Richard Charles Mcconathy

Richard McConathy is simply the best lawyer in Texas period! The whole staff is great. Always on top of things, calls, emails, and the attention to clients and service is beyond anything I can say. The best was the results, a Not Guilty!!! If your in trouble for a criminal offense and need a real bul...ldog on your side the get Richard McConathy, you wont regret it.

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 have retained Richard for a multiple felony cases. It’s still early in the pre trial phase and this isn’t my first rodeo. I have had court appointment lawyers and paid defense. Richard has once never promised anything and is definitely good at under promising and over delivering at this point (s...ome may not understand this as a good thing). I had been arrested for a new cases while on bond for a F1. Richard got me a bond hearing in less than two weeks to get my bond reinstated so that I could resume my life and get back to my business which I employ over 24 people and I’m beyond blessed I didn’t sit a month waiting on a bond hearing like others in the jail had told me. Richard visited me 2x in that period and had one of his lawyers who I was very impressed with handle my bond hearing. He spent over 90 minutes in the Attorney visitation preparing me for my hearing. Several people told me their lawyer didn’t visit them once before a bond hearing. I picked Richard not only for good reviews but I actually liked the fact he has multiple lawyers in his firm. When you have multiple cases it can be good to have multiple lawyers reviewing your case. At least in my experience. I know their are some small one lawyer firms that are awesome but I see this as pro. Also for me he has a TON of experience in Dallas and Collin counties where my cases are which was important for me retaining him. Also his partner has a lot of Dallas County experience. One of my charges is a 3RD DWI which is an F3. So I feel I have the right defense/law firm for my situation. As of right now I might have a shot at probation or I could be going to state prison but Richard has not once promised or guaranteed anything in regards to the outcomes even with how much I have pressed him for one. So that’s a good thing from my experience. Also I have a large bill but Richard is working with me and his terms are reasonable. Just pay balance in full when the case is ready to be disposed. Pretty fair to me. Back to the bond hearing...I was arrested on Friday and Richard was there Monday to get me in front of judge. He had me then set for May 9th but got it move up 2 1/2 weeks which was huge weight off my shoulders. His law firm also called my girlfriend regularly giving her updates and they could always be reached. I know I bounced around a lot but so far I’m happy I have retained his law firm. Oh and also after my 3rd DWI arrest they were already on the ball and got my hearing set up to be scheduled so I can keep my license while on bond. I’m not sure the folks who mentioned lack of communication or all he cares about is money. At the end of the day this is a business and they have to be paid. Yes his pricing for a basic retainer (no trial etc....) is on the higher end but as I mentioned I see my money being put to work. Anyone who says they are better off with a court appointed good luck!!! I saw dudes who had been waiting on bond hearing for 45 days and couldn’t get ahold of their lawyer. We are talking about your freedom and financial ruin while awaiting a case. I’m happy I got Richard defending me and my freedoms for my cases. I will update with the outcomes and I’m sure they will be great as I know Richard wants what’s best for his clients as I already saw him in action with my recent no bond hold in Collin county.

The decision to hire Richard McConathy Law firm turned out to be the best decision I could have made. I had no idea that my case was going to last over two years but I am glad they are the ones who were with me throughout the entire process. Both of the attorneys, Richard McConathy and Brian Bolton, ...were extremely professional, knowledgeable, honest and straightforward throughout the entire process. I came up with several different lists of questions and they always made time for a meeting and answered all of my questions thoroughly. The entire staff was very professional and prompt, I was kept up to date through emails and anytime I needed to talk to someone whether on the phone or in person they always made it happen in a timely manner. I had a serious felony charge that could have resulted in a serious punishment, yet through their knowledge and persistence we were able to get the punishment reduced to a fraction of the potential sentence. I was very pleased with the ending result and the way I was treated throughout the entire time. I would highly recommend Richard McConathy Law Firm.

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
