My lawyer FULLY EXECUTED everything that he explained to me in the consultation; i.e., all the steps tgat would have to take place and the outcome. He also kept in communication with me through the entire process which is an absolute PLUS. He was hired on the spot.

Jon is an outstanding criminal attorney that I am grateful to have in my corner when going through my felony case. Jon is a master of detail, leaving no stone unturned bringing up issues and key points that I, with my non-attorney thinking, thought were completely irrelevant. He is very accessible (met with me on a weekend), persistent when working with Collin County legal staff, and has that pit-bull aggressiveness that was a key contribution that led to a positive outcome. One of the main qualities that I like about Jon was that he made me feel confident that my situation was not the end of the world by explaining things to me in a manner in which I could understand and thus able to make decisions on how I wanted to proceed. I highly recommend Jon for any criminal needs that anyone may have; he is a top notch attorney in his area and I am very happy with his services.

Our case was very odd and difficult. It definitely didn't align with any "normal procedures". That's said about a charge that has a lot of bad bad stigma, and where many people are "true believers". Meaning, that they judge in their minds before hearing any evidence or seeking the truth. We knew our son was innocent of a very weak accusation... not simply because we're biased, but because the evidence (or lack thereof) was horrible. Many friends and family of ours that heard his case couldn't believe it ever got as far as it did; but nevertheless, the prosecution and "system" was treating him like he was already guilty and pressing full force for a conviction by any means.
Jon shined a light on the situation we were in and showed us the reality of the cards, the system, and the politics we were up against. Honestly, I didn't want to hear or believe any of it, and some of it made me think he didn't quite know what he was talking about. But I did my research on what he told us and found it to be legit.
He was always very well dressed and professional at meetings and hearings. He communicates well; returns calls and emails; and had things ready when they were supposed to be ready. He never promised or even really suggested any particular outcome and at the same time, he explained his plans for defense and his overall strategy every step of the way. We ended up with a deal that we could accept, and our son is on a path to have the entire ordeal be nothing more than a bad memory, and completely wiped from his record.
Bottom line; he fought for us and I never felt like we were just another paycheck. We started out knowing he had a lot of brick walls to run through. He didn't hesitate on any of them, and he had a tactful plan for each one.
Considering all that, and the things I didn't mention, he was very fair and reasonable with his charges and payment plans. Yes, I'd refer him, but I'd also want hire him again if we ever found ourselves in this kind of situation.

Jon may look like a young guy, but his experience and devotion to my case and outcome showed his wisdom beyond even the most seasoned lawyers. His ability to look at details and circumstances allowed me the best possible outcome. The whole legal system in it of itself is broken, but Jon found a way to fix my problem by using his intelligence, extensive knowledge of the law, and pure tough grit to grind away and step up to bat and represent my rights in Collin County. Collin County is one of the toughest in the USA, but Jon has proved he is tougher. I highly reccomend Jon and his complete dedication to seeing everything through and even past it. He will insert himself into the situation and provide support in a rarely seen in his profession to reassure you.

As a business professional, I thought my career advancement had come to an end when I was charged with my first DWI. With a leap of faith, I contacted Jon O'Toole after listening to an advertisement on a local radio station. I am so grateful that he was the attorney who took my case. He kept excellent communication with me during this difficult time. Mr. O'Toole was always honest & straightforward when explaining what to expect next, even if it was scary to hear. All the while, his reassuring attitude & knowledge made me feel confident in all of my choices & decisions during my case. My case went to trial & I was dismissed of all charges. I feel like I was a second chance to chase my dreams & peruse in advancing my career, all thanks to Mr. O'Tooles help. I am definitely keeping him in mind for any future legal counsel & highly recommending him to friends or family.

Helpful, reassuring, and knowledgeable. Gave me advice first then allowed me to decide whether I wanted to handle the case myself or have him do it. I had him do it and it was a wonderful outcome. Thank you!

I got hit with a DWI while on a business trip from UK. Case was complicated as I was not a US citizen so could not do probation/courses etc. John argued a plea bargain for me that far exceeded what I hoped for. I found him to be excellent in all aspects of my case.

Took care of two tickets for me. With attorney fees, court fees, and new ticket price for deferred it was cheaper than original ticket fine on both... and I didn't have to go into court. Great communication through the entire process. Highly recommended and will use again if I do not learn my lesson on these tickets ;)
