Dwi case.

Dwi and the da was offering 5 years I believe, and we went in with probation is not an option. He asked me if I was willing to do time vs probation and I said yes Jury trial lasted a week and I almost, I mean close. Yes I was found guilty. From 5 yrs down to 8 nights in jail. With him for my lawyer,... my life would have been.... I had a few lawyers in my time and Deric was the best of them all. Out of 6.

Deric is the best lawyer in Texas

Deric Walpole has represented me on five felony cases I have hired him each and every time he has worked harder for me than any other lawyer I have ever hired and I have hired roughly 15 lawyers for criminal defense he has taken care of assault cases for me as well as organized crime he has been pro...fessional and hard-working at every single turn and he is so serious about his cases that sometimes it’s even hard to keep up keep up with him because he is working on everything to deal with your case but rest assured He is always doing everything the best way possible so I recommend him and if I ever need him again I will hire him repeatedly he has become one of my closest and dearest friends because of how much he has cared about me and my cases as well as my family

Hardest Working Lawyer & Awesome Results

Deric Walpole is the hardest working lawyer I have ever known. It doesn't matter what time of day it is, he is available for his clients. He is passionate about helping clients and LOVES to win. He has won many Jury Trials in southern conservative counties where the odds were against him. He has b...een in the Collin and Dallas County area for so long and his highly known and well-respected in the legal community. He not only fought for me, but he went above and beyond to get cases dismissed and sealed. He is one of a kind, and the hardest working attorney I've ever known. I would recommend him to anybody in need of a criminal lawyer. You won't be disappointed!!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
