Removal of interlock
The interlock company was dragging their feet when a court ordered the interlock removed. This law firm made sure it was removed quickly and they followed up to make sure I was happy. Well, I'm definitely happy! Good job, reasonable rate. Thanks!
Glad we could help!

Go to attorney for blood testing
Deandra was super prepared and won my Denton County DWI blood test case. My case looked hopeless, but Deandra assured me everything would be ok. She was right. I highly recommend her.
Posted by Sandra | March 01, 2019 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI
Highly Recommend
As an attorney, I handle all types of cases including DWI cases. I try not to ever go to trial on a DWI blood test case without hiring Deandra to handle all of the blood evidence from reviewing the testing procedures and results to cross-examining the State's "expert". Of the blood test cases we ha...
"Deandra is an exceptional attorney. Her passion, knowledge, and advocacy are of the highest quality and caliber. I fully endorse this lawyer."

"Deandra is the BEST! I have learned so much from her that I feel compelled to endorse her. She goes above and beyond for her clients. She is always happy to share with fellow attorneys and is the "go to" lawyer for DWI in north Texas. If you are in trouble, you NEED to call Deandra. She is extremely professional, always prepared and knows the law! I highly endorse her."
"Deandra is extraordinarily knowledgeable about blood draw cases. In fact, I have a copy of her book The Texas DWI Manual, which is an excellent reference, particularly regarding blood draw cases."
"Deandra is both an amazing attorney and lady! Over the course of my young legal career, I have come across few that are not only as incredibly smart as Deandra, but also so willing to take the time to educate her fellow attorneys. She definitely sets the bar for attorneys in our field. Not a day has gone by since I met Deandra several years ago that I have not learned something new and useful for practicing law."
"Deandra is a top notch attorney. She creates cutting edge defense tactics and lectures frequently to other attorneys. I highly endorse Deandra Grant."
"Deandra is the best! Not only a great lawyer but a scientist as well, she brings great outcomes for those she represents. She is a true fighter and doesn't shy away from any trial."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have tremendous respect for Deandra and admire her success in the courtroom. I don't know of any attorney in the nation who knows more about blood testing than she."

"Deandra is a highly respected DWI attorney, and isn't afraid to take difficult cases to trial. She's a great lawyer!"
"Deandra is bar none, one of the best DWI attorneys in the Country. She knows her stuff and is not afraid to try your case. She will know the law and science better that the other side. I am proud to endorse Deandra."
"I have enjoyed listening to Deandra speak at various seminars. She is a hardworking and dedicated attorney. I highly endorse her for DWI cases."
"Outstanding lawyer for anyone accused of DWI/DUI. I have referred multiple clients to her for cases of this nature."

"Deandra is a superb lawyer, and is highly respected in the legal community. I would not hesitate to hire her for myself or refer my family to her."
"Ms. Grant is quite simply one of the best DWI/DUI trial lawyers in the great State of Texas. I have had the privilege to speak along side Deandra at DWI Blood Draw seminars in the past. She is a tough, dedicated, and accomplished advocate. Her Texas DWI Manual http://jamespublishing.com/shop/texas-dwi-manual/ is must have for any practicing DWI lawyer."
"Deandra has rather quickly become one of the very few go to attorneys for DWI's in North Texas due to her dogged strategic study of the science behind the DWI conviction machine. If you have a breath test/blood test DWI client that really needs the help of a true expert, interview Deandra. Lin McCraw"
