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 ...
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I strongly endorse John Eastland. John has a very focused criminal defense practice and is very good at what he does. John loves "the fight" and that is the kind of attorney you want on your side."
"John Eastland is an outstanding trial attorney who will fight for your rights. I have known him for over a year and I consider him a mentor and friend."
"John has an exceptional knowledge and understanding of the scientific aspects of DWI cases. He's a go-to source whenever I've got close-call cases involving breath or blood results."
"I endorse this lawyer for his work ethic and knowledge in the East Texas Area. I've followed John for years and his reputation is outstanding. He knows the courts in Smith and surrounding counties and gets the job done right for his clients."
"John is an excellent choice as an attorney for anyone charged with a DWI or any other Criminal offense. John and I discuss strategies on a regular basis on how to better try certain cases. He and I have both been trying cases in Smith County for years and I'm proud to give him my endorsement. Sincerely, Erick Platten"
"John is an outstanding criminal defense attorney. His work ethic and desire to get the best results for his clients separate him from his peers. When I have clients in east Texas that ask me who I recommend they hire for their criminal defense cases I tell them: John Eastland."
"I endorse this lawyer. John is an impressive attorney whose knowledge and resolve truly set him apart. When choosing an attorney to defend you for DUI you must choose one who will try cases, Jon's legal philosophy fits this mold. I had the good fortune to meet Jon at the nation's most advanced DUI Blood Evidence training for attorneys. Jon's combination of trial skill and advanced training make him an excellent choice when selecting a DUI defense attorney."
