I was involved in my first DWI in the later years in my life. I needed professional help to navigate how the court system works. Mr. Nash and his wonderful paralegal Mrs. Weiss helped me with this case
I hired them from a person I had met and took a chance. I was wonderfully surprised. Mr. Nash was educated and helpful in his conduct. Mrs. Weiss was caring and helpful in her conduct. I kept in contact with Mrs. Weiss through the whole process. I am very happy with my outcome of the case and grateful I chose to be represented by such wonderful people in my months of uncertainty and anxiety. Thank you both.

I recently retained Charles Lloyd to represent me in my complex, double-felony sex-offender registration violation case.
Both Charlie Lloyd and his partner at LLOYD & NASH, Michael Nash, met with me multiple times to understand the urgencies and sensitivities of my case and hear my concerns. They researched case law and worked behind the scenes with court officials, and within 48 hours, we had all options and concerns on the table.
In fact, Charlie and Michael were able to persist even after two other legal firms were unable to handle this sensitive case that was destined to send me to prison for 5 years. Even though it was exceedingly difficult to face what I considered unscrupulous authorities and changing procedures for these publicly-abhorrent charges, I was well advised to plead. In fact, as a result, Charlie and Michael were able to reduce my legal exposure to a probationary period.
Indeed, exceptional communication, great persistence and strong personal connections resulted in an outcome beyond all expectations, especially given the difficulties of navigating court proceedings with these publicly abhorrent charges.
Lloyd and Nash are likely not the cheapest legal representation in town, but because of their capabilities and experience, I would always trust them to handle my freedom and well being. They clearly care for clients and they are highly capable, professional and personable. They had a keen ability to cut through the legal and procedural bullshit to strategically develop a range of practical options and work closely with the court to reach a fair and just conclusion.
If you’re faced with difficult circumstances in a sex-offender or another criminal case, I would highly recommend having Charlie Lloyd defend your freedom.

I have been a client of Mr. Lloyd since the passing of Kenneth Carrington from whom Mr. Lloyd expanded his client base upon taking over Mr. Carrington's practice. I was fortunate enough to count myself among them.
As a troubled teen and into my 20s - 30s between Mr. Carrington and Mr. Lloyd I on occasion required their services.
I must say that I have never been disappointed and have always without fail received top notch legal representation and most often a better than expected outcome.
I couldn't complain if I tried, because there simply isn't anything that I can see that could've been done better to insure the best possible outcome with respect to my needs and just the all around ease with witch things are handled by Mr. Lloyd and his more than capable staff.
If you need legal representation in this field of legal practice then just do yourself a favor and save some time and grief and money and give Mr. Lloyd a call.
In 30 yrs I have never been disappointed and I'm more often amazed at the results than anything.
Mr. Lloyd is the best!
Hands down....
I didn't say he's the rest. I said he's the best.
Don't go in expecting a pat on the back and a sugar coated smile as he takes your fee and says what he "might" be able to do. No Mr. Lloyd cares and it shows when he speaks to you about lessons needed to be learned and he's not afraid to tell you where you messed up or need improvement. I wouldn't have it any other way, because at the end of the day I've had first hand experience with Mr. Lloyd's services in comparison with the competition and the fact is that there is no comparison.
They are the rest.
Mr. Lloyd is the best!!!!
To Mr. Lloyd I would like to express my sincerest and humblest gratitude for once again delivering the same level of service on my last and recent case with an even better than expected outcome with the same ease of handling the issue I'm accustomed to.
Thank Again!

I can’t recommend the entire team enough! From the moment I reached out, they were friendly, courteous, and incredibly responsive. I was nervous going into the process, but I had heard such great things from a close friend so I chose to just trust the process. I was able to get the entire case dismissed. I was certain I’d have to pay fees…but I didn’t have to even pay a fine. I would definitely recommend this firms services.

This is my second review of Lindley Law and my satisfaction is the same. Attorney Lindley is truly the best at what she does. Her team, Mrs. Brenda etc is very professional and knowledgeable and will keep you informed throughout. I had a couple of court cases and all I had to do was show up to my court date once. Mrs. Lindley did everything else and got my cases dismissed. Efficient and effective. She is the only lawyer I will use. Highly recommend!

She is more like the prosecutor rather than a defensive attorney. Seek some different. Shows up after 10:00am when court starts at 8:30am. very unprofessional and obviously lacks regard
