11/10 would recommend!!

Chris Woodward has been a family friend for some time now so when I found myself in some heat I knew from the start that I would be in good hands. Me being 18-19 at the time, I had no idea what to expect and started assuming the worst possible scenario with my case, but Mr. Woodward gave me step by s...tep how the proceedings were going to go and was by my side the entire way. He helped me through it all legally but he also helped me mentally and emotionally through this very intimidating situation I put myself in. I highly recommend him to anyone who finds themselves in need of help. He will always have your best interest at heart and do everything in his power to make sure that your case comes to a swift and favorable conclusion. I could not have asked for a better outcome or a better attorney.

Best lawyer

Highly Recommended! I was referred to Chris Woodard after being charged with a first degree felony/assault with a deadly weapon. Typically with this charge it’s a mandatory 91 days in jail before you even see a judge. With Chris’s guidance and due diligence, I was able to be released within 60 days,... with a deferred sentence. I can never express how grateful I am for all he did for me. He is truly the best!!!!

Amazing Attorney!

We hired Christopher mid February as my husbands attorney. By far one of the best decisions I have ever made. My husbands was charged with 2 agg rob felonies. Christopher was able to get him def probation without conviction. Like I mentioned we consulted and signed contract mid February by the end of... March my husband was able to come home. He answered all our questions, updated us when needed, and over all just very nice and professional! I highly recommend Christopher!

Best attorney I could asked for

I was one of four charged with a first degree felony home invasion. The other three had received prison sentences of 55, 29 and 15 years. A long time friend and legal specialist recommended an attorney in Dallas, Texas, Christopher Woodward. I hired him. Four weeks after meeting with Chris, he was ab...le to pull off an amazing work, getting me deferred probation without a conviction. I am forever grateful to Chris and I would recommend him to everyone who need legal service.

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"I had the pleasure of supervising Chris when he first became a lawyer. It was obvious that he had a leg up on the other newbies due to his extensive prior experience as a narcotics officer. He understands dope cases better than almost anyone. He knows the people, the informants and the system."
