I came to Mr. Carters office and he had me explain what happened, how we got here, and what’s next etc. He was able to keep me ahead of the ball on some situations and helped me to progress in the process with no hang ups. With his many years as a defense attorney, he has a heavy reputation and everyone knows him and he knows everyone. Lastly, the element I take away is that each visit he had some insightful wisdom and a lesson to be learned for what had been done.

Mr Carter handled our DWI case with the utmost professionalism and really cared about the outcome. He and his staff kept my son updated and on track for completing milestones and this was all during 20-21 debacle. Our family can’t thank him and his staff enough for helping us through it all.

Mr. Carter was referred to me from a good friend who I've known for a while and it was by far the best referral I could ever have gotten. Don fought for me as if he was my own father. He got me more than I would have ever expected. I've dealt with many lawyers in past and most of them were trash even after paying them good money. Don has been at this business a long time and it shows in the courtroom. He gets much respect from the judges and prosecutors and trust me that goes a long ways. If your in need of a good lawyer who will fight for you and is not all about money then look no further than Mr. Carter and his assistant Celia! I couldn't be more happy with the results.

Josh is a passionate attorney who zealously represents his clients. He assisted us in reaching a favorable resolution when a larger company would have otherwise ignored and tried to bully us into bearing thousands of dollars of losses for that company’s mistake. Highly recommend and would hire him again in a heartbeat.

To be honest, I have not dealt with many attorneys. However, Mr. Rentz was amazing. I called him with some basic questions about my son's case. He returned my call immediately. He allowed me to ask some basic questions and gave me answers I understood. His understanding of the law and Denton County were very helpful and informative. I would recommend Mr. Rentz to anyone who needs an attorney.

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.

My husband got a DWI while we were on vacation north of Dallas. Mr. Rentz helped me get him out of jail, keep my husband's license and ultimately got my husband's case handled in a mostly painless manner. He really seemed to understand the justice system and knew the people he was dealing with. Call him if you need help!

As a former client of Griffith and Associates I made the right choice. Before I chose thus firm I called one other firm, they said: "You need Mark Griffith" I called a second firm, again same answer. I calked an out of Ellis county firm, they said: "We know Ellis county, it's a tight bunch there" and they declined. I breath the air as I heard "Not Gyilty" after nearly 3 and a half years of torment by Ellis county officials at all levels. But Mark Griffith and his entire group believed me and believed in me. It's the toughest pain I have ever had to endure, my family had to endure having to resign myself to aid of this nature and magnitude. But, without one witness to my defense, Mark Griffith, his associates, staff and investigators exposed Ellis county, the State of Texas vs (______) for what it was. Lie after lie after lie, but they are immune and have licence to do it. Mark, as proffessional and ethical lawyer that he is never ever disrespected the court. Abd in doing so the jury saw through the State's shallow behavior. If you find yourself in the pit and need a criminal lawyer, don't think twice and consult with Mark D. Griffith, he's your man!!

I hired Mr. Griffith to defend me for a case where I was wrongfully accused, I lost my home and almost my freedom, he knew I was telling the truth and promised to fight for me 100%, and that's just what he did. He gave me back my freedom, although me loosing my home is another issue, he did make all of this go away. The case was "no billed" and my case was over, I could get my life somewhat back to normal. He is by far the best attorney I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone in need of a defense attorney. He wont stop fighting for you and he will give his all to your case. He is one of a kind attorney.

I found myself in unexpected trouble and was paralyzed with fear of the unknown. I met with Mr. Carsey and he helped settle my mind about the process and possible outcome. I expected that meeting with an attorney would be rigid and dry, but John was very comforting and clearly cared about the outcome of my case. It was nice to know that I wasn't just a file that was being shuffled around the legal system, I actually had a lawyer who cared personally about the outcome and fought for a better than expected outcome.

My experiences with the Deck Law Firm have been nothing short of excellence in action. I initially engaged the Deck Law Firm on a tax issue many years ago and through Tyler's work received a favorable outcome. Last year I had my first interaction with Williamson County and was arrested on a DWI. My first time ever in jail and first DWI charge. Very much a life changing event even at 50+ as well as my employment in the transportation industry. My first call was to the Deck Law Firm and Ryan Deck specifically for this case. He personally called me back, asked very specific questions of course and then talked me through the process we would be going forward with. Ryan's Paralegal team of Nikki and Lillian were both top notch in sharing information and advising me of Ryan's instructions to complete certain steps in advance of our initial court date as well as all follow up court dates and needed information for us all to be successful. Meeting Ryan in person and watching him command attention in the court room setting is most impressive when you compare him to other lawyers present in a court room setting. His experience, knowledge of the system and personality is a winning combination for anyone needing help through a DWI experience. Follow all of his instructions and let Ryan and his team work for you and you will definitely get the most favorable outcome from the court system. I would have zero hesitation whatsoever in recommending Ryan and his team for any legal representation.

“I cannot say enough about the incredible representation I received from Ryan Deck. From the very first consultation, it was clear that he was relentless in his pursuit of justice. Ryan left no stone unturned, meticulously analyzing every detail of my case and finding flaws in the prosecution’s arguments that I didn’t even know existed.
Throughout the process, he was communicative, supportive, and fiercely dedicated. Ryan’s courtroom presence was impressive—sharp, confident, and unshakable. Thanks to his tireless efforts and legal expertise, the outcome of my case was a Not Guilty verdict.
I would highly recommend Ryan to anyone facing a DWI/Criminal charge. He truly fights for you and delivers results.”

