When your freedom and rights are at stake, Nancy is the woman you want to protect them.

After getting into some trouble for a felony and misdemeanor possession charge I was overwhelmed with all the attorney's to choose from. Going through the dozens of letters I received daily, I was lucky to open the one from Nancy. With her experience of working in for the Dallas County DA, I knew I ...needed to speak with her. I called and was able to setup a consult the next day. After explaining my situation it seemed the case would be a simple violation of consent to search, although Nancy did explain all the possible outcomes. I felt very confident in her plan and retained her services. However, the case became not so simple, as the police body cam footage submitted during discovery was not from the original officer, and did not show the violation. For almost a year Nancy worked to push for further video, but due typical bureaucracy- the footage was never going to be found. At this point I was convinced I would at best now have a record, be on probation, and live with the stigma the rest of my life. Not the case, Nancy was able to get the DA to drop the charges completely based on our her representation alone. I never stepped foot into a courtroom. I found her fee to be extremely competitive and she also never charged anymore, and offered a payment plan. She kept me informed ever step of the way, and answered any questions I had until I completely understood. Lastly Nancy is just a great person that I felt truly cared about me beyond my legal issues. I hope someday to see her behind the bench instead of in-front.

Life changed and beyond thankful - Case Dismissed

Words cannot begin to explain how thankful and pleased I am with Nancy and for all the hard work she put into getting my case dismissed. She truly was heaven sent! Never in million years could I have imagined that my DWI 2 case would run so smoothly and ultimately be thrown out. Nancy not only kno...ws the law, she’s passionate about it and truly cares for her client’s wellbeing. I recall my first meeting with her, she diligently listened and took note of everything I had to say without judging me. Because this was my second DWI, my first being nearly a decade ago, I felt so ashamed of the situation I had once again found myself in. Nancy genuinely expressed concern for me as a person. She went as far as asking me if I needed assistance in locating an AA or support group. She then made a pact with me, that she would do everything in her power to help me but that I also had to show her that I was willing to learn from this and make a change in my life. Upon retaining her she quickly began to gather details from the DA’s office and gave me constant updates which really went a long way in calming my nerves (I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown). When she received the video from DPD she called me in and we watched it together. Without going into detail, she almost immediately concluded that the officer had no justified reason for pulling me over. She suggested that we file a “Motion to Suppress” based on facts shown in the officer's car/body cam footage. This was in late August 2018. The months began to roll by and Nancy attended my court dates and would email or call me with updates almost immediately afterward (understandably sometimes a day later). At one point the interlock device in my vehicle failed due to battery issues and upon informing her of the potential problem it could cause with my pre-trail officer, Nancy was ready to spring into action. Fortunately, it wasn’t necessary, but once again knowing I had someone in my corner went a very long way. Finally, in January, Nancy informed me that she had met with the DA’s office and that they did not agree that the stop was unjustified. She again reassured me that she had a strong argument based on the facts seen in the video and would proceed with filing with motion. February - D-DAY Nancy was nothing less than incredible. She was confident, knowledgeable, and firm with her argument and although the arresting officer was present as a state witness, Nancy was completely unshaken (TOTAL BEAST MODE). After about 45 minutes the judge said the sweetest sounding two words I’ve ever heard “Motion sustained”. My case was pretty much dismissed. In the hallway, Nancy once again reminded me that this was a “Gift” and that she didn’t to ever see me in that situation again. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Nancy. May God Bless you always. Ps: I am now going on almost 7 months sober, thanks be to God, my family, friends, and Nancy’s push.

CDL saved!

I'm a professional truck driver and i thought my career was OVER, I was charged with a DWI while driving my truck. I contacted Ms.Ohan's office, met with her, and that day she told me "Everything is going to be okay" I was doubtful, but i was WRONG! My case was Dismissed, Ms. Ohan is a no nonsense ...professional who will work hard for you! She will keep you informed, let you know what you need to do. She saved my career! Thank you again Ms. Ohan!

Great Job Nancy !!

I chose Nancy to handle a DWI case for my husband that was a false charge after reading great reviews about her work & professionalism. She was easy to get a hold of & a pleasure to talk to. She listened to everything I had to say & spoke with my husband to get his side of the story. She kept my husb...and informed in every step of the way of his case. Nancy believed in my husband's case & never stopped fighting for him. After a mis-trial, she told him not to give up & that she knew she could beat it. She held a great argument on the misinformation given by the police & even pulled tape. Nancy's experience is price-less! She is fierce, extremely confident, and very sharp in her delivery in both her cross-examine and closing arguments through-out the both trials!! She went above & beyond & at the end... the case was thrown out & dismissed!! She won & I am very grateful for her time, passion, and high-energy-effort from start to finish. I would recommend her to anyone! She is a lifesaver!
