I been through several lawyers before working with Brian Corrigan. The previous attorneys I consulted with not only failed to deliver on their promises, but I also felt like I was just another client to them. After dealing with that, I was hesitant to trust anyone again. But Brian completely changed my perspective. From the moment I met him, he was different. He took the time to listen to my situation thoroughly, explained everything in clear terms, and provided honest, realistic advice. I never felt like I was being taken advantage of, which had been my experience with others. Brian is not only highly knowledgeable and skilled, but he genuinely cares about getting the best outcome for his clients. His transparent communication, dedication, and commitment to my case were truly refreshing. If you’re looking for a lawyer who will actually fight for you, Brian Corrigan is the one you want.

Great - very straightforward with me about how things were going to work. He was a lil slow meeting me at the court house on some of my court dates...ok, really, really slow a few times...but i'm def not his only client, so I get that part. In the end, he was able to get several charges thrown out and got me on probation when I probably shouldn't have been. Overall very pleasant to work with & a pretty cool guy in general. Highly recommended.

Hired Mr. Wheeler to handle my divorce. It was a nasty divorce and a difficult one, but he got me a better deal than I ever imagined. While in the middle of the divorce, because I was a little messed up, I got a DWI. Mr. Wheeler worked with the DA to get me basically off while sternly instructing me that he wouldn't do this again and told me to get it together. I did and am turning my life around.

I received an arrest for a 3rd DUI. Needless to say I was at my wits end. There was no blame to go around, it was my fault. I was referred to Mr. Gray and was very fortunate for him to take my case on. Due to fact I was a Veteran, Mr. Gray was very familiar with the Veterans Court Program here in Rockwall County. He was actually a part of the Vet Court Team for some time. We agreed the Vet Court program was the best course of action. Mr. Gray worked closely with me to get me into the program. It was not an easy process. On my part, I was writing letters and Mr. Gray was in constant contact with the County DA. Needless to say, approximately 9 months later, I was accepted into the program. After two years in the program and successfully completing the rigorous requirements, my charges were expunged. None of this would have happened without Mr. Gray. If you find yourself in serious legal bind, and you feel like there is no hope, I would highly recommend reaching out to Mr. Greg Gray!

I've known G. David Smith for over a decade and he's my go to person when anything arises in business (yes, even though when it's outside his scope of practice). He's down to earth, makes you feel comfortable and his ethics are very high. He's a straight shooter and doesn't sugar coat it. His office is a very comfortable setting in a beautiful victorian house. He's knowledgeable and if he doesn't know something when it's out of his scope of work, he tells you and researches it. If it's not worth it, he will tell you to move on and take your bruise.

The Law Office of KC Ashmore deserves a 10 STAR Review. KC Ashmore got a serious traffic offense dismissed for me which saved me from a conviction and a an enormous insurance battle. This cab driver hit my car, crunched in the side and was trying to blame me for causing an accident where they were clearly at fault. The prosecutor would not budge until KC Ashmore, a highly skilled trial lawyer, let them know that we had witnesses and were completely ready to try the case before a jury. They talked to our witness, dismissed the case & charged the cab driver. Mr. Ashmore is very professional, well prepared for trial, promptly returns phone calls and is a tough Texas trial lawyer. He gets an A+++ in my book!

Probablemente si estás leyendo este review es porque estás considerando si tomar a Patrick short como tu abogado, te pido que te tomes el tiempo de leer sobre mi caso antes de tomar tu última decisión. Antes de trabajar con Patrick fui con una abogada para que me ayudara con mi caso, ella solamente me cobró una cantidad grande de dinero y no hizo absolutamente nada con mi caso, nunca se presentó a mis cortes y solo me pidió que firmara el trato que me estaban ofreciendo. Y fue después de eso que conocí a Patrick Short, el me demostró ser una mano amiga la cual me ayudó a salir de donde creí que no podría salir. hoy en día gracias a él mi caso fue dismiss y estoy libre de cualquier cargo. El además de ser un abogado que habla español e inglés es una persona sumamente profesional y justa. El es alguien en quien puedes confiar tu tiempo y tu dinero porque es honesto y realmente se preocupa por sus clientes de corazón. Yo respeto mucho a él y a su equipo que siempre me trataron de la mejor manera. También su secretaria Jackie es muy profesional y atenta a los detalles. Siempre les estaré agradecida porque no solo hicieron un increíble trabajo en el caso, también me dieron paz y tranquilidad. Si eres latino viviendo en Estados Unidos no dudes en contratar a Patrick el habla perfecto español y es sumamente profesional. Lo recomiendo con el corazón.