I had a multi-disciplinary legal matter last year. Although the allegations were without merit I was afraid of the potential consequences for myself and my family. Mr. Parra met with me and was able to calm some of those fears. He immediately went to work on my case and Within days he was getting results. My legal problems were completely resolved in a much shorter time than I expected with the best possible outcome and the price was reasonable. I’ve recommended several clients to Mr. Parra who have received the same care and treatment with similar results. The Parra Law Firm is now the only Law firm I recommend for San Antonio and surrounding areas.

Mr. Helson works wonders. His prior experience as a prosecutor not only allows him to accurately access the legal hurdles against his client, but it also allows him particular insight into any advantage he might have in defending his clients. I cannot be more pleased with the results Mr. Helson achieved on behalf of my daughter. I could have lost her to the system for many years. She is home now.

Mr. Helson is a very knowledgeable, dedicated and observant attorney. Even though I received him as court appointed counsel, he defended me and fought for me as if I was a high paying client. I don't think he realizes what a hero he is in my life, but I hope he feels it. He helped me get my life back on track when I thought it was over and done with. His belief in everyone's right to a fair trial is impressive.
I owe you, Ronald.

If you are looking for an attorney who will listen, work hard, and fight for you then I would highly recommend Ron Helson. When I hired Mr. Helson I was facing a third degree felony, a class a misdemeanor and going against a tough court. He provided me with a immediate sense of relief after speaking with 5 other lawyers who did not really want to help me with my case. After I told Mr. Helson the outcome I was hoping for, he fought for more. I couldn't have been more impressed with his representation and more blessed with my outcome. My family and I would like to say thank you Mr. Helson I appreciate the hard work you did!

Mac Morris is the real deal. Earlier this year, I was dealing with a misdemeanor case here in Collin County. After researching many attorneys, I found Mac Morris, and decided to go with him. I'm very glad I did. He was very professional, thorough, and it was apparent from the very beginning that he cares about his clients. On my birthday, I got an email that my charge had been dismissed.
Aside from just court proceedings, Mr. Morris went above and beyond for me. He helped me make the right decisions in my life to become a better person and grow from this experience.
God bless you, Attorney Mac! Thank you for everything you've done to help me. The world needs more like you!

I was indicted on 1st degree murder. Adam had previously been my lawyer for a separate charge. I called him and he took the case. He fought for a year on my behalf, and kept me and my family updated along the way. He did not buckle under the pressure the prosecution was applying, even when they told him that if I didn't accept their deal they would pick up all 4 charges and take me to trial on them . (3 1st dg. Felonies, 1 misdemeanor) He got the 1st dg. Murder charge dropped, the other charges were let go, and I did not have to go to prison for life. He is a life saver.

They literally never answer their phones or sms. law must be a hobby and not a career. They represented my fiance and rarely responded to me, and then i attempted to rehire them, because they are already familiar with the case, and we need paperwork handled to lower his sentence, Ive been calling for 3 days, and still no response. Just lazy. I think ill stick to New York lawyers. I wouldn’t recommend.

This recommendation and review is a over a year past due. I hired Donny and his partner Karen for my criminal assault case. I could have not been more pleased. They took the time to gather all the information from me, the police, doctors, and any other applicable sources to build a strong case.
At no time in the process did they ever set an unrealistic expectations. Donny and Karen were always there for me and very responsive to any question I had. They carefully explained the risks and rewards of taking a plea deal vs. going to trial. When the time came to make a decision of whether we take a plea deal or go to trial, I felt confindent with they would represent me will in trial. And the did just that. They made sure the jury was not swayed by testimony or evidence the DA felt would win them they case. They used facts and presented a clear picture and timeline for my case. This resulted in a Not Guilty verdict. I will be forever pleased with the work they did for me.

A juvenile law lawyer specializes in legal issues involving minors, including those facing criminal charges, child welfare matters, or status offenses (like truancy or curfew violations). Juvenile law lawyers aim to protect the rights of minors and advocate for rehabilitation rather than punishment in criminal cases. They also help families navigate child custody, abuse, neglect cases, and other legal matters involving children.
If your child is facing criminal charges, or you are involved in a child welfare case, a juvenile law lawyer can help protect your child’s rights and work toward the most favorable outcome.
When Should I Hire a Juvenile Law Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a juvenile law lawyer in the following situations where minors are involved in legal matters:
- Juvenile criminal charges: If your child is accused of a crime, such as theft, assault, or drug offenses, a juvenile lawyer can represent them in juvenile court, advocating for leniency and alternatives to detention.
- Delinquency proceedings: A lawyer can help navigate delinquency charges, defending your child’s rights and seeking rehabilitative outcomes like counseling, probation, or diversion programs instead of incarceration.
- Status offenses: If your child has committed a status offense, such as truancy, running away, or underage drinking, a lawyer can help you resolve these issues in juvenile court, often focusing on rehabilitation rather than punishment.
- School disciplinary issues: If your child is facing school suspensions, expulsions, or other disciplinary actions, a lawyer can help protect their educational rights and challenge any unfair or unlawful school policies.
- Child protective services (CPS) investigations: If your family is being investigated by CPS for alleged abuse, neglect, or dependency, a lawyer can represent you and protect your child’s rights throughout the investigation.
- Custody disputes: A lawyer can help in cases involving child custody or guardianship disputes, ensuring the child’s best interests are prioritized and advocating for the child’s rights.
- Emancipation: If your child seeks legal emancipation from their parents or guardians, a lawyer can assist in navigating the legal process and help the child understand their rights and responsibilities.
Hiring a lawyer early in the legal process ensures that your child’s rights are protected and that the best possible outcomes are pursued.
