I was referred to Buckley Patterson after my car accident by our insurance adjuster. I was hesitant at first about getting an attorney because of my tendency to "lean away" from confrontation. John was very warm and able to empathize with me while at the same time helping me feel safe to look at the bigger picture. John is very relatable, has outstanding knowledgeable about procedure, and most notably, he checked in with me regularly about the case and made sure I was prepared before each proceeding. He maintains a strong personal work ethic.
I would feel great recommending them to all my friends and family in the future.

I was referred to Buckley Patterson by someone that works with them while at my barber. I decided to give them a try after I couldn't get a hold of the insurance company myself... best decision I could have ever made. John and Phillip made this process so smooth and easy for me. They explained the whole process every step of the way and were constantly in contact. I never had to deal with anyone else just directly with them. If you are looking for an injury attorney I highly recommend them. Just jump on a call with John and once you see how well he explains everything you'll feel as comfortable as I did having them represent you.

Having chosen Buckley Patterson to represent my case has to had been one of the best decisions I could’ve made. Very professional, very informative and very patient with all of my questions I’ve had throughout. For someone new to this experience, like myself, Buckley Patterson are the Go To’s as they explain every detail, know every step on what’s to come and for the peace-of-mind knowing I could trust them to take care of everything! Highly highly recommend to friends and family and to everyone else for the best experience!

There are not enough words for me to describe the wonderful defense work of Mr. Wolf and his team. The case involved a DWI conviction of a family member with disabilities. Mr. Wolf and his defense team took the time to listen to our plea and then explain what he believed to be the outcome. It was this person's first offense and he had little understanding of the law. Mr. Wolf worked with the prosecution to make them understand these circumstances. The punishment lead to a small fine and a class to make the understanding clear to my family member that DWI was not to be tolerated. Case closed and we can now move on with life. Thank you Jason Wolf and Team!!! Highly highly recommended!

JASON WOLF is phenomenal…and gets results …. He got my sons aggravated robbery case dismissed in record time along with an old misdemeanor case as well… He did an amazing job explaining the process to me in terms I could definitely understand, he was very responsive to my phone calls & text… If you are in need of an attorney, I would definitely hire Jason, because he is knowledgeable, affordable, and worth every penny…

Good Lawyer. He did his job. I was accused of exposing myself, and was too emotional and murderous to handle it myself. He charged a reasonable fee, prevented me from folding to just get it over with, and got all charges dismissed. The "witness did not answer the phone" he informed me.

Honestly one of the best lawyers I’ve met, she was able to help me win my case and I didn’t had to step in court not once. She was also very clear and straight forward with what she could do and from the start gave me that feeling of being in the right hands. Definitely would recommend her!

To say I had a complicated divorce would be the understatement of the century. Yet Brent took my case head on and fought harder than any attorney I had used prior to him. He always made sure to listen, hone in on the details and actually take action. His knowledge of the law is impeccable and in one particular instance, within two days of hiring him at that, he used that knowledge of the law to stop a situation happening.
Even after moving hours away now, I will never use another lawyer again. I truly mean that.
If you need someone GOOD and that actually cares in your corner, HE is the guy. 10/10 recommend!!!!
Thank you again, Brent!

I am a resident of San Antonio and I had a case of mistaken identity involving somebody that attorney Brent Huckabay represented. without requiring a retainer the guy took time out of his own day to help me get a really difficult situation resolved. There’s not that many attorneys out there that would listen and help somebody in a jam without a retainer or some kind of a exchange; the guy is a class act!

I have seen firsthand how well Josh does his job. He is definitely the attorney that I recommend to anybody who needs a criminal defense attorney. He pays attention to your case specifically no matter how many other clients he may have at the time and goes above and beyond what you would expect from an attorney. He knows the law and he takes your case seriously and does his best to get it dismissed. I’ve hired him personally and have had several friends hire him as well and not one of us has ever had a complaint about how he does his job. Thanks Josh! Also his paralegal Lilly is the best for years she’s kept up with all of Josh’s clients and she is super helpful not with an attitude like most paralegals when you call their office. Thanks Lilly!

Josh Webber is hands down, far above any other attorney I have ever experienced. The man is ON POINT. He knows his stuff, his operation runs well, and if you do what he tells you to do, you WILL get the best outcome you can get. This man has gone above and beyond to look out for me and strategize the court defense and I will never forget how well I was treated and know he did his best to defend me. This man knows how these courts work, he knows how his opposition handles things, he clearly advises you on how to best manage your case, and in a few weeks I will get to see what I really hired him for. He has a reputation of truly enjoying jamming up cops on the stand and using the established case law to hold them to account for your rights and freedom.

