Straight Up!
Wish I’d have used previously! Knew about him through a friend! But glad I did this time. Pricey but I learned that when it comes to my freedom you hire the best! I’ve recommended him to 2 of my employees and we are all glad we did. He’s a cool attorney but very straight up. He actually cares a...

The day we hired him he was very p...

Mr Billy Stovall
I just wanted to take a little time to give Mr Stovall 2 thumbs up...he did a really good job when it came down to representing me in court. Alot of times when we hear a court appointed attorney we automatically assume that they don't care or they aren't going to see things our way.....but I can hone...
Billy Jack Stovall II's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer. Billy is a fantastic attorney and person."
"Billy is a great trial lawyer who obtains the best results possible for his clients."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have worked with Bill Stovall on many cases and will continue to do so in the future."
"I have known Billy for years on both a professional and personal basis. He is an experienced, practical, and diligent attorney. It is comforting to know such a well qualified lawyer for whom I feel confident referring clients."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Billy for too many years to count. I have found him to be a great lawyer in and out of the courtroom. If I had one word to describe him, it would be magnanimous. He represents his clients to the highest degree of professionalism. I have in the past and will in the future refer prospective clients to him."
"First of all prior to becoming a defense attorney Bill was known as one of the toughest prosecutors in Dallas county. Over the last 10 plus years, I have personally witnessed him in trial and plea negotiations and it's clear he now uses that inside knowledge to get amazing results for his clients. In my opinion , because of his reputation among lawyers as one of the best trial lawyers in Texas, DA's will regularly dismiss or reduce the case rather then facing him in the courtroom. If you have a difficult, serious case where being guilty is NOT an option you need to highly consider Bill among your options."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Billy for over 15 years, and find him to be an avid defender of his clients legal rights. He is an extremely professional and competent attorney."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Bill for many years from law school and from our working together at the Dallas District Attorney's Office. We have also worked together on numerous cases. While I other attorneys are endorsed as being someone to whom another attorney refers clients, my strongest endorsement for Bill is that my wife and I have his cell number in our phones as the person to immediately call if we ever personally have a criminal problem."

Professional misconduct
This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2007.
Public Reprimand issued in TX, 2007
updated on 10/28/2013Public reprimand means an attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The State gives the lawyer a public reprimand in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior. Details of the infraction are made part of the public record.
“On January 26, 2007, I received a public reprimand. The District 6-A Grievance Committee found that the complainant in the grievance was a former employee of my firm. After the complainant left the firm, I used her notary public stamp. The District 6-A Grievance Committee found that I had violated Rule 8.04(a)(3). I was further ordered to pay $1,015.00 in attorney’s fees. Since being licensed in 1998, I have never had a grievance sustained against me by a client .”
