Helped get my case dismissed

Christopher was a great help to me. I had just turned 21 and got charged with an uncontrolled substance charge and I didn’t t know what was gonna happen, i also didn’t live in the area this took place I was extremely worried about have to travel back and forth but with Christopher’s help we were able... to do it all virtually. In the end Christopher was able to get my case dismissed and im so grateful for that. Thank you.

Amazing Lawyer!!

Mr. Woodward is an amazing lawyer that worked very hard is my case his day one. I was been charged with a first degree felony Man/Del at Rockwall county facing 5 yr , but his experience and dedication working on my best interest and best outcome possible he was able to reduce my charge to a possessio...n of uncontrolled substance and 3 yrs probation. I also would like to mention that I am very thankful and would like to give Mr. Woodward a token of appreciation because he worked and gave the importance to my case and always looked out for the best outcome since the moment he became my court-appointed lawyer.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
