When Bad gets worse

I had to do all my own legal work. He wouldn't file motions that needed to be filled. He attempted to put a murder case he had above mine and when the prosecutor was going to enhance charges (he was supposed to file the motion to suppress 2 months earlier) I had to be my own advocate. He had legal do...cuments that had been forged by the U.S. Government and had video evidence of the lies and forgery and he didn't use any of it. My case could've gotten dismissed or at worst a lighter sentence for sure. I'd never recommend him to anyone with a Federal case.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Roger is a top notch criminal defense attorney who is a former Assistant Dallas County District Attorney. He has set up his practice to assist anyone charged or being investigated for a crime anywhere in the state or in the federal system. Anytime I have a client charged with a crime in Dallas County I use Roger to help assist me and my client. Roger and I have worked together on many criminal cases in the past and I am impressed each and every time I chose to add him to my trial team. He is a strong Christian man with a great desire to help his clients while they are going thru a very stressful time in their lives."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