He's straight to the point. Took care of a felony charge and got it taken down to a misdemeanor. Over the past year Mr. Solis has fought for me to have the best outcome. I was on an ankle monitor and he was able to help me get to my grandmother funeral in Hawaii. I'm so glad he was available to hire. I trusted the right man with my case.

I was referred to Mr. Corbett by a couple of my close friends. I can tell you I was not disappointed! He was great and I could not recommend him more! His prices were much better than anyone else I had spoken to before. He took care of all of the court dates for my misdemeanor and got it dismissed, all for $500! He was always there on time and always reached out when I called in a timely manner. Mr. Corbett was an awesome lawyer! Thank you sir!

I found David and one of my darkest parts of my life and from the jump he believed me when no one would listen to my side of the story. He worked day and night to make sure we went over every fact we could about my case, on top of everything he kept me in the loop of what was happening in court even when we weren't scheduled to be there. He never left me confused or questioning what was to happen. All around great guy and hard working definitely deserves more than 5 stars.

I hired David Cunningham to be my lawyer. This was one of the darkest chapters in my life. I was accused of a crime I did not commit. I have always been a law abiding person. He listened to what I had to say and reviewed my case and from the start explained everything in perfect detail. He calmed me when I was freaking out. He treated me with respect and dignity and handled my case absolutely perfect. I was exonerated and resumed my life as if this incident never occurred. I am so grateful I hired Mr Cunningham and could not be happier with the experience and expertise he exhibited during time in the court room. I would rate him a solid 100 out of 100 for excellence in his work. Thank you so Mr Cunningham I will forever be grateful for your service.

I had the privilage of working with attorney Geoffrey Puryear and his team, Kevin Garcia, and Camila Montoya on my son's case. I am incredibly grateful for their outstanding representation. From our initial consultation and throughout the entire process they were nothing short of exceptional. Geoffrey Puryear demonstrated a deep understanding of the law always giving a clear explanation of the legal process, putting our minds at ease during the most challenging time. The entire team was professional, supportive, and went above and beyond to ensure we felt informed and supported throught the entire process. Their dedication and expertise were evident in the outcome of my son's case. I highly recommend Geoffrey Puryear and his team, Kevin Garcia, and Camila Montoya. Thank you for everything you have done for us.

Geoffrey and Justin and all of the folks at Coffer and Connelly took great care of me and my case. I was wrongfully accused of criminal trespassing, criminal mischief, and there was a threat of charging me with assaulting a police officer. The day that these alleged crimes occurred was the worst day of my life.
I was tased (twice), beaten, and zip tied by APD in my own front yard.
When I was alerted to the potential of a warrant being issued for my arrest, I consulted and then hired Geoffrey and the Coffer Connelly team.
Under Geoffrey and Justins guidance, we allowed my warrant to go through so that Geoffrey and Justin could work with the prosecution to prove my innocence. ( I was nervous about this strategy, but I had faith in their experience) The lead detective on the case was adamant that I was the one who committed the criminal trespass and criminal mischief.
Ultimately- Geoffrey and Justin handled everything. I didn’t have a single conversation with any of the APD staff, even when they continued to call me and attempted to incriminate me over the phone.
Geoffrey and Justin managed to prove that I was in fact, not- the criminal who committed those crimes, by way of my facial hair. (The other guy that the prosecuting team had a photo of, didn’t have the sweet facial hair that I have)
The charges were dropped and the firm is currently working to have the charges completely expunged from my record.
When sh*t happens and you need an understanding lawyer that treats the law “like art and less of a science”- hire this firm. Justin (the ex-APD chief (I think)) did an amazing job consolidating the facts to ease the process of having the charges dropped. Geoffrey and Justin were very understanding of my terrible experience and supported me along the way. We even had a few laughs over zoom! Justin even allowed me to personally call him a few times for guidance when APD wouldn’t leave me alone.
Having Justin on the team is a real ace in hand. His experience and connections with APD made him incredibly valuable throughout the process.
While I don’t intend to get wrapped up in any other criminal nonsense, if I did- I wouldn’t think twice about calling Geoffrey and Justin and the team at Coffer and Connelly.
I highly recommend this firm. 10/10. Do recommend. So what are you waiting for? Better get that retainer in before they have too many clients to take you on!

