About Machell
Biography
I was born in Jamaica and raised in the DFW metroplex. I spent 9 years in the United States navy before coming back to Texas. I attended the University of Texas at Arlington where I graduated with a degree in Criminal Justice and Psychology. I obtained my law degree from Texas Southern University’s Thurgood Marshall School of Law. While in law school, I volunteered with the Innocence Project at the school’s Earl Carl Institute for Legal and Social Policy. I assisted with the process of overturning the sentences of wrongfully convicted individuals. After seeing firsthand how the criminal justice system can be unfair to minorities and the underprivileged, I became committed to providing the best legal counsel to the oppressed class.
My background and upbringing bring a unique perspective to the practice of law at Garcia Legal Group. I strives to understand the issues my clients face and to use my legal expertise to help clients solve their legal issues in the most efficient manner.

Waste
Wish I could give zero stars. Hired him to represent me on a felony 3 case. $3000. Did nothing. Hole in the wall office that looked like sht. Doesn't pay attention. Can't negotiate with prosecutor. Was only ever offered 3 years in prison with him. Fired him and hired a competent lawyer. First ...

Replied last January 31, 2018Mr. Eads, thank you for taking the time to write a review. Each and every review, both positive and negative helps the firm and myself to learn how to better serve clients. I am sorry that you had a negative experience with the firm. I am also sorry that that you weren’t able to give us the needed time to get you your desired outcome on the case. As you know, cases such as yours are difficult and it takes time and understanding to achieve acceptable results. As you know, our firm was the fourth attorney that you retained or that was assigned on the case. I feel that both the firm and myself went above and beyond to try and achieve an outcome that you would feel comfortable with. Like all my clients, I gave you options on how we could proceed, along with possible outcomes of each decision. I followed your decision on how you wanted your case to proceed, while giving you guidance. As you know, prosecutors have a wide range of discretion on the outcome of the case. Sometimes they allow personal feelings to influence their use of this discretion. That is something that no defense attorney has control over. That being said, I wish you and your current attorney the best of luck with your case in process.
