Top defense attorney, A++++

When you're being charged with any crime, it is something that needs to be taken very seriously.  Selecting the right attorney to defend your reputation, freedom and rights is the most important decision you will make in the situation.  I'm so very glad I made the decision to select Hernandez and Bag...gett.  They had excellent communication and were very responsive to answer all my questions from start to finish.  They took the allegations against me very seriously and they put together an amazing defense for my trial, which showcased credibility flaws in all the witnesses who were testifying against me.  The background checks they pulled and how they used that information to raise doubts in the courtroom, it was on the level Perry Mason style detective work and even better.  Extremely thoughtful,  strategic,  and well played!  I am so impressed with how they handled my case every step of the way.  The prosecution left ashamed and embarrassed with the attention they had brought onto themselves to even bring this case to trial.  I can't speak highly enough about Robert Hernandez and Shea Baggett.  There is no case they couldn't handle, and I'd trust them with absolutely anything.

DUI Case- High BACs

Robert was able to negotiate a lesser charge of highway obstruction. My BACs were high at almost 15%. I interviewed Dallas's top lawyers and most were very bleak in their outlook. Another top lawyer's sole strategy was just to negotiate my jail time. Robert explored every option thoroughly on th...e other hand. Robert does not rush working the case details with you and takes the time to explain everything thoroughly. This is something I really appreciated, and is hard to find in a lawyer. Overall, Robert is the kind of lawyer you want in your corner, is someone that will fight for you, and I give him my highest recommendation.

Robert and Baggett you are awesome people

I hired Robert&Baggett to represent me in DWI case that I found myself in January 2016. Robert told me the challenges that were ahead of me and since am Truck driver (CDL) my job depends on my driving licence I was in a tight situation since my blood analysis was at 0.17. My licence was to be suspen...ded and immediately Robert asked for a hearing with DPS and we won my licence wasn't suspended. We embarked on the main case and Robert and Baggett did a great job my case was heard by jury in april 17&18 2017 and I couldn't believe my ears when the jury came back with a verdict of not guilty. I highly recommend this two attorneys to any one facing DWI they know their stuff just too well. I Will always be grateful for fighting for me

Amazing experience!

Robert is just amazing! I hired him because I got my first dwi after I had hired a different lawyer before him who did absolutely nothing with my case but have me waiting. Robert however took over my case. I was still not sure if I could trust him because I had a bad experience with the lawyer before... but I knew I just had to give it a shot and hope this could be off my record so it wouldn't affect my career plans . Robert was there for me through the whole process and always upfront and honest. When it was time for trial I can honestly say he did so great that I was found NOT guilty and my dwi was off my record. I don't know how to thank this man for what he's done and his generosity. After the court I just couldn't help but cry and hug me because this was something that had been weightin on me for a while and I just wanted to be done with this and Robert did just that. Thank you so much Robert -DS

DUI Dismissal

Robert is absolutely a amazing lawyer, I never thought I was going to get my case dismissed but thanks to Robert he fought for me and made it possible. I was 19 when I the incident happened. Robert looked for enough evidence so I couldn't be found guilty. I totally recommend this lawyer he knows what... he is doing. You would not have to worry about anything over your case he will take care of you. 100% reliable lawyer