And these other reviews I've read about her being an angel is exactly what she is. I had a DWI it was my 7th she got me the best deal. I have been through horrible domestic violence situation where HPD did not stand up for me or help me I had not drank any alcohol in years and I believe I was in a spot where I felt no one was helping me with the domestic violence and I turned back to alcohol and a bad situation. She made no excuses for my act but she also helped me And I will be forever grateful for her because this could have been the worst possible situation the last DWI I had had was in 2009 and this was 2022 when this happened. She is an angel and she is the best representative for anybody facing criminal charges where there are other situations that need to be told to the court to help you and she is that person

She is a Beast if not a Monster in her expertise of law. She is a angle sent by GOD to protect and help HIS people who are disenfranchised and vulnerable. I am so glad and happy there are people like her in this cruel world. Over 20 years ago she help me get a case dismissed that would have ruined my career when I was in medical school. Because she allows GOD to use her I have been able to practice medicine with Double Board Certification in a Director role for over 12 years now. Thank you GOD for transcending Ms. IRVIN heart to led her to help and protect your people.

We understand what we need to prepare for and are looking forward to Harun’s help and services to go through the process.

Let me start by saying Jesus met me on the day I was to accept a DWI plea. My attorney I hired couldn’t make it so Jesus met me there. Upon reading the conditions my attorney negotiated Jesus advised me that if I was his client he wouldn’t feel comfortable allowing me to sign it. He then negotiated with the prosecutor and got me a much better deal. Saved me $5,000 in fines and a lesser charge. He did all of this without billing me a dollar. I am so grateful and would recommend him to anyone who is facing criminal charges in Dallas.

I was arrested for manufacturing a dangerous drug MDMA greater than 400 grams. It was 4 probes one for the MDMA and one for the money laundering all over the world 130 people were arrested in
16 us cities and Canada , and charged with the RICO Act. They gave me 490 months. I paid Chuck for my appeal. The only thing holding my part of the RICO was the manufacturing of the ecstasy as I was the only Chemist producing (allegedly) one million five hundred thousand pills daily. Mr. Johnson did a investigation from all angles and found the search warrant they used to find the only piece of evidence was a plain sight warrant and on video you could clearly see them remove part of a wall to get to the 5 Rubbermaid storage containers that were all full of MDMA powder unpressed. This proved Illegal search and siezure and I walked away a free man.

Charles Johnson was referred buy an extremely good mutual friend and lawyer. I was in a dire situation. In which I got myself involved in and because of being a naïve person that I am wants to help everybody. I fell into a very very detrimental situation that seemed impossible to get out of. With that being said, and a short version of a long story. I was doing a favor to help two people out not getting any compensation in return. I had gotten myself in the most detrimental situation I could have ever imagined I would’ve ever faced in my lifetime. I did not realize at the time the crime that I had committed was a serious felony and I was facing 10 to life. My Father Came into town to post my bond and did his research in finding me the best criminal attorney that could represent my case and that was, Mr. Charles Johnson. I cannot thank him enough for all of the hard work he did regarding my case. Mr. Johnson went above and beyond to work on my case and got me eight years deferred adjudication, 40 hours of Community service. With only a $2000 fine for this felony crime that seemed impossible to conquer. Mr. Johnson handled the court room like he owned it. He put up a fight from hell and he was determined to win and so he did. I could never thank him enough for taking my case and fighting for me till the very end. It was a huge triumph. I highly recommend Mr. Charles Johnson if you are in a dire situation and in need of a criminal lawyer to represent you. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND MR. CHARLES JOHNSON. Mr. Johnson will not lose a fight he will go above and beyond for you. Thank you..........

My name's Joseph, I was battling a felony probation violation after catching a new misdemeanor. I was in jeopardy of being revoked,& sent back to prison... The court appointed lawyer I was appointed told me EVERY SINGLE TIME that we met at a court hearing, that the D.A was not trying to re- Instate me for any reason... He tried to have me sign for 8 yrs TDC.. THEN 5.. I REFUSED.. Then after doing research on different lawyers, Ms. Johnson's credentials & history stood out.. Once I spoke to Rosie, Ms Johnson's secretary, she was professional & precise! Ms. Johnson reached out to me in mins! She said shed' call back after reviewing my cases.. long story short.. She kept me fully informed, She refused to fall short... And She FOUGHT FOR ME! Misdemeanor was dismissed & I been re-instated to my probation! God bless Ms. Johnson! If you are in need of Counsel, DO NOT PASS HER UP! 5 STARS 5 & a 10 out of 10...…!

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.