If he did not at least I'll have a 30 minute consultation and have a legal advice and pay my fees and he'll probably recommend me with somebody else

First, in the consultation he will tell you he does not charge for phone or email conversations about the case, but when you get the bill the chargers were all there. We spoke about things in the consultation that he said he would do and were possible. Then once he was hired and he did not do them and they were suddenly not a good idea. Sometimes he took days and multiple calls to return a call or email. His office told me the wrong time to show up for court! It took me pushing and pushing him to get things done. His office filed the paperwork wrong with the court and delayed me getting my child support. I had to call to find out what the problem was and when I told him and his staff about it, they insisted what the court clerk had told me was wrong!! Then once everything is said and done, if you have a question about the paperwork he prepared (because he absolutely will not explain it well), he will not answer questions and will tell you he is too busy! I’ve dealt with a few lawyers previously and have never believed in the lawyer “rat” stereotype until I dealt with Michael. All around a horrible experience.

Everyone in this firm should be tested again to ensure they know the law. They will get defeated by a divorce for dummies handbook if the other side pulls out a reimbursement claim or a random 100K sadness fee (not making this up, they didn't know how to defend random fees the other side was putting in). They will take you to slaughter, charge you tens of thousands of dollars for work they didn't do and preparation they didn't do, and end up with literally the clothes on your back in the end. This firm has many complete losses on their record, in a community property and equitable outcome state they are okay with 99%/1% rather than 50/50 if they don't like you. Imagine paying a lawyer for a 99/1 outcome - they should close down this sham of an office so more Texans don't get hurt by their incompetence. This is a team of paper pushers who pay for online reviews and fake magazine articles to boost their scam, better hope you don't have a contested divorce or you are doomed.

My family recently was facing a huge challenge to keep our family together. Kim Timpa was a life saver in helping my family overcome a huge obstacle. The reviews I am reading could not be further from the truth given our recent experience. Our family is definitely a family on a budget and we were very concerned with being able to find competent representation in our legal challenge. Without the help of Kim Timpa at what was a very reasonable rate I have no doubt our family would have been separated. Keep in my mind our case was outside of her Rockwall roots and she still kicked a** Kim always took our calls and returned any messages promptly. In fact when it comes to having an investment in a case I can not recall having a more caring and knowledgeable attorney. Do not let the bitter reviews deter you from considering Kim Timpa for representation. It could cost you much more than money.

A good attorney will respect your time and money, Jack does neither. He purposely encouraged discord and promoted drama, stoking the flames speaking to the opposing party on our dime. He ate up our fees with nonsense instead of filing the orders necessary to protect our estate. Jack ignored calls to take action, forgetting to file motions or waiting until the next billing cycle. He had a habit of not receiving court documents only to find out later they had been. There is NO WAY an attorney doesn't receive information that has been filed by the courts due to the checks and balances put in place. Jack entertained the opposing party where he should have been focusing on our needs. He failed to cross exam the opposing party that would have clearly proven our case of how incompetent the opposing team was. Due to his lack of attention, lack of ability to fight for us, and his inability to stand up in court to make a strong presence we were totally railroaded. Just look at his other reviews and you will see this is an issue with this attorney. Attorney's make money by how much time they spending on a case and this attorney lined his pockets with all talk and no action. Avoid this attorney at all cost.

We hired Jack for a custody case, we ended up spending $4500 and he did NOTHING. We let him withdraw as our lawyer and found someone else. Jack seems to get easily irritated when you ask any questions, he is NOT informed or up to date on things, he told us standard visitation was 45 days and we found out it is actually 42. He messed up on our discovery responses, and at one point in an email to the courts and opposing parties lawyer had the child’s name wrong. He was very back and forth on things and not very helpful. All he cared about was when he was getting more money, he didn’t actually give a care about his client or the situation and did not fight at all for anything.

Do not hire this a$$hole unless you want to pay for two lawyers. One lawyer (Cameron) to sit on his fat a$$ and collect money, the other lawyer to actually represent you.

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.
