About Gary
Biography
I have a passion for justice and enjoy helping my clients get past a criminal problem and return their lives to normal and the way it was before their arrest. My clients are good people who have made a mistake. With good legal counsel, I believe it is possible to keep a criminal case from ruining your life, your job and your good name.
I know a little about making mistakes. When I was in law school I made a poor decision that put me in a place where I was shot in the back by a crazy person. I did not see this coming. But with the right counsel, good advice, good medical care and several years of hard work I was able to overcome this tragedy and become a healthy person and a successful attorney. I want you to have the advantage of good counsel so you can make the right decisions and return your life to normal. I know that after talking to me you will immediately feel better about your situation in that you will know what you are up against, what your options are and what the best course of action is to return your life to normal. I will let you know if I can help you and if I want to be your attorney. I am not the right attorney for everyone nor am I the cheapest. If I am not the right attorney for you I will give you some names of other attorneys who may be better suited for you and your case. I look forward to meeting you.
We are committed 110% in being that firm for you!

DWI
After an agonizing DWI arrest, I hired the Medlin Law Firm after a recommendation and research. So grateful for Dean, my attorney. Dean is a very thoughtful and intelligent attorney, I highly recommend him and the Medlin Law Firm.

Excellent Law Firm!
The Medlin law firm is absolutely a top notch law firm! The entire staff was professional, kind, and extremely patient with my many questions.

Replied last August 7, 2020Thanks for the great review Candice. You had a very difficult case but Matt would not give up until he was able to get a result of not guilty for you. Hope all is well for you now and in the future!

Excellent experience
I was able to get a Felony Assault case No-Billed thanks to the incredible work by the team at Medlin Law Firm. Gary Medlin, Will, and Angela all played essential roles in getting my case No-Billed. Do not hesitate to call Medlin Law Firm, they will fight for your freedom!

Replied last July 31, 2020Thanks Ryan. We were sure that you were innocent and we took advantage of the grand jury to get your case no-billed, or dismissed, which was the appropriate result under the facts. Good luck in the future!

Experienced and well executing attorney
We were taken care of beyond anything we had ever expected. At the first hearing, we were ready to settle with the conditions set by the DA. However, Will was not satisfied with the outcome and was willing to fight to ensure we got the best outcome. Our case ended up being dismissed. We could not hav...

Replied last July 29, 2020Thank you for the review; we were happy to help you get the well-deserved dismissal of your case. We fight when other attorneys just want to plea-bargain. Good luck in the future!
Gary L. Medlin's Lawyer Endorsements
"Gary hired me to work for him after spending four years in the District Attorney's office in Tarrant County. Since working for Gary I have learned so much and can truly vouch for his expertise in Criminal Law. He understands the client always comes first and will fight to extremes in order to get the best result for the client as possible."
"I met Gary at a conference. As a fellow criminal defense lawyer in a different state, I was interested in knowing how criminal laws operate in Texas. I was able to discern that Gary knows what he is talking about with regard to DUI and other criminal laws. If I had a client in Texas I would recommend to Gary."
"Gary is not only dedicated to his clients, but his vast knowledge of criminal law and the courts put him at the top of his field. I happily endorse Mr. Medlin."
"I have known and worked with Gary for many years. He is an outstanding advocate for his clients and is extremely knowledgeable."
"I endorse this lawyer. Gary Medlin is a "stand-up" criminal lawyer and the "go-to" lawyer in Tarrant County for ALR hearings. I have regularly hired him as local counsel in Fort Worth and I will continue to do so."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I have known Gary Medlin for the better part of the past 20+ years. Highly intelligent and super conscientious, Gary genuinely cares about taking care of the rights of his clients. Further, his personal and professional integrity is beyond reproach. I would trust him with any referral involving a criminal matter. If for whatever reason, he believed that due to his caseload, time constraints or any other limitation that he was not the best possible attorney for the case, I know he'd make sure the client got into the hands of the person best equipped to help. In short, my endorsement is simply unequivocal. M Beth Krugler, JD MS Attorney-Mediator Former President, Tarrant Bar Assoc."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Gary is a gentleman and a scholar who helped me out recently when I was in a bind and needed some help on a case that had some Texas implications. He was Johnny on the spot, interrupted his weekend, and followed through perfectly. I am glad not only to call him a colleague, but also my friend."
