THE BEST HANDS DOWN

We hired Lee to represent my son’s dad in a federal indictment. Lee, his assistant Will, and their receptionist Mrs. Williams (I think is her name) were AMAZING!!! Not only did we get the smallest amount of time sentenced on the federal indictment but he also got every single state case dismissed and... my son’s dad had many of them! They kept us informed and made sure we understood everything! The very few times they weren’t available when I called, they called me back within 24 hours. Not once did they make me feel like a burden and I literally called them EVERY day and sometimes multiple times a day! The hospitality of both Lee and Will and their secretary/receptionist is TOP TIER!!!! This is hands down the BEST law firm and NOBODY could ever convince me otherwise!!! Thank you all for saving our family and freedom!!!!

The best Lawyer that isn't about the money

Mr. Bright is in my eyes the best Lawyer that will fight for you and will be straight forward with you from the beginning to the end and has helped me and my family and friends that I have referred to him with good results and will continue to refer him to anyone who needs help through the criminal s...ystem.

My opinion, best criminal attorney in dfw. Maybe in the state

Lee has been the attorney I refer all of my complicated criminal cases to for 14 years. He is by far the best criminal attorney in the Dallas Fort Worth area. I've sent over a 1000 cases to him over the past 13 years. I have yet to be disappointed. I don't base things on reviews, I'm strictly per...formance based. If I needed someone in Dallas, lee is my go to attorney. I can't recommend him highly enough.

Highly recommended

Our family had to deal with a DUI and were referred to Lee Bright for council. Our case was handled with professionalism and Lee's advice was priceless. We were extremely grateful for his experience level, knowledge and the service Lee provided. The outcome was a not guilty ruling!! He was very res...pectful and kept us informed regarding our options, provided us with his professional advice and let us make informed decisions. Thank you so much Lee! We recommend him to anyone we meet in need of legal council

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Lee Bright is the most knowledgeable and skilled criminal defense lawyer I have ever met. I have been fortunate to work with him on cases in the past and I often refer criminal cases to him. Mr. Bright always provides excellent representation with many of my referrals receiving "not guilty" verdicts or significantly reduced punishments in plea bargains that I never would have thought possible. I highly recommend Mr. Bright for all Federal and State Criminal Charges."
