Best Johnson County Texas Attorney

I cannot express enough how grateful my husband and I are for the incredible support we've received from Bill Mason. He has not only guided us through a criminal defense legal situation that unexpectedly occurred. He is very knowledgeable, kind, very attentive and very personable. He took the tim...e to listen to our case and helped us right away. His dedication to his clients is unmatched. I highly recommend Mr. Mason if you ever need an attorney. Thank you again Mr. Mason.

Best Defense Lawyer in Texas!

Mr. Mason took the time to hear the facts about my case. He provided excellent counsel and was spot on with how he felt the case would go. If you need a reliable, honest, and personable attorney that will be on your side then Mr. Mason should be your first call!

Mr. Mason is an excellent attorney

Mr. Mason is an excellent attorney. He recently assisted my husband with a legal issue he has in Johnson County and thanks to Mr. Mason, my husband Brian was able to get a fair resolution which I am very pleased with. Mr. Mason was respectful, patient and communicated with me throughout the day o...f my husband's court date and hearing (which honestly helped calm me down as well). I would highly recommend Mr. Mason as an attorney.

Finding What Other Lawyers Could Not

I received a DWI in 1991, another in 2000, and regrettably a 3rd in the Summer of 2017. Facing a felony in Johnson County, and the realization that I am an alcoholic, my future as a husband and father seemed very dim. First, Mr. Mason was brutally honest with me in our first meeting, which helped m...e prepare for the unknown. Then, he encouraged me to seek professional treatment, telling me: "You focus on the future, and let me focus on the past." Within a few months Mr. Mason was able to discover my DWI conviction in 1991 had been dismissed, a fact my attorney in 2000 never even attempted to investigate. I have no regrets or resentments for this, only deep appreciation for the quality and attention to detail Mr. Mason provided. All roads led me to this place, and I will be forever grateful. Thanks to the support of family, The Center for Therapeutic Change, and the active program of Alcoholics Anonymous, I have been clean and sober since June 17, 2017 . . . but even more importantly . . . Thanks to Bill Mason and his staff, I am not a felon. My road to recovery is clear, and my legal standing is better than I deserve. I and my family are in deep appreciation for Mr. Mason's counsel and his legal expertise.

Defending my son

William Mason is the attorney I hired to handle my son's criminal assault case. My son was charged with sexual assault of a child. Mr. Mason was hired after the first lawyer we had for representation tried to direct my son to take a very onerous plea deal. Although Mr. Mason was retained late in the ...process, he was able to ascertain the specific positive and negative aspects of my son's charges and determine that he would be able to obtain an acquittal for the charges which he did. My son has been exonerated of all charges related to his case. Mr. William Mason did an excellent job for me and my son and I highly recommend him as a criminal defense attorney.

"I endorse this lawyer. Having worked around Bill Mason in the same community for many years, I can say without hesitation that he is the best trial lawyer that I have ever had the privilege of knowing. He is highly esteemed and admired by his fellow attorneys, who frequently seek him out for advice and counsel on complex legal issues and questions concerning trial strategy. I have seen Bill Mason try many complex criminal cases to juries, and his knowledge and skill in the courtroom always astounds me. In my opinion, you won't find an attorney who is more competent, more knowledgeable, more ethical, and more experienced as Attorney Bill Mason."
