Aggravated Assault w/ deadly weapon

I was recently charged with aggravated assault w/ firearm back in October, and was facing 2-10 years in Jail. Thanks to Chris he is such an amazing attorney and worked very hard and diligently to get me out. He was able to get me a off the hook without a felony conviction. Me and my wife couldn’t tha...nk him enough for him to get me out before Christmas and the New Years, will definitely recommend him to anybody that are facing criminal charges. God Bless You Chris and your Family !

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!!!!

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.

UNBELIEVEABLE!!!

Chris gets 10 STARS!!! I am a convicted felon with 3 prior convictions and ended up catching a robbery charge in Dallas County which carries a 2-20 year sentence. With my background and the nature of the crime it was most likely going to be upgraded to an Aggravated Robbery which carries 5-99 years.......With that being said I was facing some major time. I was referred to Chris by a mutual friend and within the first 5 minutes of meeting him I knew he was the guy! He was very knowledgeable and handled the consultation with genuine care. 2 months go by and BOOM!!! Chris was able to get the charge reduced to a Misdemeanor Assault! WHAT? I was in shock. NO JAILTIME and 1 year Deferred Probation. I could not ask for a better outcome. If you ever have to put your life in another persons hands over a legal situation; Go with Chris!!! He is the one!

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."
