An outstanding attorney and a class act as a person

For a week after bonding out of jail for a criminal offense (Class B misdemeanor), I received 40 letters from attorneys who wanted to represent me in my case. I researched each of them and Nancy Ohan ended up being the attorney I hired. And, I am incredibly thankful I hired her and not one of the o...thers. Not only was her fee reasonable, she was able to get a disposition in my case that was beyond my expectations. We could have taken a chance with a jury trial and prevailed; however, having served on juries in the past and having dealt with the types of people that end up on juries, I decided to plead to a lesser offense even though I was innocent. I am totally confident in her ability as an attorney, but far less confident in the justice system. And, the Class C misdemeanor could be expunged in a certain amount of time. Ms. Ohan is not only a very good attorney, but she is one class act as a person. I have dealt with several other attorneys in the past for criminal, civil and estate issues, and she definitely is far and above the very best. Note: I do not understand the 2 or 3 negative reviews of Ms. Ohan by some here who claim to have been her client.

Nancy Elizabeth Ohan

Mrs. Ohan proved to be a great lawyer and an oustanding person when I needed her the most. I searched for several days for a lawyer to help me with an assault case. I had already called several lawyer when I received a letter in the mail from Mrs. Ohan's office offering her service and assistance wit...h my case. When I called her she was available for me instantly. Most of the places I called had me leave my number so they could call me back which usually took until the next day for me to actually talk to a lawyer. Not Mrs Ohan, she was available for me as soon as I called! She talked with me for about thirty minutes and suggested a next step for me whether I hired her or not. After talking to her about the case she then told me what she would charge which was cheaper than all of the lawyers I had already spoke with. Not only did she keep her word, she allowed me to pay her in payments with no interest. When I went to her office to meet with her she was absolutely wonderful. Very personable which made it so much comforting to me since I have always been nervous when dealing with courts and the law.. Oh but dont get me wrong, I can tell that her real office is at court. When we met at court for my case she was a totally different person. I could see that she meant business and she was going straight to work. She got my case dismissed and congratulated me when it was all over with. Thank you Mrs Ohan for a great job well done!! I would definatley recommened you to anyone looking for a great lawyer!!

she saved my life

I was going through a tuff time in my life. I recieved 3 dwi charges, a marijuana case and a cocaine case. All other lawyers i spoke to informed me that i would go to jail and there was nothing that could be done. I gave one last lawyer a try Nancy Elizabeth Ohan. Ms. Ohan answered at a late hour and... i informed her of my situation. The next morning i was at her very nice and comfortable office to meet and talk. I hired her on the spot. Ms. Ohan convinced the judge to give me 3 years probation with a option of early termination instead of the 10 years flat sentence that was placed in front of me. Nancy Ohan is the best damn lawyer out there. How do i know ..... I spoke to them all and she works the hardest and for a fair price... She does it for us the clients.... When all said it couldnt be done she did it...... Trust in Nancy Ohan she will see you through till the end.... i'll vouch for her any day.......

Lawyer with a personal touch

Had a 2nd DWI case that could have far reaching consequences on my legal allien status. Nancy fought the case to the sweet end and finally...........case dismissed! Above all she charged me a mere 12 % of what my allien fellow country lawyer practicing in Dallas was charging me! Awesome lawyer.Highl...y recommends her to everybody!
