Attorney Christopher Woodward is located in Dallas, Texas

I can’t say enough positive things about Attorney Christopher Woodward and how he handled a very difficult and life changing situation for our family. From day one he believed in his client and was committed to uncovering the truth. He immediately went to work on the case and demonstrated an exceptio...nal level of dedication and determination. Within days of taking the case, he successfully had the bail reduced from $200,000 to 50,000. This lessened the financial burden on our family. He also pursued every avenue of evidence that could help establish the facts of the case. This included arranging a polygraph test which was passed with flying colors. What made his representation so meaningful was that he never treated this like it was just another case. He answered all of our questions with patience and honesty. He understood what was at stake for a young student-athlete with an outstanding academic record, Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees, no prior criminal history, and very realistic aspirations of pursuing a professional football career. He understood that the allegations could have had devastating consequences on this young man’s entire future. In less than three (3) months the charges were dismissed. Mr. Woodward’s legal knowledge, determination, and his commitment to his client were evident throughout the entire process. He fought tirelessly, and never stopped working toward the best possible outcome. For anyone facing a serious legal situation and looking for an attorney who will fight for them and leave no stone unturned, I highly recommend Attorney Christopher Woodward. Our family will always be grateful to him for everything he did for us during this difficult period of our lives.

He's an excellent criminal lawyer

Mr. Woodward is a great lawyer. We came to him in a time crunch after our first lawyer was not satisfying my dad's need in his case. Mr. Woodward was able to help dropped his felony charge down to a much lighter misdemeanor with minimal probation. Me and my family are truly thankful for his work.

I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great, caring, and dependable lawye...r. Thank you for everything!

A Grateful Review

I can’t say enough good things about Mr. Worwood. He was incredibly knowledgeable, honest, professional, and, most importantly, easy to talk to throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain my options and made sure I understood what was happening every step of the way. I had previousl...y spent my last $5,000 on an attorney who didn’t offer nearly as many options or possibilities as Mr. Woodward did. I truly believe having Mr. Woodward in my corner made a life-changing difference. He helped protect my career and my family, and I will forever be grateful that my case was dismissed. I would recommend Mr. Woodward each and every time without hesitation. If you’re looking for an attorney who genuinely knows his stuff, listens to you, and fights for the best possible outcome, I highly recommend him. Thank you, Mr. Woodward, for giving me and my family our peace of mind back!
