Jon O'Toole spent the first six years of his career prosecuting cases, not defending them — as an assistant county attorney in Hunt County starting in 2007, then as an assistant criminal district attorney in Tarrant County until 2013. That experience, seeing firsthand how the state builds a case, is what led him to open his own defense practice.
Jon holds a law degree from Texas Wesleyan University School of Law (2006) and an undergraduate degree from Baylor University (2002). He and his family have called Collin County home since 2011. He is a member of the Texas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association and the Collin County Criminal Defense Lawyers Association, where he previously served as president. He's licensed by the State Bar of Texas and admitted to practice before the U.S. Supreme Court and the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas.
O'Toole Law keeps a deliberately limited caseload — because, in Jon's words, "the best defense has to be built specifically around that person's situation, not applied like a template."

Excellent criminal attorney!
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 accessibl...

Jon as your Lawyer
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 t...

DWI plea bargain
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.
"John is not only a fantastic and smart lawyer, he is also a sensational person. He has a very well-deserved reputation as one of the best criminal defense attorneys in Collin County."
"I worked with Jon when we were both prosecutors. He has a strong work ethic, and his experience as a former Assistant District Attorney helps his clients in getting the best possible outcome for their cases. I endorse this lawyer."
"Jon is a great, hard working attorney. I worked with him when we were both prosecutors at the Tarrant County District Attorney's Office. I'm glad we are both now defending citizens who stand accused by the government."
"Jon and I worked together at the Tarrant County District Attorney's office. He always impressed me with his preparation and trial skills. I would recommend Jon to anyone."
"Jon is a great attorney! He pays attention to the details. I've worked with Jon and seen his work up close. He cares about people, and works hard to get them results. I highly recommend him."
"Jon is a great attorney with an even better work ethic. He always works hard on behalf of his clients. Great at evaluating the issues in his case and a greater grasp on the law."
