Attorney Lenox was consulted on a criminal matter for a friend of mine! Attorney provided my friend with all his options! He also suggested to my friend his options could be handled better with an attorney who can navigate the court system.

Helped me considerably

He was sure to explain the process of the case with me and always updated me on any new information in or about the case. He was patient in helping me understand the more complex terms regarding the case. He dedicated a lot of time to helping me resolve this issue, as my case took 4 years to be compl...etely resolved due to several instances of complications. I am very grateful to him for the overall experience that he showed through his actions and preparation.

Office Manager

I hired Roger Lenox’s a couple of times many, many moons ago. After consulting with several of Dallas Top Attorney’s None could compare. He was my choice and for several reasons; Maybe it was the natural humbling spirit I got upon sitting in his office, or the pure honest knowledge/advice he gives. ...Roger worked diligently to assist me rather it was financially or spiritually. I was never surprised about the outcome of my case. Yes, he was my attorney but more like my friend. I’ve recommended him to several people and we all have the same story about his quality of work. It’s been numerous years and I still call him with any concerns and He’s still the same caring guy he was 20 years ago. #BESTATTORNEYIKNOW

Terrible!

I will say Mr. Lennox is probably an amazing attorney when he is directly hired but having him court appointed was the worst experience and no help. He has no time for certain cases and will let you know that every time you come. Attorneys are supposed to be help in times of need and he was nothing t...o that effect. I really feel he wants some of his cases to just go to jail so he doesn't have to deal with it. I do not recommend him.

Replied last December 14, 2017

For the past several years, I have represented mentally ill clients through court appointments (they cannot hire me); many of which are not taking their medications properly, if at all, and are prone to be dissatisfied with anything and everything that happens to them. Until they are balanced with properly prescribed medications in the proper dosages, and engaged with appropriate services, they are likely to say anything, and often do. I empathize with this largely under-represented population and continue to strive to assist them in whatever ways are available, and that they will allow. Without their cooperation and participation in the plans and programs we provide, their success is doomed. "Terrible" describes the situation most of these clients are in when they come into our program charged with crimes. "Rehabilitated and Restored" is how most of the participants leave the program, along with having their case(s) dismissed. For many it is a long road, but for the ones inclined to apply themselves, it can be quite rewarding. The ones that do not apply themselves often go to jail.

Excellent Attorney

Roger Lenox is very good lawyer. I consulted with him on a legal matter where there was a potential of criminal charges being filed. Although I had a defensible case, Mr Lenox's consult helped me to handle my case in the best way possible.
