Best of the best

I had hired another law firm and they were getting nowhere with my case. I I was charged with multiple offense DUIs and other charges. Not sure where to turn I contacted the law office of Houston and Alexander. Johnny Houston went the EXTRA MILE! The other law firm negotiated a sentence that may have... made me lose my house, my children...everything. Johnny was able to not only get my charges reduced but also the sentence net result was I was able to keep my family together. I have really turned my life around and things are going great! Johnny did not forget about me once the case was over,either. I needed help getting my license and also help with respect to the supervision and Johnny jumped on it!!! He filed paperwork, contacted the DA and the judge and everything worked out better than I could have ever imagined. If you need help “HIRE THIS FIRM!!!”

Saved my life!

I was charged with a second offense DUI. I have no excuse and I should not have been driving. My husband had just passed away and I was going thru personal issues. I backed into another car and was charged with DUI and felony vehicular assault. My case was uphill and Mr. Houston made no bones abo...ut it. He told me that he could not guarantee a particular outcome, but would guarantee that he and the other lawyers at Houston & Alexander would work hard to get the best result possible. Mr. Houston was able to get my second offense reduced to a first offense. I had to wear an alcohol monitor but was happy to do so. Otherwise, I was looking at significant jail time. I cannot say enough about this law firm! I would give 10 stars if I could. Everyone there is friendly and it is like a family. I also love their office. It is a house located near downtown but not in downtown so I did not have to deal with going down there, If you have any legal issue, I would call them immediately!

Thank you very much for your kind review. It took a bit longer than we anticipated, but as we explained early on, these cases are often marathons rather than sprints. Very happy that all worked out..

These Lawyers Mean Business

I made a mistake and should not have been driving. I was involved in a wreck and was charged with DUI and leaving the scene. Although I thought I was ok to drive, I was charged with DUI and "leaving the scene of an accident." It turned out my alcohol level was over the limit. I am about to graduate... college and a DUI conviction would have really hurt my chances of getting a good job. Johnny and Bret told me I had a difficult case and the only guarantee they gave was that they would work hard for me. They NEVER gave up on my case and ultimately persuaded the arresting officer and the DA to reduce the charge. If YOU need help on a DUI or any other case, call them! These men are not only hard working but kind. They made me feel confident in times of great stress and trouble. I am thankful to have met them and to have had them on my team!

My DUI Representation

I made a mistake and was driving when I had a bit too much to drink. I was pulled over and honestly, I said some things I should not have to the officer who was just doing his job. To make matters worse, I had a previous DUI nine and a half years before, so I was charged with a 2nd offense and had to... wear an alcohol monitor that immediately became troublesome. Given that I am not a TN resident, I hired an attorney from out-of-state and things were not going my way. Houston & Alexander were recommended and they took over my case. Things immediately got better! At our first court appearance, the mutual respect between the judge and Johnny Houston was obvious. Long story short, my 2nd offense was reduced, I did not lose my job and I could not be happier with the representation from this firm. After the plea, a couple of issues popped up and Houston & Alexander were still there for me, returning my phone calls and providing excellent service. I highly recommend this firm!

Aggravated Assault Charges

Hiring an attorney during a difficult time can be extremely stressful. You are trusting your fate to someone you have never met and know nothing about. This was how we felt when we hired Mr Houston to represent my son. It was a long battle, but Mr Houston never gave up on our son. From the first mee...ting until the charges/case was dismissed, Mr Houston always told me the truth, always kept us up to date on any changes in the case. Even tho we faced multiple District Attorneys during our case, Mr Houston and his firm represented our son to the fullest. Words are just words . Even the most glowing review could never express how grateful I am we hired this man.

Thank you very much for your kind comments. As we discussed at our first consultation, serious criminal matters are more akin to marathon races than sprints. It often takes time to present the case to prosecutors who are handling numerous difficult cases. We appreciate your hiring us to represent your son and we are always here if and when you need us.
