John Eastland Review

I searched google looking for a Good DWI Defense lawyer in the east Texas area and came across some positive reviews on Mr Eastland, so I decide to give him a call. Well after sitting down with Mr. Eastland Day 1 we was straight Foward and honest guy! He never guarantee he would win my case but he t...old me he would do his best to win the case if taken to trail or get me the best Plea deal if I went that route. There will always be choices to make, but I didn't have any surprises from John. That was important to me. I would definitely recommend him to anyone searching for DUI/DWI lawyer

My case was bleak, but I felt I needed someone to shepherd me through the experience. John made everything understandable and advised me as what to expect. I was very satisfied with the help I received even if the outcome was obvious.

John is very professional and very good at what he does. I have used him on two occasions and he has done a very good job and went beyond my expectations. He also takes the time to listen to you personally to see if there is anything he can do to help you in or out of the courthouse.

CLASS ACT

WE WENT TO JOHN BECAUSE HE CAME HIGHLY RECOMENDED. WE PPRESENTED OUR CASE TO HIM AND HE KNEW WE HAD A FIGHTING CHANCE. HE ACTED MORE LIKE A FRIEND TO US THAN JUST OUR LAWYER. WE ENDED UP GOING TO COURT AND HE BATTLED IT OUT WITH THE JUDGE AND REALLY GOT US A GOOD DEAL. I WOULD RECOMEND HIM TO ANYONE ...WHO ASKS ME. HE HAS EVEN AGREED TO HELP US OUT WITH FURTHER ISSUES DOWN THE ROAD.

DUI and DWI lawyer | Apr 10

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I cannot endorse John enough when it comes to defending citizens accused of DWI in East Texas. He's the most knowledgeable attorney I know when it comes to the science of DWI law, and he often gets excellent trial results, that is, not guilty verdicts, in cases where I wouldn't think any lawyer would have much of a chance. If you need a DWI attorney, John Eastland is your guy."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. As a fellow attorney in the community I consider John the premier defense attorney in the area of DWI offenses. He is an expert in the field and by expert I mean he has attended all the courses and seminars that law enforcement attend. Very few attorneys have the knowledge and experience in this particularized field."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"As a former prosecutor, I had the opportunity to be opposing counsel for a DWI trial. Long story short, Mr. Eastland is the consummate professional. He is extremely knowledgeable in DWI defense and excels in the art of presentation. Now, as a fellow defense attorney, should I have questions about how to defend a DWI case, Mr. Eastland is the person I would ask. If you receive a DWI charge or you represent someone with a DWI charge and you have questions about the case, contact Mr. Eastland. You will not regret it."
