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!

Top notch team, professional and personable

I remember looking for lawyers through associates and not finding much luck. I googled “best criminal lawyers in Texas” and up popped the Medlin law firm. My first impression was a great one— I had left a voicemail for the office and Gary Medlin himself called me back after hours to discuss my case. ...(Talk about dedication) I was looking at a felony charge for possession of a controlled substance. I am still young and have much to accomplish, so a charge like that really could have put a damper on my dreams. Other lawyers I had spoken with told me more than likely they could have my charge dropped to a misdemeanor— but that wasn’t good enough for me. Gary Medlin and his team of lawyers ultimately got my charges DISMISSED and in route for expungement. I cannot thank this firm enough for their professionalism and diligence. If you want lawyers and paralegals you can trust, call the Medlin law firm. Thank you again!

Will Gallagher

I have a child with a disability and was wrongfully accused of child endangerment by a school. When I explained my case to Will he answered all of my questions and gave me hope for a dismissal. Will was very professional and polite. He didn’t doubt my innocence, which gave me a huge sense of relief. ...Because of Will, my case was dismissed! Thank you! I would strongly recommend the Medlin Law Firm for legal representation!

Felony Case

I was charged with a third degree felony involving fraud, credit card abuse, identity theft and elderly exploitation- punishable up to ten years in prison. I did not know what my rights were or anything about the laws of a felony crime. I chose the Medlin Law Firm because from the start they starte...d assisting me with my case and advised me of my rights and what my options were. We took the case to trial against one of the toughest DA’s in Tarrant County. Matt did an Amazing job keeping me informed the entire time. Matt and Dean worked non stop on my case and never backed down at trial. They were so knowledgeable of the law and the two of them were the perfect calm before the storm. The verdict was NOT GUILTY. I urge you to call the Medlin Law Firm for any legal trouble you may have. The entire staff is friendly, welcoming and very informative. BM

"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."

Thomas Weber

Criminal defense lawyer | Aug 20

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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."

Alfredo Lozano

Tom Hill

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer."

M. Krugler

Criminal defense lawyer | Jun 17

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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."
