Consummate Professional

I frantically was searching for a criminal defense attorney and having no idea where to start, I simply filled out a few web forms detailing my situation. Navid call first thing the very next morning! As many others who have reviewed Mr. Alband, I can certainly attest that the system is slow and Navi...d will tell you that upfront. However, he will also give you a honest look into possible scenarios for your case with the evidence and conversations that you provide him with. Luane is simply a huge part of what makes Navid's practice so comforting. She is able to quickly follow-up and takes great notes and relays concerns to Navid...she is truly a jewel. Thank you both!

GUARDIAN ANGEL DURING AN UNEXPECTED MOMENT IN LIFE

I am 44 years old getting arrested for the first time in my life, falsely accused, confused, fortunately stumbled upon Attorney Navid Alband. Attorney Navid and the very courteous, kind and non judgemental office staff which includes Louann, worked with me through this long process where patience is ...a virtue. Was never over promised, no false hopes. Just a bit of advice for any body that goes thru the criminal defense process, be ready to be patient and don't think Navid is not listening when the process takes time because the odds are its the system itself where attorneys have no control over. In my case the end result was a NOT GUILTY verdict by a jury. Navid in my case, felt like a guardian angel i met in an unexpected moment in my life, who listened to me, believed me and came thru for me.

Personable and professional attorney!

Recently, our family needed the services of a criminal attorney. I called several law firms and all I was told was that someone would get back to me. Attorney Navid responded to my inquiry within fifteen minutes. By the time most law firms answered my inquiry, the Alband law firm was already half way... done with our case. Navid walked us through the whole process and was available to speak to us whenever we had questions. He worked on our case and kept us informed even while he was away on a trip! When I had to leave on a trip, which had been previously planned, Navid and his staff kept in close contact with my daughter who needed all the support! I am sooo grateful for all the support they offered and will highly recommend their services!

FOREVER THANKFUL!!

I never thought Id be in a situation to where I'd need a Criminal Defense Attorney - Sadly, IT HAPPEN - DWI - I quickly learned the Tarrant County Legal process was overwhelming, unsympathetic and seemed brutal. After calling several offices & Attorneys trying to grasp whats next. I WILL NEVER FOR...GET THE CALL- Mr. Alband gathered facts an invited to his office to review my case- Mr Alband listened, showed empathy, educated and made me aware of the legal processes, my rights and yes at times what seemed like his Law Firm covered my back & my held my hand. Mr. Alband not only helped reduce my charges, no probation, guided me through the complicated process of maintaining a TX Driver's License but THE ALBAND LAW FIRM saw the BIG PICTURE - MY LIFE & CAREER For that I'm -FOREVER THANKFUL - I can not imagine using a different LAW FIRM A special appreciation for Luane Brungardt Legal Assistant for handling all my calls

Thanks to Mr. Alband, a two-count indicted felony case was dismissed completely

Thanks in to Mr. Alband's knowledgeable advice and seasoned judgment, the prosecution moved to dismiss its entire case (two indicted felony counts of aggravated assault) against my god daughter. This was the best possible result and Mr. Alband achieved it. Mr. Alband and his team met with my g...od daughter multiple times, went over the facts in great detail, investigated the case carefully and interviewed numerous witnesses. He and his team knew the facts cold and always thought of how best to present her case. He was the model of a professional attorney. The investigative work of Mr. Alband's team documented the many weaknesses of the prosecution's case. Acting on Mr. Alband's advice, my god daughter decided to stand firm. There would be no guilty plea, no wavering, and no concessions. Eventually, the prosecution was forced to acknowledge that the case was fatally flawed and moved to dismiss it. Mr. Alband's deep professional knowledge and ability to chart the best course in the ups and downs of litigation (change of judges, prosecutors, etc.) was evident to me throughout. (I am retired attorney who practiced in New York and New Jersey.) A criminal record would have put a low ceiling on my god daughter's life. Now, freed of this limitation, she can choose her path without the heavy limitations imposed by a criminal record.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
