I can't say their winning percentage is a lie but I can assure you that they never once attempted to contact me about my case during the 13 Months prior to trial. On two of the three court appearances Brian Bolton showed up in jeans, I wish he cared enough about my case to at the very least dress the... part. And even though I hand delivered my arrest video the day I signed the contract it took them 7 MONTHS to watch it. I feel like they took advantage of me at a time when in was looking for hope, and I sincerely regret hiring them. They are nothing but money sharks that couldn't care less about you. And I'm sorry to say I got the same deal a free court appointed attorney would have gotten me. Terrible law firm!!!!!!

I’ve been an honest and hard working individual my whole life with a level head on my shoulders. But like all of us I am human and fell victim to a series of poor choices during a hard time in my life. During this time period, I started what I would come to find out would be a collection of DWI’s. ...My first one was in Houston, where I was caught sleeping in my truck. Regardless of actually driving or not, the keys were in the ignition. I was arrested and charged with DWI and possession of multiple controlled substances. I chose a lawyer that was the father of a close friend. I had faith and trust that being I had zero past troubles in my 30 plus years on earth along with being a corporate national sales rep with a career that this man could get me the best possible outcome. I couldn’t have been farther from the truth. This lawyer drug my case out over a year and yielded me a 2 year probation sentance with all the bells and whistles that go along with such outcome. My wife went with me the last hearing and did more in one sitting with the DA then he did. This cost me a grand total of $3500, and I got exactly what I paid for. During my probation time, I clearly hadn’t learned my lesson and made another poor choice, almost identical, this time I wasn’t sleeping, but pulled over. This violated my probation and racked up a dwi2 along with another possession of a controlled substance. I can’t even begin to explain how scared I was. This time I was a bit more educated on what type of lawyer I did not want to have, but still naive on what type I needed. Luckily I didn’t have to look very long before I found Rick and Brian. Rick had me come in for a consult and was honest, to the point and able to put my mind at some ease for the moment. Over the course of a year and a half, Rick and Brian did nothing less then what one would consider rock star magician tricks. Being I VOP’ed my original dwi, Brian traveled to Houston multiple times and was ultimately able to get my probation reinstated like it never had been violated. This happened because I did what he told me to do. Remember that you clearly have made a series of bad choices to end up where you are, so it’s time to start owning them and making better ones. Like following the advice you’re paying for. During this time period Rick was working my dwi2 in Collin county. Sadly even though I was not using alcohol in these arrest i was still forced at this point to have an alcohol monitoring device as a condition of bond. I strongly advise against using smart start, and going with interlox. I say this being I had issues with smart start. From dealing with them to their equipment. This resulted in having my bond revoked due to an alcohol violation. Once again I was beyond scared. Rick was able to not only resolve this, but it “magically” went away. From being under the assumption I would need to return to court to meet with the judge to being told that the warrant was dropped and bail reinstated with out any more hassle. Long story short, by the end, Rick was able to have my dwi2 reduced to a dwi1, possession charges “magically” vanished and my choice of 1 year probation and minimal fines or 3 days in jail. Keep in mind my original dwi yielded me 180 days in jail or 2 years probation. I took Rick and Brian’s advice, spent 36 hours in custody (total time in jail of a total 6 day sentence ) resolving my over a year nightmare in Collin county. During my time dealing with the firm, I’ve had the opportunity to deal with the entire team as well as them dealing with myself and family. They treat me like a caring friend and not just a client. If you listen to Rick and Brian, do what they instruct you to do, you will get more then what you pay for. I own my own business and have been in my industry 22 years. Quality isn’t expensive, it’s priceless. This saying applies to choosing legal representation. Brian and Rick helped me clean up a huge mess I made as well as myself.

When your future is at stake it is crucial to hire an attorney that will fight for you and that is exactly what Mr. McConathy did in my case. He represented me in a way that was exceptional, professional and & exemplified having a passion for making a wrong, right. I was facing a DWI and I had als...o refused a breathalyzer which required blood drawn. This is normally an automatic suspension with the DMV, but with the defense strategy and Mr. McConathy's representation, not only did the DMV judge not suspend my license but actually dismissed it! Next came the actual DWI criminal case that took 9 months. The prosecutor offered a plea that Mr. McConathy recommended that I did not take and we set for Jury Trial. At the hearing prior to the trial the Prosecutor agreed to Dismiss! This outcome only happened due to Mr. McConathy's dedication and hard work. I am forever grateful to Mr. McConathy's & his office & I Highly Recommend them!

All the Attorneys and the team in this law firm are literally unparalleled in their DWI defense practice!! They ARE the most knowledgeable leave no stone unturned worker bees that you want working for you! Believe me, my case was as complicated as it gets. Mr. Bolton was impeccably fluid during... my trial as things came up & changed. he never stopped fighting for me in my defense, ending an 8 hour trial winning a not guilty verdict !! They are responsive to your calls, questions or concerns within the day you call.... Which means loads as they know this charge affects the rest of your life. They feel like a near & dear loved one that will never leave your side! Thank you Mr. McConathy, Mr. Bolton and Christina for all of your patients & devotion to my case! You're simply the best, Kristen

Mr. McConathy and Mr. Bolton helped me through a case that lasted about 6 months. They're extremely knowledgeable when it comes to these cases and what to expect based on the location of offense (this is a very good thing). They were both very professional and I always got a sense of their passion fo...r their jobs. They helped me get a pretty good deal. I appreciated that they were direct with me and was upfront to help me make the best decisions. I also appreciated how things were explained from a legal perspective. Their office staff is awesome. Christina and Amanda were very professional, pleasant and very knowledgeable every single time I interacted with them whether it was in person, over the phone or email. I recommend this firm.