A few years ago, I was in legal trouble because of am issue that took place when i was 18y/o, 7 years later I applied for a passport to go on vacation not knowing that I was going to receive a letter in the mail stating that I had a warrant for my arrest. 27 y/o never have i ever been in any legal problems. The following day i went to visit Mr. Joseph Gallo. My mother and I sat down in front of him and showed him the letter i received. The next day Mr. Gallo called us to come back into his office and explained what the charges were. I was terrified! I never been in any type of criminal trouble and I didn't know what was going to happen or what to expect. He explain to me that I didn't have to stress so much nor did i have to be scared, that he was going to take care of me and that’s exactly what he did. He stood by me the entire time and made sure that I understood everything that was going on. The day came that i had to turn myself in. I was only supposed to go in and come right back out but for some reason i didnt , 4 hrs later i see him and my mom walking towards a glass window and him looking a little upset. The guards let him back and he asked why i was still seating there waiting and not being released yet, next thing you know i was being released.

Well, i got stopped and accused of dui. Went to jail and the first thing i did when i got out was too look for the best lawyer in Ellis County. I asked around for recommendations and i kept hearing Joe's name.
There i go to meet Mr. Gallo. The first thing Joe told me was that if i hire him that my problems become his and i have nothing to worry about. We talked for about a hour and that was it.
Joe took my case and worked every single angle available. We met a couple of times, we went to court a couple of times, and then we had the dismissal for evidence court date. If anybody can imagine, that was the big one and this can make it or break it. Joe seen something in the video that he told me was going to pressure the state into a rock and a hard place. Well he was right and my case got dismissed.. WAAAA LAAAAA, just like he called it .. DISMISSED.
Joe effort's and my dismissal gave me back my life.. i had my career on the line as well as future ventures riding on this dismissal and Joe got it dismissed. Thank You Joe, i have no words on how to thank you ... Joe and his team are the way too go if someone gets in a situation like mine.

My first consult with Mr. Gallo was back in March. I got charged with a class A misdemeanor the night I got arrested (March 8, 2019) The first time I met with Mr. Gallo he went over every and all options with me, he explained everything and answered all my questions before I could even ask any. Through out this journey a long and dreadful 7 months later (after my court date kept being reset) I get a call, text and an email from Mr. Gallo to give me the great news that my case was dismissed!! I was in such disbelief I just couldn’t even believe it I had been preparing myself for a long probation and been saving up a lot of money for this. He even brought my dismissal paper up to my job and hand delivered it! He is by far, hands down the BEST lawyer I could’ve hired.

He recommended I take the deal, which I did. But I remember very well he added if I did 2 years of the 5 years’ probation he would work to get me released sooner. Inside, I didn’t believe that would happen and he wasn’t being honest. But 2 years later to the date he followed through, and I was released from probation. And what a relief. Not being worried all the time. Yes, I had things to do on my end to make that happen. But I go to enough AA meetings and hear of similar offers people get and their lawyers do not follow through. Even when the person does their part. That is why I was lucky (grateful) to have him. That look he gave me in my eyes was sincere, even though at the time I wasn’t believing it.

Ryan was such a god-send to us when my minor daughter found herself in an unfortunate legal situation that could have had serious repercussions for her future. From the beginning, Ryan made us feel more calm and in-control of the situation. He was always available when there was a new development in the case, or we had questions. He also did a great job communicating with my daughter and making sure she understood the situation and what was expected of her. Ryan knew all the players and was able to negotiate the best outcome that we could have hoped for. We are so thankful to have had Ryan on our side during this stressful time.

Mr. Hall guided me through every step of my first DWI offense. I didn’t lose my license and didn’t have to go to court. He initiated an alternative to get me in the pre-trial diversion program.
Mr. Hall was very involved with me through the whole process. He was only a phone call away if I had any questions or concerns. I would highly recommend you contact him if you find yourself involved in a DWI case. He is very experienced and will handle your case with your best interests in mind.
Highly recommended!

Mr Hall worked with me for over two years to resolve this case. He worked tirelessly and never left me with any questions regarding my case and was willing to talk me through every step and every option along the way.
He was able to keep me driving throughout the process, which was a must. As the case progressed, he worked tirelessly to get advantageous motions passed that eventually resulted in The State filing for a motion to dismiss.
I was recommended to his firm by someone else who he worked for and couldn't be happier with my results.
If you need help with a DWI related case, I couldn't recommend Mr Hall enough.

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:
-
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. -
What is your fee structure?
Ask how the lawyer charges for their services and whether you’ll be responsible for any additional costs. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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.
