I also recommend him now.
I was arrested and charged with a felony when a dog sniffed my car and found a few edibles and a THC oil pen. This was in small county in west Texas and my chances of dismissal did not look promising.
Mr. Adamo and his team were able to get the felony charges completely dismissed.
Thanks to Mr. Adamo I still have a promising career to look forward to.

I faced a criminal charge that called for an experienced lawyer. I didn't plan on finding a compassionate one too. ADAMO/ADAMO is all about winning and they set about doing just that.

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.

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.
