Defending the individual against the might and resources of the government is my passion and my calling. There are far too many criminal laws on the books and, as a result, we basically live in a police state. I believe very strongly in the vision of our founding fathers, notably Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, that the government should be subservient to the people, not the other way around. This is why I proudly oppose the government at each and every turn when it seeks to take away my clients' freedom, reputation, or even life.
I invite you to visit my website, learn about me and my approach to defending your case, and see and hear some of my my media appearances. You should always have a good, solid gut feeling about whether a lawyer is right for you. I look forward to speaking with you, and helping you through what I understand is a very dark time. I will help you carry your burden, and we will seek the right outcome in your case together.

Brian is a passionate defense attorney who fights hard for his clients. He is very knowledgeable and thoroughly evaluates every case. He finds weakness in the State's case to battle against the prosecutor, whether in negotiations or trial. He is well respected by the prosecutors, fellow defense attorneys and the judges in Tarrant County. He is a warrior.

Almost nobody is more enthusiastic about a court fight than Brian Bouffard. He loves it! He makes prosecutors cringe because he has all day to take their case apart. I've seen him in action and it works. I endorse this lawyer!

I have known and worked with Brian on courts-martial defense cases since 2010. Unquestionably, Brian is an keen trial strategist and a brilliant trial lawyer. So much so that our law firm routinely refers military clients to Brian. We do this because he is passionate about defending those who defend America, isn't scared to take even the toughest matter to trial and routinely wins the unwinnable cases. Brain is truly in the upper echelon of the elite community that have dedicated their practice to defending military service members around the world who have been charged with serious offenses under the UCMJ.

I first met Brian over 12 years ago when we were trial advocates on active duty. Brian was an "old salt" when I checked in as a new Marine judge advocate and I quickly learned that his reputation as the most respected defense counsel on base was well-deserved. He is a highly experienced military justice practitioner, a superb trial advocate and totally committed to his clients. He was highly regarded both by the prosecutors and the judges he practiced before. With Brian as your counsel, you can rest assured you are receiving some of the best representation available!
Haytham Faraj, Military law Attorney on Jul 30, 2012
Relationship: Friend
I endorse this lawyer. Brian established a legendary reputation as a defense lawyer. He had a string of trial victories where we both previously worked that remains untouchable.
