I would hire again and recommend to friends and family.

I was arrested for a class 3 felony in June. In light of a similar offense many years ago; I was in a serious situation. Because of Nancy, the case was "no-billed" at the grand jury level in November. Point blank, hire her, do not delay. Her rates are more than fair. If I'm ever in trouble aga...in I'd not only hire her without hesitation, but I'd also recommend her to family and friends. Details. I kept her mailer along with 4 or 5 others and began the background and review process. She comes from a solid school and has no disciplinary actions against her. I appreciate that she includes her picture in the mailer; as we all know, appearance matters. While many of her peers send out mailers chock full of info including their case win record; Nancy (not an assistant) responded straightaway and set a meeting. She is matter-of-fact and direct; just the way I like it. I also got the feeling that she was interviewing me as much as I was her. While she doesn't mince words when giving her professional opinion; she's not blowing smoke just to generate fees. I've read a few of the reviews in regards to her confusing her clients with others; this too happened to me. We exchanged several emails about my case for a couple weeks prior to a second meeting. When we began our second meeting to discuss strategy; I sensed that our rapport was off. She didn't lie or pretend, but rather admitted that she had me confused. She apologized, refocused and quickly went about the task at hand. I look at this as positive for a few reasons; first she has a caseload which means she's busy which also means the DA sees her often. It also means that she's honest because I don't think I'd be capable of pinpointing the cause of the awkward start of our meeting had she not informed me. Also, she seems to be far from the type of attorney that would show up for court, disheveled and fumbling through folders not knowing whom she was meeting. She wants her client to prevail or I don't believe she'd take the case. Hire her; you're in good hands. KW

Excellent lawyer!

My adult son and I had a misunderstanding and before I knew it I was being carted off to jail with a charge of domestic violence. Days after I got home from jail I received Ms. Ohan's pre-written letter in the mail, among many other lawyers, offering to help me. After waiting a couple of weeks I fi...nally picked her letter out of all of the others and I called her. Ms. Ohan attended all of my court dates and I never even went to one of them. Then I get a call from her assistant Beatrice saying the case was dismissed! I highly recommend Ms. Ohan for your legal problems. This was the very first time I was ever in jail and the very first time I needed the help of a lawyer! I often called her assistant Beatrice whenever I was having a panic attack regarding my case and Beatrice always answered my questions with courtesy and patience! Ms. Ohan kept her word on every single part of her pre-written letter! Never once did she ever change from the promises given on that letter! I always hated the junk mail lawyers send out when someone is in trouble, but for once getting her pre-written letter after my first time jail stay was truly a Godsend!

MS Nancy is TOP SHELF

I Hired MS Nancy over 4 years ago and have had to use her on several issues. I will continue to use her and her very informative and knowledgeable assistant MS B. She has always taken time to listen and to advise the right things that need to be done. Some of the other reviewers write things that mak...e her sound harsh. One thing for certain, two things for sure. MS Nancy tells you how it is and not what you may want to hear. She can see thru the smoke you try to blow and will do her best to help you if you help yourself. She is truly Top Shelf. One of the best in Dallas.

Best Lawyer in Texas

Best lawyer in the state. She was extremely helpful with the details of my case and kept me up to date about everything. She worked hard to get my case dismissed and was very nice and patient with me. I will recommend her to anyone I meet.
