Excellent Attorney

Don Becker represented my son and I at a divorce and custody hearing in which the grandparents were attempting to gain custody from father. Mr Becker stepped in, countered every false claim with the judge, demanding that I be drug tested and show that these were just vindictive grandparents. We ret...ained custody of my son and the grandparents were admonished for "taking" my son. EXCELLENT Attorney and I'm very grateful for his hard work!!

Review

I paid this man up front and he did nothing for me. Just showed up looking like he had slept in his suit and hadn't even reviewed the information for my case as he still had to go see the D.A. in the courtroom. Huge, waste of space, I mean gigantic. If you like throwing away your money go for i...t. Read after the fact, he has been punished before for stealing clients money. I guess those are the ones he didn't show up in court for. When he does it is the same thing.

Best Attorney in Houston

This man is fantastic. He walks into the courtroom like he owns it and then you find out that he does. Amazing at what he does. When we hired him he got the charges against my daughter dropped. If you want the best hire this man; you will be so glad that you did!

Becker is the best

I don't know why this attorney has such a low rating when all of his reviews are great. I hired him to represent my son and me did a fantastic job. We were so glad that we hired him, got the charges against him reduced which we didn't think any lawyer would be able to do. If you want the best gi...ve this man a call.

Great Knowledgeable attorney

I recently hired this attorney and he was so much more reasonable that other attorney's I contacted. He let me make payment arrangements which really helped me to be able to afford an attorney. I felt that he would be great at handling my case and he proved that he could do it; was very confident ...in the court room, returned all my phone calls and kept me informed on what to expect in court. He is a most excellent attorney and I am very glad that I hired him.
