DWI and Federal Drug Charge

I am 56 years old and have never been in trouble my whole life. The one time I let my self go at a friends birthday party I had a couple of drinks and just happened to have drugs in my pocket I get pulled over and go to jail for the first time in my life a little scary. A friend of mine knowing my ...situation referred Kevin Ross said he was one of the best Lawyers to handle this type of situation DWI and a possible federal drug charge. I called Kevin set up an appointment, he took me through several scenario's I hired him and he told me there would be a one time charge up front and never another charge unless we went to trial which I liked I have heard so many horror stories of the cost and everything being drawn out for several years. Kevin went to bat for me and got me one of the best outcomes I could have asked for under the circumstances. I highly recommend him and would only use him if I was in legal trouble again. Thanks Kevin your the Best. Curtis Best

Got the job done fairly

Kevin worked with the system to resolve a legal issue which should never have existed except for the unwieldy nature of the system itself. Rather than take the easy route and accept a simple theft of service charge, Kevin pursued the facts, presented them to the prosecution and won a complete dismi...ssal. We would recommend him to friends who are in need of legal assistance.

Professional and Meticulous, knowledgable and responsive.

From our very first communication by telephone, Mr. Ross has proven himself to be concerned, knowledgeable, understanding and compassionate. Not only was he efficient in addressing my every concern, but he was extremely professional and personable in the process. The criminal process can be very ov...erwhelming and confusing and things can be very stressful., Mr. Ross seems to understand this, making it very easy to communicate with him., and most importantly I liked how Mr. Ross stayed in constant communication with me explaining each step along the way. Top shelf representation is hard to come by these days - particularly, when a sensitive blend of personal experience, observations and trusted skill sets are involved. My case is still going on but Frankly, I can't thank him enough for helping me through a potentially stressful situation. I would rate him as superb in every aspect of my experience and extremely sharp criminal attorney and would, without hesitation, highly recommend Mr. Kevin B. Ross as an best criminal attorney out there.

One of the best defense lawyers in the game

I met Kevin through a work associate. Within every step of the trial, Kevin reassured me and gave me confidence. He developed a strategic plan of attack leading up to the case but when it came to trial that is when I saw how brilliant Kevin was. He was very personable with the jury and during the tri...al was attentive to the case. Kevin rose to the occasion during trial, by building credible arguments to rebut the state's case, leading to victory. I would recommend Kevin to any one in need. He is strategic, calm and cool under pressure and was the asset I needed in my corner to win the case.

Outstandingly helpful.

Mr. Kevin Ross immediately put me at ease with his style, responsivity to the unfortunate circumstances I was in, reassurance and excellent legal counsel. He provided me with all the necessary information and represented me in the legal process of sealing criminal records (misdemeanor). I needed hi...s representation to move that offense to a deferred adjudication status on record since I completed all requirements by the court. Also I discovered that there was a court clerical error (offense being recorded as a felony) that were dispersed to background check sites that were keeping me from being eligible for employment and from renting an apartment. Mr Ross made it possible for the records to be sealed so that my life could move forward. It was especially significant to me that he handled my case as a volunteer attorney for the Legal Services of North Texas organization. I am truly grately and so impressed with the work Kevin Ross did for me and for what he does routinely in his practice for others.
