About Efrain
Biography
I feel very fortunate that I get to help people at such crucial times in their lives. There is nothing more fulfilling than hearing the words "Not Guilty" spoken by the jury foreperson. Or, to see a client's beaming smile when we get an order dismissing a case that we've been working on for a while.
I started as a professional musician, getting a music degree at UNT. However, I realized that I wanted to help people in a more concrete way. I went to UT Law School and opened up my own law firm on January 1, 2000. All I have done these 15 years is criminal defense because that is all I want to do. EVERY time I walk into the court room my client's freedom and reputation is on the line.
The State of Texas or the United States has unlimited resources to go after an individual. I take on that challenge with gusto because I care deeply about fairness and justice for my clients.
Some of my clients have been CEO's or CFO's. Most of my clients, though, have not been from such an executive class. They are hardworking people, who have to work to put food on the table. Many of them do not even speak English. There is no client too small or criminal charge too big that I will not handle.
I practice mainly in the DFW area but have defended cases all over Texas. Contact me for a free visit. If you feel good about our meeting, I would love to fight for you.

Don't make the mistake of hiring this attorney
Do NOT ever hire this attorney. As soon as you pay him the fee charged, he will forget everything about your case. I hired him a time back, and he would barely raise a finger during our trial. Very much to my surprise, he had me select the jury for my trial. I'm not an attorney, and was not aware tha...

Ms
I was arrested and taken to jail with a DWI . I’ve never had any convictions or been in that situation before so everything was new to me. Not only to mention I’m a DACA holder, so everything and anything could hurt my status.As a young adult is hard to be taken serious due to our age.We still want ...

Great attorney!
My case was quite difficult due to my immigration status. Although I am in the process of fixing through my wife, probation was a risky option. Going to report to probation would risk me getting deported. Mr. Sain handled my case better than anyone else could have. He negotiated with the DA's and got...

A Miracle
Provided me with a free consultation for my husband't criminal case. Was very thorough with reviewing the case and potential outcomes. He kept us informed throughout the whole process and managed to find a loop hole in the system, which allowed for the charges to be dropped (when my husband was look...

Great Lawyer
My senior year of high school in 2007 I got charged with theft 50 but under 500 dollars. I had a full ride scholarship and could not afford to lose it. Efrain Sain was the lawyer I hired and he did a phenomenal job. He got my case dismissed and expunged. I am very grateful for his service and would s...
