It was the worst moment of my life when I got put to a legal mess by a person who I loved so much and I cared so much about. I was charged with domestic violence (DV) and it is one of the worse cases for non-immigrants like me. I hired a lawyer with 25 years of experience thinking that he was the rig...ht one to solve my case. However, I had to pay him more money that was beyond the contract. I felt like he was favoring my ex-girlfriend more than me when he asked her if she wanted to file for child support. He even explained how to get free apartment as a victim of DV according to my ex-girlfriend. Still I didn't give up on him thinking that he would fight for me to dismiss my case. However, he called me and told me they didn't want to dismiss my case. According to him, they wanted to convict me with Domestic Violence class C misdemeanor and he told me to accept it and "get over" with it. For non-immigrants, it doesn't matter what class of DV you get convicted with - you are subject to deportation and he knew that very well. I finally realize that he wasn't the right attorney for me. I started looking for one who could handle my case aggressively. I found Efrain Sain on AVVO. When I talked to him first time on the phone, I felt like he was the right one. And then, I met him personally and discussed about the situation. He considered very well on his fee since I had already spent too much money paying my previous attorney. Besides, he explained how my case can be dismissed and how it can go worse. He guided me and reminded me time to time to avoid certain things that would make my case worse. It was first court date with him when he got conditional dismissal from the judge. And that's when I felt my hope turned into reality. I finished my 12-week anger management class and my case is completely dismissed. I thank a lot to attorney Sain.

i was arrested for seeling alcohol to a minor and we found him through a friend, he walked us through what he would do to help me close this case and the prize was reasonable! we finally got my case closed after a year due to some delays with the court but he was with me through this whole horrible e...xperience. I really do recommend him to anyone thinking about getting a lawyer

I was facing a misdemeanor C family violence charge after a discussion escalated between my husband and I and the police got involved. No matter what my husband and I said the charges were being pursued. With no criminal history and a potential to lose my nursing license and job and potentially havin...g to go to trial against my husband there was much to lose. Efrain was honest and persistent to get to the bottom of things. He didn't overcharge me for his services. He was realistic about the potential outcome but fought to get the charges dismissed just as we were about to set a court date. He was a blessing during a very difficult 6 months of my life.

I was visiting one of my friends when a fight broke out, I tried to help the situation without touching anyone, however a year after the event I was falsely accused and charged of an assault as well as the other people present there. That is when I recieved a mail from Mr. Sain. Usually I am skep...tical of anything solicited but he had his education and a free consultation option mentioned in the flyer, so I called and booked a visitation. At my first meeting he was very informative of the court systems and how I should go about this trial, he was understanding of my financial situation and gave me a good deal for looking into this case, but more so he believed my story. Even though the court took two years to resolve this case, and two other defendants were similarly charged. Comparing Mr. Efrain to the other defendant's lawyer who was supposed to be an expensive, well known lawyer, in these two years Mr Efrain did a splendid job at keeping up with the details of the case, witness, court dates and even meeting with me. He was very compassionate about my requirements, always present, and even took out the time to come to the other defendants trials to be prepared for mine. I did not have a jury trial even though I paid for one, a week later the judge offered a trial but that did not happen either because Mr. Efrain was able to get me a good plea bargain. Either way prior to the plea bargain, he put forth all his effort as if we WERE going trial. He maybe late for your first court date or few others but his office is all the way in Valley View lane and he's running around denton and collin county, so do not think he does not care, he does; but traffic is real too. Be patient with him, and he will be understanding and patient with you.
