COULDN'T OF HAD A BETTER ATTORNEY!

Frank Douglas, is the best attorney I've ever had. Throughout my years in the criminal system, I have paid for many attorneys that did nothing for my situation/case. Frank went above and beyond and he was a public defender that was assigned to me in the Dallas county Court district. At one point I... had other charges going on in Tarrant county that I had to take care of and I knew that when I went to jail in Tarrant county that they were going to go off my Dallas county bonds which they did and Frank got the judge to give me six PR bonds for my felonies and I was able to get out again. He's always looked out for me and had my best interest in mind. I truly feel like he was a lifesaver and if I could leave a higher review than this I totally would. Frank Douglas is a Great Attorney. Thanks, Stephanie S.

HE WASNT VERY HELPFUL

HE CONTINUED TO TRY TO MAKE ME ADMIT GUILT WHEN THERE WASNT ANY. aLMOST COST ME MY FREEDOM TWICE BECAUSE THE DATES HE GAVE ME TO SIGN FOR RETURNING COURT APPEARANCES AND THE DATES ACTUALLY ON THE DALLAS COUNTY WEBSITE WERE NOT THE SAME. SO IN TWO INSTANCES, I MISSED MY COURT DATES.

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.
